Fodor's Expert Review Chateau St. Cloud

Part of a former vanilla plantation in La Digue's lush interior at the foot of the island's only mountain, this lovely old chateau is surrounded by a tranquil garden filled with orchids and exotic flowers. Rooms are large and clean, mostly with mountain views, and the rate includes a good breakfast and free Wi-Fi. A lovely pool and restaurant/bar make for relaxing public areas where you can get to know fellow guests.
