House vacation rentals in Mantasoa

Mme Faras home is a GEM! A rare find! A beatiful and well kept house, pool and garden. We loved it there! We stayed for four weeks with our two children (2and 6 yo) and happily ate the malagazy dinners Fara made every day. She's a great cook! Mme Fara also gave us very useful medical advice (she's a doctor). The pictures in the listing are accurate, the house is light and beatiful, and very well climatized. By Malagacy standards this must be an extremely high standard house, it almost felt like living in a house in the south of France. Few mosquitos and also the pool is lovely and clean. The only downside, I have to say, is that one can feel a bit isolated this far outside Antananarivo. It took us approximately two hours drive to the center of Tana in rush hour, and this was unpractical. (Remember never to trust google maps estimation of distanse and time in the malagacy rush hour traffic!) The driver available is super nice and drives very safe, but the car doesn't have seatbelts and is an old Toyota, so don't expect a fancy ride. So: If your plan is to mostly stay put in a lovely house with a great host, and not go driving into town very often, Mme Faras house is highly recommended!

Fara's place is beautiful and she is very kind and thoughtful. We loved the setting on the hill with the garden and the use of the amazing pool. Fara's hospitality is amazing. She went the extra mile for us -- arranging airport transportation, cooking meals, and doing laundry. Roaming power outage was brief and Fara came quickly with candles and flashlights. Fara is attentive to potential needs but also gave us the space we needed to rest. Definitely recommend and wish we could have stayed here longer.

Mary was great with communication and with helping to work with our timeline. She provided so much support a month prior and leading up to the day of. On top of this, Madame Ando provided support at the Airbnb and other staff on the property even at the store. The property is beautiful, peaceful and safe. They also provided a boat for us to go to Nosy Soa, which is a must! We had everything needed to cook a delicious meal, watch a fun movie, stay warm, read and enjoy music. There is plenty of room for all. I wish we had stayed longer.

Typical and perfect house for a group stay. The young people really enjoyed their experience here and felt comfortable throughout the stay. A beautiful place to fully enjoy Tana in a friendly atmosphere! Thanks also to Annie!

Our stay was unfortunately shorter than planed, as our flight was delayed two days. So we only had one night at Tanias place. We loved the place and the people. Our kids got much needed rest after a few days of travel, and we had to struggle to get them out of bed in the morning.

A perfect stay - Highly recommend! I had an absolutely wonderful experience staying Raffia House! From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by how clean, big and beautifully decorated the home was. The photos didn’t do it justice - every room was even more charming and welcoming in person. The location was perfect for everything I wanted to do during our trip, with amazing restaurants, shops, and parks just a short walk away. I also really appreciated the access to transportation from the house and taxi access a block away from location. I really appreciated the cook, Zoe, who provided us with breakfast every morning of our stay and dinner when we landed. Jessica was an exceptional host. She communicated quickly and made sure we had everything we needed. It’s clear she genuinely cared about her guests comfort and experience. I felt so at home, and I can’t wait to return the next time I’m in town. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway with amazing hospitality this is the place!

Thank you very much for this incredible welcome, thank you to Soa for being responsive and very available. Very quiet, pretty and relaxing house. All the services she offered us were a success. I recommend it 100%.

Staying at Joelle's place has been wonderful! The beautiful apartment and the short walks to the center of town, to restaurants, to museums, and to various shops are perfect for enjoying life in Tana.
