From the sleepy traditional village where the villa is found, surrounded by raw rainforests and rice paddies, a short drive takes you to Ubud centre, where you can visit art galleries, eat healthy food, practise yoga at The Yoga Barn and wonder around in the Monkey Forest. In the evening, you can watch a traditional Kecak dance in the Ubud Palace.

Villa Melati is incredible! The pictures don't do it justice! The views are glorious, in fact, they are similar to what you see from the Ritz Carlton and Four Seasons next door/down the street, but even better. Plus, you are all by yourself, surrounded by magnificent Balinese architecture, furnishings, and special touches. To make a marvelous stay even better, the staff is fantastic. It feels more like staying with a favorite aunt vs. someone who is hired to take care of you. The home cooking is unbelievable - we were treated to a banquet of the most glorious Indonesian food each night. Can't recommend Villa Melati highly enough.

We had a very pleasant stay. The staff were fantastic. The house it’s self needs some serious renovation work. For 3 days of our stay 1 room had no hot water and the Rice Barn had no hot water for 2 days. Cupboards don’t open properly and the kitchen is extremely outdated. The chefs don’t even have a toaster, which is very time consuming for them. I want to especially say how well we were looked after by the staff. Staff were fantastic.

Wonderful villa in traditional Balinese style. The ‘inclinator’ from the parking to the villa was always great fun. We were looked after like royalty by the friendly and competent staff, with special mention of Baiyu, Comang and Gus. Meals were delicious especially the famous suckling pig we enjoyed on Christmas Day. Ubud was much busier than we remembered but to make up the quality of the better restaurants was outstanding. For a big night then Mozaic or Locavore were world class. Villa finder and the property owner looked after us perfectly.

The villa is little bit outside of Ubud (next to top hotels like Como, Aman,..) so it is quite but at the same time not very far from the center. The villa is very well maintained in an amazing site. The staff is very nice. We spent an amazing time! Highly recommended.

The villa is located in a very nice place with a fantastic view towards the inner Bali jungle. The area is taken care of very well and the staff is super friendly. There were only two minor criticisms about the place. First the pool is built with natural stones which sometimes leads to scratches on the skin and you can't really get out elegantly since there are no stairs to exit. And second, the AC in one of the rooms smelled a little. Besides that, the experience was marvelous and we would definitely return.

This villa is beyond expectations, looks more beautiful in reality than in photo. Rooms are beautiful and spacious, view to the jungle and the pool is great. The villa staff really take care of us and everything is comfortable. A two lovely girls there cooked for us and delicious. We had dinner twice in the villa and also breakfast both are excelent. They cook what you want : Indonesian, international ... I highly recommend this villa.

Down the steep to Villa Melati, then out fans the pool spectacularly, the decor so tasteful, the staff are so helpful, and what a magnificent magical view! Then out to the countryside, temples and villages, steep ravines, mountains, and terraced rice fields. Motorbike balancing precious bundles. Thank you so much for our Bali adventure memorable meals with Mount-Agung in view. Wonderful memories to treasure for ever , it was so generous and kind of you. With much love and apologies for poor scansion. Jo and Roger

My 6-year old chose Villa Melati because of the swimming pool, but honestly this place is much more than the photos display. It is eden on earth. Set in the hillside of the Ubud hills overlooking a sea of endless of green. Waking in the morning to such a glorious site made me smile with gratitude that I have been so blessed to stay in this slice of heaven. The staff were beautiful, so attentive and caring. They doted so much on my two little girls, that my 2-year old was crying and wanted to stay with the chef forever. We were all moved by their kindness toward us. I doubt we could eat another nasi goreng for a quiet a while and I doubt we would ever eat one again that match's the chef's at Villa Melati. We stayed for new years eve and the staff put on a banquet to die for, and decorated the table with banana leaves designed in long wraps with flowers. We were so happy that we have decided to return next Christmas and live it all again. This is the most comfortable and safe place for a family holiday and an awesome getaway for a couple. We only ventured out a few times as we had everything we needed at the villa to relax. But if you do go out I'd recommend Cafe Buda in Ubud for an organic feast, and trip to the Green School to gaze on the creative genius of what Balinese can do with bamboo, not to mention how Bali is the example to the world for sustainable living.

We were like kings in our two villas with Villa-Bali.com (we heartily recommend Villa-Bali.com to all our friends! ). At Villa Melati, our girls loved their king size beds, the Villa Staff, their bathrooms (two with showers and bathtubs with water slides !), pools, rafting, the dog and last but not least THE cable car of the villa Melati !! We are now all fans of rice fields, waves, chicken sate and of course the friendly Balinese. We would have stayed a few more weeks if only we could!!!

The only problem with Villa Melati is that you eventually have to leave, which is so difficult.
