The villa looks great in the pictures but it’s even better in person.Beautiful inside and out. The pool area is great, and the covered outdoor dining space it beautiful. One of the best villas we’ve ever stayed in and the villa owners/ managers on hand were great. Location is good for the town (although the town is limited) but the views gardens and isolation of the villa is great. Would 100% stay here again
Fantastic new property superb layout from ultra modern stylish bedrooms through to open plan living downstairs. Outside layout was a dream with fantastic outdoor shaded eating area. High quality large dining table, bbq and professional drinks fridge. Perama was a lovely working village with plenty of supermarkets, coffee shops, bakers, butchers It is a working town which added to the authenticity of the stay. Close by is Peromo and Bali which are more tourist (still lovely and quiet). Think Villa and the owners have been superb. Looking at the larger nine bedroom property for 2021.
Het huis was nog mooier dan op de foto's op internet. Alle kamers met luxe badkamer, prachtig zwembad en tuin, fijne keuken. Ontvangst en service waren prima. Het enige minpuntje is dat in het plaatsje Perama weinig te doen was. Dat lag misschien aan de periode dat wij er waren (mei) maar het leek wat vergane glorie. Wel goede supermarkt en banketbakker.
Zou het iedereen aanraden!
Die Gruppe von acht Erwachsenen (50er) war rundum glücklich mit dem Objekt. Platz, Komfort, Sauberkeit und vor allem auch die Kommunikation mit den Gastgebern war zu jeder Zeit absolut vorbildlich.
Ein Mietauto ist zu empfehlen.
Die Gruppe wurde also über den gesamten Zeitraum bestens betreut.
We visited this villa last year and we had to do it again this year. I would highly recommend a visit. Beautiful villa very well maintained. I want to go back again.
From booking to arrival it was a pleasure. Valia was amazing and nothing was too much trouble. The villa had the wow factor and as amazing as it looks it is even better in real life. The owners were very attentive and made sure our stay was the best experience we could have hoped for. Hope to see them again next year.
The communication and helpfulness were excellent and could not be faulted
Villa ivona was even better than shown on the website, everything you could wish for was provided, the whole quality was also excellent, we could not rate our experience any higher,
Any questions were answered and help given for restaurants etc.
We not only would recommend staying here, we want to come back
