Villa Eyrie Resort

Spent a night in one of the master suites and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Friendly staff, beautiful location, spotless room with a spacious bathroom and separate jetted tub. We will definitely be returning for a longer stay!

Beautiful location and views, perfect for a special occasion and just a place to relax. There’s a spa on the premises and restaurant. I recommend the restaurant, most dishes we had were excellent. The staff is welcoming and friendly, will address your needs.

Just love this hotel. Could have spent much longer at the Villa. We had booked a classic room but got an upgrade to a villa Aquila suite. The room was gorgeous. The views were amazing and the room was huge and comfortable. The restaurant was also fantastic with great food service and views. It was convenient to sightseeing and some active pursuits.

Villa Eyrie Resort was our home away from home for a 6-night visit to Vancouver Island. It proved to be a centrally located home base for our various trips around the island. We were very glad to be outside of Victoria (about a 30-minute drive) and surrounded by so much natural beauty. The setting is absolutely stunning and the views are magnificent (the website photos do not lie)! The location also was a good location for heading north on the island (e.g. the Cowichan Valley) and for exploring the south/southwest coast city of Sooke and the wilderness beaches. Our party of five included two couples and one single. We had three rooms: the Junior Penthouse Suite in Villa Cielo and two rooms with views in Villa Principale. All of us were more than pleased with our accommodations. We also took advantage of the first floor, common spaces at Villa Cielo to play games/cards and drink wine in the evenings with our entire party together. The resort offered complementary shuttle service from the Principale building to Villa Cielo, as the road between is steep and winding. Several of us also enjoyed the Tuscan Spa during our stay. Services booked included a gentleman’s facial, a relaxation massage, and the Tuscan Signature Massage. We were all very pleased with our services. The spa is lovely, though small with only a couple of treatment rooms. They could not accommodate all three of us at the same appointment time due to space constraints. Still, it is a lovely, tranquil space that instantly invites relaxation to wash over you. We recommend Villa Eyrie Resort if you want a place out of Victoria and surrounded by natural beauty!

I was visiting from Ontario and have friends that live on the island. They took me to Villa Eyrie for brunch on Thursday and the food, view and service were outstanding. A wonderful experience. I had the mushroom maple bacon eggs Benedict. Delicious!

We stayed at Villa Eyrie for 2 nights as part of our trip, and it was very memorable. We had an Aquila Classic Room with an amazing view of the Finlayson Arm and the mountains in the distance. The room was huge, and nicely decorated, with a handwritten note on arrival. For the scenery and size of the room the rates seemed quite reasonable, as it really is a special location. The amenities at the resort were also pretty good, we used the pool and fitness suite while there. I would also recommend the restaurant, we had breakfast and dinner there and it was delicious - on the higher end price wise but seemed worth it for the views and service too!

We went there yesterday for lunch. It is a beautiful well maintained resort with villas overlooking the valley. The staff is friendly. It has lots of plants and flowers around. We had lunch for 4 which came to almost $400.00 Obviously they cater to the ones who have expense accounts. Wines are totally overpriced 3 to 4 times the liquor store prices. The chef put on Swiss dishes which were okay. We are two retired Chef/Restaurateurs and do know what we are looking at. The Shrimp dish was nice but stil spicy without Chorizo. We had the sliced pork tenderloin Zurichoise, a cream sauce with mushrooms and what he called Roesti, which were potato pucks deep fried too many times you could not even cut them!! And had absolutely nothing to do with Roesti potatoes. We had some nice Rye bread which by the way cost as $2.00 a slice!. I do not know who can afford those attrocious prices today? We usually have a nice bottle of wine when we go out but refused to be ripped off. Otherwise lunch was good.

Large, nice room, nice staff. Unfortunately, the spa staff was inexperienced. Biggest issue was the restaurant that is highly rated. Our waitstaff was very good but hampered by the kitchen. One meal had to be sent back to be reheated. Ice cream was half-melted. Kitchen was slow. Also, host was unaware that there was a separate vegetarian menu. We'd seen it online and liked the offerings but were told it wasn't available. The gym has minimal equipment, and after two weeks on a road trip on Vancouver Island, I was really looking forward to it. Not up to par for a luxury hotel. It's worth the price for the rooms but not if you plan to use the hotel's other facilities.
