Gîte des Rosiers
About
Gîte des Rosiers, on Réunion, is a chalet set in Mafate, La Possession 97419, high in the island's mountainous interior.
First-time visitors should expect the isolation that comes with a Mafate address, since this chalet sits in Réunion's interior rather than on the coast. Guests rate Gîte des Rosiers 4.5/5 across 81 reviews, a record built on stays in this remote setting. Reaching the chalet from the main towns means travelling inland from La Possession, and Réunion's lack of a railway makes car or bus the practical options on the coastal roads before the climb.
Mafate's position in the island's mountain country places Gîte des Rosiers well away from the coastal resorts such as Saint-Gilles-les-Bains and Saint-Leu. The chalet's 81 reviews and 4.5/5 rating reflect how visitors respond to that setting.
With the Piton des Neiges rising above 3,000 metres in Réunion's interior, the highlands around Mafate are cooler and greener than the coast. Travellers heading for the chalet should plan around the cyclone season from November to April, when the island's weather is least settled.
