Villa Phinisi

10/10

My family of 11, including 3 small children, stayed at this beautiful villa from 5th July for 8 nights. What a glorious time we had, and we were so beautifully looked after by the wonderful staff. The lagoon pool was an absolute highlight, and many wonderful family memories were created right here. The villa itself is just oozing with character and charm, and we all agreed that the photos do not do justice to this sensational place, which had been so thoughtfully, and tastefully decorated. The location could not be beaten, as it is just up the most gorgeous lane to the heart of Seminyak. For a larger family or group, we would go back and stay in a heartbeat, and only hope the opportunity presents itself in the future. Thank you to Anika, and all the staff for helping to create a holiday that dreams are made of. We will never forget your villa and your wonderful hospitality.

We enjoyed are very nice week at the villa with a group of 15 friends. The service was unbelievable despite 15 guys probably not being the easiest guests. The pool and garden are the absolute high lights of the villa. Location could not be better in the heart of Seminyak and around the corner of KuDeTa beach club. We can definitely recommend the villa for large groups!

Rooms are spacious and love the private pool. The helpers are great at cooking which we have enjoyed ourselves with local balinese cuisine. We will love to go back again

We travelled with a group of 8 people using just 4 of the 6 rooms. The house was spacious and never felt crowded. The pool is certainly a highlight and even though the beach is just a short walk away, we spent many afternoons and evenings at the pool instead. The house is right next to Ku De Ta and the big beach hotels, as well a market, cash machines and some great local places to eat. Its set just off the main road so is nice and quiet but just a short walk to other shops on the main streets. The massage room is a great idea and the staff arranged massages for us at home on the first day we arrived which was awesome. A massage at home was around just $12 for an hour - we did find them cheaper on the street, but the quality varied and wasnt as good or convenient as having them at the villa. The outdoor dining with fans was brilliant - especially on hotter days. Filtered water was supplied and we asked the staff to provide breakfast most mornings (Ask for the bananna or stawberry pancakes - yum!). We also had a party one night (with traditional balinese suckling pig) and chose to have dinner at home a few nights. This was delicious and well catered for - the staff have lots of menu ideas. It was hard to not eat out when eating at home was so easy. The staff who were on duty each day (and even the night guards) were very caring and helpful, always available and contientious. It was my first time in a staffed villa and I thought it might be weird having them around, but they weren't intrusive and we got used to the great service very quickly. We asked them to keep the fridge stocked with beer and softdrinks - and we provided a kitty which they settled with a receipt each day. It will help them if you are specific with what and how much you want them to buy. The WiFi worked throughout the house and we all had good connections - great for keeping in touch. Certainly a great home away from home with lots of good memories.

We took our families and friends to bali for our wedding. We got married in villa Phinisi and it was so beautiful. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The pool was amazing and everyone loved it. The staff are fabulous and very helpful, doing shopping and getting washing done. They make the best breakfast and we all loved the strawberry and banana pancakes. The chef is amazing, I highly recommend his meals. Had I known that he was so wonderful I would have asked him to cater our wedding, but I had already organised catering from Australia. Though ABC caterers were also very good and I would recommend them as a catering company to anyone who needs catering done. The security guard was wonderful, helping out those that wanted a quite night to get take out. The villa is close to markets and loads of fabulous restaurants. I can not speak highly enough of this villa and the staff. Highly recommend for families and groups of friends. We will be staying at this villa again with our family in the future. Stay here, you won't be disappointed. Thank you at all the villa staff for making our staff wonderful.

8.8/10

The villa, spaces and layout are perfect. For that price you can not find anything better nearby. The location is just beside kudeta and walking distance (10-15 minutes) to all the best shops/restaurant/bar in seminyak (motorbike is always better). the villa is just a bit old, so do not expect everything to be 100% working and have brand new equipement, but the overall experience was very good. they provide you 24h security, very kind staff, and the design of he pool is very nice. The villa is recommended for large groups especially because if you are more than 10 (we were 13) there's not many villa with that capacity in Bali. On the departure day they allowed us to use the garden, pool and shower until 7pm because our flight was late at night (given that there is no one else chekcing in on the same day). The staff can help you also to buy food/drinks at cheaper price (20% less that what you will find), and they help you with other things like finding transport, daily trips, renting bikes, etc... the reason of giving 4 instead of 5 are: - there was no hot water to shower (not a big issue, the water in bali is warm enough to shower without heating it). - on the back of the villa there s a space used as a temporary deposit for some construction, so starting at 8am there was a bit of noise in two of the 7 bedrooms.

We really loved this villa : perfect location, perfect size, very competent staff, very good food. We enjoyed the place so much that we had all our diners at the villa.

10/10

Excellent location with a top quality service (great food!). The pool is ideal with young kids and the garden space surprising large and quiet so close from the beach and KuDeTa. Everything needed is walking distance... Amazing place to chill & party at the same time!

kinda feel obligated to write something considering the fun we had at villa phinisi. it's been a week since we got home (singapore) and all we can talk about is how much we missed our time at bali. so, where do i start? kadek and ketut are quite possibly the best home cooks around. with an extensive menu, ranging from pasta and ribeye steak to babi guling and sambal pecel lele, they will painstakingly prepare whatever you want at a cost that's much cheaper than eating out (price of ingredients + additional 10%). and they are really darn good at what they do. we are usually smashed by the end of the night and the place can be quite a mess. every morning, the whole villa crew will clean up the place till it looks as good as new. fresh bed sheets and towels are always available on request. it's also the personal touch that goes along with their service; kadek helped me taped back a 100,000 idr bill that i've accidentally torn and removed a splinter from a friend's foot. it's the little things that make this place amazing. and have i mentioned that, the 2nd floor patio is right above the pool? shall leave it to your imagination what you can do with that

This villa has style! I have stayed in countless villas in Bali and must admit there is nothing like Phinisi: the villa looks like a boat! The services are top notch, the breakfast was just perfect (eggs and bacon are my favorite during holidays). Finally, I don't think you can get a better location in Seminyak: walking distance to everywhere... Highly recommended by a Bali regular.

8.8/10

Excellent place, and walking distance to Petitenget and Kudeta. You're on the main strip of Oberoi, 5 mins away from excellent dining regardless of budget and great shopping. If you're bored, just grab a scooter(staff can assist you with this) and just go around. The place itself is gorgeous and there is plenty of space to do nearly anything, play volleyball if you want. Beautiful fittings from wood. The whole outlay of the house feels like a ship.

I came here on a leaving do with a group of friends. We had the best time ever. We were impeccably looked after by Ketut and Kadek who made us the best breakfasts and made sure we were comfortable at all times during our stay. Booking this villa was seamless and I would definitely recommend this villa to anyone. Entering the villa made us feel like we had walked into a James Bond scene. My friends have already asked for the villa details and are planning a return trip. The villa was Near the beach shops and restaurants. In all, our stay here was amazing.
