“Happy Bali Vacation@ A.W.E.S.O.M.E Villa =)” We booked this villa from the owner, Antonius just days before our trip after seeing the good reviews and beautiful pictures. His response to our emails was prompt & helpful. I will say a personal touch as it was more like booking from a family friend. If you are concerned that the pictures were be different from the actual look of the villa. There is really nothing to worry, as the place was well-equipped & pretty. It was a 5D4N stay for my family with airport pickup. The driver for our airport pickup even came an hour b4 our flight landed! The villa was located in Seminyak whereby there are really lots of great food within short distance like Naughty Nuri, Kuteda, Potatohead, Sea Circus, The Bistrot, Rumours (Taxi Fare: SGD$2-3) & a supermarket right outside the main road of our villa . We even managed to get some great souvenirs from there. Most important is our favourite SPA BALI for massage needs is just less than $2(cab fare) away too! Getting a taxi is not difficult as well if you do not have a hired driver as you can find a lot right outside the main road. My family indeed enjoyed our 1st villa experience. It was also the 1st time that we experienced the service whereby we were given a local mobile for us so that it is much more convenient & having 2 butlers to help us with the daily cleaning and ensuring that we enjoyed our stay. They even buy fruits, cut them and do juices for us as part of their service. They also speak fluent English so language wasn't a problem. During our stay, we hired a driver to bring us around as we felt that it will be much more convenient & the price was reasonable but he got lost when he tried to locate our villa on the 1st day. Antonius was very helpful to him, giving him the directions to the villa when he called him for help as he could not get us on our local mobile. He even gave one of the butler a call to check on us to see if our hired driver found us. Indeed, an extra mile service. Thank You, Antonius!! If my friends will to come Bali, I will definitely recommend them Villa Agni as we really enjoyed our stay. Great Service with a personal touch! =) Actually, I was already sharing with them how great the place is on my first day & recommending them!! hahaa... =)

“Paradise” Beautiful island and beautiful villa. The staff were really friendly and the "in-house" cooking was delicious, all made with local fresh ingredients. Plently of space in the villa which was always kept really clean. The outside bathrooms were a real novelty! The village is really un-developed. No hassle at all from the usual traders on the beach and not a tourist shop in sight - brilliant. The snorkeling was amazing (even better than the Great Barrier Reef) and the staff at Reef Seen are so passionate about the work they have been doing with the coral, the fish and the turtles. The staff there are full of information and very friendly. Guided walks around the interior of the islands showed us all the wonderful fruit and vegetables that are grown on the island; no wonder so many of the locals have never left the island. We were a group of friends all in our mid fifties but would be great for groups of any age wanting a bit of peace and quiet. All in all a wonderful, memorable and relaxing holiday that we would certainly recomend to anyone wanting to get away from it all and have a bit of luxury at the same time.

“Best birthday I could have had” Villa ketumber was exactly as described and the photo were an excellent indication of how this villa is. Travelling with my grown family and a few of their friends there was room for everyone. Nice and close to everything we wanted. Staff were very helpful especially ajan the gardener who went above and beyond many times for us all. We loved tickis the cat even if she can be a little noisy through the night lol . Hadrien was fantastic with his quick responses to any queries we had before coming and showed great compassion for an incident we had while we stayed there. Have stayed in villas many times in Bali and this was my favourite.

“beautiful villa” great villa for large families and friends. Pool was amazing as well as the rooms and amenities. Staff were always friendly and helpful. Large entertainment area, Is a bit of a walk to main Seminyak area but transport was always available at around $3-$4 AUS. would recommend

“Delightful Retreat, Glorious Gardens, Abundant Space, Artistic D” My Family of 7 have just stayed for a wonderful week at Villa Merah. Arriving there is a fantastic experience as the spaciousness and atmosphere of the lovely gardens and the general setting brings a smile to ones face. The kids were very soon off exploring the huge gardens and begging to jump in the pool, while the adults were busy taking in the lovely open layout and wonderful artistic touches of the house itself. There are brilliant original paintings (by the owner, a well known artist) hanging on the walls and authentic artifacts from around Bali arranged tatefully about the property. I particularly loved the main entrance door which is an intricately carved masterpiece! Mornings were spent enjoying the dappled sunlight while feasting on great breakfasts prepared by the staff ( who were always happy to help but not at all intrusive), fun afternoons snorkelling at the beach or playing in the pool and gardens and great evenings cooking fresh fish on the BBQ. I would recommend having a car available as we did so you can pop to the shops, beach or whatever. I would definitely say the pics here don't do the place justice and we hope to have the chance to return sometime soon for some more perfect relaxation time.

“Fantastic stay in a tropical paradise” We stayed at Villa Elleo over the Easter long weekend and we could not have been happier with our choice. To begin with Ketut was extremely helpful in helping us arrange our stay with timely responses to emails and even helping us arrange dinner on our first night as our plan was arriving late. The villa looked exactly like the photos and was extremely comfortable. The house staff were by far what made it an enjoyable experience, they were so friendly and helpful, organising massages in the villa, preparing breakfasts and fresh coconuts. We also thoroughly enjoyed Nyoman card tricks. With the night security Made we always felt safe and he even helped arrange late night take out for us. The villa has a perfect location, tucked away so it's nice and quiet but only a few minutes walk from the main area of Seminyak, with plenty of markets, and restaurants to choose from. Overall everyone was extrely happy with our decision to stay at Villa Elleo, and we would not hesitate to both recommend or re-book the villa for our next stay. Thank you Ketut, Yanti, Nyoman, Made and Made for a wonderful stay in Seminyak.

“Best accommodation of our entire trip” Myself and two friends travelled to Bali late in January, which was the first visit to Indonesia for all of us. Our first stop was Angel Villa and it was the best introduction to Bali we could possibly have asked for. Annie and Rod (as well as being fantastic hosts) are so knowledgeable not only of Balinese culture, but also of the local surrounds, and so for Bali novices like ourselves, we found ourselves saying "We'll ask Annie when we get back" whenever there was something we didn't fully understand, and without fail, they had the answers. Their recommendations were consistently spot on, not only for fantastic local places to eat and drink, but also for shopping destinations like for silver jewelery etc, and the best ways to get around - locally, as well as off to our next destination. We stayed in the Poolside room, which is the larger room of the two on offer, and is lovely and light, with fans and air-con to relieve the humid and hot temperatures. On days we weren't out exploring, the Villa was a fantastic place to relax - we spent a lot of time on the balai or relaxing by the pool, reading, playing cards and/or having a couple of bintangs. The gardens are exquisite and provide a brilliant oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the streets. Given it's a homestay there is a fully equipped kitchen, and while we used it for snacks only, if you were interested in cooking a 'proper' meal you'd find everything you need, and the local supermarket is a 5 min walk away. The location in Mas is great - out of the crazy-ness of Ubud which is a huge plus, but still easy enough to get in to Ubud if and when you want to. Local market is spitting distance away for all things fresh (and is a must visit), as are cheap warungs for delicious local style food, as well as slightly more expensive restaurant style places if you so desire. Great bar called Dstar which has live music a few times a week is also easy walking distance away. Oh, and did I mention the pool?!?! As hosts Annie and Rod are very respectful - there when you need them, but at the same time it really felt like we had the place to ourselves most of the time. There is no curfew, and we all felt very comfortable to come and go as we pleased. And I know it' might seem like a small thing, but over our couple of weeks in both Bali and on the Gili Islands, Angel Villa had by far the absolute best water pressure of all our accommodation choices! Loved staying here, would return without hesitation.

“Beautiful setting in an authentic Bali villa with everything you” Helen and Kadeo could no have been more welcoming. Helen gave us lots of information before we arrived and provided a few things we asked for including airport pick up and a brand new baby car seat. We were pleasantly surprised by the walk to the villa having imagined a bit of a trek it really was only 5 minutes through the rice paddies which we easily managed with two asleep children (aged 3 & 4) and our bags with kareoke help and a torch! It all added to a sense of adventure. In the day light this walk was wonderful and we saw beautiful views villas and lots of wildlife including ducks frogs dragonfly dogs etc to the delight of the boys. Karens breakfast was gorgeous and she was very good with the kids. The villa was beautifully decorated but so you didn't feel at home and they encouraged us to move anything around to make us happy. The two bedrooms outdoor ensuites and huge open plan living area was lovely with ceiling fans and aC. The outdoor patio, pool and Bali hut were stunning and very private with high walls and a lovely wooden door out to the paddies. We stayed 5 days and spent one at the elephant sanctuary which was well worth the pricy entrance, Kadek arranged a driver for around $30 au for 4-5 hrs. We felt quite close to Ubud centre too but didn't walk there only because it was a bit tricky on the narrow roads with kids but taxis were good and very cheap. We are at dreams cafe on the oath many times and loved the food and ambience my son started to look like banana fritters and my husband and I like nasi goreng! Amazing place and we felt so welcome thanks again to Helen for her lovely impromptu australia Day get together we were so kindly included in! Btw we took every mozzie repellant and had no problems or need for it also no sickness which is quite am achievement when your toddler eats off the floor! Highly recommend pondok iman for families or couples.

“Totally relaxed holiday , with everything we needed.” My wife and I had a most relaxing holiday while staying at the villa. the accommodation suited us and the beds in particular were wonderful after flying there tired, and needing a long sleep. The staff were helpful, friendly, and the food delicious. Waking up to the sounds of the waves, and seeing the local villagers going about their day was a pleasure. When we wanted to, we were driven to most places by Dewa, always ready to help. The location is close to places we often frequent when visiting bali which suited us more. The owners went out of their way to make sure we were well looked after. Our son will be staying there soon, we told him about the good surfing waves outside the villa. Wonderful break, thanks to all, see you next year.

“Consistently exceptional!” My friends always ask me why I keep going back to Villa Wilali and the answer is really simple. I've travelled all over the world in search of a piece of paradise and nothing compares to wilali for relaxation, privacy and pampering! Everything is affordable, the food is great, the snorkeling is amazing and the weather warm. The yoga on the lawn was brilliant and the massages by the ocean are divine. The whole experience is pure bliss.

“Like paradise” We have had a wonderful and memorable holiday. The staff is helpful, friendly and they are really doing all they can to please us. Every day we were amazed that everything went so smoothly. We were very pleased with the service mindedness and attention to the details that has made this holiday a great experience for all of us. Ita and Tommik made exellent food for us every day.

“Great villa with nice view at sunset in Bali see” We spend 11 nights at villa Mente and enjoyed the luxury of the villa, the pool and it's staff. We made several daytrips but we also stayed some days relaxing at the pool. Komang does the household and coocking. She made our holiday and stay at villa Mente unforgettable. Many thanks! And if you need a really good taxidriver than contact Bob Bali. He is just the bomb: http://www.bobbali.com

“Perfect setting” We travelled to Candidasa in Jan 2013 for 8 days (2 adults & 3 kids 11,8 & 4). We stayed in Jogolo and the accommodation was exactly as pictured. It was very comfortable & clean. We all had an amazing stay mostly relaxing by the pool and are all very much looking forward to another stay. We were delighted by the hospitality offered by Iouri and the lovely staff. We have no hesitation recommending the accommodation as it was really lovely.
