Eulophiella

Definitely Will Stay Here Again There is something very special about this place and the people working there. Our room was large, modern, surrounded by amazingly well-maintained flower gardens and grounds. Mark and the staff are incredibly accommodating and luckily for us spoke English. Fine food, outdoor dining, great tunes, terrific vistas, and incredible night walk to see birds and lemurs and chameleons and frogs and lizards, and the place is fantastic. Don’t by out off by the 5km of dirt road to get there, it’s totally worth it!

Access is on a quite rough road, which is best done by a 4x4, but such a vehicle is anyway recommended, if one also wants to visit the prime forest of the Mantadia National Park around Andasibe, one of Madagascar's top destinations. The Eulophiella Lodge, named after a Madagascar orchid, which can be seen by the entrance, is surrounded by beautiful nature, which one can discover on one's own or during a guided night walk, offered for a fee by the lodge. Check-in was easy and all the staff in general very friendly. We stayed in a Villa Deluxe all on our own with great views from the veranda with deckchairs. It had two king size beds and two washbasins in the bathroom, maybe meant for two couples staying together. Storage space in comparison is rather limited. There is an attractive restaurant, where we were seated by a fireplace, with a small, but good choice of items. Breakfast was served out on the restaurant's veranda. Only here, not in the rooms, is WiFi available. Don't expect a swimming pool. From all the accommodations in Andasibe this is probably the one in the most beautiful surroundings and with an unusual high standard.

Very unique property within a forest . Mark at reception was so helpful for making my stay as comfortable.
