About this house rental

Situated in Abiansemal, this attractive house for R 2,626 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Rumah Cinta, meaning the House Made of Love, is a large open-air home atop a ridge in Penestanan, at the edge of Ubud, close to the Camphuan Hotel. From the third story tower, you can see the sunrise, the sunset, volcanoes to the north, and the sea to the south. The rooms are large and airy, with large windows and doors that slide back to let the breezes through. The first floor great room is large and beautifully furnished, with a living area and a reading nook with a view of the gardens and pool, and a Balinese-style kitchen: refrigerator, two-propane burners, but NO OVEN. The house is equipped with some cooking utensils and dishes, though the Balinese are such good cooks, you should rarely cook for yourself!! The two downstairs bathrooms -- one off the great room and one off the downstairs bedroom -- are in lovely walled gardens with statuary and tropical plants. The second-floor primary queen bedroom, which faces west for beautiful evening skies, has 2 decks with large sliding doors, an open-air bathroom, and a stairway to the tower and rooftop viewing area. Also upstairs is a second queen bedroom with an indoor half-bath. Artistic touches are everywhere you look, both in the house and out. There are paintings by local artists, Indonesian carvings, carved wood and stone around windows and doors, high thatched ceilings and beautiful rock and tile work, all hand done. This home is designed to be one with the outdoors, so even more beauty awaits you outside, where the gardens are dense but well tended, two temples protect the property, and the infinity-edge swimming pool offers a cool, calm retreat both daytime and at night. There are a toilet and a shower by the pool, in addition to the 4 bathrooms inside the house. IMPORTANT -- PLEASE NOTE: 1) This home sits on a walking path high on a ridge -- its closest access from the main road is a flight of about 100 stairsteps. There are 3 other ways to get to the house, which involve many fewer stairsteps but longer paths from the road -- perhaps a 10-minute walk. 2) The house is designed to take advantage of the outdoors. It is outfitted with thick walls and breezy with ceiling fans, but it is not air-conditioned. And because I don't spray poisons on my land, you may have some geckos or other harmless critters pass through occasionally. .Please DO NOT RENT THIS HOUSE if any of these things will make you unhappy or uncomfortable.

This villa is outstanding! The location is so magical and awesome; walking thru the little trails to get to and from the villa was so rad. The house is perfect; the beds are wonderful; the pool is sooo refreshing and the grounds are so peaceful. We loved every minute we stayed here. The staff was fantastic; Made and her family were so helpful; I loved them. And Ubud is super cool. Walking distance to fun shops and great restaurants. I give ALL the stars! I cannot wait to go back. Thank you, Brooke, Made, Juli, everyone for being so warm and inviting. This home is truly a special gem! Tirema kasih😊🙏

An idyllic and peaceful vacation retreat in the best section of Ubud. The house garden and pool are beautifully designed and I was so comfortable staying within easy walking distance of everything important. The sunrise and sunset views from the top of the house are unparalleled in the neighborhood. This is a truly stunningly gorgeous house and I count myself extremely fortunate to have had a chance to vacation here. My hosts were perfect in their support and service to me. I am so grateful. I hope to return. Thank you.

Super house in an excellent location on the edge of Ubud. Right next door to Intuitive Flow yoga. Easy to get around and wandering the narrow walkways a highlight of the area. Very helpful staff. The pics on the listing don’t do it justice. One if the best views you will get in Ubud from the tower. If you can’t handle stairs it would be a challenge. Would definitely stay again.

This villa is gorgeous - difficult to get to with no car access and a decent amount of steps to get up but once you're there it doesn't matter as you never want to leave! Huge bedrooms, incredible outdoor bathrooms, great pool and outdoor dining room...it really is a very special place! And Ketut the manager and Juli the driver are amazing and will make anything happen for you - from in-villa massages and dinners to tours wheverever you want to go! Brilliant stay and brilliant people...just wish we were there longer!

The property itself is beautiful although it could do with some mosquito plug ins around the house as they’re a lot of open to the outside window surrounds etc. It is good for a group of friends or families with older children who want to hang out at the pool which was lovely. We wanted to spend time in Ubud and it was challenging to get taxis. We did the forty minute walk three times and it was a little hard particularly going back from Ubud and when it was dark/raining. I would also recommend that the description of the property includes the fact that you will be potentially going up and down a long flight of stairs whenever you want to go to Ubud. Note that the traffic over Christmas is horrendous so this place is better for those who can get mopeds or walk longer distances, as varied food options in the area are limited unless you are vegetarian/vegan. The housekeeping/management staff were super and Made in particular looked after me when I got terrible food poisoning on New Year’s Eve. Her brother was great too arranging trips and airport transfers and stayed very calm when we got stuck in Ubud traffic for over an hour!

This place was a peaceful heaven in one of the oldest parts of Ubud. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a lovely spot to discover the town. With a yoga studio beside the villa and the Yellow Flower cafe just 100metres from the front door - one of the best cafes in Ubud. The staff were exceptional and made us feel at home.

My wife and I stayed here for 2 amazing weeks for our honeymoon. The house itself is more than big enough for a group, downright luxurious for a couple. We enjoyed the pool immensely. Loved the outdoor spaces, eating area, lounge platform next to the pool. Made was an absolute gem of a house manager. Breakfasts were so tasty and freshly prepared. She kept the place spotless and was so helpful with laundry as well. The neighborhood is so lovely with a couple eateries like Yellow flower cafe so close by. The stairs are something to consider only if you're really out of shape or really lazy. The place is truly an oasis. We genuinely can't wait to go back there!
