Pros: This villa was amazing - very unique and memorable. Having been travelling for a few weeks it was a great place to stop for a few days, with the family able to spread out and all have their own room and kitchen and living areas as well. There was a very clean pool, although the weather wasn't warm enough to use it when we were there. The property even came with a resident cat! Having space -both in the villa and in the garden - felt like such a luxury from our previous cramped hotel rooms. However, it was the hospitality we received from Gaber and Mohammed were what really made it stand out. 2/5 of our family were unwell with the not so uncommon \
Cons: The villa is quite dark inside, which makes sense 99% of the year when the sun is blazing. We caught a cooler spell, but there were plenty of lights and the garden lighting is spectacular at night.

A true oasis
Pros: Everything was perfect. The place is beautiful, even more stunning than in the pictures. It is a true oasis, one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed in. Gaber and Mohamed are excellent people, very helpful and respectful. We asked for privacy and they adapted perfectly. In addition, Gaber organized all the tours for us during our stay, completely personalized and accommodating new requests or unexpected changes. One of the best experiences we have ever had. Many thanks to the whole team, we can’t wait to come back! Shukran :)
Cons: That we had to leave

Beautiful house, dreamy gardens, huge pool, fantastic staff.
Pros: The villa is a beautiful oasis on the West Bank of Luxor, which feels like a world from the cruise ships and tourist chaos. However, a quick taxi ride or boat across the water will take you to the sights of the east bank, and out to the valley of the kings. There are plenty of locals to help with getting about. The house is beautiful—and the gardens are amazing- particularly at night when the blossom fills the air. Muhammad looked after us- great breakfast and anything at all we needed. Jaber helped us with trips and transport- both so friendly and helpful. Ps make sure you do the hot air balloon if you are there!
Cons: Nothing. We loved it

Pros: We loved everything about Villa Barba it was the perfect property for us.

Gaber helped to arrange all the excursions we needed and they were all fantastic and good value.
