Very special piece of paradise

Review of Luke's Place
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 1 May 2024via mobile
We had an absolutely wonderful time at Lukes Place. It was so special, waking up in the morning and seeing the sea from my bed is something that I will never forget. Linda, Louie and everyone who worked there were so helpful and really made us feel welcome.
Date of stay: April 2024
Room Tip: Linda offered to pick us up and drop off at the airport which was so helpful.
Trip type: Travelled as a couple

Great comfortable well equipped chalet set in a beautiful tranquil garden with view of the sea.
Linda and Louis the hosts were so helpful: meeting us at the airport, taking us to the supermarket, booking trips (and dropping us off/picking us up), ordering take away food etc.
The staff were all super friendly and helpful.
We had such a relaxing stay - thank you!

What an amazing treasure to find. Having been let down by our original booking in Pomene finding Linda and Luke’s Place was such a blessing. Accommodating our various accommodation needs Linda met our every requirement and went above and beyond. Her staff are welcoming and very knowledgeable and were polite and eager to assist with all our requests. The service received from her staff really made the difference to our stay. We would highly recommend this unique villa for anyone wanting a less commercial get away! Thank you Linda and your amazing staff ☀️

Linda not only collected us from our previous lodgings and delivered us to the airport but also stopped at the shops so that we could buy groceries; she ordered food when required and put us in touch with her fresh fish supplier so we knew that we could trust the quality and price. We were able to indulge our desire to feast on seafood, coconuts from her trees, and relax in her lush private garden. With only two cottages sharing a pool, we had it to ourselves most of the time. The leisure furniture was comfortable - a most necessary asset for a holiday near the sea. Although the kitchen surrounded the bed, it did not intrude or reduce the comfort. The bed linen is both pretty and comfortable, suited to the climate.

Linda's staff were equally friendly and obliging, without expecting a reward. This made for a most relaxing stay. To top it all the daily rate is most affordable!

The wifi connection was weak (a local problem) and there was some noise from passers-by, but that would not put us off from repeat visits every time we travel to Vilanculos.

Room tip: Linda provides daly essentials such as coffee, milk and water so don't stock up on these.

We had a blast in Vilancoulos. The house was just stunning, very clean, next to the ocean. the host Linda is such a wonderful and lovely lady. Someone you really miss when saying goodbye. we would defintely choose for the same house and host next time. That's a no brainer. I don't think our experience could have been better.
