“Absolutely sensational” We were two couples in our 60's wanting a great self contained villa,with great views, close to amenities, but not in amongst the crowds. Villa dei Fiori, surpassed all of our expectations. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, two reception rooms, a great kitchen, a balcony and an outdoor area 'to die for'. Luca and Mary, were gracious hosts, generous with the food and drink, which we did not expect, for your arrival. We liked the property, because it felt like a home. The location and views were perfect for what we wanted.

“1 week of relaxation in paradise” I stayed in Mountain Breeze Villa during a week in December with my mother, my brother and his family. Great place to spend time with your family in a cozy but at the same time luxury villa situated in a magical landscape. The scenery around the villa offers you a big variety- beautiful mountians, close to natural beaches and just a short ride from the amazing marine national park Khao Sam Roi Yot. The villa it self makes you feel like home with a well equipped kitchen, two big bed rooms,a luxury bathroom and even an outdoor pool and shower to enjoy the evening with a glass of wine veiwing the mountians. Service like supermarket, pharmacy, bars and resutaurants are nearby. I could highly recommend to stay in Mountain Breeze villa if you want to explore Thailand at its best.

“Beautiful, friendly, comfy & relaxing with delicious breakfast!” Lovely to stay at such a peaceful B&B; with wonderfully friendly host and hostess, who even welcome our pets when need be! The clean, quaint suites provide luxurious, relaxing accommodation, while the beautiful garden and surrounding lake area is a constant source of tranquility, bird calls and perfect peace. One just doesn't want to leave...

“Stunning apartment and perfect host.” Extremely clean and beautifully appointed flat was perfectly situated to see the sights and visit the markets of Florence. The kitchen has every amenity and all appliances are new and top of the line. No need to scrub the pots before you cook here. The supermarket on the street and the market just around the corner provided us with the fresh ingredients for the best meals. There is even a toaster and a drip coffee maker if you prefer a non-Italian breakfast. Good restaurants and coffee shops in the area. The map and directions provided by our host got us on the right track quickly to see the sights. The neighbourhood is safe for an evening walk for a gelati or espresso. The bed was extremely comfortable with extra linens and towels provided. The heat in the flat was adjustable so that the rooms were always the right temperature. The best flat we have ever stayed in when on vacation.

“Superbly appointed, like staying with old friends” Everything you could possibly think of is provided. Very generous, clean, warm and the most wonderful king size bed. Would go back in a heartbeat Many thanks

“Relaxing stay in Sydney” The apartment was clean and well equipped with all kitchen utensils, bath towels, sheets etc. what I needed in every day life during my stay. There were some problems with cable tv, but it was fixed right after I mentioned it. Bathroom was a little bit old, but everything was working anyway. I really enjoyed the heated pool on the roof, it brought some luxus to my stay. The location was perfect (Manly beach and access to ferries to the city really near)and it was easy to use both buses and ferries. The owner gave good advices for sightseeing and there were many travel guides, ferry timetables etc. in the apartment. It was very helpful. I really enjoyed my stay and absolutely recommend the place!

“Excellent house in beautiful surrounding” The house is well equiped, very clean and is located in a beautiful surrounding. The view from the terrace to the mountains is excellent. Because the house is lonesome it is very quiet and in the evening some animals are visiting the garden (fox, cat, gecko, ...). The hirer are very nice and cooperative. You are getting some very helpful tips about the island which you won't find in a travel guide. The property is really huge and with hammock and a rock to climb a paradise for children, too. Above the rock the view is even more fantastic. I would come back at any time.

“Awesome !!!” This has to be one of the best apartments in Sydney, The view is amazing, the location excellent, the premium quality of the apartment and little extras provided made our stay truly 5 star. The Sydney skyline views from the apartment are truly breathtaking, we also managed to watch the amazing fireworks from the balcony on the Saturday night. The location is central to everything. Darling harbour is a lovely place to hang out, explore, and has plenty to do, its within walking distance of the City Centre, Harbour Bridge & opera house, and with many lovely restaurants on the doorstep its the perfect place to stay. Would love to return if we get to visit Sydney again.

“Excellent Villa and Amazing Staff” We spent a week over New Years and what a fantastic experience! The Villa is close to all amenities (shops, beach, restaurants etc) so you are spoilt for choice for quick lunches / dinners or bar hopping. The rooms are spacious, the house is equipped with DVD's & books and the staff are super friendly and extremely helpful! Breakfasts were out of this world and dinners amazing! Thank-you an amazing holiday!

“Living in a cloud” How can I express the wonderful feeling I had when I arrived to the home. We were received by Maria who has a heart of gold. She delivered and gave beyond what she had. We sat perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking the island and Fira dripping from the edge in white. As Maria went through all the best the island had to offer. The home was clean and beautifully decorated. It was a home that made you feel not only on vacation but also embodied the culture and style of Greece. You felt loved and at peace. You can be in that home to relax but in my case, I was surprising my parents with renewal of their vows so I was in close contact with Maria. I honestly did not expect the help she offered, and it was a lot. Making several calls and running around helping us with the details of a wedding. The catering, the flowers, the space. It was a full job for her. She seemed to do it all. Every morning our space was clean and we had fresh towels. If there was a request she was a phone call away. We had hotel amenities. Which is rare for a home rental to have. Over all - A spectacular home, amazing Service, Memorable time. We would go back again and can't wait to see Maria, this time to spend time with-- We highly recommend you go visit the black beach. If you have a concern ask Maria she is a wealth of knowledge. Do rent a car its easy to park and cheap to rent if you plan to check out the j

“Spacious luxury in one of Cape Town's hidden gems” The atlantic Dream beach villa is perfect for a relaxing weekend/holiday not too far from Cape Town within a short walking distance from one of the coastline's prettiest beaches. The house caters for many activities such as pool, table tennis, darts, board games, swimming pool, sun tanning, braai/bbq and satellite TV so no matter what the weather or the mood, there will always be something to do. The rooms and bathrooms are very clean and neat while the kitchen is spacious and well equipped.The garden and pool area is very sheltered from the South Easter and the design of the house is a perfect combination of luxury and beach-house feel. The only (minor) drawbacks are that, firstly, the wooden floors mean that those sleeping downstairs can clearly hear the upstairs people walking around and, secondly, the hedge across the road which blocks some of the sea view. None of these, however, will deter me from coming back. I would strongly recommend booking this house, and I will certainly do so again.

“third time at this villa in paradise” we recently stayed at the wonderful Shalini Villa for the third time in three years…we don't even think of staying anywhere else…only one small problem…it is so nice we hardly want to leave the pool and gardens all day and it breaks our hearts every time we ave to leave..could not recommend it more highly for style, comfort, food, service…..nothing is ever too much of a problem for the staff who are so attentive and kind

“A perfect family getaway : Emerald Trail” We went to Emerald Trail, Jungalaigaon in June this year. It was one of the loveliest holidays for our entire family including our golden retriever, Zo :). Emerald Trail is probably one of the few places in India where pets are welcome at par with the humans! Emerald Trail is a perfect destination for those looking to get away from the urban madness – the tranquil environment is what we looked for and it fit the bill completely! Long walks, pleasant weather, unhurried and relaxed time was the hallmark of our trip. It was truly a home away from home with home-style food, simple, comfortable and clean rooms, cups of tea and snack when you ask. It was wonderful to see the earnestness amongst the staff (Lalit, Kailash and others) to make our stay pleasant and nice. Among the inhabitants of Emerald Trail, Rusi, the dog was our favourite. She was entertaining and pure fun. Our young daughter and Zo got along with Rusi like house on fire! It was a joy to see them roll, play and have endless amounts of fun. The cow, Bachchri, the hens and the fishes added to the farm touch – we personally love these and long to be in such surroundings. The word Homestay in Emerald Trail is perfect because for us it felt we were at home amidst the hills in some fabulous weather and were totally chilled out!! Sumith – you have done an fabulous job and we look forward to going back to Emerald Trail soon!

“Fabulous would recommend” Lovely clean cottage centrally based for all outings and good take aways near by. Very warm welcome , everything you need when you stay away.

“Great Experience” We are a family of four but for this holiday my wife's mother joined us. We were lucky to find Villa Bukit, it was ideal for three adults and two children. The children slept in the room with two single beds, we had the main bedroom with the king sized bed and grandma slept in the day bed in the living room. We were offered use of the Joglo but she was happy with the day bed. The villa is spacious with plenty of places to chill out so you never feel like you are living on top of each other. The gardens are beautiful and a stark contrast to the dry surroundings. The staff are excellent and discreet and cater to special requests. It was grandma's 81st birthday and they put on a beautiful meal and decorated the patio area, it was a great evening. It is around a 900 metre walk to the beach, 800 metres to the main road with shops. My wife and grandma were happy to walk it but I hired a motorbike to transport the children back and forwards. One word of advice, if you hire a motorbike, take the in house mobile phone with you. We were very unlucky to have flat tyres on three separate occasions, one time out at the national park. A call to our house attendant had pickup for us within 45 minutes, how is that for service! All up it is an excellent villa in a peaceful area of Bali and we thoroughly recommend it to anyone, particularly a family with children.
