We've got a patio villa with the W/D inside. Bottom-of-the-totem-pole equipment - and boy howdy are they noisy!!! But in the balance of things, we like them inside the house in spite of the racket when they're running.

Note: Current patio villas are being built with a pocket door to close off the laundry area from the kitchen, I believe. We don't have that in ours - it would undoubtedly help to cut down on some of the noise.

When we were preparing to "house shop"...a good friend who has lived here for a long time and has a villa told me...."You will want to look for a bigger garage (we got a house with a double-garage) and be sure to have your laundry facilities inside. I'm glad we adhered to that advice! The garage can really be HOT at times plus stinky with the motor/gas smells. We have an actual laundry room and have quite a bit of storage in there. There are elements of a villa that I love (we have a cottage series)...but thinking for us we made the right decision.
