We had a great stay at Villa Tu’ara! The villa exceeded our expectations—it’s even more beautiful in person. The view was amazing! The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, and we were pleasantly surprised to find tennis racquets and pool noodles available for use. We had such a great time and would absolutely return to this villa in the future.

Perfect location on Moorea, close to activities, dining, shopping. Far from ferry so a car is needed, plus the unit is high on the hillside and you wouldn’t want to have to walk the steep road.Amazing views! Everything you need: full modern kitchen, cards, books, laundry, great shower, pool, gym.We had lots of geckos visiting and a cat would come by each morning.The whole unit opens up for fresh air and views of the mountains and lagoon.

Thank you for your review. I am glad you enjoyed Moorea and my place. The cat is the neighbor’s, he must have liked you because he does not often come around. Geckos are attracted to fruit if it left out of the fridge but they also eat bugs which is a good thing. Have a safe trip home Eleonora

We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Ta’ura. Perched up in the hills a bit from the road we had lovely lagoon and jungle views. No noise from the road below, it’s very quiet and peaceful here.The kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfast and more of you wish. Small issue with an appliance was resolved quickly. The location is perfect for most activities and only a few minutes away from the Coco Beach pickup. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Great place

We really liked staying here. Great view, great location. Place was clean and the host was very accommodating and had an easy check in and check out process.One small thing is that the hot tub is not actually heated, which is a bit weird. However, we spent so much time at the beach that it didn’t change much.

Hello Andy, Thank you for your review. I am glad you enjoyed the house and the island. As for the tub, I specify in the instructions and suggestions I email to guests before their arrival, that it is not heated except by the sun during the day. None of the tubs in any of the houses in the residence are heated. I have discussed the issue with the homeowners association, but to heat them all would be an expense that some owners are not willing to pay. I am looking into the possibility of individual solar heating for my house. I appreciate your bringing my attention to it. Eleonora

The villa is situated in a perfect location close to many attractions, beaches and restaurants. It had everything we needed and was thoroughly peaceful. The only negative was that because it is in a more tropically dense area it was prone to more insects (particularly because it was open to the outdoors). We had quite a few flying cockroaches despite not leaving any food out. Other than that, it was a great stay.
Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 2 Sept, 2025
I am very sorry about the cockroaches and assume they were tiny ones. I personally hate cockroaches. This is a first and very surprising since I have never had a complaint as you can see in the reviews. Thanks for letting me know and I will alert the manager.

About the host

Hosted by Eleonora Manzolini

Host profile image
I am a world traveler, originally from Italy. I like to spend time in beautiful places and share them with like minded people. I have a home in Mill Valley California which is also on VRBO #360560, and a home in Rome, Italy. This little gem in Moorea, a half hour ferry ride from the main island of Tahiti, is my special little retreat in the sun, to get away from the cold of winter.

Why they chose this property

Moorea is one of the more beautiful places I have seen in my travels. The people are laid back and nice, the climate is mild and the ocean is clean. There are few tourists, so it is still very 'real', without being third world because it is French. The restaurants serve great food, and the healthcare is good in case I need it. There are many outdoor activities available, like hiking, biking, surfing, snorkeling and scuba diving, as well as my favorite, Tahitian dancing. The house is within a gated residential area, so it is totally private and safe for a single woman like me. The neighbors are mostly couples and families. The caretaker and his wife are helpful if I need anything and there is a fitness facility which I like to use when it rains. A small shopping center is 5 minutes away and there are a number of good restaurants in the area.

What makes this property unique

The reason I chose this property over others is the security of the gated residence, the site, which is very beautiful and although not directly on the beach, the beach is just down the hill. The hill itself offers great hiking right of out my front door. The villas, designed by a well known French architect, are very tasteful, beautifully landscaped, and have all the modern amenities. My villa has only one neighbor, and is very quiet and private.
