The property is a design delight - really stunning but it is a little tired and could do with a slight bit of refreshing. The people working there were amazing and could not do enough to ensure the property was clean, you had everything you needed and provided fabulous food. The pool is amazing - really good size.
Some of the fixtures and fittings need replacing - taps, the outdoor furniture covers, lights but it is all minor in the scheme of things. I wish there were more two sun beds and they had lounger pads on.

La piscine et le jardin sont très jolies. Il y a eu en plus un passage de singes qui a rajouté de l’exotisme à ce séjour.
Nous étions un groupe avec 4 enfants, nous avions donc souhaité prendre les dîners sur place, afin de faciliter la logistique mais cela ne fut pas du tout a la hauteur du lieu.

A great place to chill with family and friends. The beds are comfortable, the facilities are tidy and clean, and the staff is friendly and knows what to do and how to treat guests well. I would especially like to mention a good set of dishes for serving the table.
All floor lamps and some ceiling lamps in the living room do not work, so the lighting is dim and uncomfortable.

What a fantastic place! Everything looked like in the pictures. We had a remarkable time just hanging out at the pole and enjoying the food that Dilhan and his team where preparing.
The space was spotlessly clean and the design of the place is very tasteful. We slept very well in our comfortable beds.

We were a group of 8 people staying for just one night. The villa and its surroundings are just beautiful, you feel like in a movie. The pool is clean and big, and the rooms are very comfortable and roomy. The staff was pleasant and very helpful, and the breakfast was just amazing. Even if it is not directly on the beach, it ia just a 5 min tuktuk drive to it. After staying one night we wanted to atay for one more, but unfortunately for us it was booked.

Food is awesome ! Service is great especially Dilhan. The place makes you feel relaxed.
As a couple, it was not convenient as we had no privacy because of the staff staying next to the house and very often passing by. Shampoo missing and no shower gel. It's a nice place but not worth the price.

Nice concept, probably a great value for bigger groups. Friendly staff and good breakfast.
We expected to stay at a private villa and what we found was more of a hostel style place. Most of the rooms are only accessible from the outside and facing the staff living spaces which makes it much less private. The pool was very cloudy and not welcoming despite someone seeming to be maintaining it all morning... Would not recommend it for couples or smaller groups of people, it's rather expensive and not fully worth it.
P.S. The card machine was not working (seemed like it's been broken for a long time) and we were not informed in advance which is quite inconvenient considering the amount of cash needed to pay for the stay.

The location and the ambience was really nice. The fact that it was limited to our family gave us the chance to enjoy with privacy.

Loved the scandinavian style. Loved the architecture. Aplause to the architect! Staff was very lovely and helpful. Beautiful garden and great pool.
Missing little towels from bathroom where to clean face and hands. Only big ones.
