“Even better than the photos - just beautiful” Stayed a week at Geoffrey's lovely villa with family including our 5 month old daughter. Such a great property, beautiful gardens and wonderful place to stay in a good neighbourhood. Just a 15-20 min walk to Ubud with plenty of great walks and dining options locally. The property is even more beautiful than the photos suggest. Very comfortable lodgings and lush gardens. The staff were very friendly and took great care of us and the property while we were there. All of us felt very fortunate to stay in this fantastic villa - highly recommended!

“A Wonderful 'Getaway' Villa” I've visited Bali on multiple occasions over the last 10 years but after my wife, 18-month old son, a friend, and I spent 4 nights at the villa in Penestanan, I will never bother looking for anywhere else to stay. The villa is extremely well thought out and designed to make the best use of the space with a reasonable size swimming pool and garden area for enjoying the sun. The two double bedrooms are beautifully furnished and boast exquisite outdoor bathrooms. The kitchen/dining/living area is open plan and extremely spacious even for several adults. It is clear that a tremendous amount of thought has gone in to ensuring you want for nothing and caters for your every need; in addition to the large fridge/freezer, 3-burner gas hob, flatscreen TV, DVD player, iPod dock, and wifi, it is also supplied with a toaster, juicer, coffee plunger, umbrellas, and inflatable beds for the swimming pool! Not only does the villa ooze quality, but it is also fabulously appointed in an extremely quiet neighbourhood, yet only 5 minutes walk to the well known The Bridges restaurant and Murni's warung. We all left the villa planning how soon we could return! I couldn't recommend it highly enough!

“Best Spot in Ubud... Maybe even Bali!” We loved Villa Via (and Villa Jepun and Hibiscus). Yes we stayed in all three villas on four separate stays in 6 weeks of travel in Bali. We travelled all over the island and continued to return to the beauty, calm, cleanliness and privacy of the villa's at Devi's Place. Villa Via was our favourite of all three. The beautiful clean kitchen allowed to do much of our cooking on our own, and when we didn't feel like it, the lovely staff coordinated food delivery for us. We also had the option to order from Murdi, part of the Devi's Place team who made amazing home cooked Indonesian food, and some delicious western dishes too. The staff go above and beyond, always friendly, available and very helpful. We loved the views of the rice fields and our early morning walks. We were on a working holiday and appreciated the reliable internet (hard to find on the island). For $5/day you can grab a motorbike that they have available for guests and go explore Ubud. The proximity to Intuitive Flow Yoga, Yellow Flower Cafe, Sari Organik and alchemy were great. We loved the short walk to Cantika Zest for the best spa treatments of anywhere in Ubud, and also treated ourselves to massages in the villa too. We left three other properties ahead of schedule to return to Devi's Place. It truly is a gem, incredible value for the experience and comfort. It was clean, no air fresheners (which are everywhere in most villas), great water pressure, beautiful and private salt-water pool, comfortable sitting area and stocked with Dvds. This place was absolutely perfect!

“Will be back” Awesome place! Everything you want from a villa! Generous rooms and great bathrooms. The lounge was fantastic and the pool boy was also very accommodating! I will definetly be back! Special thanks to Steve!

“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.

“understated luxury, impeccable gracious service.” I had the pleasure of staying at Sayang Estate in September and it truly was exceptional. The grounds are immaculate spacious and private. The interior simple, airy and elegant. Many villas in Bali can be a bit "dated" or overdone in decor. Villa Sayang strikes the right cord of authentic Bali feel meets chic modern boutique. All of our needs were attended to most graciously from delivering wine and motorbikes to Babi guling but we were always given just the right amount of privacy. Fantastic location. Easy to get to town, restaurants and grocery store. My very favorite part of the day... breakfast in the open living room bale. Fresh fruits, local honey, yogurt, omelets and the best coffee! Thanks for a great stay!

“The best one yet” We arrived at the Bintang parking lot, met by 3 guys who are going to take our bags. Up a "rustic" stairs, down a path behind the grocery, then another path, then another..."what did we get into?" Last turn and you look across a rice field and find heaven. Beautiful grounds, great pool, almost total quiet, spotless, great breakfast...yet you're still maybe 15 minutes total walk in to "downtown" Ubud or 10 minutes up the stream bed and turn up into Penestanan. I'm doubtful that you can match this for privacy yet proximity to Ubud shopping and sightseeing. Landlord was incredibly responsive to emails. Driver/Guide most helpful. This was, just simply, one of those place that you kind of want to denigrate a bit so it will be available the next time for us, because we will return. The pictures understate the beauty and you can't hear the quiet in a photo. This is one to not overlook if you like privacy and still like to see what Ubud has to see and do.

“Amazing, authentic, gorgeous, romantic, and such sweet people!” My husband and I booked a last minute reservation with Jaya at one of his Bali Udud Villas. It was even better than we expected. Don't hesitate, stay here! We got to stay at two different villas and took a peek at a third, and all were amazing. Each villa is a true balinese escape. The design, architecture, gardens, views and pool were so breathtakingly beautiful. Jaya and his family were extremely sweet and took really good care of us. Wayan made us delicious breakfasts and served them right in our garden next to the pool. Jaya and his nephew gave us rides to wherever we wanted to go (much easier than driving and parking). But we just wanted to stay at the villa--really, it's amazing! Highly recommend! The villas are very well maintained, wifi is reliable, and location is ideal (just out of the madness of downtown Ubud). And very quiet (didn't notice any rooster noise).

“What a great place to stay in the Ubud area!” If you are looking for a great place to stay in Ubud, try the Villa amrita! It really was the perfect place for me, to relax and rewind. I couldn't have hoped for a better place to stay. Although the place is not within walking distance of the Ubud centre itself, the villa shuttle to Ubud made it so easy to go there and come back, any time of the day. Undoubtedly, the helpful and fantastic staff with whom nothing is a problem and everything is possible, made it a very enjoyable stay. Special thanks to Wayan, Ayu, Made and Onk! I've been extremely impressed of the villa, with the privat pool and the fantastic garden. The Dhanya room I stayed in was stunning. It has a balcony that extends over steeply dropping rice terraces, with an incredible view. Everything is well decorated, with the attention to detail from the owners. Well done! I had a marvelous time and I will definitely come back, when traveling to Bali again!

“Back to paradise” How excited I was to enjoy yet another stay at this beautiful hidden oasis. This time I was back with the family(husband and 2 teenage boys). Again, I was mesmerised by the tranquillity and ambience of Teras Sungai. It truly felt like coming home. There is no other place in all of Bali that I can truly relax and recharge the batteries. Again, I found the villa to be meticulously clean. The staff are on hand to make your stay as carefree and memorable as they can. Again, the breakfast, juices and service was top class. No request was ever a problem for Wayan Snr. The hosts Wayan and Kath Were always available to answer questions and offer advice. My only complaint was, that I didn't want to leave at the end of our stay. So Teras Sungai, it is not goodbye because I will be back to soak up the magic once again.

“Beautiful private villa, perfect for an Ubud getaway” I can't say enough about this villa, and Steve at privateubudvillas.com. You should definitely choose this villa or another from the villas that are offered. Excellent service and attention to detail. 5 stars!!!
