This is a unique private villa which blends traditional Asian style with modern comfort. It is unashamedly 'old Bali', standing out from the crowd of minimalist concrete and glasses villas. There are generous common areas, including a dining verandah and half an acre of magnificent tropical gardens. The verandah overlooks the garden and infinity pool which has loungers and pool chairs for six.
Look at the 51 (genuine) reviews to see what people love about the place and why we have received 5 stars every year for the last 17 years! Guests rave about our fantastic staff who will look after you handsomely during your stay. May you never cook, clean or wash up unless you want to!
A few kms from the bustle of Canggu and Perenan beachfronts, this is a great best place to relax, enjoy local culture and be pampered like never before! Perfect for large families, small families and especially recommended for couples wanting privacy.
You might never want to leave the villa, with its pool and unique extensive tropical gardens. But the beaches, cafes and resturants of Pererenan and Canggu are only 10 mins away, and this is an excellent base for exploring upcountry Bali, including the world famous rice terraces of Jetiluwih (45 mins), the cultural centre of Ubud (50 mins), and the volcanoes, waterfalls and lakes of Bedugul (1 hour). We can arrange all the transport for you - whether you want a car and driver or to self-drive car or scooters.

The location is perfect for those seeking a taste of local Balinese culture away from the traffic and noise of the main tourist areas (although you might sometimes hear the ceremonies at the local temples and other local events at the football pitch up the road).
The bustling and trendy tourist areas of Canggu and Pererenan are 10-15 mins away. Here you can find many boutiques, cafes, bars, patisseries, organic markets and supermarkets catering to all possible needs. Also plenty of bars and nightlife close to the beach,.
