Villa Spilies

The villa was spotless, spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Stella and Michael were genuinely warm and welcoming hosts, and their kindness made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. They had generously stocked the villa with essentials and treats, including wine, milk, bread, ham, butter, and bottled water. They even took us to the supermarket to do our shopping and surprised us with fresh dragon fruit during our stay. These thoughtful gestures were completely unexpected and meant a great deal to us. It was also wonderful to have a local taverna so close by, serving good, honest home-cooked food at very reasonable prices, with inexpensive drinks too. A lovely beach was within walking distance as well. All in all, it was a memorable and thoroughly enjoyable stay, made even more special by Stella and Michael’s generosity and genuine warmth. The local bus service was also a little sporadic, although taxis were readily available and easy to arrange, so getting around wasn’t a major issue.

We had a fantastic stay at this villa. The villa itself was spacious, spotless, and had everything we needed. The air conditioning worked brilliantly, and the beds were incredibly comfortable, making it easy to get a great night’s sleep. What made our stay exceptional were the owners. They were the most helpful and attentive hosts we’ve ever had. Nothing was too much trouble, and they were always available if we needed anything. We would highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a comfortable, spacious place to stay with outstanding hospitality.

The property is around 5-10 minutes drive from shops and the town, but it’s not too much of a problem as taxis are cheap and available 24/7.

Firstly, the villa: The villa is absolutely gorgeous. Comfortable beds, lots wardrobe space, each bedroom has en suite bathroom, AC in each bedroom. Large full kitchen with all the pots and pans and and things you need for cooking and eating. Sitting room area had 2 super comfortable couches and a large smart TV with all the streaming apps ready to go. The whole place is tastefully decorated and has little touches that make it feel like a home and not just a house. Patio & Pool: A large yard out front with lots of space for a car, large sliding gate to access the property, a BBQ pit, a lovely shaded patio complete with comfortable patio furniture. There are lime trees and eggplant plants in the garden along with olive trees, cucumbers, cactus, and mangoes right next to the property, so the surrounding area is nice and green. The pool is perfect for families with children as it has a "zero entry" style which slopes gradually like walking into the sea from the beach - at it's deepest it is 1.4m, perfect to cool off when you are nicely baked from the sun! Location: The villa is right next to Spilies Tavern which is handy for a quick bite to eat or a nice cold beer, and there is even a pool there. Some cars coming and going throughout the day but not too frequently to be a bother. There is very little noise from the tavern, so you won't be disturbed. The location of the property is perfect if you have a car, and 5 minutes away is plenty of shops and restaurants in Coral Bay. The Host: Our host Stella was fantastic from the start. We arrived quite late (near midnight) and she was there to greet us with a smile and gave us the tour and told us everything we needed to know. She had provided plenty of bottled water, and there was bread and milk and tea/coffee and even some fresh eggs from the chickens Stella keeps. Stella is very friendly and welcoming, and she was available at any time if needed.

Notre séjour a été excellent ! La villa est très spacieuse, fonctionnelle et confortable. Stella est une hôte exceptionnelle ! Elle est très rigoureuse, efficace, accueillante, disponible et sympathique. La proximité avec la taverne (qui est ce que nous appelerions en France un bar-restaurant) n'est pas du tout gênante car il n'y a pas de bruit en journée ou tard le soir ; la proximité de la taverne est au contraire un atout qui améliore le séjour : elle est proche sans être mitoyenne et cela permet de pouvoir être facilement et rapidement en contact avec Stella. Cela nous a bien aidés lorsque notre voiture est tombée en panne. Cela permet aussi de pouvoir déjeuner ou dîner à proximité de la cuisine faite maison dans une ambiance chaleureuse si on le souhaite ! Ainsi, nous avons pu notamment y dîner lors de notre arrivée (relativement tardive). Stella nous avait aussi proposé de mettre à notre disposition quelques produits pour notre premier petit déjeuner, ce qui était très appréciable. La piscine est charmante et atypique : comme un lagon, elle descend en pente douce jusqu'à une profondeur d'1,4 m. Fin octobre, sa température était encore agréable. Les fruits exotiques qui poussent aux environs immédiats de la villa ajoute encore au charme des lieux ! Chaque chambre a sa propre salle de bain, avec des toilettes et il y a des toilettes supplémentaires dans la pièce à vivre. Les couchages sont confortables.

Aucun point négatif. Nous avons très envie d'y retourner !
