“Most relaxing vacay ever! Gem on the Ocean.” Our family had such a wonderful time at Villa Talia Vashti. We were happy with the location (at first we thought it was too far away from everything) as it was quiet and we were able to get a true sense of Bali; not the Westernized side. The staff were friendly and they were there when we needed them, but did not hover. We felt pampered - every need & question was answered. Tom made a map of Snorkeling in front of the villa! My boys went out quite a bit and loved every minute! We dove Tulamben & Manta Bay - both fantastic dives! We ate breakfast in and dinner most of our time there at the Villa. Who could resist the amazing food and atmosphere only the Villa and staff could create. No grocery shopping, no cooking, no dishes or clean up - a Mom's dream! We did need a driver to get anywhere notable. There were many drivers (for approx $30 a day!!!) on hand. We took a couple day trips to Ubud, Kuta, Padang Bai, Water Palace, temples, ancient villages, and used the driver for lunch or dinner trips. Took us to see the monkeys, water rafting, etc. Highly recommend someone drive you as driving conditions are sketchy. We mostly used Wayan (a local there in Candi Dasa) - he is awesome! *Note: We are a family of 4 (boys 14y & 19y) - American Expats living in Sydney Au. So, by American and Aussie standards - a true gem! This was by far the best and most relaxing vacation we have ever taken. We will be back!

“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.

“Stunning view, spacious luxurious villa.” We stayed at villa Leana in Jan 2015 with a large group. The villa is awesome with stunning view from dining and living room making the stay very memorable. Each bedroom is massive, the bathroom is so spacious and the beds are so comfortable. The pool is a bit small for us as we had 11-12 people all swimming at the same time but we had fun regardless. There's no shallow part for kids unfortunately. But my kids all brought swimming floaties so it's fine. But the view from the pool made up for the size as it was absolutely stunning from up there. Relaxing on the lazy beach chair was great! The hosts are so friendly and they all speak English well. They welcomed us in the middle of the night and send us off at dawn with a smile. They were always very willing to do whatever we asked. The bedroom gets cleaned daily. There's fresh pool towel whenever we come home in the evening and we never got any complaint about the noise we made while swimming at midnight. Breakfast is typical Aussie breakfast but they're well prepared including toasts bacon eggs sausages fruits and cereals. We ordered fried rice for breakfast and A few of us had a small lunch at the villa consisting of satay rice gado2 and fried chicken and the food were delicious and only costs us a fraction of the shop's pricing. Distance from the main road is not too far as well. We stayed in the same area not long ago but it was further and more isolated. So for the view we get, the villa distance is fairly good. On the way to the villa there are plenty of nice street food (martabak, satay, etc) and restaurants worth visiting such as Fat Chow and the 'martabak' pop up shop outside Warung satay club. Overall we were very happy with our stay and would highly recommend villa Leana.

“Beautiful and Peaceful Villas” Absolutely beautiful location on a hill overlooking a mountain range in Ubud. I enjoyed relaxing in the lounge, dining and infinity pool area which looks out onto the mountain range. Very peaceful ambience with water flowing throughout the property. The rooms are spacious with an outdoor bathroom / shower and the whole property is completed to a high specification. The staff are very friendly and courteous and the food is delicious. The perfect place to relax and get away from it all.

“Bali tranquility at its best:)” Easy Check In - Wayan picked me up from airport - super efficient and helpful. Owners- Benjamin and Made went out of there way to help me and made my stay an enjoyable one. Villa - fantastic pool - must only be 6 months old, well maintained garden. Fantastic interior designed villa, felt very luxurious with double bed, air con, awesome bathroom and living area. I would highly recommend this villa!

“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.

“Ubud Paradise” Upon arrival, I was blown away by how gorgeous the Villa was! The vibe and environment was so completely in sync with the spirit of Bali, I felt completely at peace and zen. The location was perfect, far enough away from the tourist throng and pollution and yet close enough to zoom into Ubud town for dinner and a drink. I cannot recommend it highly enough. 5 stars all round!

“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.

“Great Location, Price and Great Holiday in Bali!” We have been to Bali on several family holidays but never stayed at a villa before but always will from now on! We were picked up at the airport and then greeted by Kadek the staff at the villa even though after midnight with welcome drinks and a couple of things we requested waiting for us! The villa was really comfortable and much less than other villas which was important for us for a holiday on a budget. The kids loved the pool and the villa was well equipped with everything we needed. Kadek the housekeeper was great and always had everything clean even if the kids made a mess! Steve the owner helped out by making everything easy and organising some drivers and tours which we very recommend Wayan for as he was brilliant! Thanks so much also for the gift for our childrens birthday it made it a special birthday in Bali for Emily :) See you all again soon!

“First Rate...Excellent Staff, We'll be Back...Highyly Recomnended” We stayed at Villa Kaira Estate for a week in late May. Stunning large beachfront location and the photos on the website don't do it justice to be honest. Wayan the chef was sensational and was sensitive to a couple of guests who were fussy eaters, all his food was delicious. Definitely do the seafood bbq. Rest of the staff were super friendly and helpful and special mention to the driver Ketut who drove us everywhere and was very knowledgeable. He booked various restaurants and activities for our group too so it was all made super easy. We made use of the Canggu Club membership with the excellent water park and bounce trampoline park, our kids of various ages loved it! The booking process was efficient and easy, Craig was very helpful in installing some extra beds for the younger kids who all wanted to be in the same bedroom. All in all, a fantastic stay and we plan to return same time next year, we all can't wait. Thank you!

“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...

“Bohemian Hideaway” First off let me say that Boyd is a great host! He answered all of our questions and made the process of renting his Villa super easy. After we arrived he helped us with coordinating car rentals and also gave us tips on where to go. He's been in Bali for so long and knows the island really well. From restaurants to clubs to sightseeing he's a great resource. Second, the location of Villa Bohemia is awesome. It's off the main road but set back enough that you have a very quiet and serene environment. Easy to find and perfect cause it is central to everything. Plus, there is a big 24 hour convenience store within 5 minutes walking distance so you never run out of supplies. Getting a taxi is super easy too, cause the main street is full of them. We went to Kuta for less than 3 dollars. Third, price is great for the value you get. There is a small pool with a waterfall, nice kitchen, beautiful garden and patio area. The bedrooms are spacious and the a/C is cool. Tv is nice and so is the stereo system. Place is super clean and marble floors aren't too shabby! It's really well decorated and feels cozy comfortable and upscale all at the same time. Overall our 1 week stay at Villa Bohemia was wonderful. Thank you Boyd and we had a wonderful trip and

“Idyllic Villa Pantai in charming Candidasa” What a wonderful way to spend Easter with a cherished friend. Villa Pantai in Candidasa gave us memories that we will always hold very close to our hearts. The villa itself is beautiful and the staff are a delight and made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The views are breathtaking whether it be from the bedrooms or the main entertaining area. It was such a treat to be welcomed by the sound of crashing waves and to be lucky enough to see dolphins swim by as we were enjoying a gorgeous breakfast. Thank you for such a wonderful stay, I hope one day to return.
