Stayed for a total of 4 nights at the end of our stay in Thailand. Pen Villa has a feeling of old colonial charm. The spacious bedrooms are lovely and comfortable and the hosting of Peter and Winnie are friendly and helpful but not intrusive. Whilst we were there a number of the other guests were on return visits visits as they too enjoyed the laid back feel allowing total relaxation. The beautiful deep pool was just wonderful and warm. Only one wish would be for a bedside table on both sides of the bed and perhaps some drawers for storage.
Surin Beach is just a short walk down the road and is a lovely beach and the best we saw in Phuket. Overall would definitely return if we are back in Phuket.

Countrysisterstwo ventured out of Australia and had the best time at Pen Villa. It came highly recommended by friends and it lived up to our expectations in all ways. Winnie and Peter are the ultimate hosts - nothing is too much trouble! Taxis procured at very reasonable prices, tours arranged, excellent tips for eating, shopping, massages and markets were given, Peter makes the best coffee and cocktails and Winnie's food is sublime - the very best Thai restaurant in Australia goes nowhere near the quality and tastes we had on a number of nights during our stay. We went with Winnie to the markets and what an eye opener - to see how she selected our seafood and vegetables for our meal was brilliant. To our untrained eyes some fish looked good but it didn't measure up in Winnie's eyes. And thank goodness Peter had some great coffee beans for my morning and afternoon cup! Overall we had a brilliant time. The rooms are simple, exceptionally clean and very comfortable with very welcome air conditioning. This is a quiet, serene place with a lovely pool and cared for gardens. Seriously consider this place for a Phuket base.
