Retirees relaxation!
2 couples in our 60’s stayed 5 nights in this beautiful villa. Lovely bedrooms and bathrooms - but kitchen area was a bit outdated ( not that it mattered to us as Ita and Desak did all the cooking for us! There’s no indoor sitting area other than the dining table, but there’s a fantastic outdoor living room which is very comfortable.
The pool was wonderful and a perfect warm temperature . Great views out to the black sand beach and ocean.
The gardener came by every morning to trim, rake dropped leaves and clean the pool - amazing! (There was some mossy mildew on some of the patio area which could use a power wash …. but hey - it’s Bali …. EVERYTHING thrives here!!!)
Ita and Desak the housekeeper and cook were an absolute delight. Their English is good so we were able to communicate with them on menus. The dinners they prepared for us were some of the best meals we ate throughout Bali.
Unfortunately we only met the manager Budi once as he was sick during our visit.
Now to our driver - Darma! If Paul and Melanie offer you a private car with driver …… Take them up on this offer. Darma was fantastic- his English is excellent ( he even teaches the children in the village to speak English ). You do need a car in this area - it’s quite remote - 15 minutes drive to the closest town and grocery stores, 10 minute drive to the closest restaurant. Darma drove us to many beautiful waterfalls in the area, along with some other local places of interest . ⭐
