My daughter stays here about four times a year. I was here three years ago to stay. I feel my daughter is safe here and they treat her FANTASTIC! Without even saying her name, I'm sure Michel and Bijou know exactly who I am talking about. The food is excellent.....not ever having been to Africa before, I wasn't sure what... More

I was here for about 7 weeks ago. The room was dirty, bugs in the beds and the toilet didnt work. We were suppose to stay there the whole weekend but we only stayed one night. The couple that owns this place has three german sheperds, they are loose and walks free on the property. My friend went out in... More

My 7 stays in 8 years must say something. As ever Jean Michel and Biou brought to what is really now just their hobby a unique, quirky and amazingly good value for money input that cannot be found elsewhere. (Who unkindly said thankfully?!) Think Basil Fawlty en Afrique. The setting is wonderful, with the views over Blantyre in the early... More

In September I organised a study tour in Malawi and our starting and ending point was Blantyre. We staid at the Hotellerie de France. I knew this place from 2006. Jean Michel and Boui are fantastic. They are great entertainers and all the time happy to help and solve problems. The first help was at the airport while arriving. It... More

This place was a great find in Blantyre. The best things are the friendly and fascinating (if eccentric!) owner, the great views, the nice swimming pool and clean rooms. The food and wine are great and the price is very reasonable. The only downside was that the place was empty apart from us so that the atmosphere was a little... More

Friendly staff member greeted us on arrival, went to check our booking with the owner who was hideously patronising to him, to the point we felt uncomfortable. Price was then higher than agreed by email for executive room. We were told we could have it at agreed rate if no receipt. There was a power cut and generator only permitted... More

This is a must see place in Blantyre. The owner is probably the biggest attraction in the city, the food is superb and the accomodation is a whole lot better than the other places we visited. The price-quality is excellent. The view from the restaurant/swimming pool over Blantyre is spectacular. The swimming pool is immaculately clean.

Stayed here twice and both times was made very welcome. The staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast is always tasty and generous portions. Evening meal great too. Its nice to sit out by the pool for breakfast. Reasonably priced rooms and I will return again sometime. Also not far from Blantyre city centre.
