Built in the 19th century as a limekiln, this villa is a portal into Mauritius’ past, showing the importance lime once played in the sugar-making process and how vital its production was to the island’s economy. Situated on four lush acres, this historical villa, renovated in the late 1990s, offers colorful views over the turquoise sea not far from Îlot Bernache. An inspired peace can be had here, as well as the perfect dinner party among 200-year-old banyan trees.
