Villa Tepi

Amazing villa, very private and clean, pool with a stunning view. Staff were very friendly and helpful, delicious breakfast every morning. Will definitely go back to this place!

We had an amazing time and the scenery is truly amazing. The view is exactly like the pictures and the Villa is very spacious and well equipped with everything, full size toiletries and detergents! Hot water anytime of the day and big comfy bed. The location is good just 10’ away with scooter from the center of Ubud, away from the too much crowd and walking distance from a couple of nice restaurants and cafes The breakfast is delicious, super fresh and quite big with several options The personnel was always extremely helpful and friendly to accommodate our needs, especially the two girls in the morning !

There’re a couple of things that we didn’t expect, but didn’t really bother so much, as we had nice time. We visited Bali during the raining season and unfortunately there’s no way for towels or any clothes to get dry fast, the Villa gets too humid and hot as it’s open and there’s no AC in any place except the master bedroom. The fans are doing good job though, but a bit noisy as there’s no speed adjustment. As the Villa is surrounded by a lot of greenery, we had everyday visits of lizards and geckos and unfortunately their poop, but it was something, that we were informed about before arrival. It can get quite noisy during the night, as it’s near an uphill road, you constantly hear vehicles trying to climb. On our last day, during our breakfast the girls started cleaning the Villa as they’re expecting a new guest at 13:00 (check in supposed to be after 14:00) they asked us, but one of them she was already cleaning.… They cleaned and locked the two bedrooms downstairs around 09:30 and our check out was at 12:00! During that day it was a heavy rain and due to the lack of generator, the power went off together with the water supply. Unfortunately when we needed to use the toilet downstairs so we can flush, they have locked and left. We felt extremely uncomfortable and unwelcome!!

This property in Ubud overlooks a valley and the lush green view from the rooms is breathtaking. The rooms are spacious and the main room for living, dining and kitchen is spacious with high ceiling. I would term the decor as modern Balinese. There is a large balcony with beautiful views. Two rooms in the lower level are close to pools are spacious and they too have wonderful views. Overall, the location, facilities and the size of the villa is amazing. We were pleasantly surprised that breakfast is cooked at the villa by young and cheerful Komang. There is a choice between western (fruit juice, fruits, toast, and eggs to your choice) and Balinese (nasi goreng or mie goreng). Komang was always on time and the breakfast she prepared was refreshing and excellent. Putu the cleaning lady made sure that the rooms were cleaned every day. The linen gets changed when Putu was requested. The villa has an extra room which could be useful if you are planning to work from home. The villa offers excellent privacy. The villa has a washing machine too. The hostess of the villa is Pajeng and she made sure that our stay was comfortable. She was very helpful offering tips on travel and organising transport to visit places outside of Ubud and for short trips to Ubud downtown. My wife and I were extremely humbled when Pajeng invited us to join the festivities at the local temple. We were able to watch the local gamelan play Balinese music and the also the dance performance of the locals. Pajeng even lent us sarongs and headgear to wear the proper attire to the temple. We had a wonderful and relaxing time. We would like to thank Pajeng, Komang and Putu for making our stay a memorable one. I would definitely like to return someday.

I have to say that the things below did not bother us. I am writing these words to make aware fellow travelers what to expect. The property overlooks an uphill road, and the passing traffic could be noisy. The property has no windows and only plantation shutters and so the noise from the traffic is not suppressed. The villa is surrounded by lush vegetation and so you do get a lot of insects visiting us. The fans were not effective in the bedrooms and the speed could not be regulated. This is something that needs attention. The villa has no air-conditioning.

Very beautiful villa, great view, great breakfast and all amenities are provided. The caretaker family are very sweet and helpful, but they were around a lot at the villa, felt like we vacationed together with them. They came in initially to provide the keys to the property and show us around, then the dad and son came to fix the TV, then later when we were swimming in the pool the daughter unlocked the house and came in unannounced to drop off a spare house key. The next morning they came in to clean the property and prep breakfast at 9am and stayed till 12! Shortly after again when we were in the pool, they came in unannounced to change the filter in the pool. I told them not to come in unannounced for privacy reasons and also it's scary to see random people in the house unexpectedly, but they came in again later that day when we were out. Very friendly and helpful family and amazing breakfast but we didn't have the place to ourselves.
