Tucked away in the quiet Wangkata neighborhood, this villa-style property strikes the perfect balance between seclusion and convenience, putting Khao Yai’s best natural and cultural attractions within easy reach. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a slow weekend with friends, Itti Seree caters to travelers craving comfort and privacy amid nature.

Hotel Overview

Itti Seree Pool Villa is located in Khon Phra, Wangkata, Petchaburi 30130, Thailand, a quiet residential hillside area that avoids the crowds of Khao Yai’s busier tourist corridors. All villas come with their own private plunge pool, ideal for cool evening dips after a day of hiking, plus private balconies or terraces overlooking sprawling garden views—perfect for sipping morning coffee as mist rolls over the surrounding hills. Every unit is equipped with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and a full simple kitchen, so you can whip up light meals or store snacks for day trips without relying on restaurants for every meal. The property is entirely non-smoking, offers free private on-site parking (no advance reservation required), and free Wi-Fi available across the entire resort. Only Thai is spoken by on-site staff, so a basic translation app is helpful for any requests during your stay.

Nearby Attractions

Three standout local attractions sit within a 20-minute drive of the villa:

• Khao Yai National Park: Thailand’s third-largest national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site is just 18 kilometers away. Spend a day hiking to waterfalls like Haew Su Wat, spot wild elephants and hornbills on a guided night safari, or picnic beside the park’s tranquil lakes.
• PB Valley Khao Yai Winery: One of Khao Yai’s most popular wineries, 12 kilometers from the villa, offers rolling vineyard views, wine tastings of local Shiraz and Chenin Blanc blends, and al fresco dining with hilltop views over the valley.
• Prinz Palace Garden: A whimsical European-style botanical garden 15 kilometers from the property, with vibrant flower beds, manicured lawns, and fairy-tale inspired architecture. It’s perfect for leisurely afternoon walks and casual photos against a backdrop of Khao Yai’s misty hills.

Travel Tips

The property is best accessed by private car or rented scooter, which gives you the flexibility to explore surrounding attractions at your own pace; free parking on-site makes this hassle-free. Bring along a translation app to communicate with staff, as only Thai is spoken. Khao Yai’s temperatures drop significantly in the evenings between November and February, so pack a light sweater even if you’re visiting during Thailand’s winter dry season. If you’re traveling during the wet season (May to October), pack waterproof hiking gear and check road conditions before heading out to the national park. Book at least one month in advance for stays during peak season (November to January), as private pool villas in Khao Yai fill up quickly.
