Description
Between three small rural villages, Gecko Villa nestles with its private swimming pool amongst the paddy fields, in Thailand's Isaan plateau. This stand alone, 3 bedroom getaway is exclusively yours during your stay, and is fully catered and serviced. It enjoys a privileged position upon its own grounds, comprising 20 hectares of gardens, orchards, woodlands, pastures and rice paddies. During your next holiday, why not rent Gecko Villa, make it your own house and enjoy the unique experience we offer, rather than restricting yourself to a hotel?
Whilst the Northeast of Thailand is the Kingdom's poorest area, it is reputed for its friendly and good-natured people, who are always ready to welcome those who make the effort to discover their home. Here, in the rural heartlands of Thailand (yet easily accessible by road, rail or air), relax amongst the emerald paddy fields, and savour the forgotten rhythms of country life. We take every measure to ensure that your stay is a memorable one. We offer you a rare opportunity to escape from the banality of impersonal hotel rooms, and to immerse yourself in this unspoiled & undiscovered region of Thailand. Choose tranquility and complete privacy, making this unique spacious Villa your own. Or allow us to show you the area, cook Thai food for you and introduce you to the ways of life here. Enjoy the luxury of your secluded retreat: an experience unique in the Kingdom!
A tranquil retreatPrivacy is assured at your own Villa in the midst of the rice paddies! Just relax at this rural retreat, or adventure into the traditions of the surrounding villages.
The Thai house & gardensGecko Villa is set in over 60,000sqm of private grounds, with a walled garden, fish ponds, and orchards where we grow a large variety of mango, banana, passion fruit and other plants including chilies, papaya, galangal, Thai basil, lemongrass, herbs and more...
The house itself consists of several separate buildings set around a private garden and linked by wooden verandahs and decks. These also lead to the private swimming pool that is set into the deck at the same level. The house has a large air-conditioned Master Bedroom with a teak, King sized bed, en suite W.C. & sink, and adjoining garden shower. Its private verandah also boasts a hammock in which to laze under the fragrant frangipani flowers. The second air-conditioned & King-bedded bedroom enjoys views over the garden and swimming pool towards the rice fields, and has an en suite W.C. and shower. A third, fan-cooled king bedroom shares this bathroom with the second bedroom.
Relaxation at the villaThe large air-conditioned living & dining room offers satellite TV (BBC, CNN, TV5 etc.), a DVD/CD player and sound system, and a selection of DVD films and books. Water hyacinth sofas and armchairs with comfortable cushions, as well as cotton futons, offer plenty of space to relax in comfort, whilst the large indoor dining table is just the place to enjoy indoor meals and conversations. Further extensive wooden decks and outdoor hardwood tables, chairs and benches also permit guests to enjoy outdoor meals, or to relax with a drink al fresco.
