gîte Cœur de Mafate
About
In Réunion, gîte Cœur de Mafate is a guest house in La Possession, on the island's mountainous interior. The address, La Possession 97419, places it on the western side of Réunion, within reach of the island's walking country.
Guests who stay here are drawn by the mountain setting of the Mafate area, which is reached on foot rather than by road. A first visit calls for walking gear and supplies, since the surrounding landscape is remote and the access is on trails rather than paved routes. Visitors have given it 4.6 out of 5 across 43 reviews, a solid record for a small mountain guest house.
The guest house sits close to Cilaos and Saint-Paul, both of which serve as starting points for the interior. Réunion's cyclone season runs from November to April, so walkers planning a stay in the highlands often aim for the drier months between May and November.
Cari, a curry of meat, fish or vegetables served with rice and rougail, is the staple dish to try while on the island. Réunion's interior is mountainous, with the Piton des Neiges rising above 3,000 metres, and the tropical climate runs cooler and drier from May to November before the wetter summer arrives in December.
