I stayed in Villa 01 (4 bedroom villa) from 18-25th July with my husband and two young children (6 and 8 years) & another family (children 4 and 2 years). I could not recommend these villas more highly. Location - is sensational, more or less in wedged between the famous Seminyak shops and the beach. Despite the cracking location, the villa still enjoys reasonably quiet surrounds, being set back many laneways from main roads. Motorbikes here and there can be heard at most hours, but you can still hear frogs and birds. The beach is 5 minutes walk, and the shops are about a 10 minute walk. Villas - the villas are well-appointed, beautifully-maintained and are replete with many fine pieces of art. They are architecturally designed with landscaped gardens and it shows. Sleep quality was excellent. The outdoor bathrooms were lovely and immaculate. Staff - the staff are extremely kind, attentive, diligent and conscientious. All the details are taken care of. They even make sure that the pool and garden maintenance people come in at the same time as housekeeping, to minimise the duration of intrusion. Housekeeping come twice a day and can also spray for bugs if desired (we opted out). Room service is available, slightly slow but extremely high-quality and delicious food, and no slower than the Conrad Hotel in Nusa Dua (also quite slow). I could not possibly fault the staff. Breakfast - is optional and is cooked and served in-villa with multiple delicious options. The freshly-cut fruit is amazing. There is also an in-room BBQ option - likewise sensational and personally prepared by the chef. Design - the tiles are very slippery for little ones (and perhaps big ones!). This is a live issue, since the slippery tiles are next to the pool. However, the staff placed a "pathway" of slip-proof mats around the perimeter of the pool for us - a godsend, thank you. Space - wow, you will not be lacking for space. The largest space I have stayed in in Bali. I am sure renting some houses would be bigger again, but this is very large for a villa. The wifi - The wifi is fast and works well in all the spaces of the villa! We could easily stream and download. Water - a water cooler is provided free of charge - actually it is an Electrolux unit that dispenses hot, cold and room-temperature water. The water bottles are replaced as needed. SO much better than going through scores of individual bottles of water (as at the Conrad). (Note that the advice is not to drink untreated water anywhere in Bali). Hot tip unrelated to villa - download the Bluebird app for lightning-quick arrival of Bluebird (very professional / clean / new) taxis for reasonable pre-arranged fees. Wish I'd discovered this sooner.
