Wonderful stay

Very nice place in a beautiful setting with nice views of the ocean and lagoon. Convenient location to get to several MiniMarkets for groceries, as well as the best beaches and activities we did. Kitchen was well stocked and beds were comfortable. The deck was wonderful for morning coffees and dining. Would definitely rent again when we come back to Moorea.

The property is amazing - love how open and airy the unit is. The view is also amazing - nice to be able to see both the surrounding hills as well as the ocean. Both the owner Eleonora and the manager Jenny were very accomodating, timely in their communication, and helpful with property information and activity suggestions. I will recommend to others and would love to return one day,

Your own private resort

We wanted a luxurious resort vacation but also an authentic Moorea experience. Eleonora’s Villa provided the perfect combination of local charm and luxury, as the villa is beautiful and well equipped to high standard. We loved exploring the local area, snorkelling the nearby beach, and even shopping at the local French grocery stores. The location is right where you want to be on Moorea. Both the owner and property manager were very accommodating to whatever we needed. Would return without hesitation.

The perfect housing to live Moorea

Villa Ta'ura is a awesome retreat to fully enjoy the sheer beauty of Moorea, thanks to its awesome elevated position within Legends Residences. You have privacy, nature surrounding you for 360 degree, lagoon view and a fully equipped property that you will easily feel your home for the rest of your stay. The quality of the decor as well of the amenities eases everyday living, so that is a pleasure to come back after a day spent out. The interaction with Eleonora, the owner, has been flawless as that with Jenny who is in charge of the house. I would totally recommend this property to anyone interested not just in an accomodation, but in finding a place in harmony with the island.

Nice Secluded Property with Great Ocean View

A nice villa in a gated community with a wonderful panoramic view of the ocean and mountains from a spacious deck. A couple of minor drawbacks: the dishwasher didn’t really clean the dishes, and if you wanted up to eat inside (which we did because of high winds), you have sit on a backless stool at the kitchen counter. Communication/instructions with the host on check-in and checkout were almost non-existent. Having said that, it was a very enjoyable stay.

Relaxing and beautiful.

We stayed for six nights, and loved every minute. The property is exactly as represented - stunningly beautiful with wonderful amenities like the jacuzzi and a deck with wonderful views of the mountains and the ocean. We enjoyed watching the early morning sunrise and dips in the jacuzzi when it was humid and warm during the day. Nights are so quiet and peaceful. We would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Eleonora Manzolini

Host profile image
I am a world traveler, originally from Italy. I like to spend time in beautiful places and share them with like minded people. I have a home in Mill Valley California which is also on VRBO #360560, and a home in Rome, Italy. This little gem in Moorea, a half hour ferry ride from the main island of Tahiti, is my special little retreat in the sun, to get away from the cold of winter.

Why they chose this property

Moorea is one of the more beautiful places I have seen in my travels. The people are laid back and nice, the climate is mild and the ocean is clean. There are few tourists, so it is still very 'real', without being third world because it is French. The restaurants serve great food, and the healthcare is good in case I need it. There are many outdoor activities available, like hiking, biking, surfing, snorkeling and scuba diving, as well as my favorite, Tahitian dancing. The house is within a gated residential area, so it is totally private and safe for a single woman like me. The neighbors are mostly couples and families. The caretaker and his wife are helpful if I need anything and there is a fitness facility which I like to use when it rains. A small shopping center is 5 minutes away and there are a number of good restaurants in the area.

What makes this property unique

The reason I chose this property over others is the security of the gated residence, the site, which is very beautiful and although not directly on the beach, the beach is just down the hill. The hill itself offers great hiking right of out my front door. The villas, designed by a well known French architect, are very tasteful, beautifully landscaped, and have all the modern amenities. My villa has only one neighbor, and is very quiet and private.
