Its a great villa! 15 minute walk to Surin Beach which is very nice. The pool is great, the rooms are very comfortable, and we were pleased with the experience. The location is about 30 minutes from Patong Beach, which is probably a good thing (not impressed, but you probably need to see it once) and a few more minutes to Kata beach which was great. The star of the show is Sa, who serves as the housekeeper, chef (if you want) launderer, tour guide, taxi scheduler and all around wonderful lady! If you rent this villa, be sure to let her help you. Fiona was also wonderful in booking the villa and preparing for our stay.

We had such an amazing time at the Villa. Really, Sa, the housekeeper is what made our trip so fabulous. From helping us book excursions, taxis, and ordering groceries. She also helped us book in Villa massages and made some amazing meals for us while we were there. The pool was awesome and having Sa there made us feel like celebrities. This was my families first international trip, and it was amazing. Please stay here and I promise you will have the best vacation. You won’t get a stay or a Sa at any hotel like you get at the villa.

Lovely villa, offers every amenity you need for your stay. Very clean & well maintained including pool & garden area. Khun Sa made the trip, an absolute ray of sunshine who went above and beyond. The food she made for our party was some of the best we have ever eaten. Hope to return

Dear Fiona and Sa, I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the wonderful stay we had in Phuket, Thailand. Our hostess, Sa, was simply impeccable and made our stay truly unforgettable. Sa's meals were authentic and wholesome, and she catered to our vegetarian guests with ease. She made breakfast, lunch, and dinner when needed, and her cooking was simply delicious. Sa also went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, including washing our clothes, making arrangements for tours and transportation, and even arranging for massages, manicures, and pedicures at the Villa. The property itself was beautiful, with clean pools and first-class rooms and bathrooms. Sa made sure everything was spotless and comfortable for us. She even arranged for Ram who is the tailor to come to the Villa and fit us all for clothes, making our stay that much more special. Overall, our holiday was everything we could have hoped for, and we have Sa to thank for that. Her customer service was outstanding, and it truly felt like we were at home. We have nothing to complain about and would highly recommend this Villa to anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious vacation. Thank you again for everything. Andrea and Michael

My friends and I stayed here for 3 days 2 nights. Having arrived early, we were allowed to check in as soon as we arrived. Airport pick up was also arranged by the owner/housekeeper of the villa. We hired the same driver to take us wherever we needed to go to during our stay. The villa is about 20 mins from Patong but there are restaurants and small shops about a 10 minute walk away. Special thanks to Sa, the villa’s amazing housekeeper who made our stay extra special. She was extremely observant of our tastes and preferences. A phenomenal cook, Sa prepared breakfast for us daily and also cooked a scrumptious dinner one evening that left all of us speechless. It was so delicious. She was always so happy to see us and did everything she could to make our stay extremely comfortable (and always with a huge smile!) The layout of the villa was perfect for our party of 3 and the rooms were nicely decorated. We already miss the villa and Sa and can’t wait to go back!

Lets start with the star of the holiday. Khun Sa is not just a housekeeper she is an all round magician. She made our requests look as easy as if she was just pulling rabbits out of her hat. Whether it be help on how to get special food, beer, cook that seafood feast or even what was the best option on what to do she never let us down. The house itself is a luxury oasis set in a quiet neighbourhood. You are a small walk from the beach and this can seem much longer in the afternoon heat but walk in the early morning or late afternoon and it is quite manageable. All in all our family walked away each with a different favourite memory but all in agreement that it was the best chill out holiday we had ever had.

Where do I start? Fiona, the owner was super responsive and helpful. It was our first time in Thailand and I didn’t know what to expect and she helped with all my questions! The villa was absolutely gorgeous! The rooms were awesome, clean and accommodating. The main house was super nice and stocked with everything we needed. The best part was Khun Sa, the house keeper! She is so helpful, super sweet and made a point to ensure we had the best time. Her cooking was amazing! She make us an authentic Thai dinner for my birthday. She shopped for us and made breakfast for us. Most of the time we didn’t even know she was there, taking care of the villa. She booked our taxis and a few tours and massages (the ladies came to the villa). She gave us the best recommendations for dinner and places to see. We plan to book again!!

We loved the house and easy access to Bang Tao beach, Surin Beach and Boat Avenue restaurants. The house was large and comfortable and has a great pool. But the best part was the house manager Sa - she helped us with so many big and little things to make the trip wonderful.

Best villa I’ve ever stayed in and Sa couldn’t of been anymore welcoming and helpful too all of us. Highly recommend, will definitely be staying again!

We had amazing time in this beautiful country thanks for Fiona and Sa the caretaker. She took care of all our needs during the stay and made it memorable. If you are looking for peace and quote with good beaches around , look no further. Also the home cooked food was better than most restaurants we tried

We had the most amazing holiday thank you Kuhn Sa for everything! A great cook, always smiling and helpful could wish for nothing more. The villa is beautiful in a great position. The support from the owner was much appreciated ( we had a little health hiccup) Hopefully you will see us again😄🙏🏽

It’s a paradise and having Sa look after us Felt like we was royalty :) Great location and close to great beaches and beaches restaurants

The villa was spacious and stylish. The best part was Khun Sa, the villa's caretaker who cooked, cleaned, shopped, navigated, and everything else we asked for. I look forward to staying there again. 5 Stars!

We loved this property so much we didnt want to leave, and want to come back again asap. It, and the housekeeper Sa, are wonderful and it was perfect for us. Ok, a small walk to get to town but really very easy and taxis are readily available. Can't recommend highly enough.

Fantastic setting, amazing host and housekeeper/coordinator. We were totally spoiled and loved khun Ka, she took such good care of us!! The pool is amazing and we enjoyed the little town of surin so much. A+

My family had a wonderful stay at this property - everything was absolutely perfect. As other reviews have stated, the pool and gardens and the lovely Khun Sa were all amazing. But what I probably liked the most was the fabulous location in a relatively quiet part of Phuket, only a few mins walk to the beach. Thanks to Fiona for being such a wonderfully thoughtful host.

We loved the villa and more importantly we loved Sa the helper. She is amazing and incredibly helpful with everything. Spend less eating out and more asking Khan Sa to cook you her local dishes.

We enjoyed our stay in this villa. Villa and gardens are very nice and comfortable. Khun Sa the caretaker was very friendly and helpful. Miss being there already.)) Making plans to return in June. We made very nice memories there and look forward to making more. Thank you Fiona and Khun Sa.))

The Lanterns was everything we hoped for and Khun Sa was the cherry on top. Easy walking access to both Surin and BangTao beach and also to bars restaurants and convenience shops. Rural and quiet location but safe. Dinner/breakfast in the villa was an excellent choice but plenty of choice if you wanted to go out. We would come back time and time again🙏

Not only the location and the interior decoration of the house but also the presence of Khun Sa made our stay a fabulous one. Khun Sa helped us doing small groceries; served late delicious breakfast to please my teenagers; responded quickly to our family needs and ran small errands for us. Even the fruit was cut with care and looked like a treat. The villa is located in a quiet area (no big trucks or loud motors passing by) but still close to Bangtao, Surin and Kamala beach and also restaurants and shopping facilities & fresh market are within a short distance. We rented scooters which made us extra flexible. We will definitely go back.

The villa exceed our expectations. From when we first booked the villa Fiona was very accommodating and maintained communication throughout. Khun SA was magnificent. She could not have done more for us. We hope to return one day for a longer stay.

We had an amazing time at the lanterns villa. The place was just as pictured and Kuhn Sa was the most welcoming. Fiona was very accommodating to our requests. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Really enjoyed our stay as a family at this villa. It's a great property and perfect for a relaxing holiday. All the rooms are spacious and the decoration is very tasteful. The location is also very good, close to beaches and plenty of good restaurants in walking distance. Khun Sa was extremely friendly and very helpful if we needed anything. I can definitely recommend a stay at this beautiful property.

The whole process was great! Beautiful villa! Julia so helpful !! And the maid Sa was a delight x

I can’t say enough great things about the home, owner, and sa the little gal that helps you with everything. The location is super close to beaches, restaurants, and anything else you need. Sa helped us book a private boat for island tours, all our taxis, ideas for excursions, made dinners, breakfast and even did our laundry for small fees. Once you figure out walking paths/ shortcuts it is so easy to walk around. Thank you Fiona and sa for a Fabulous stay. Can’t wait to come back!

Repeat guest - I booked this beautiful villa 2 years ago, when I returned home I had to go again and booked for Jan 2020. I just got home from my 7 day stay, wow, it was just as amazing the first time, if not better. The villa is located in Surin, you can walk to everything - the beach, restaurants, shopping etc. Patong beach 7Miles away. Khun Sa, looks after everything at the villa, she is truly amazing, she cooked for us, arrange a tour, taxi's, what ever you need she is there to assist you. She was so excited to see us when we showed up last Saturday. She comes daily to clean and to check if there is anything she can do for us. We only had three stay this time, but totally worth it, as the villa is spotless, the pool, 3 good size bedrooms. It looks as nice as you see in the pictures if not better. We do look forward to coming back again in the future, I can honestly say you will not be disappointed from the first moment you arrive, you wont want to leave. Thank you for looking after us last week and special thank you to Khun SA. (3 guests from Canada)

It is a lovely villa, Sa was such a great person, very helpful, she organized for us everything we needed. The place is walking distance from the beach. I would definitely go back if we will go back to Phuket. Lior

We loved the villa; it is beautiful. Sa (the house manager) is the heart and soul of this property. She is an amazing person who did everything she could to make our stay wonderful! Also, her cooking is amazing. We will be back!

Sa is amazing

I was hesitant about booking because I typically find myself dissatisfied with how to pictures look vs how the property actually is but this was not the case. Property was amazing and Sa was the most memorable part of the stay. So much so that we are planning to make this an annual visit.

Such an incredible property and Sa is the absolute best part of the whole stay!!! We will surely miss it there.
