WONDERFUL property and what a delightful experience that the owners and staff have created. The owners and Jay were so responsive and attentive. We appreciated the location which was off the beaten track but walking distance to the beach, minimarts, and a handful of excellent warungs. The pool was perfect - impeccably maintained and the perfect spot for lounging, reading, and enjoying the noises of the geckos and birds. We loved watching the bats swoop over the pool at sundown. The sunsets are incredible from the beach across the street. We cannot say enough great things about the staff - Mahli and Mahni are so gracious and caring, unobtrusive but ever-present if anything is needed. They kept the place spotless! Ahdung was kind and it was nice to know that he was around overnight though the area feels quite safe. The layout and amenities were perfect - comfortable beds, spacious bathrooms, and we loved the indoor/outdoor feel of the great room. Kitchen was equipped well enough for basic cooking. Speaking of cooking, Jay set us up with a private chef, Wayan, who was so charming and made us a couple delicious Indonesian dinners. It was also nice to have Latif available for car service. Would highly recommend for couples and/or families - we truly enjoyed our 3 weeks at Villa Batu Sisi!

We spent almost a month here while doing some volunteer work in the area. Villa Batu Sisi became our comfort space with a very homely feel. Adung and Marley (onsite staff) were the highlights for us. Wonderfully friendly and no request was a problem for them. They took care of the house, our washing and cleaning and helped our boys husk coconuts and harvest mangoes. The Villa was fine but does need some attention and would benefit from renovation as it’s quite dated. The A/C is not very cold and had to be serviced while we were there. They probably need to be replaced. That said, Ann the owner said she was happy to get new units while we were there if we wanted. We just got used to the heat. A fresh coat of paint and bathroom renovations would go a long way to refresh this place. The building itself is quite impressive with traditional style exposed timber ceiling in the main area, locally made furniture and a very authentic feel. Located down a dirt lane way gives a very authentic rural feel and makes for a wonderfully private and quiet experience at night. Overall this villa held us well, but if you’re looking for luxury, wait until it’s renovated or look elsewhere.

We stayed at the villa for 4 nights over the weekend for the motor gp, our stay was great, Ann responded to me as soon as she could (time difference) Jay was fantastic and helped with alot the gardener/house keeper was very helpful looked after my mum when she wasnt well. Would definitely recommend stayong at this villa. Family friendly and very clean.. jay organised cooks to come to the villa too.
