Beachvilla, full staff,cook, car +driver, massages included. Large private pool. - Villa Nirwana

My 1st time to Bali! I have rented many homes from VRBO and HomeAway and up until this rental never had an issue- the pictures don’t describe how close the property is to another rental & I didn’t think it would be a problem when we were informed 4 adults were checking in the day after we arrived, until I realized it was not just 4 adults, it was 4 adults with a child that completely disturbed our quiet, peaceful villa on the beach!! Obviously this other group of people had not been screened or the owners did not care about the situation. Also, no steps that provide access to the beach which I would have expected to be able to walk along because they had been in disrepair for a very long time! The constant bug invasions in bedrooms, kitchen and outdoor spaces, particularly ants, made it very unpleasant along with the crying & whining of the child next door was out of control- we ended up leaving 4 days early than what I had prepaid for with a NO REFUND policy! This is really a nice home as far as outdoors but clearly needs better management so ALL GUESTS are satisfied- not just one of the property guests or don’t rent them both out at once! I am sorry to write this review and I would have expected some accommodation made to me by the owner when she learned we left 4 days early and the reason why! Not a good way to do business.

From the beginning, booking was a breeze and had prompt contact with the owner.

The villa itself has a Great outdoor area and pool space. It's off the beaten track so no traffic noise at all and although you have neighbours either side, we barely heard them.

Airy rooms and comfortable beds, good kitchen space and lounge

Lovely staff, although note they are there most of the day unless you specifically say you do not require anything from them

Nothing really negative to say I guess other than we were limited to one room as the aircon was so noisy in our original one and it broke twice.

Would definitely return

The villa was beautiful and clean. We had our food on the terrace with a nice ocean view. The staff was very sweet and even cooperative with my gluten allergy. Also they arranged a scooter that we could use to drive to Lovina and a van that dropped us off at the airport. Overall a lovely peaceful place to stay at!

This was our second time staying at Villa Nirwana and we were not disappointed. Ari and her helper Puto were lovely, helpful and made our stay very special. Nothing was too much ttrouble. The food is basic Indonesion but very enjoyable and such a treat to be cooked for, every meal. Ari would buy whatever we fancied and was always done with a friendly smile. We dodnt have any issues with bats or noise from the Mosque, it all added to the culture of the island. The bat poo was cleaned up before we were out of the villa daily. The gardens are kept immaculate by the gardener who is happy to get you a fresh coconut if you want one. Having been before we only took the transport into Lovina once and I would agree with other comments that it is more expensive than others but it it safe and road worthy transport. We had arranged with a young man we had met from Candidasa to take us to the airport, it was a lot cheaper than the villa transport. We were just fortunate to have met him earlier on in our Bali holiday as we only spent the last week of our 3weeks at Villa Nirwana. We would say the this is an ideal place to relax.

The description and photos on this listing are very accurate. This property is clean and well maintained by the staff and nothing was too much effort for them, a beautiful team of Balinese Nationals. Anneeke was very prompt with her responses to ALL my questions and MANY requests and everything ran very smoothly form pick-up in Ubud to being dropped back at the airport.

I would highly recommend this villa to anyone who wants off the beaten track Bali, the view is beautiful, but the sea not so clean, with quite a strong undercurrent when we visited in September.

We did a day trip to Manjengan Island for snorkelling, a trip in to the local town for the night food market and to see a local festival, otherwise made good use of the villa facilities.
