Quiet and cosy villa with own pool

Have been to this villa a few times. Really like the quiet location. Everything was very good.

We really enjoyed our stay , the property is great , facilities and services, I really recommend the villa

The villa was of the highest standard. It was very clean and well maintained. The pool was perfect for the children and was kept very clean by the grounds staff each day. The view over the lagoon from the pergola was super calm and relaxing. We would definitely stay here again.

This was our second stay and like last time it was perfect. Location is quiet overlooking the lagoon so it is a peaceful escape. Daily pool cleaning and gardening people are discreet and maintain the outdoor space beautifully. The only downside was leaving this lovely villa to come home! Thanks again Ed and Nasser for a great 2 weeks vacation. Look forward to returning soon.

The property was as expected in terms of cleanness & all listed amenities. Welcoming was very good by Nasser (Property Manager) & the service was constantly done for the pool & garden area at early morning times on daily basis. The overall experience was relaxing & comforting. Just a small comment at the time of checkout that we were contacted the night before checkout by another property management team member (Islam) asking to evacuate the villa by 9:00 am (earlier to the timing mentioned in the rental documents -12:00 PM). This was resolved after a couple of phone calls back & forth but I have to leave a comment here that it caused a sort of discomfort out of no reason specially that he was not quite gentle in the way he asked for such thing. Another point to mention was that the Villa beside was having some repairs going on that lead to having workers mounting the roof top on daily basis. This breached our privacy to some extent as they were visible to us while staying around the pool area; still I have to say, that the workers were very professional, working quietly & not peeking at others' properties. Other than this, everything else was perfect & we much enjoyed our stay. As a small technical comment, I recommend adding a couple of electricity outlets in the Villa's front facing the pool area to help connecting any portable devices while staying outdoors i.e. mobile phone chargers, speakers...etc.

This was our 3rd trip to El Gouna but the first time in a villa and what an enjoyable experience we had! Our family loved this beautiful villa, having breakfast and lunch in the sunshine on the patio by the pool and chilled evenings under the pergola with a shisha. The airport pick up arranged through Ed went smoothly and we had a great welcome from Nasser upon arrival at the spacious and well equipped villa. The pool was a lovely temperature and well attended as were the grounds. We walked into downtown on the first night (about 20 minutes) but then made full use of the tuk tuk service (a bargain at 40LE for the 5 of us) and visited several restaurants and bars around downtown and the marina. With 2 days of boat diving and 4 days of relaxation our week went by far too quick so we look forward to making a return visit in the not too distant future. Thank you Ed and Nasser!

Villa Saluma is as nice as the pictures depict. We had a wonderful holiday from the moment we arrived to the time we left. We arranged transfers through the villa owner Ed and were met at the airport with no problem. We have visited El Gouna many times, staying in various villas in both West Golf and South Marina, and villa Saluma is right up there with the best. West Golf and South Marina both have plusses and minuses. South Marina is well placed for walking to both downtown and the marina, but has no views, and most villas are overlooked by apartments. West Golf is a little further out and outside of walking distance to downtown and the marina for us. Villa Saluma makes up for this with lagoons front and rear and a beautidul view over the golf course. The fact it is a little further out really isn't a problem as it is very easy to phone either a taxi or tuk-tuk from the vilaa. Just a point of note for parties of four (as we were). With the recent rise in the fare for tuk-tuks it is now half the price for 4 people by taxi (20LE) as opposed to 40LE for two tuk-tuks. The villa is well appointed with all you need to make your stay relaxing. The pool is excellent, clean and well maintained, something that has sometimes been a problem at some villas we have stayed at. Our favourite spot, especially in the evenings, was the thatched pergola by the pool. After dining we would return to villa, grab drinks, and chill under the pergola. We spent some very late nights under there, including sitting up to watch the sunrise. Ed (and Luke) corresponded with us very well and frequently, from our initial enquiry through to booking and departure. The local agent Nasser (and Emad) are excellent and can't do enough for you. We had an issue with the telephone and wifi during the first week but this was quickly resolved by Emad. If it's your first visit to El Gouna you will find lots of nice restaurants both downtown and at the marina. Two that we particularly enjoyed on this visit were The Orient in lower downtown, and Breeze in the marina. If you go to Breeze on a Sunday it is best to phone and reserve a table as it is Karaoke night and can get busy, but it's great fun. I perhaps shouldn't say this in case Ed reads it, but Villa Saluma is excellent value for money given the pricing. We would certainly book again.

This holiday location has it all! El Gouna is a paradise on earth and the villa makes you feel you are the queen of El Gouna! This is the second time we have been here and just like the first time, everything had been arranged perfectly. If we needed anything, we just called N. and he arranged it. He made us feel so welcome. Thanks a lot!! For those who have never been here: the pictures are exactly how it is! Just perfect! I have read that El Gouna is the Italian Venice of Egypt. That is true as far as the water is concerned, but El Gouna is much cleaner, safer and much more beautiful. If you don't want to relax all day in the villa, or at the beach, or on a terrace, you can enjoy so many activities in El Gouna, like playing golf, diving, snorkeling, kite surfing, jeep safari in the desert, too many things to mention. If you want something unique, you have found the right place!

Overall the Villa was very lovely and can not be faulted. However, the pool was very cold and the children were really looking forward to getting into the pool. Once the pool was heated it took two days for the temperature to be right. So I felt that we had missed out on two days in the pool. There was no brush or mop to clean up, the villa had almost everything except a brush and a mop. I did ask Naseer (local agent who looks after the villa) but did not get a respond back from him. Overall would recommend this villa to anyone looking for a nice time.

Just arrived home after 9 nights in Villa Saluma and highly recommend this villa. Ed and Nasser couldn't have been more helpful. We loved the outside space and pool, which was cleaned and tested daily. There are wonderful restaurants close by via tuk tuk or taxi, our favourites were La Luna and Chez Pascal. Cooking in the villa was very easy, everything you need is there. All in all we had a lovely holiday. Thank you Ed and Nasser
