“Great Villa in Ubud” Enjoyed our xmas stay here at this Villa. The Villa's are setup well for relaxing in Ubud. Sitting in the pool and watching the scenery is great. Max and his staff are very accommodating and will help you book the attractions in the area. The villa is a about 20 minute drive to the Ubud township so being away from the crowds and in the rice fields is the appeal here. All of the attractions however will do pickups for free which is a good way to get into Ubud town. Cheers

“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.

“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.

“Spacious and Safe Haven in a Convenient yet Scenic Location” I stayed here for six weeks while I was on a part holiday / part business trip to Ubud. It was a really wonderful choice as I felt totally safe and loved there by the friendly owner and her very attentive staff. It was great to have the privacy of my own room, but yet Mary Lee, the owner, was always there for a friendly chat. Her team of three took amazing care of me and my room which was kept tidy every day and would even go to the market for me to buy fresh fruits. While I did not do much cooking there was the ability to cook a simple meal in the well equipped kitchenette. I also really enjoyed a refreshing dip in the pool each morning. The apartment is set amongst rice paddy fields, but was surprisingly just a five minute walk to the main part of Ubud. I walked everywhere and found so many fantastic restaurants in the vicinity. Highly recommended for single women who want a taste of real Bali, but in a situation that makes them feel totally comfortable and safe.

“Well kept, beautifully situated villa on the shore of the ocean” Modern, beautifull villa with 4 private bedrooms and bathrooms, well maintained en well furnished inside as wel as outside. Nice art and decoration. Good size pool in a pretty tropical garden, also comfortable in the evening thanks to plenty lamps in and around the water

“Definitely great place to stay in north Bali, highly recommended!!!"” Very beautiful villa, with very big swimming pool, with amazing view at sea. Villa was in very calm area. Fantastic place to stay during visit in Bali. Also staf was very helpful and kind, give us info about everything we asked. Maid prepared very good breakfast everyday and when we asked and pay for groceries, they also prepare very tasty lunch or dinner. Villa was maintained in very clean condition. Also in villa is everything you need if you want to prepare meals for yourself. Definitely great place to stay north Bali, highly recommended!!!"

“Great place for an escape n tranquil” We came here for our honeymoon. And we wanted to be like a retreat, away from our daily routine n city hectic life. And we found the room we booked was a very nice room, clean n comfortable. Everything that in the picture was exactly what we had. The surrounding was very tranquil, a perfect venue for getaway. In addition we can still hear the sound of nature. So it's like we blend in with them. Do not worry of transport or finding recreation as there were so many activities available, as well as free shuttle to Ubud area. But don't look for a discotheque as it will be quite far and they don't have that hype around Ubud. The breakfast is sufficient and definitely delicious.

“Excellent stay in beautiful Bali” We stayed in Bali the week after celebrating Christmas in our current hometown Singapore. Bali was just beautiful and very relaxing. The home was in an excellent condition and the service outstanding. The staff made sure we had a very relaxing holiday without any worries or stress. The food was excellent…….better than in many restaurants. If you want to join a beautiful relaxing holiday without any hassle and lots of cultural experience, this is the place to go….

“A home away from home” We stayed at Rumah Tyang for 8 nights and had a wonderful time. The villa is spacious, clean and tastefully decorated in Balinese style, as shown in the photos. The location is very convenient - about a 15 minute walk to Ubud centre yet quiet and private. There was plenty of room for 6 adults. Each bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped. The lounge room does not have air-conditioning and can get a bit hot, but the bedrooms are all air-conditioned. The lighting is a bit dim and could be improved. The swimming pool was clean and very refreshing. The outdoor pool area was very pleasant in the evenings and mornings. The booking process went smoothly and Juliana was very prompt at answering any questions. The driver, Nyoman, was excellent – very helpful and a very safe driver. He met us at the airport and was available whenever we called him (a phone is supplied). He was happy to answer all our questions about Bali and organise any bookings for us. The house staff, Agus and Made, kept the house spotless and were available whenever we needed them. At the same time, they respected our privacy and only came into the house when we called them. They will cook you breakfast if you supply the ingredients. I would definitely recommend this place. It is very good value for the quality of the accommodation and the services provided.

“Very authentic Ubud living from hospitable host” In our week's stay in Bali, Ubud was the 2nd destination and we loved it. No doubt Ubud is known for it's art works and culture and agung had made sure that his villa resembles the very essence of it. The villa is located right at the south-west edge of Ubud and is not the easiest place to be found. On the way, one can find all the marvelous wood carved artifacts on the village streets. The villa was built away from the main street in a quieter area with greeneries all around. It's amazing to find so much of trees around, yet there was not much of an issue with bugs/insects/mosquitoes. The kitchen is located just besides the cool private pool where we could enjoy the evening with some drinks and delicious local dishes. If you're interested in local cuisines, check out "Soka Kitchen" who had served the best authentic Balinese dishes at a very reasonable price (they also have home delivery which is even more convenient). None of the rooms got any aC, but Ubud is rather cooler compared to other parts of Bali and so we felt rather comfortable with the stand fans. Agung was extremely helpful all the way and gave us 1st hand experience of the local attractions and culture of Ubud. He himself had taken us around Ubud with visits to Monkey forest, the museums, art galleries, the spectacular rice fields. Pity we didn't have enough time to check out the Balinese dance or religious rituals in the local temples. A walk around the village in the morning breathing the fresh air and greeted with smiling locals is an unique experience and I'd suggest if you're looking for a trip to Bali, spend a few days in Ubud. Agung's villa can provide all amenities at a reasonable price for a family vacation.
