We had a great time at Villa Laia — left happy! Though a couple of things would've made it perfect. No microwave or TV — I get the vibe they're going for, but sometimes you just want to chill. The bathrooms are outside the rooms (rough when it's hot), there's no pool shower, and the sea view isn't quite what the photos show since some new buildings partially block it. Not the owners' fault, but it does set different expectations. Also, finding the place was a bit tricky, and some areas could use a little upkeep. One important note: if you're bringing pets, the property isn't fully enclosed. Still, it's a beautiful place — the kitchen, the living area, the rooms, and the beds are all great. Solid 4/5. Communication with Mauro was super friendly and smooth.

We stayed at Villa Laia for 5 days and we wish we could have stayed longer! It was such a beautiful villa, extremely well maintained, cleaned multiple times during our stay with laundry service, and the hosts were extremely communicative and helped us book every experience we wanted, we never had to lift a finger! Highly recommend this as the place to stay in Santa Teresa!

Easily one of the best Airbnbs I have stayed at. The house is gorgeous, the staff is friendly and very good at their jobs. I felt completely at home. The communication was top-notch — even when there were questions or concerns, they resolved them so quickly it was as if they never happened. I highly recommend it and will most likely be back! What a joy. Excellent in all areas.

Great house for me. The only concern is that the house is open at the kitchen level, and from the description, you don't necessarily realize the layout of the house, which remains open to the outside. We enjoyed our stay despite everything. A 4x4 is absolutely necessary to get to the house.

We are so happy we stayed here. The villa, the pool, and surroundings are so nice. Andrea, Camila, and everyone through the booking process and stay made this trip a breeze. We decided to split the week with an atv and car which they helped get delivered. Made it a total breeze for locking in transportation. All in all, was one of my favorite Airbnbs.

Amazing Airbnb. Short drive up, not bad at all if u have an atv, worth it for the view. Amazing sunrise and sunset, cleaning is every other day, great for long term rental. Overall 10/10 spot

Overall we had a great stay and the place is really beautiful. The pool and sunset views are definitely the highlight. The concierge is very proactive in messaging you as soon as you book the place and then closer to the time of arrival and willing to offer recommendations. There is cleaning every other or 3rd? day which is very nice but she arrived at 8:30 am and didn't knock on the gate or door, just appeared on the back patio which fightened my child (something to be aware of!). Concierge text me about the cleaner after I sent her away to return later as half us were still sleeping. The concierge did ask if she could show a potential buyer the place during our stay. Maintenace came by twice -one routine visit and the other to fix our water. The water was fixed quickly which was great. Overall, the stay felt private enough but at the same time interrupted over a shorter stay (4 days). If you're planning outings or a longer stay, I don't think it would feel like a big issue.
