Our Opinion:This hotel is right out of the early 20th Century. The building itself (and the out buildings) were built in 1904 by a Belgian and the present owners bought and renovated the property. Loving touches and quaint antiquity add character to an already other-worldly establishment. Crystal, and crisp, white linen adorn the tables and a huge log fire (wonderful in the winter months) dominates the large restaurant. The rooms are all suite size with sitting areas, vast bathrooms and each has a CD player for background music.

Definitely the "grand old lady" of Madagascar, Le Domaine is the exclusive place to stay if you are exploring the Mont d'Ambre National Park.

Could incorporate with: Babaomby, Diego Suarez, Charters, Ankarana.
