10/10Villa Una was fantastic!! Such a wonderful location within easy walking distance to all the best parts of Seminyak. We stayed with 7 family members and had so much room for everyone.
9.8/10Our stay at Villa Una was fantastic. The villa was amazing always clean and well looked after with everything that we could have needed for our stay, the staff were very friendly and helpful. As it was our second time in Seminyak we loved the very close location of the villa to all of Seminyak with so many different place within walking distance. We would definitely stay at Villa Una again.
9.8/10Villa Una was better than we expected. The house itself is charming, with rustic wood, cool tiles and impeccable decor. We felt like we were living in a vogue magazine house. The garden was stunning, filled with ferns, palms and heavenly scented flowers. The masterpiece for us was the huge pool, always a welcome sight after returning home from shopping or dinner. The atmosphere was relaxed and charming. The bedrooms were beautiful, all with air-conditioning. The bathrooms were well thought out and being outside a delight, though the floor becomes very slippery when wet. The staff Desi and Putu could not do enough for us. Breakfast was simple but delicious. They were friendly and always happy. The only note I would say is the separate building with two bedrooms being close to the street was a little noisy, but we got over that with ear plugs. Being situated in the heart of seminyak it was easy access to shopping and a million fabulous restaurants and bars. Villa Una us a fantastic oasis if you are after the excitement that seminyak offers. Id go back in a heartbeat.
