Pondok Radnata

Alles aan dit huisje ademt schoonheid en rust. Je kunt er zowel boven als beneden slapen, en de prachtige badkamer – met een heerlijke buitendouche – geeft een extra gevoel van luxe. Het zwembad is perfect om af te koelen na een warme dag, en de buitenkeuken is volledig uitgerust met alles wat je nodig hebt. Wat dit verblijf echt bijzonder maakt, is de ligging: je leeft er midden tussen de lokale bevolking, maar toch met alle nodige comfort. We maakten een schitterende wandeling door de rijstvelden, een ervaring die we niet snel vergeten. De host is uitzonderlijk vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Hij bracht ons naar een lokale warung waar we heerlijk konden dineren, en wees ons op fijne plekjes in de buurt. Dankzij hem bezochten we ook het Samsara-museum, waar je een mooie inkijk krijgt in het traditionele Balinese leven. Hoewel ontbijt niet inbegrepen was, verraste hij ons ’s ochtends met heerlijke pisang goreng en laklak, simpelweg omdat hij had gehoord dat we daar zo van genoten. Jammer dat we hier maar één nacht konden blijven, maar onze reisplanning lag al vast. Dit is zonder twijfel een plek waar we graag zouden terugkeren.

Omdat je midden in het dorpsleven verblijft, deel je ’s morgens vroeg wel even de drukkere lokale ochtendspits. Voor ons hoorde dat gewoon bij de charme van de plek, maar het is goed om te weten.

(Long story alert but it's how deeply i am impressed) We came from ubud pretty disappointed from our previous room where it's pretty notable in ubud (which i wouldn't go for too much detail about where it is) , the moment we stepped on radnata boss's son and sister greeted us so friendly and they already made the place so tidy that the view of giant agung mountain and hospitality of host just cured all of our frustration from ubud . Facility wise everything just perfectly makes sense . The whole theme of house fits the theme of the village yet provides comfortable space. The mattress feels just perfect not too hard not too soft just perfect balance and probably at least 3 types of pillows even adds a little fun when u can choose which one to use and which one to use as a leg rest . Exterior dining area the ground mat is pretty decently elevated so it doesn't bother the blood circulation even though you are sitting on the ground The Water is Hot , even the outside kitchen sink water comes in hot too not to even mention the shower . Pool were clean and cool it's not a still water it automatically flows. And for the host the Boss seemed to be a big boss of the area he knows a lot of people and he is all for helping out the guest of what they need and unlike other owners he messages you personally as soon as you book the place. And also the other best part is the motorcycle, and also i have to mention this is the only place you can rent motorcycle and it's impossible to travel the east side without it. we rented 2 big bikes , me and my father are experienced bikers and bikes are in perfect condition, acceleration is great and the brake is so smooth you don't even feel like stoping. Obviously air-conditioning is in perfect condition.

This is a real hidden gem in an authentic Balinease Village. The house is like from a fairy tale, the most beautiful bathroom i have ever seen. You have everything that you need inside and outside of the cutiest house in the area. You can explore Sideman and Virgin Beach and incredible Rice fields around with no problem. The communication with the owner was more than exellent. He is also a driver and a local guide so if you need a transport or a guide he is the perfect one for that. We will definitely come back again one Day, i hope it will be soon! Thanks for everything 🙏🥰!

Beautiful property in an amazing location. Quiet, and surrounded by rice fields and a view of mount Agung. Very spacious home with a large pool and garden. The pool was a bit dirty when we arrived but they immediately cleaned it for us! Owner is very friendly and arranged two bikes for us to rent, which can be tricky in this area. The bathroom is very spacious and well equipped with a nice shower.

The one thing we missed was a fridge.
