Stunning peaceful villa near heart of Ubud! Beautiful hosts!

I stayed for 8 nights. The location was walking distance to centre, daily house keeping, beautiful environment, the private pool which is quite deep, friendly staff (Wayan). The fully functioning outdoor kitchen with a view - cooking breakfast everyday was a treat. For those wondering, it’s not 100% private as next door’s house’s second floor has a big window over looking the compound

1. It advertised as having a washing machine, which was one of reasons I chose this place, since I’m travelling for 3.5 weeks. But it doesn’t have any on location - they can send your laundry for you at a price though. So I don’t understand why it says “this place boasts a washing machine” when it clearly doesn’t. It’s false advertising and the owner needs to change the description. 2. There are two large dogs which were mostly asleep during the day but are active at night. They live in the main villa but played in the main compound - I had to go through the main compound to get to my villa. One of the nights 1 dog got aggressive with me when I tried to enter the gate. It advanced towards me in a threatening manner, GROWLING and barking and tried to chase me away. It was very scary and I got traumatized. Another time it chased the gojek driver who dropped me off (and I managed to run to my villa’s entrance before it noticed me). Every time after that I had to text Wayan just before I arrive at or leave the villa, to ensure she keeps the dogs inside the main villa and not bother me when I was passing through. Which was quite bothersome. I would have rated this place 10/10 if not for these two factors

The ambiance and staff

Nothing that I didn’t like

Privacy. Exclusive pool. Quiet. Comfortable. Nice gardens. Lovely host.

Access to town centre. Some minor issues with tv/access and owners dogs need to be cleaned up after a bit more diligently. Transport not easy to arrange.
