My teen son and I stayed with Tom and Elfi for 3 weeks and I cannot speak more highly of our experience. We had been traveling for 4 months before we came to this wonderful B&B and it was like an oasis for the body and soul. Tom and Elfi were incredibly kind hosts. From the fabulous welcome drink and delicious breakfasts, to showing us wonderful spots around the island and even taking me to hospital when I was unwell, it felt like staying with family. The house is situated in a forest estate with a wonderful swimming pool, just across the road from the beach. Our bedroom/living area and en-suite were very elegantly decorated and spacious with air conditioning, large enough for us to hang out in very comfortably. We also had full use of a lovely upstairs terrace with table and chairs and two loungers, plus our own fridge with complimentary fresh water, tea and coffee. Our wonderful breakfast (with awesome espresso - they are coffee aficionados!) was in a beautiful living area overlooking the trees. We loved spotting the squirrels while we were eating! Elfi is also a great cook so we enjoyed some delicious home-cooked meals with them as well. We came to Koh Samui without firm plans so Tom and Elfi were incredibly helpful, suggesting attractions, transport options and restaurants. Two local restaurants within short walking distance that we loved were Aromi Diversi (fantastic Italian) and Baita (really good Thai), both overlooking the beach and spectacular sunset on this side of the island. A family mart was nearby and it was a short inexpensive Songtheaw trip (or walk when we we felt energetic) to Nathong for the ferry, night food market, shops, restaurants and supermarket. When we visited the tourist spots of Koh Samui there was nothing better than to get back to the quiet, shady relaxation of this wonderful house and swimming pool in the forest, and the kindest hosts we could ever ask for. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We also loved their fabulous dogs! We were very sad to leave but have already made plans to return to this absolutely gorgeous home away from home. Thank you so much, Tom and Elfi.
