Villa Cecilia Luxury with Sea view Pool - ANIMA Eco Lodge

Il mio soggiorno in questa villa a Lombok è stato semplicemente indimenticabile. Immersa nel verde, circondata esclusivamente dalla natura, offre un’atmosfera di pace difficile da trovare altrove. Ogni mattina mi svegliavo con una vista mozzafiato che sembrava uscita da una cartolina. Il personale è stato impeccabile: sempre disponibile, sorridente e gentile. Ti fanno sentire accolto dal primo all’ultimo momento. Un luogo perfetto per chi cerca relax, bellezza e un tocco autentico dell’isola. Non vedo l’ora di tornare.

Una vera perla immersa tra silenzio e natura, il luogo ideale per ritrovare la pace dei sensi. Lo staff è ultra gentile, sempre disponibile e sorridente, capace di farti sentire subito a casa. Dopo qualche giorno nel delirio di Bali, questo posto è stato il giusto riposo, lontano dal caos e dalla confusione di Kuta. Un’oasi autentica in cui rigenerarsi totalmente. Consigliatissimo!

Colazione super! Una vista mare pazzesca, lo staff cordiale e disponibile!

Fantastica vista mare, pulizia eccezionale, staff cordiale e sorridente. Strada di accesso in ottime condizioni. C’è un cantiere a 100 metri ma non ha dato alcun fastidio al mio soggiorno! Ottima anche la colazione

The villa itself is very beautifull and cute (the bathroom is amazing), the small pool is lovely. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. The organization is good (Check-in/check-out, breakfast choices and extra requests are all managed via WhatsApp with Riana, which is super practical and efficient, although it was a shame that we didn't get to meet her in person during our entire stay). There is always one security guard at the reception, which is reassuring given that the place is a little remote. The view is very nice.

Although we got a very attractive price (well below current prices), which was certainly good value for money, there are a few things that could be improved: -Comfort: the mattress could be more comfortable. -Breakfast is very basic, although well prepared. During our stay in Indonesia, this was the place with the poorest breakfast; even in more basic accommodations, we had more complete breakfasts. Adding a piece of fruit, for example, would make a difference. -Privacy: this was really the negative point of the stay. Although the villa is surrounded by some vegetation, everything is visible from the reception and the other villa next door. In addition, certain employees entered our private space and were always passing by and looking in. When we were having breakfast or in the pool, I didn't feel comfortable because you can see everything! You can also hear the conversations from the villa next door. Accessibility: the villa is located on a very steep slope and only part of the road is more or less paved. It didn't rain during our stay, because if it had, I don't know how we would have accessed the villa. This opinion is only for the villa where I stayed, as there are a total of four villas in the same location. I am sure that the bigger villas do not have this privacy issue. The problem is that our villa was the one that everyone passed by.

Disappointing Stay – Left After One Night We had planned a two-night stay but ended up checking out after just one night due to several issues. First, the room service was very poor – staff lacked basic manners and professionalism. The quality of breakfast was also quite bad, and to make matters worse, you have to place your order a day in advance, which is very inconvenient. There’s no kitchen or food service available on-site, so you can’t order anything else if needed. On top of that, there were multiple power cuts during our short stay, and the property has no backup generator. It gets really dark and scary during these outages, making the environment quite uncomfortable and unsettling. Due to all these problems, we decided to leave early and booked another property nearby. Definitely wouldn’t recommend unless improvements are made.

Villa was very funky. Great views. Nice plunge pool. Efficient food delivery. Nice host. Peaceful.

Stayed at Villa closest to parking area/staff area. Some type of screening near Villa to afford privacy for guests, and staff would be highly recommended.

I just finished this fantastic stay at ANIMA, and it felt like paradise. After spending 4 days in the center of Lombok in Kuta, amidst traffic and chaos, we decided to take a real vacation, away from the "Western" hustle and bustle. We found this corner of paradise on social media, located in Mawun, about 15 minutes from the center. The houses are magical, surrounded by nature, with an infinity pool and a breathtaking view. We finally relaxed. The staff was always friendly and smiling, making everything easier. The house was clean and tidy, and the breakfast by the pool was exceptional. We will definitely come back to visit. Highly recommended. Moreover, the villas are strategically located to visit the most beautiful beaches on the island: Mawun, Tampah, and Selong.
