De'desa Villa

The atmosphere is pleasant, and it feels suited to a younger crowd. The food is Javanese, made with original recipes, but the selection is very limited. The restaurant only opens on Saturdays and Sundays. Prices are expensive compared with food in the region. It was hard to find information about the villas and facilities when we asked the waitress in charge.

We had a splendid Indonesian Gado Gado for breakfast, and the breakfast service was great. Dinner wasn’t provided, so we walked to a nearby restaurant, picked up a nice meal, and brought it back to the villa. We stayed one night at this gorgeous property, with traditional Indonesian furniture, a garden lit by candles, and a lovely outdoor living area. The architecture is beautiful, and it feels like an oasis in a small town. If we’re in the area again, we’ll certainly return.

A lovely villa for a family stay. The lodging has a traditional style that gave us a sense of how our ancestors used to live. The view is nice, everything’s green, and the water is clear and cool. There’s a water heater too.

Kopi Desa, the coffee shop here, is open Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The place is quite good for taking photos.
