Villa Batari - Artsy Joglo - Private Swimming Pool

“I’ll be back !” Great setting, peaceful and surrounded by lush tropical gardens and luxurious native vegetation. The ‘private’ pool is a long way down the hill with many stairs and the pool overlooks a charming flowing river. The sound of the birds and nature in general was so very soothing and relaxing! The architecture - Joglo house design and wooden structure combined with the rustic nature of the accommodation ticked all the boxes for me!! .., oh and Made and his team are so friendly, accommodating and professional. Rather than plastic bottles, a 25 litre mineral water bottle was provided- making it great for refills and doing their bit to cut down on plastic rubbish. A small kitchen with small stove and refrigerator was so handy - as was the supplied Bali Kope. (No Nescafe instant here!). Nothing like having a few morning Bali kope’s while overlooking the river valley and the cool winter mountain mists rising from the valley floor and then knocking back copious Bintangs in the afternoon. The funky outside bathroom made of glass bottle walls was way cool. Also, the owner - Made will order takeaway and delivery. Just too easy. Can’t make enough positive comments about our stay. The only disappointment was not having booked to stay longer.

It’s so beautifully unique here. While there is a separate area for massages; two extra chairs outside near the small kitchen would make it even better as we spent a lot of our time relaxing here.

The villa was very unique, the pool was amazing and at the bottom of a stairway. Great exercise!! Made and his son were very friendly and helpful. We loved the pancakes for breakfast.

You need a scooter or a car to get somewhere. The main road nearby is very congested with traffic, so walking is not a safe option. It wasn't a problem for us as we know the area quite well driving around with scooters.

Accueil, calme, cadre (magnifique jardin), l'espace (grande chambre), les équipements (possibilité de faire son café sur place)...

Humidité

The view, big fridge, Aircon is present, kitchen, nice pool and friendly people. Enough private.

The hot water system is running on a tiny little bottle of gas and it's not enough to fill the hot tub outside, we couldn't have a proper bath in 4 days without calling to change the gas, the owner did it without any delay but it's a bit awkward to try to have a moment of relaxation when the is someone pottering around changing gas. The bath in itself isn't really nice, too big and too deep to really being able to enjoy the view, you sitting in a bit of water with a big concrete wall all around cutting the view. Being the main reason of our booking it was quite disappointing, specifically knowing the villa above us has a big gas bottle and shouldn't have this problem. And the water pressure was really low. The access is really dodgy with scooter, you better be good or park far away, the entrance is straight in the middle of a turn with a fair bit of traffic. The decoration is not really nice, too many bad painting.
