   “Supperb holliday in Bali with great food and ralaxation”

   We arrived late and dark at the villa. Beautifully light, gave a superb first impression. There were various people waiting to show us around and give us details of the operations at the villa. Very helpful Ika (Villa Getaway representative) and Myriam (Villa Manager). The villa is splendid, very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The whole booking process had also been flawless with Mahdavi of Villa Getaways being extremely helpful. Next day we met the fabulous Nana, the chef. Unfortunately we did not get to eat in too often as we were diving many days and going out to dinner regularly. Nevertheless, the times we did, the food was exquisite. We asked Nana to cook local dishes, both seafood and meat, She has a wonderful repertoire and was always delicious. We would settle on the menu the day before. Rest of the staff also very helpful, unobtrusive (mostly) and flexible. The driver assigned to us for the 2 weeks was Tio and also a gem. Security was good, helpful and unobtrusive. Viilla was cleaned and serviced everyday like a 5 star hotel.

   Facilities are very comfortable with very nice bedrooms, each with a TV (we did not use…could not tune in the European Futbol Championships!!), and bathroom. The pool is great and the various sofas, hammocks, etc… fantastic for relaxation. Kitchen seemed fine and fairly well equipped. A great Expresso machine!!

   The villa description is however, somewhat misleading. The ”private” bridge to the beach is not private at all, as the villa has no direct access to the beach. You have to exit the property and walk by the local beach bar. It is a rickety bamboo bridge, somewhat unstable crossing a fairly filthy lagoon. Beach great for walking. Also, pictures on the web give the impression of a much bigger garden (they were taken before the property was split in 2). Nevertheless, the whole experience was fantastic.

   “Wonderful Bali Retreat Villa”

   Went on a trip to Bali with friends. First visit for all of us. Found this wonderful villa on the Vrbo website and reserved as it was a beach location. We were pleasantly surprised upon our arrival. Tranquil and beautifully manicured grounds. Sleeping quarters clean, comfortable, and spacious. Staff warm, inviting, and friendly. Set away from main roads and all you have to do to be on the beach is exit complex and walk across bridge. Time their was very comfortable and rejuvenating. I would definitely choose to stay here again.

   “Heaven of serenity”

   I was there in July. When I awoke my first morning at Bungadesa Villa, I felt that I was in the presence of elegance and serenity I had always craved in my life. Everything is perfect and refined into details here. It is located in the most desirable area of the city far from the noise just with Mother Nature and the ocean. Only two steps away from the beach and 10mn away by car from the vivid Seminyak. The staffs are so cheerful that they make you feel part of the family. The cook Nana is accomplished and makes you eat more that you would wish with a big smile. All her food is very fresh and her dishes are delicious and tasty. No fat, only fruits, plenty of fruits, veggies, fish or meat according to your request. In addition, the staffs are all but smile like the owner, Corinne. They are just the mirror of happiness and serenity. I very much recommend the heavenly destination.

   “Beautiful villas, very nice garden, spectacular staff.”

   We have been at least 10 times in Bali in the last 10 years, but always stayed in a hotel. This time, with 5 teenagers around, we tried something new. And we loved it. The Villas are very nice, well and thoughtfully decorated, comfortabel, great beds, nice linens,nice towels, everything very tasteful and luxurious.

   The view is great , the waves in the back, the sound.The garden is so nicely done, we just loved being there. The staff was just great, very ,very good cooks. They made a fantastic Rijstafel for us. Our friends used to live in Indonesia and we had all kinds of indonesian food, made upon request, but also my son wanted a special Mexican dish and it was bought and cooked for us.

   The houses were clean, well kept and maintenanced. If there was any kind of problem, it was immediately taken care of. The proximity to Seminyak and all its great restaurants and shops is perfect. Just a short drive and you are in the middle of everything. The only drawback is the walk to the beach( not because it is far, it is more the garbage you have to pass), and the beach could be cleaner as well.The waves are spectacular and we took very long, nice walks in both directions.
