Villa Camille

Virbo's description of the location was wrong. The property is 10 minutes plus in a vehicle to the beach up in the hills. A vehicle is definitely needed during your stay.Despite this the villa and host were excellent.

A lovely stay by a gorgeous beach

A lovely room with private bathroom and an attached little kitchenette with enough utensils to use should you want to cook a little or warm up some food (one electric hob, microwave, large fridge). The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The room has a nice private terrace also. All the staff that we liaised with were very friendly and helpful providing a prompt service. This little resort is steps away from a beautiful beach and a handful of restaurants are within walking distance. A local convenience store selling some fresh fruit and vegetables and a 24hr 7/11 are conveniently located within a 15mins walk. A car or scooter is advised should you wish to venture out further as this bay/area is somewhat secluded, but that's what we liked about this area.

Koh Samui - Perfect stay

We chose this property based on the previous 5 star reviews, and we are so happy we did. The property is fantastic, the views are incredible, the position on the Island is perfect. Jean Luc is an incredible host, who went above and beyond to make our stay so special. He organised airport transfers, car hire and even booked us Thai masseurs to come to the property. He suggested places to eat and visit, and answered our - many - requests so quickly. We cannot recommend this property enough. Thank you Jean Luc.

Amazing villa and place to stay

Stayed for 2 weeks in April 2024 and had a totally amazing time. The villa is so lovely and the pool just amazing leading onto a lovely secluded beach where we all snorkelled. Kob the house keeper was lovely, really friendly yet unobtrusive and cooked us breakfast every day. We also asked her to cook for us 2 evenings and a traditional Thai breakfast and the food was absolutely amazing! David the villa manager was super helpful with recommendations of where to eat, all of which were fantastic. David also arranged a trip for us to the Elephant sanctuary where we fed the elephants plus a private catamaran trip for snorkelling, a stop on pig island and the sunset which was so special. Honestly this was one of our best holidays ever and thank you to David and Kob for all their help and recommendations - Can’t recommend this highly enough! Pauline

Amazing stay at Anushka Villa

From the day we booked to the time we we’re leaving to return home the staff have been amazing! Anushka Villa is a stunning place to stay. All the rooms are beautiful with amazing views! The games room kept the kids entertained in the evenings. The pool side was gorgeous with breathtaking views! Every morning Haymar and her team cooked a delicious breakfast. Haymar was fantastic, helped us order food in anytime we needed as the villa is based on a steep hill so walking was hard in the heat. Haymar and her team arranged a floating breakfast one morning which was wonderful. They gave us contact details of the local taxi firm who were also fantastic! Overall we highly recommend Anushka Villa. It’s been one of our best holidays! Thank you so much.

Such a lovely spot. Excellent house keeper and the most beautiful sunset

David made sure the check-in was excellent. The housekeeper is superb and it was such a treat (for me especially) to have her around. This is in a secluded and private ‘estate’, 6 of which are right on the beach. The view is perfect. The living area is great. Lots of amenities in the kitchen. The bedrooms are spacious and the pool is lovely. Some parts of the wooden decking are in need of a bit of attention but the price reflects that, and it didn’t spoil our holiday at all. We didn’t have transport but taxis can be arranged very easily and there are some lovely restaurants a short walk away as well as The Mud which is almost next door. Overall a wonderful holiday. I would highly recommend.
