About
Gîte Libelle François, on Réunion, is a guest house set in Aurère Mafate within La Possession 97419, an area known for its mountainous interior. First-time visitors should expect a stay in a remote part of the island, well away from the coastal towns.
With 12 reviews and a rating of 4.4 out of 5, the guest house has a small but positive record among those who have stayed. Reaching it from the main resorts and towns is not straightforward, as Mafate is accessible only on foot, and the island has no railway, so travel to the trailheads is by car or bus. The surrounding area is mountainous, and the interior terrain is rugged throughout.
Réunion's cooler dry season runs from May to November, with a wetter summer from December to April, which affects conditions for anyone walking in the interior. The island also lies in the cyclone belt, and the cyclone season runs from November to April.
Nearby settlements include Saint-Denis, Saint-Paul and Cilaos, though the last of these is also reached by road through the mountains. Humpback whales visit Réunion's waters between June and September, along with dolphins and sea turtles, giving visitors a reason to spend time on the coast before or after a stay inland.
