We selected this villa for a 6-nt stay away from the big tourist hotels. After navigating the steep winding entry road, the view was amazing. Overall the place was spacious and attractive but more worn than depicted in the photos, which attests to it’s steady use. We found that the villa was appointed with comfy furniture and major appliances but lacked small kitchen conveniences such as a toaster, better cooking utensils, sharp knives, more wine glasses, etc. The decor could use a refresh to replace the mismatched towels, dark brown bedding, temp sofa cover and stacks of +5yr old magazines and travel guides. The host Anais was very friendly and helpful and promptly handled maintenance issues during our stay. The wi-fi was reliably good and is needed to stream alternate programs to the French language tv channels. The a/c was only in the bedrooms due to the open-air roof eaves of the wood ceilings, but worked well for restful sleep. Typical of tropical homes, there will be geckos and insects indoors, a colorful aspect of local living. The villa location is a short distance to some great restaurants (Le Lezard Jaune, Snack Mahana, Coco Beach dock pickup) so you’ll need a car to get around. If you’re a seasoned traveler, this villa is a relaxed self-catering option for stays longer than 3-4 days on Moorea, but it may not meet the expectations of those looking for hotel luxury.
