The first time we came to Kho Samui, beside being impressed by the beauty of this tropical island, we had a feeling of relaxation, we simply found ourselves slowing down as time ceased to exist. Thai people, although they were having an hard life, were always smiling and happy, even the stray dogs were not aggressive and were very relaxed. We suddenly realized that in the west we rush too much and decided to chance our life style. We found a plot of land in an area we liked very much because it was very quite but at the same time had all the infrastructures and facilities we needed. We liked the idea of being in a tropical island , on a semi deserted beach, in a hidden away place, but we also liked to feel safe and secure. We have hospitals, shops, everything we need around and that was our ideal place. We liked it so much, that we decided to build our own house, the house of our dream. We love Thai people, we love their culture, their simple way of living and in building our house we wanted it to be Thai style, simple, functionable and in harmony with the environment, with very big open air spaces to lounge down and feel one with nature, with its colour, sounds and scents but also with all the comforts to be completely relaxed. The long white sand beach, fringed with the coconuts trees palms swinging in the cooling oceanic breeze, the clear crystal water, emerald green, make you feel you are in an unreal word, you are in Paradise, in the Eden Garden as describe by the Old Testament. We had had a kind of Heaven on Earth experience and we started to materialize our dream and now it has become true. We live here most of the time but when we go back to Europe we would like to give some one else the opportunity to have this extraordinary experience. We would be very happy to share this peace of Paradise with you. The villa has three entrances. One at the back and two at the front.
