The space

Guests have told us that Villa No.1 is a real home away from home, tucked away in its own private fenced garden, surrounded by beautiful frangipanis and bougainvillea.

Digital nomads particularly love the large working desk overlooking the garden and equipped with hi-speed WiFi and an Ethernet cable.

Readers will enjoy the extensive collection of classic and esoteric books in multiple languages.

Home cooking here is a joy in the spacious kitchen equipped with a range of oils, grains and condiments that you are free to use. We provide both a blender and a juicer, and why not experiment with our Moroccan Tagine ?

Just want to relax ? Enjoy the verandah watching the squirrels play in the frangipani trees, sipping wine or Prosecco from the collection of goblets and champagne flutes that we provide.

NB: As our pool is down a steep staircase and is not fenced our rooms are NOT suitable for children or disabled people.

Guest access

All our guests are free to use our Riverside pool – If there are other guests we ask that you use the pool only between the hours of 10am to 7pm so as not to disturb them. If however you are the only riverside guests (Sudi will tell you !) then feel free to use the pool at your leisure !

At the entrance to the Villas there is a little horticultural paradise. The whole 150 sqm Organic Permaculture garden is yours to enjoy including the beautiful Bale and hammock. If you are interested in gardening then just ask Kadek for his tips on composting, mulching and companion planting as he loves to share.

Other things to note

Start your mornings with a traditional Espresso from our little Italian macchinetta.

Only 3 minutes walk from Yoga Barn and 5 minutes walk from Monkey Forest, our Villas are a great place to be if you don’t want to rent a motorbike as you can walk everywhere in Central Ubud. Being right next to ARMA museum (the venue for the Ubud Jazz Festival in August) it is a short stroll to ARMA’s main stage where cultural dances are held nightly. The street has an amazing range of cuisine available from many local Warungs to Greek, Argentinian, Japanese, Tex-Mex, Malaysian Fusion, Thai, Korean, French and 3 Italian restaurants…. which is why this end of town is sometimes called Little Italy.

Need some shopping ? Just ask Suci or her daughters as they pass the Villa and head for the market every morning to buy flowers for the offerings that day. In fact why not join them at the market and let them advise you on all the local fruits and spices, and ask them for a cooking class for a truly Balinese experience ?

My parents Sudi and Suci live on site and are just 100 metres down the path should you need any help or advice. My father Sudi spent 20 years as a professional tour guide so has a wealth of knowledge on where to visit in Bali, and can explain in simple terms the Balinese culture and traditions that surround you. He can organise motorbike hire or a car should you need it, and Suci will be happy to teach you Balinese cooking.

Why not pop down and hang out with her and her family to help in making the 1000s of offerings that are prepared every day for ceremonies ?
