Sarini Villas

The owners were such a sweet, friendly family that they made our stay unforgettable. They told us about the area, Balinese customs, and their family, invited us to one of their children’s ceremonies, and shared a meal and a delicious homemade coconut drink (alcohol) with me. Thanks to them for that. Our wooden villa felt like a nature cottage. It was a clean, spacious room with a comfortable bed, wardrobe, desk, AC, ceiling fan, and good Wi-Fi. Water and coffee were replenished daily. There’s a semi-outdoor bathroom, private pool with lounge chairs, a sheltered garden for privacy, and a covered terrace. It’s wonderfully peaceful, and waking up there was a bliss. With the motorbike rented at the villa, we could get to Ubud center in 15-20 minutes. P.S. It’s better to book directly with the family than through a platform.

Widi, Gus Man, and their family were so helpful and accommodating throughout my wonderful stay at Sarini Villas. It’s a great choice if you want a private, peaceful spot in a local village away from the bustle of Ubud centre. The bed is big and comfortable, the bathroom is fantastic, and the Wi-Fi works well. They make you feel like family. I can’t recommend it enough, and I’ll be back. Thank you, Widi and Gus Man.

We only managed two nights at Sarini Villa because we had to get back to work, which was a shame. It’s such a lovely place, and everyone there was warm, helpful, and wonderful. The villa was clean and comfortable. If you’re after a different kind of stay, this is worth booking. We’ll definitely return for another weekend in Gianyar. Glad we found this hidden gem.

Sarini Villas is in peaceful Kemenuh village, about 15 minutes by car from Ubud. The village has waterfalls, art workshops, restaurants, and coffee shops to visit. Staying here gave me a chance to get closer to Balinese culture and learn more about local people, away from Bali’s busy commercial tourist areas and their everyday hassles. Cleanliness matters a lot to me, and my room was always tidy with a comfortable bed. The villas also have a beautiful private pool, a distinctive advantage compared with other villas and hotels in the area. What made the stay especially memorable was the kindness and hospitality of the Gus Angga family. Gus Angga’s father was always kind and gave me helpful advice and tips for planning my time and seeing more around Ubud. Gus Angga was an excellent day-to-day manager, always focused on giving guests the best service. I’ll never forget this wonderful family’s kindness and had an unforgettable stay. Special thanks to my friend and the best Bali tourist guide Putu, Cafe Ubud- IB Ketut Perama Teja, my taxi driver Yogi, my good friend Widi, and the whole Gus Angga family. I’ll absolutely choose this place again when I’m back in Bali.
