“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!

“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.

“A relaxing authentic Balinese experience” Sumara House is an absolutely delightful authentic villa surrounded by beautiful gardens. If you like space and privacy this villa is ideal. It is also very conveniently located within close proximity to restaurants, spas and galleries and the staff are fantastic. Central Ubud is either a 20 minute walk or a $5.00 taxi ride.

“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!!!

“A conseiller tres fortement” Hotel incroyable... Que de bonnes surprises et notre coeur est partage entre la douceur des lieux et la gentillesse du personnel. La grande piscine surplombe une belles vallee verte. La suite est superbe ainsi que la vue qu elle offre. Resto tres bon... Les services sont remaquables... Ils ont recupere nos bagages perdus a l aeroport, ils nous ont laisse les aider en cuisine pour apprendre la cuisine locale, nous avons prefere les adresses proposees par l hotel plutot que par nos guides, velos a disposition pour sortir de l hotel et visiter les environs et les locaux toujours souriants... Du coup on a prolonge d une nuit notre sejour... Le leger point negatif, un peu loin de Ubud, par contre navette a disposition a volonte. Un grand merci au personnel toujours presents et qui nous ont soigne comme des rois. A tres bientot dans se petit bout de paradis...

“Better than 5 Star!” To understand how nice this property is, I need to give some context. Prior to staying at Villa Pura Padi my family (6) and I had stayed on a 5 star luxury all Villa Resort in the most Southerly pint of Bali. I told the kids not to expect the Ubud accommodation to be anywhere near as good as the Villa we had stayed in previously. But it was better! Beautifully designed by a French interior designer, stunning uninterupted views from almost every window of the padi fields and temple. Every mod con you could ask for. Quality furnishings and artwork with high ceilings. Oh and the master bathroom - Stunning Tirta who lives next to the property could not have been more helpful. He drove my family around and even lent me his own bike so I could take off and explore.

“Modern, Comfortable and Secure” We enjoyed our stay in Villa asri. It is modern, well appointed, comfortable and secured by a surrounding wall - not that we felt threatened in any way, quite the contrary. Penestanan is a wonderful village close to Ubud. It has a number of good cafe/restaurants, some with entertainment, and is surrounded by pretty interlaced pathways which take you through lush picturesque countryside. Our villa was serviced by 'houseboy' Kadek, who cleans, changes sheets and provides breakfast and has a delightful, unassuming personality. We used a motor bike to get to Ubud in approx 5-10 minutes, subject to traffic, and there is a taxi service close by. It is about a 20 minute walk. Our only problem was the internet connection but the villa manager, Steve, provided us with two modems from different providers which fixed it most of the time. Recommended for its fabulous location, comfort and amenities.

“Magnificent villa with beautiful jungle views” We recently stayed at Villa Indah and it was a fantastic holiday. The villa is located on the edge of a beautiful jungle valley with a river below. It is a short walk on a concrete pathway to many restaurants and cafes. The village of Penestanan is also known as "the young artist's village" and it is a fascinating area of Ubud to explore. The villa is new and maintained to a wonderful standard by the houseboy Wayan who was charming, meticulous and a wonderful cook (the omelettes were delicious). I will definately return to Villa Indah with my family. We were really impressed that the pool was fenced, thus making a totally safe environment for toddlers. The villa itself is beautiful with a well equipped kitchen, luxurious bed linen, wi-fi and cable T.V. The villa is fantastic value for the price.

“Super!” What a really great villa with stunning view! Loved staying here with my family. Brand new house, very nicely decorated, complete kitchen. Staff making the beds eveyday, cleaning and preparing breakfast. On request we enjoyed a great Balinese dinner. Villa is approx 2 km outside of bussy Ubud. Driver available on request. Would really recommend this villa, I can not think about Negative things. Maybe not recommended for people with very young children / babies, as there is a pond and a not fenced swimmingpool. Our 3 kids( primary school age) and we had a Great time and hope to be back soon!

“Romantic and serene” We stayed at Villa Sujati for 2 nights in April with our 4 month old baby. It was wonderfully peaceful and serene after the bustle of Seminyak and I only wish we could have stayed on for longer. The walk down the path through the paddy fields was lovely and not too much trouble even with our baby in a carrier and the surrounding noise of crickets, roosters, dogs etc were all distant and pleasantly added to the atmosphere. Whilst the villa is a little remote from the town centre there were plenty of great cafes and warungs within walking distance so we weren't left wanting. The 'staff' (and the owner, Ketut, in particular) were lovely, friendly and trips into town, a cot and even babysitting was organised at a moments notice. Downsides: the sheer curtains throughout do mean there's little chance of sleeping in as the bedrooms become flooded with light at dawn, but with a little baby there was none of that for us anyway. And despite being surrounded by rice paddies on all sides (think stagnant water) there were surprisingly very few mosquitoes - but they were present and they bit my defenseless little one. There weren't many of them but we had to create a makeshift mosquito net over his cot using one of the curtains to protect him. All in all, I'd very happily stay here again.

“Perfect villa for family” We have a wonderful stay at this magical villa. Staff were fantastic. Great place to stay for two families. Plenty of room for kids to play.

“Great Family Rental” We spent a month here with our adult children and grandson. It was really nice having two separate living spaces on two levels and the pool was lovely. We love staying in Penestanan...an easy walk into Ubud and much quieter. This is our fourth villa rental with Steve and we will be back!

“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!
