Home away from Home
Posted Apr. 12, 2024 on HomeAwayThe staff were all friendly, helpful and made us feel pampered and at home. The location of the property is ideal for a group to have a quiet, relaxed and great time together. The private pool and beach on the front were added bonuses. The 3 ladies who prepared our meals upon request enhanced our stay as we could opt to either eat in or out.

Villa Yuhistira Stay on Bali's Northern Beaches
Posted Apr. 8, 2024 on HomeAwayWe have been to Bali dozens of times and always stayed in the traditional tourist areas of Seminyak, Canggu, so though we would give the Northern Beached region a go.
WELL, what an extremely amazing choice this was, as the Villa Yudhistira experience was AMAZING. The villa, villa location, villa setting and most of all the local villa staff made this 10 day break one of our best ever.
The villa itself is nestled on the beachfront in the Brongbong Village area, not far from Seririt (15 mins by car), Lovina (30 mins) and Singaraja (45 mins).
The villa staff are what made the stay exceptional (and we travel a lot) - Budi coordinates any chosen activities and the staff, doing so with a very easy going, approachable manner (very good English). The villa staff had three ladies (Surya, Ewik & Kadek) who cooked all our meals as required, using local ingredients. They were all super friendly, understood our requests and cooked some great local dishes. Not to mention they also quietly kept the villa looking immaculate.
There is also Kormang the gardener who daily maintains the pool and spacious garden area.
This villa stay would certainly rank up there as the best we have had in Bali, across decades of travel there. We loved it so much this time that on the last day, we rebooked Villa Yudhistira for two weeks in October 2024. This is more than a villa stay - it can be described as a villa stay with local "family", genuinely ensuring that the guests have the optimal Bali experience.

Not as expected
Posted Mar. 29, 2024 on HomeAwayAnnounced was cooking, the food they made was without Taste, sometimes bought in a shop.
Therfore we had to more of 90 % of our stay outside dinner.The staff during the day was extremely loud, really disturbing,thus we send them early home,generally at about 11.30.

Thank you for the review. I wish you would have said something to us as we asked you if everything was ok! As I understand you wanted to be totally alone in the house and of course, our staff has to clean and do their job in the house. Our staff does not buy food in the shops. They sometimes prepare some of the food at home for you, in their free time and bring it to the house. I am sorry that we were not able to meet your expectations. Regards

Beyond Expectations!
Posted Oct. 7, 2023 on HomeAwayWe were 3 couples (50's - 60's-from Calgary, Canada) on a long awaited trip to Bali. After the busy and crowded tourist hubs in the south, we chose the Lovina area as it was described to be "peaceful, low-key and far off most travellers' radar"...exactly what we were looking for!
The villa was exceptional! Spacious, well maintained and very private. We were spoiled by Surya, Kadek and Dewi preparing all our meals- we had the best array of true Bali dishes and had no desire to head out for meals. Much to my surprise, Surya baked me the most delicious birthday cake at her home and brought it to the villa on her scooter! She and the ladies always went over and above with everything they did:)
The best was the outdoor living with a beautiful view of the sea by the pool, sitting areas and dining (and massages!) Highly recommend having a driver for the week/ Dede (Kadek) took us on a few excursions, and was available at all times.
Paul (owner) made the booking process simple and responded to all enquires with much appreciated detail. We learned that the staff has been with him for many years, and their loyalty is a clear indication of what a good person he is, and how happy they are taking such good care of the villa and guests.
Despite travelling so far from Canada, I hope we have an opportunity to be back again!

Prepared to be Pampered
Posted Oct. 5, 2023 on HomeAwayEverything about our stay was wonderful. The staff was kind and accommodating. They gave us great recommendations on places to go. They cooked for us, they cleaned and the overall environment was peaceful and restful. At the staffs recommendation, we visited the waterfalls, the Buddhist temple, and went out on a dolphin watch. Everything was arranged for us. Certainly not a typical vacation for us from the US, but so enjoyable as the start of our Bali adventure. The communication was great with the owner and the staff, I cannot say enough good things about. Our safety and comfort was their a priority. Highly highly recommend. I wish I could have stayed there for a month.

Great spot in North Bali
Posted Jul. 8, 2023 on HomeAwayIf you are going to North Bali, make sure you try this villa out. The villa is nice with a great view of the ocean. Staff there is very helpful and cooking good meals. Many thanks to Surya, Kadak, and Ewak for taking care of us in the villa. Budi, the manager, was also very helpful, visited us daily to make sure things were all good. The driver, Deta, is also very good, taking us to places and provided info on Balinese culture. The owner Paul is also very responsive. I will recommend this place to friends and family.

Pleasantly Pampered
Posted Apr. 30, 2023 on HomeAwayWhat a great place to stay! The villa is beautiful! It was nice to have the pool and to be on the water! The gardens around the property were beautiful and well taken care of. The best part of our stay was the unbelievable care from the staff! They welcomed us upon arrival and we’re there to see us off. The manager made great suggestions of what to see, our cooks prepared wonderful meals, and our driver took us to amazing places! The Balinese people made the experience exceptional!
Thank you all!

Awesome Villa with Superior Staff
Posted Apr. 6, 2023 on HomeAwayOur 8-night stay in the villa was wonderful. The house is spacious, comfortable and impeccably clean. The view of the ocean is fabulous, the pool simply amazing. Having massages on the Bale benong (the lounge bed next to the ocean) incredibly relaxating!
The best part of our stay way interacting with the staff who were all super friendly and attentive. Buddi, the property manager stopped by every morning to check on us and see if there was anything we needed. The food far exceeded our expectations. It was obvious that the ladies who cooked for us were eager to please us with every meal.
We used the driver recommended by the host, Dharma, who was fantastic. He was anxious to show us the Balinese culture he so obviously loved. He answered all our questions about Bali’s history and the Hindu culture and traditions with the utmost patience. We returned home with a great appreciation for the beauty of the island and the Balinese people. We highly recommend staying at the Villa…you will not regret it.
