The villa is delightful and has everything you need for a great holiday. We were picked up from the airport and delivered there when we left. The villa was serviced several times during our eight day stay. The beach is a short five minute walk away, not too busy and very safe for children,( a bit of a grunt coming back up the hill).
The village of Cheong Mon is only a ten minute walk and has plenty of restaurants.
We didn't hire a car as we weren't confident about driving in the frantic Thai traffic,but taxis are easy to find (at Sala samui resort) and the local buses(songthaews) are everywhere.
We loved the pool and sala, so relaxing and peaceful.
The staff were extremely friendly and couldn't do enough to help.

Having done our research we booked Samui Blu from the photos and previous guest reviews. It certainly lived up to our expectations, villa was beautiful, garden and pool fantastic in an excellent location close to the beach and village. A car was essential for us as we like to explore and made full use of driving around the island (you drive on the left in Thailand so easy if you're from the UK). Yvonne & Paul provided an excellent service, there to answer any questions and guide you as much or as little as you want. Great being transported to/from the airport. We loved Samui, very friendly people, lovely scenery, plenty to do and eating out very inexpensive.
Unfortunately due to construction of an apartment block adjacent to the villa, after 2 days the noise became intolerable and we requested to be moved, luckily another beautiful villa was offered higher up the hill and we enjoyed the rest of our holiday undisturbed. The construction noise was unforeseen by the owners and totally out of their hands, we would have been more than happy to stay if it wasn't for the noise. I understand the apartments should be completed by Christmas.

This villa is very homely and comfortable, well appointed and a pleasure to stay at. We were a group of 6 consisting of my husband and I with our two kids who brought a friend each aged 18 and 20. We had plenty of space and the pool is fantastic. Living area is roomy and well set out. Great kitchen with oven and full size fridge, where we usually made breakfast and snacks. We hired a small people mover car and a couple of scooters for everyone to get around. Can walk to the beach no problem, but a bit of a hill on the way back which in the heat would be stressful if you are a bit fragile. Found plenty of restaurants and bars serving great food in the area. A couple of our group are coeliac and had no problems with gluten free meals at most restaurants. I took a translation card with the gluten free requirements explained in Thai.
Also took some gluten free bread mix and a bread tin to cook it in which was a good move as we could not find gluten free bread anywhere. If you want gluten free snacks make sure you take some with you as I looked in all the supermarkets and could not find even a packet of rice crackers. Yvonne and Paul are fantastic hosts who were most helpful with any minor problems which were attended to promptly and always with a smile. We took a spare unlocked mobile phone and picked up a free sim card on arrival at Samui airport, put a few Baht on it to make calls locally and to home, this is cheaper than using your Aussie phone. Bliss cake shop does gluten free cakes and biscuits ask Yvonne for the address. Overall a fantastic 2 week holiday enjoyed by all, thank you to Ian and Fay (owners) for sharing your amazing villa.
