We stayed at The Place for 3 nights in late November and loved our experience. The villa was beautifully decorated and equipped perfectly (it had everything you could think of, whilst also having eco-conscious touches). The view was great (facing the sea & sunset) and the whole outdoor area with the pool was ideal for lounging on, come rain or shine. The TV was all set up with Netflix too - perfect touch. Guy - the owner - greeted us and helpfully showed us the villa as well as giving tips on exploring Koh Tao. He was super responsive on Whatsapp if we needed anything, and kindly arranged for us to be dropped at the pier at the end of our stay which helped a lot! Tet was also lovely and helpful - thank you! Just a disclaimer to say that if you want somewhere super central, then this may not be the place for you (I’d recommend looking closer to Sairee Beach) but if you want somewhere quiet and peaceful, but within a 10-15 min walk into Sairee beach, this is such a perfect place to stay. We walked in every early evening to watch the sunset on the beach, and then Whatsapped a local taxi company to drive us back for 200 baht. Easy. I believe The Place also hires scooters out too so you can get around easily. On the food front, the villa has a great little kitchenette and Guy has also thought to include menus so you can order in takeaway. The French Parlour did lovely takeaway breakfasts!
