"The Perfect Holiday"

If you are looking for the 'perfect' holiday...excellent value...plenty of activities...incredible views...extra-ordinary service...family friendly environment...you cannot go wrong staying with Krabi Villas. Mark and Nang are just the best! From organising activities such as snorkeling to elephant trekking to sea kayaking to restaurant booking to a personal chef in your villa, they were always just a phone call away. I cannot recommend any place I have ever stayed either personally or as a family more than Mountain View. The memories for my family and I will undoubtably last a lifetime!

They were incredible to work with organising outings, making certain everything at the villa was perfect, etc, etc, etc. If you want an incredible holiday that will provide life-time memories, you cannot go wrong in booking with Krabi Villas! Thank you, once again, Mark and Nang!"

Lovely villa in an excellent position with all the facilities you could wish for.

Mark and Nang were extremely helpful and friendly.Nothing was too much trouble and it was VERY useful having their multi-lingual abilities.

The Pictures on the website definitely does not do justice to the actual place. When we arrived at the Mountain View Villa, it was more than we had expected it to be. We immediately felt at home, especially so, with the great hospitality of Mark and his wife Nang - awaiting our arrival to welcome us.

The villa is smacked in the middle of nature. If you need to get away from the hustles & bustles of the city life, this is a perfect place. A perfect place for a great holiday with the family or friends. It takes about 20 mins drive to Ao Nang from the Mountain View Villa, which you can call for a driver anytime you want to get to town.

Transportatino provided was efficient and very comfortable. this place is definitely much better than staying in a hotel. The whole place to yourself with a private pool at a very reasonable price. We highly recommend this place.

Review for: Mountain View Exclusive Villa (56478)

"Our expectations were not only met, but exceeded them definitely. The villa is some kilometres from crowded Ao Nang, near Klong Muang Beach, where you still can find some places not overcrowded. The environment of the villa was perfect, the service provided by the owners too. We hired two motorbikes and were independent of taxis or tuktuk service. Nearby the property the owners recommended a restaurant called Bang Por which more than met our needs at good prices. The villa itself is spacious, perfectly cleaned every day and the garden and the pool are more than impressive- they surpass the pictures on this website! We were two couples and there is enough space indoors and outdoors to be on your own. We will definitely come back. If you are an elephant lover, there are two different camps nearby we visited every day or even twice a day. Thanks to the owners for building such a beautiful holiday home at an affordable price!"

Review for: Mountain View Exclusive Villa (56478)

"Wonderful, the villa, gardens and pool were superb, many hours were spent soaking up the sun and beautiful surroundings and yes we did see elephants passing the villa. Mark, Nang and team were excellent in making our holiday so enjoyable and they were only a phonecall away if needed. The villa was in a great location, peaceful but not too far away from the tourist areas of Ao Nang, Klong Muang and Krabi etc. Was our holiday:- Good value for money?, most definately. Did it meet our expectation?, yes and more. Would we recommend to a friend?, absolutely."

"Christmas in Paradise 2009"

Mountain View villa was the perfect location for our Christmas family reunion in Thailand. The villa is set in a very quiet and secluded area of Krabi. The scenery and views surronding the villa are stunning. If you are up early enough in the morning you can see the elephants passing by! During our stay Mark and Nang couldn't do enough for us. They gave us all the information and help we needed with trips, eating out, transport etc. Nothing was too much trouble. The beach and other amenities were not too far away, it took us about 15 minutes in the tuc tuc to get to Ay Nang. We as a family loved spending time in the villa and with such a fantastic pool were quite happy to spend our days there. We had a wonderful holiday and would like to thank Mark and Nang for all their kindness shown to us and making our stay so special. We are looking to come back again very soon.

Hi Mark and Nang,

Thank you so much for the complimentary taxi to the airport we didn't expect it but much appreciated. We had a fantastic holiday and all loved the villa. You were both very good to us and made our stay very special. Hopefully we will be back again soon.

Wishing you both a Happy New Year and thanks again for all your kindness.

Review for: Mountain View Exclusive Villa

"This villa was just what my family and I were hoping to find. It is away from town a bit in a quiet, natural area surrounded by rubber plantations, so there was a feeling of seclusion that can be hard to find in Thailands more popular beach areas. Even though we had opted to be away from town a bit, Mark and his staff did an excellent job to make sue that we could parktake in all of the areas attractions with no hassle: arranging tours on short notice, getting us cabs, helping us get groceries, providing bicycles, and even providing a ride from time to time if everything allowed. The property is stunning to be sure (as can be seen from the pictures), but the friendly, attentive service we received from Krabi Villas is what helped to make our experience what it was. If you want privacy and seclusion, but also no fuss access to the things that make Krabi unique, this is the way to do it. Highly recommended."

We had a wonderful, relaxing weekend. And we hope that it won't be a year before we come back. Our friends want to plan another trip in Jan/Feb for 3 days perhaps. We'll see...

Thank you and your wife again for your kind hospitality!

Ok, back to work for me.

Best regards,

Hi Mark,

Thank you for an excellent trip! My family and I loved our time on your beautiful property, and your staff really made a lot of our memories possible by making booking excursions so easy. I will definitely send in a review and be in touch the next time we will be back down South. In the meantime, I hope that the beginning of the high season is going well and best wishes from Mae Sot

Regards,

Rob

"Absolutely amazing, Mountain view villa was just perfect, so peaceful and private, when we arrived the whole place just blew us away, much better than on the website, the villa was beautiful and the location could not be better. The service was 1st class, they have their own private villa care company who takes care of the villa and also helping us with any of our requests, very helpful but also very discreet giving us plenty of privacy so we could relax in our own pool and tropical garden. The only bad thing was having to leave, but not for long as we are most definitely returning, Many thanks to Mark and his staff for letting us experience and enjoy Mountain view villa.

Eighteen months ago we came to live in Vietnam to start a new life, to teach English, and to see a bit of the world. In April this year we discovered this beautiful villa in Thailand and spent a magical, peaceful, private six days in pure luxury. It immediately became our favourite get away retreat and we hope to return many times in the future.

It really is a place of peace and tranquillity. The moment we stepped foot through the gates we forgot about work, worries and stress! All that's here is an absolutely beautiful villa with fantastic landscaped gardens, a huge fish pond which surrounds a raised sitting area, and a crystal clear wonderful pool. It is all surrounded by jungle, rubber plantations and mountains, and the only noise you hear is the singing of birds and monkeys. To open the sliding doors in the morning and to see the view is just pure heaven. We spent our days relaxing in the spotlessly clean pool, listening to the twittering of birds that inhabit the area, watching the butterflies and lizards, or just laying on a sun bed in our huge private garden and waiting to see the elephants from the nearby trekking area walk past the garden gate. It sounds idyllic - and it is.

At night we occasionally ventured into nearby Ao Nang for a meal, but more often than not we preferred to stay 'at home' with a barbecue. We thank our lucky stars that we discovered this little bit of paradise.

What makes it so very special are the owners Mark and Nang. There is nothing that they will not do to make sure that your visit is memorable. They even gave us a phone so that we could contact them quickly if we had any problems. The only problem we had was tearing ourselves away from this little bit of heaven.

If you like large fancy hotels, hustle and bustle, noise, and nightlife with exciting bars and clubs - please, don't come here because it's not for you! However, if you want to experience luxurious accommodation amid peaceful and beautiful surroundings then you won't find a better place than this.

Hello Mark,

Here is the review:

We are a family of 2 adults and 2 children (7 years old and 3 years

old), we live in United States of America. When we first saw the

villa, we couldnât believe that we could ever afford to live in such a

luxury place. Pictures donât do justice. It is magnificent. You are

located close to everything, yet totally secluded. It is at the end of

dead end road, very very private surrounded by nature, mountains with

beautiful peaks, nobody around. The swimming pool is just gorgeous,

the water is super clean comes from mountains, no chlorine to smell or

dry out your skin. We spent most of the time in the pool, just

enjoying the surroundings, didnât want to leave the villa to go

anywhere else. My 3-year old learned to swim without floaties there.

When you swim at night and look at the stars with palms all around, it

is the memory that stays with you forever.

And when you wake up to the waterfall sound next to your bedroom and

all the beautiful flowers blooming and mountains all around, it is

indescribable. We spent almost a month there in March of 2009. Close

by there is an elephant trekking, so they came to shower the elephants

almost every day right next to the gates, which was very exotic and my

kids loved it.

Mark and Nang were great, helped us a lot with information and tips of

what to do, where to eat, do great massage, and fixed minor things in

the house right away. All of our friends who saw the villa online envy

us, and we recommended it to all of them. Krabi is a gorgeous place to

visit, and if you stay in this villa, you wonât be disappointed. If

you have any additional questions, you can contact me at

jane.orlov@gmail.com

Thank you very much again for everything,

We stayed at Mountain View Villa in December 2008 and had a wonderful experience. The villa is perfectly situated at the boundary of â¦â¦â¦â¦.National Park and about 10 minutes drive from the main beach areas. This was perfect for us as we could spend most of the morning and early afternoon on the shore or on boat trips to the local islands, and then return to the beautiful surroundings of the villa and the cool comfort of our own swimming pool.

The villa itself is tastefully designed to express the calm and peace of the natural environment that surrounds it. In the mornings we took breakfast on the gorgeous patio area and let the kids swim in the pool. In the evenings we prepared for a trip to the restaurants in town, but first with some drinks in the villas' own gazebo area. At this time we were often fortunate to witness the elephants from the National Park ,return to rest, after a day of trekking.

The villa has all the latest mod cons with a widescreen TV, satellite programming and internet access. However, we felt little need for these items and spent most of our time in the evenings relaxing to the sounds of nocturnal wildlife coming alive. And, believe me, it does come alive.

It was also nice to make use of the bicycles provided, and my father and I took a few trips either down to the beach or up into the tracks of the National Park.

We were a party of four adults and two small children and the villa accommodated us without any problem. The outdoor area around the villa, with its plentiful seating, is big enough that you can find your own private space for reading or simply relaxing.

Finally, Mark and his wife were extremely helpful without being intrusive. If we had any queries, they were only a phone call away. Mountain View Villa is a more expensive option than we would normally choose but it was one of the most impressive places I have ever stayed and I hope to return with my family in the future.

Will not forget to do it Mark - your a charming lad after all :)

Good for you for keeping the property and running with it - we absolutely loved it. My sister has finally joined us in Chiang Mai with her friend. Would have loved to show her your place - we will have to do it next time - she is a pilot so getting over here is cheap and easy...

Will hammer you again next time for the discount :)

This Dutchman loves a deal...

Fantastic meeting you and Nang - we will recommend your place to anyone who will listen - we will tell them to say 'Rich from Canada sent us'....hopefully we can share your oasis with others.

Cheers,

âWe visited the Mountain View villa in Krabi for our 3rd wedding anniversary. After seeing the pictures on the web, we were not prepared for how absolutely breathtaking the environment was! The house was wonderful, with a huge garden, big pool (no plunge pool here!) and full kitchen with all of the amenities (including a fantastic coffee that even my picky Roman husband liked). The location is perfect with nothing but the sound of crickets, birds and nature to disturb. And the view of the mountains is lovely at all times of day! Our favourite day was rainy and cool, but we got cosy on the comfy chairs, watched an old movie (they have satellite TV and a DVD player!) and listened to the sound of the rain on the surface of the pool. We will remember our visit fondly and are already planning a return, perhaps with friends. It is the perfect location for a short break or even a long holiday.â
