Everything was amazing, from the communication, transport, location and the villa itself. We felt pampered and literally cried when we had to go home. Our driver Kadek gave us fabulous suggestions on places to visit in the area and kept us safe in the busy traffic. He shared stories and helped us to understand the area better and we loved him. Kadek the manager showed us the village and local homes, we were able to visit cows and pigs and chickens and learn about customs and the local temples. She arranged for wonderful Balinese massages as well and we loved those so much! Nyoman the night security was so sweet and I enjoyed our early morning chats :) Putu the gardener kept everything neat and tidy and brought us fresh coconuts and always had a friendly smile each day. Putu our beautiful caretaker, master chef, oh we miss her so much. She MADE our stay. More than the incredible view of the ocean and the beautiful surroundings, Putu made us feel at home. I cannot even begin to describe what an amazing person she is. She was open and friendly and loving and so very sweet! She has an incredible sense of humour and loved joking with us. My kids adored her (theyâre 18 and 20) and honestly is 100% the reason we did not want to leave. I would stay here again in a heart beat
We enjoyed our 3 weeks at this villa. The cook, Putu was an absolute joy. Sheâs a good cook, easy and helpful. Puti, also cooks with some of the worst pots and pans I have ever seen. She smiles through it all
The pillows are terrible, and need to be replaced with down like pillows made of Dacron or polyester.
The manager has her family employed as massage therapists and they are inexperienced and not good at their jobs.
We loved our stay mainly because Putu made it feel like home and we would stay again.
What can you say about Putu that hasnât been said before? She is an intelligent woman who speaks good English and can cook! We had some disabilities during our stay. She did shopping for us. She made up our room as needed,(upon our request). She has an incredible sense of humor. Loves a good laugh. Always a smile on her face. We tried to get her to agree to come home with us. (;-)
Driver Cadek is there when you have transportation needs. He has great driving skills. He listens carefully before answering questions. He was a big help in carrying luggage, and groceries. He helped in interpreting as well. He was fun to have around.
The gardener Putu Sree kept the property swept up and the pool clear which we were in and out of all the time.
Cadek the manager was quite prompt to respond to every request made. She took me to a ceremony and explained what was going on. Her English was very good. I got to get a shirt on.
Looking for something quiet and the best staff? This is the place! There were 9 family members that stayed here and was fantastic, except the location is far from everything especially Ubud and south. Itâs a 3.5th drive from the airport. Lots of stuff to do is south so just be prepared to be an all day adventure.
We canât say enough about the house and staff, the house is beautiful and the cook is amazing, we wanted to bring her home!
