La Vieille Tonnelle
About
La Vieille Tonnelle serves Réunion from Le Tampon, in the island's southern highlands. The guest house takes its name from an old arbour, and it sits inland rather than on the coast.
Guests rate it 4.9 out of 5 from 27 reviews, a high score for a small property. Le Tampon is reached by road from Saint-Pierre and the southern coast, and with no railway on Réunion, a car or bus is the practical way to arrive. The town also sits within reach of Cilaos to the north-west and of the western resorts around Saint-Gilles-les-Bains and Saint-Paul.
La Vieille Tonnelle is a guest house, offering rooms rather than restaurant covers.
French is the official language of Réunion, with Réunion Creole spoken widely in daily life, so a few words of either help around the island. Réunion has a tropical climate, with a cooler dry season from May to November and a wetter summer from December to April, and the island lies in the cyclone belt, with its cyclone season running from November to April.
