Tranquility & Pool On Temple Land - Edge Of Ubud

A lovely property ideal for a family of four or less. We loved having our own pool and space to relax. The location is good if you are happy to be outside of Ubud, it is a 30 minute walk to the centre along the busy road. The nearest supermarket is 20 mins walk along a pleasant footpath away from the road. The area has lots of restaurants, shops and cafes which are great to explore.

We did not meet the owner/manager but we were in touch on the phone.

Overall a lovely stay in a beautiful property. We would recommend this property to people looking for a peaceful stay outside of Ubud.

Laba Desa Villa is an extremely, delightfully private home, tucked away on the outskirts of Ubud, near Penestanan. Like a secret hideaway, there is no signage or indication that this little oasis exists. The home is well appointed, well designed, totally private and serene. Our host, Ketut arranged for pickup and transfer to the villa and tours throughout our stay. Although there are conveniences within walking distance, a scooter rental opened up the entire spectrum of offerings in Ubud. Our first visit to Ubud was a delight and we can't wait to return.

First of all, the fact that Robin, the owner, contacted me personally via email to keep communication timely was a bonus. And the description was very accurate to what was provided. Bali Buddha Villa was extremely clean and well-maintained. Made our cook and house cleaner was so sweet, lovely and warmed up to us quickly and did a good job with breakfast every morning and housekeeping.

We lucked out with our driver as the usual driver was who provides transportation for Bali Buddha Villa had a cremation ceremony to attend. Made Suweta was not only a great driver, but a fabulous and knowledgeable guide and now new friend. I loved that he shared his culture, his religious ceremonies, and his world with us. Made took great care of my Ibu, my friend and me.

We loved this property! We loved it so much we didn't want to leave and actually came back for a second round later in our stay. The rooms were nicely decorated, the beds spacious and comfortable and there always was plenty of hot water for showers.

There was a lovely private pool that I enjoyed every morning. And Cleopatra, the sweet and snuggly house kitty was a definite bonus!

During our stay, there was a little bit of all night work on the property next door. But next the day after I mentioned something to them, they stopped working before we went to bed. I was very grateful.

We loved the location, out of the craziness of Ubud, but close enough to take short taxi rides downtown, if needed. Although, it was a challenge for delivery food people to find us, we laughed at my butchering the Indonesian language as I read off the directions on how to get to Bali Buddha Villa that were so graciously provided to us. Nonetheless, the restaurants eventually found us.

I would highly recommend this lovely place to anyone and hope to visit again soon!

We were two couples meeting from other sides of the earth in Ubud Bali and we really loved staying at the villa. The staff were incredible and the location was perfect for us - close enough to Ubud without being on a main road or right in the heart of things so it wasn't too noisy. One of us had stayed in Penestanan in 2008 and she really noticed the change and development along the strip, if one didn't want to wander too far from the villa it is now possible not to do so and still get excellent food nearby. We really enjoyed the pool of course, but also the outdoor bathrooms, but every aspect of the property was exactly as we hoped for. The staff however were the icing on the cake, the Balinese in general are super friendly, and Ketut and family were no exception.

One of us also did yoga at Intuitive Yoga every day and really enjoyed that. Our favourite day was hiring mopeds and going north through the rice fields to the water temple and Ganung Kawi.

Thanks so much, we had a great reunion.

My husband and I visited and stayed in several homes as we hunted for a long-term rental in Ubud, and Laba Desa was by far the best. It is comfortable, clean, tranquil, and totally private (hard to find in the area), yet just on the outskirts of Ubud, with cafés and restaurants a short stroll away. We loved the outdoor living, and most of all the attention to detail, quality of materials, and beautiful craftsmanship of the home. The reservation process was simple, and we were wonderfully taken care of by our local hosts, Ketut and Made.
