*moved from my old blog*
as an in-betweenie (on the border of being "regular" sized and plus-size), i was shocked about the huge uproar regarding the ever-so-controversial photographer terry richardson shoot for vice magazine's annual photo issue called "tons of fun" – the shoot uses plus size models in all of their glory – untouched by photoshop. some call it degrading and others (like me) call it empowering. the shoot is NOT classy (as many claim it should be) but if you know terry richardson, classy is far from his style. terry is known best for shooting in front of a white wall with various 35mm & point and shoot digital cameras. this is what he does. i'm really overwhelmed by how the fatshion community reacts to some shit. why so serious?! i don't know terry nor do i know any of the models but from watching the video, it looked like everyone had a good time. the models obviously answered some sort of casting call and weren't forced into posing. are these women victims? no. should these women be made to feel guilty/ashamed/embarrassed for doing this shoot? NO! now if terry shot these women posing with donuts or bacon then yes, i would definitely call the shoot tasteless and degrading but let's keep it real – let's applaud these women for being PROUD OF THEIR BODIES! as i was writing this, i came across vice's response… read it.

JUST SAYIN'. We have to hand it to Kris Aquino. When every one thought the "Queen of All Media" was done after more than a year of having almost no presence in media, she, like Jesus Christ last Easter, was 'resurrected.'
And, boy, like all other Kristeta pasabog, social media was abuzz. It still remains one of the most talked about in showbiz news.
Although still mum about her specific role and project, social media revealed that she could possibly join the all-star, all-Asian cast of the adaptation of Kevin Kwan's best-selling novel Crazy Rich Asians to be produced by a major Hollywood studio. Confirmed cast includes Michelle Yeoh, Constance Wu and Sonoya Mizuno. Her latest Instagram post shows that she has already signed a talent management contract with East West Artists, an agency based in Hollywood.
It seems Kris was really born with so many auspicious stars in her chart despite her many perceived shortcomings. Her unique and larger-than-life personality really stands out that it is hard for her to just fade away.
And like a true survivor, she has yet again managed to find a way out of showbiz extinction.
Just like Kris Aquino, Ali Sotto is one tough survivor. The radio broadcaster has had more than her fair share of trials and tribulations.
"Survivor ako, hindi ba? I've survived an attempt in my life. Pinasok ako, sinaksak ako. I'm surviving the death of a son, so I know grief. I've been through so much," she tells me one afternoon after the presscon of Dobol B Sa News TV.
The singer/actress-turned-news-personality will finally be seen on free-to-air TV starting Monday, April 24, as her newscast and shows in AM station DZBB will be shown in GMA News TV Channel 11 from 6 to 10 a.m. on weekdays.
Most other people would have crumbled, but the 55-year-old recalls that she might have temporarily thought of giving up especially right after her son Miko died in 2003, but being a tough cookie, her faith in herself and a higher being prevailed.
Sotto displays the mark of a person who has developed the capacity to go beyond herself. She proudly says she has learned "lifting everything up" to her Creator. By this admission, she has come to realize that she remains fallible, and thus, is aware that she is bound to create mistakes over and over again. Her admission that she is as human as anyone else has also made her more empathetic about causes that affect a majority of Filipinos.
She shares that it is one of the reasons she knew from the start that she wanted to influence and educate a greater group of people. Sotto took Communication Arts from the University of Santo Tomas and proceeded to take two years of law at the Ateneo De Manila University. Afterwards, she would jet set the world with her now retired husband, who used to be a diplomat. A self-confessed Inglesera, she said it was an effort for her to read Virgilio Almario's books written in Filipino.
"I could have reached out to the AB crowd, but early on I already knew that I wanted to talk to a larger group of people," she shares. Her show Sino? with Mike Enriquez and Arnold Clavio leans toward political satire. That way, she says, her target audience will be inclined to listen. On one hand, they get to be entertained; on the other, they are informed of the underlying issues behind every joke and pun delivered.
She stresses that behind her makulit persona, often coming out in her frequent banters with Clavio who see considers as her younger brother, she sees her role as a huge responsibility.
"There's a huge responsibility. You can't take it lightly if you want to be a communicator, whether in front of camera, microphone or writing somebody else's script. Behind the glamour and hard work, you're molding people's minds. For me, it's a blessing and privilege that God put me in this place where I can make a difference in peoples' lives," shares the newscaster who also revealed quite a few interesting qualities that make her relatable to people.
One of this is her admission that she has, in essence, remained a tomboy at heart because she feels that dressing and makeup is an "effort" and that shopping is a "chore." She explains that it was growing up with three brothers that made her more comfortable with men.
As she has come to terms with her calling as an instrument of positively influencing and educating people, Sotto sees her position as not a woman of power but a woman who was given a power to influence and, as a result, effect change.
With 40 years in the industry, Sotto offers some tips for future broadcasters. "Get the right tools. If you want to be a communicator, it presupposes that you know the basics of grammar. If you want to be a broadcaster, it presupposes you have good diction. Work on that first. And then read a lot. For me, I call reading a vice. I read everything, even junk. Be a wide reader. And I guess it's a given that you have an innate curiosity about life. In terms of career path, it should be clear to you who your target audience is," enumerates Sotto.
The 6 to 10 a.m. Dobol B Sa News TV slot also features seasoned news reader and commentator Joel Reyes Zobel who reports on the latest news and issue with Enriquez during the 7 a.m. bulletin.

In the last two decades or more, two women have proven that they are quite the survivors in the upper echelons of the TV industry.
One of them is Wilma Galvante. She may not be as visible these days as compared to her stints at two major networks, GMA-7 and TV5, before.
Galvante, however, retains a presence. After announcing her retirement as chief content officer of TV5, she went on to put up her own production house with other TV professionals.
In 2015, she and six other friends put up Content Cows Company, an independent production house. The company comprises of colleagues who have worked with all three major networks. Margie Natividad serves as the president. Ryan Benitez and Renato Custodio are the writers, while Ivan Dedicatoria is the in-house director. They also have Joshua de Guzman and Nico Natividad as part of the team.
"We're seven in the team. We complement each other. I'm the CEO and I head concept development. I make them work and I teach them. That's where I am now. I'm more into sharing of what I've learned and what I continue to learn," shares Galvante during the launch of new shows of Colours Channel.
Galvante's production company created two of the contents for the channel, Mombiz and 40 Is The New 30. The first one is a show dedicated to mothers and is hosted by best friends and basketball wives Danica Sotto-Pingris and LJ Moreno-Alapag. Pia Guanio hosts the 30-minute magazine show for women in their 40s who still embody women who go through the highs and lows of self-discovery and reinvention.
The two shows complete the list of new shows for the channel, namely, Celebrity Scoop, Films&Stars, Fashion Forward, InstaGlamour and Dinosaur Train.
Now that she has ventured into her own production outfit, I asked her after the launch which she finds fulfilling: working for a big organization or heading her own production company?
"Both are fulfilling and challenging. I'm less stressed now because... ratings are really... mahirap yun eh (laughs). I'm not saying not to do it. But I think I'm already done with working for a particular network. Now, I'm freer," she shared.
It was also the reason she decided to produce 40 Is The New 30 because it is culled from her own experience of having been in the TV industry for 40 years.
"I've been in the business for 40 years, and it is still very dynamic. I tell myself that after all these years, I still don't get tired of thinking of developing stories because there are still so much to tell," she said.
She was part of GMA-7 when the fantasy shows Mulawin, Encantadia, Darna and Captain Barbell were introduced in mid-2000s. These shows gave rival networks a run for their money and paved the way for the popularity of fantasy shows. In fact, two of these are currently being readapted for a younger set of viewers.
She was also part of the fledgling team of TV5 a few years ago when the network decided to join in on the ratings game and recruited big name stars, as well as started producing their own shows.
The seasoned TV producer was as enthusiastic as any mother would be talking about her favorite child or pet project. Now that she is heading her own production outfit, her goal is to create a variety of shows that would pique her interest.
She might put a priority on shows with substance, but being a seasoned TV executive, she knows full well that some time down her new path she should be creating content that would pull in the viewers. Her current pet project is a reality supernatural show that has never been seen before. No, it will not have ghosts or similar entities, but it will deal with the mystical world in a realistic way, she promises.
In that short interview with Galvante, she struck me as someone enigmatic. There is a reason she remains a fixture in the industry. Knowing full well that a survivor tells a story, she dares to tell stories her own way and as her own boss.

Another lady who has practically ruled above men is Charo Santos-Concio. She may have retired two years ago as the president of ABS-CBN, but she left an indelible mark in an industry where executive positions used to be lorded over by men.
Her storied life is as worthy as the numerous true-to-life stories she reads once a week for the longest-running drama anthology Maalaala Mo Kaya.
She is the second eldest daughter who grew up in a middle-class household with a physician for a father in Albay. Possessed of a charming beauty, she was soon discovered and started to strut the runway as a model and beauty queen. Later, she would be the darling muse of legendary directors of experimental cinema during the 1980s. In the middle of that decade, she would find herself working behind the cameras as part of ABS-CBN. While tinkering with production, her charisma and soothing on-cam personality made her visible on TV via the drama anthology she hosts until now.
"I'm not used to being in the spotlight, the very reason why I guess I moved from acting to production. I love the work, but not the attention that it brings," confesses Santos-Concio during the launch of her book, My Journey: The Story of An Unexpected Leader.
Amid her jitters, the current chief content officer of ABS-CBN and president of ABS-CBN University, despite her self- tag as shy girl, still commands presence. Her grace and demeanor, perhaps, are what make people listen and look up to her. But, believe it or not, she confesses she was not the type who planned her life when she was a child as most leader-types do.
"If you would read the book, the common theme in my stories from my childhood to my journey of leadership was that I never really intended anything. I never really planned out my life the way it unfolded. I was just really open to the opportunities that came my way. I guess I'm like many of you here. One can be full of self-doubts, insecurities and fears and I had to grapple with them. It made me in touch with my inner self. It also allowed me to connect the dots and gave me a chance to appreciate the person I've become and be kind to myself. I learned to learn from my mistakes and embrace everything about me," relates Charo.
Making the book took a lot of convincing for her because she felt vulnerable talking about her life. She also took into consideration her husband and two sons, who she says are very private people. Ernie Lopez, head of ABS-CBN Publishing, and his editorial team including the book's co-author An Alcantara, were able to convince the lady boss to tell her story. They pitched that it would not just be a memoir or biography, but, above all, her life stories and journey will be the anchor of the book that would focus on leadership and what it takes to be one.
While the book might be told in the perspective of a woman, she believes that My Journey would resonate with all including men — indeed, with anyone who has had to deal with their fears and self-doubt whether in life or career.
These days, she might not be sitting in one of the executive offices of ABS-CBN, but Charo continues to leave an indelible mark on print and paper. While not busy, she dabbles with painting. Like any other woman who has been surviving a competitive world such as TV production, Charo is paying it forward by embarking on a new mission. She tours schools and corporate events, speaking on leadership.
Talk about walking the talk! These women surely are survivors and winners in life and career, and that is why they rule.

Lewis Hamilton started his Hungarian Grand Prix weekend as he intended to continue, leading both of Friday's (local time) free practice sessions with championship-leading Mercedes team mate Nico Rosberg behind.
The winner of the last two Hungarian Grands Prix lapped the Hungaroring circuit outside Budapest with a best time of one minute 25.814 seconds in the morning and 1:24.482 in the afternoon.
Rosberg was second fastest in both, 0.183 and 0.238 slower than the 2008 champion in the sessions with track temperatures rising to a sweltering 55 degrees Celsius after lunch.
Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso were the closest to the dominant duo, who have won nine out of 10 races so far between them, in the morning with third and fourth places respectively on the timesheets.
However Red Bull's quadruple champion Sebastian Vettel, who has never won in Hungary, was third fastest in the second practice with Alonso fourth.
Hamilton is 14 points adrift of Rosberg, despite having won five races to the German's four, but has a far better record in Hungary.
The Briton has won four times there in total, a record he shares with Germany's now retired Michael Schumacher, whereas Rosberg has yet to stand on the Hungaroring podium.
Raikkonen also has a great record at the track, which counts almost as a home race for Finnish drivers, with victory for McLaren in 2005 and second place in the last two years with Lotus.
The Finn needs a good result this weekend after being eclipsed by Alonso so far this season. Raikkonen is the only driver on the grid who has yet to beat his team mate this year.
The morning session opened with Max Chilton's Marussia on fire in the pits, with the flames quickly extinguished, after oil leaked onto the exhaust.
There was less drama in the second, other than a few harmless spins and slides.
Hamilton could be heard enquiring over the team radio, however, whether there was something wrong with his car's front brakes - a worrying sign after a front brake disc failure pitched him out of qualifying in Germany last weekend.
The Briton had to battle back in that race from 20th on the grid to third, with Rosberg winning.

New Plymouth's Shorty Clark knows what it is to travel throughout New Zealand, and the world, as he pursues his passion for triathlon.
The 60-year-old has been competing in the sport since 1995 and has attended 12 ITU world age-group championships and hundreds of events around New Zealand.
On Sunday, March 23, the triathlon world is set to return to Clark's backyard for the ITU New Plymouth World Cup sprint and age-group races.
Clark works for naming rights sponsor Port Taranaki and has cheekily asked his boss Roy Weaver for a few extra days off to train. And he is determined to lead the charge when it comes to getting behind this year's event, remembering what it was like when the ITU World Cup left the region back in 2009.
"It's vital and important for the whole community and province to get in behind this race and give it 100 per cent support. It was definitely missed when we lost it to an Australian venue," Clark said.
"The support, vibrancy, crowd interaction and inspiration that is produced from this race is partly what has brought the event back, vindicates the sponsors and makes the complete event viable and attractive to competitors - both the locals and the visitors from outside the province.
"We have the best and most beautiful, natural triathlon playground anywhere in New Zealand right here in New Plymouth, coupled with brilliant training and racing facilities."
Clark said it was not too late this year to take part in one of the many age-group and corporate events.
"Triathlon is easier than bowling underarm to an Aussie! That's what makes doing a tri enjoyable, rewarding and a buzz. The distances are short, your gear and equipment are basic and the time to do the event is minimal," he said.
Clark makes no bones about what the sport has done for him, with benefits far beyond the competition.
"For me personally, my involvement in triathlon has been an absolute 110 per cent life changer - something of a revelation to me.
"Triathlon has turned back the clock for me, improved my health, wellbeing, mental powers, motivation and overall life expectancy massively. It's taught me how a person can go from an ordinary average kiwi bloke - rugby, racing and beer, with no sporting background or pedigree, to become a national champion and be highly recognised on the international world age-group circuit, with a ranking of fourth in the sprint distance and sixth in standard distance."
Age-group racing on the Sunday morning will cater for everyone from beginners to experts, all over the short sprint distance (750m swim, 20km bike, 5km run) with a relay option where competitors can do one of the disciplines before passing on to their team-mate to complete the next leg of the race.
The elite women race is at noon, with the elite men starting at 2.30pm.

We had a great time staying in Ari and Kims place. We would like to come back if we ever return to north Bali.Sylvia2016-03-07T00:00:00Z
The villa was amazing, so spacious and beautifully designed with everything needed. We stayed for two nights and it was a highlight of our trip. After arranging a driver with Ari we made the climb to the remote location, the village is quiet with just the other two villas nearby. The staff were very helpful and cooked some delicious food, we tried the bbq which was excellent. To dine and swim overlooking such amazing views, sharing the pool only with the swallows that came by in the evenings, we witnessed the sunrise and sunset. The cosy large living area had great facilities with wifi and tv/DVDs. We met the friendly Ari who welcomed us and and explained everything we needed, he was contactable via the mobile provided if we needed anything. We would definitely recommend the villa.Tracey2016-09-04T00:00:00Z
It was amazing to stay at your house! If you arrive and see the wonderfull view you will feel like you are on heaven. The staff is also amazing - friendly - helpfull and always on time!Maximilian2016-06-19T00:00:00Z
We stayed 3 fantastic days at the Sang Lung 2 villa. The villa is situated in a tranquil countryside with fantastic views of the Bali Sea and the mango tree that dots the villa's surrounding. Ari (the host) and the staff are very professional and very welcoming. The villa has a wonderful menu of local and international dishes that are prepared right in the villa by the staff. Ari does the airport transfers and day trips to the outlaying attractions, he is engaging and full of facts about Bali which makes the journey entertaining. We love the place so much and will definitely be booking a return visit. Thank you Ari and staff for making our visit a memorable one.Lynn2015-09-26T00:00:00Z
The road to the villa almost made me want to turn back, lol, but when we arrived it was an amazing house. I thought the house might be too big for just two of us, but it was very cosy and comfortable. The food was absolutely delicious, and cooked by a couple of lovely ladies. We didn't make any trips as we only had one full day and wanted to relax and enjoy the place. Ari and Luh were very helpful and kind and made us feel very welcome. It was a perfect end to our week in Bali!!!Nobuaki2016-05-08T00:00:00Z
We stayed at the villa for three nights. The villa was absolutely beautiful and the view was even better! The pictures don't do it justice! The villa was in a very remote location and I would recommend using their driver to get there because they know the road and it is slightly treacherous. We also took a day trip organized by Ari and the driver was great and I would highly recommend both the waterfalls and hot springs. Overall, fabulous experience!Sarah2017-03-09T00:00:00Z
Amazing place to stay. Exactly as described. We were on a cruise ship docked for 3 days in Bali and decided to get the villa for one night. Place is execellent. The host is amazing and was there to receive us. We had an awesome time. The location is distant from everything however. We did not have time to explore the neighborhood (I don't think there is one, cause the place is far from the city, took us 3 hours by car from Benoa). I highly advise to get the transfer they provide for a fee as a regular taxi driver would most likely not be able to find the place. Overall I really recommend the place if you want to relax with friends and family, however if you are into exploring Bali I would recommend a place closer to town. Thank you very much for the stay Ari & Kim, my friends and I absolutely loved the stay.Lucas2016-12-02T00:00:00Z
The overall satisfaction of the trip, intimate service, first-class landscape, the price is moderate, the need to enhance the WiFi is not stable, the Chinese can not communicate these two issues. Thank you!yongzhong2016-02-16T00:00:00Z

I had a great stay at Chad and Ongga's villa. Chad was extremely responsive and helpful. He wasn't at the property whilst I was there, but arranged for his driver, Widi, to collect me from Ubud and let me into the villa. All the arrangements went very smoothly and Widi was able to drive me around during my stay.Julia2016-05-04T00:00:00Z
We were enjoying gorgeous villa at Chad place. We stayed 3nights there, the rooms were clean and as described. Chad and Ongga were very communicative and organized transport. I would recommend to take the local driver to do airport pickup.Andrius2015-12-29T00:00:00Z
the villa was really nice. room was clean and beautiful. ketut their trusted friend cleans the villa every 2 days and another person cleans the people every week :) the only down side was we thought we have the villa to ourselves but there are actually other rooms! but lucky us we were the only ones there during our stay :)Melisa2016-04-18T00:00:00Z
Honestly; it was perfect for me. Thanks guys!Sarah2016-11-04T00:00:00Z

Absolutely stunning villa. Very close to the heart of Cangu which is the most beautiful area. The pool is lovely and so is the room. Thank you Chad and Onga, we will stay again!Katy2016-03-25T00:00:00Z
Our stay at Chad's place was more than amazing! Chad owns a beautiful nice villa in a quiet and peaceful environment. The place around the villa is also very safe. Though it may be slightly difficult to find in the beginning, after getting used to it, we found the place very accessible to every where around, like echo beach and some nice cafes (betelnut cafe, a must try) that Ongga recommended! If you are too lazy to walk out for food, there is also a nearby warung that delivers food to the home! There may a number of small flying friends who will join you in the villa but that's really nothing as it is part of nature! They have so many DVDs selection...but a pity that we did not get to watch any due to our tight schedule around Bali! Would have been better if there were other cable channels! The pool infront of the villa is fantastic. With the surrounding nature around, it makes us more calm and relaxed! Would definitely recommend this to others! Thanks Chad and Ongga! You guys make such great and hospitable hosts!Dennis Sariputra2015-12-05T00:00:00Z
The villa was great, even better then the pictures show! The hosts were very helpful and gave us a lot of good tips about what to do and where to eat in Canggu. I would defintly recommend this place! :)Elina2016-12-18T00:00:00Z

Magnificent views, awesome poolSatya2017-02-15T00:00:00Z
The room itself had plenty of room. However, there was a bad sewage smell that came from the washroom that made the entire place smell. The pool was great with an amazing view of the ocean over the cliff. We were a bit disappointed about the "private" beach area. The stairs leading to the beach wasn't kept and there were garbage everywhere once you get down to the beach. It had plenty of potential especially during low tide if the staff made a bit of an effort to clear the path leading towards the beach and cleaned the beach area. Also, during our arrival, the front desk wasn't too welcoming. The woman at the front desk ignored us and had to say something to her multiple times before she acknowledged us. We were also carrying plenty of stuff with us including 2 luggages and carry-ons as we had been travelling everywhere. Instead of offering help (as this is actually a hotel, and had concierge) we had to ask the front desk multiple times if she can help get someone to help us. In the end, she asked 1 person to carry both luggages (both weighed 30kgs each) in one go while we had to carry the rest of our stuff including 2 back-packs, 2 carry-ons, and a few other small bags. The restaurant food was decent but not worth the price. They didn't have a way to call the front desk so would need to walk to the front desk if need anything. The area is secluded so would have to prepare to taxi around everywhere Would could get quite pricey or ride the moped around.Jezynira2017-03-31T00:00:00Z
This place really does have unbeatable views, the accommodation itself was absolutely lovely and always kept very clean. A hidden little gem and great value for money. I would definitely stay there againSean2017-04-05T00:00:00Z
I arrived to this beautiful stay late in he evening and was greeted with a warm welcome. Emanuel's team had arranged an airport pick up for me which was very nice. The bungalow was very clean but I didn't have towels until I asked for them the next day and there were no shampoo and conditioner, which isn't a problem at all but thought I'd mention as I didn't bring any! :) The grounds of the property are absolutely stunning and I couldn't have asked for more. The most stunning sunsets, beautiful 3 pools, jacuzzi, massage spa and a lovely restaurant. Food at the restaurant was also very good - breakfast was included and it was always delicious! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would love to go back as well as would strongly recommend for anyone to visit - I had an amazing experience.Saule2017-02-23T00:00:00Z

Some hosts just give you the key and leave you alone to get on with it. So it was with Ayu (or rather Tara, who answered all our e mail enquiries promptly). As we knew Ubud well, this was perfect for us. The place is a little bit hard to find but, with a bit of encouragement and a phone call, our patient taxi driver eventually got us there. The location , set in amongst the palms and bamboo and a 30 minute walk to the centre of Ubud is very calming and quite beautiful. It's as described, a one bedroom private villa adjoining the one inhabited by our host. The accommodation is new, well appointed and spotless. No noise from bikes, dogs, revellers or roosters. Good wifi. Hard to faultPeter2015-08-10T00:00:00Z
We had an awesome time in Ubud in the villa. Our arrival was a bit spontaneous (motorbikes), but Tara responded very fast by email and gave us perfect directions to find the villa. There are no streetnames and numbers :) in ubud. After a small introduction, we got the villa keys and a good wifi connection. Everything was very new and in perfect shape. There is also a kitchen to use, but we just boiled some water for tea there. The location is quiet, away from Ubud's center, but you can reach it in just a few minutes. We had two very good nights there and would recommend the stay to our friends!Jeremy2015-08-29T00:00:00Z
The listing according to me has traces of exaggeration (and inaccurateness) on several counts. For e.g. : >Location : Its not close to the city centre by Ubud standards- a 12-15 minute bike ride is far considering there are sooo many properties near the city, which are peaceful and as good. For those who want to do sightseeing or dont want to cook, this place is far from the city centre- for a cup of coffee also, u would have to bike it ~5-6 min away.. >Property description 1) Its not a villa (according to us)- more like one room and bathroom with a small porch that includes a kitchenette. 2) This property is shared with another family with a duplicate room/cottage alongside the listed one, both within the same premises (which is pretty small). So there is not much privacy. Infact one may also feel to be intruding, since the other family seems pretty 'settled'. > Cost: A bunglow/guesthouse/other bnb room with many more amenities (location, convenience, complementary breakfast etc.), costs lower than this- we looked around there. So we found this place expensive for what they offer (or didnt offer) So, in all- look around more would be my suggestion :)nupur2017-02-14T00:00:00Z
Really a good place to stay!Cy2017-04-11T00:00:00Z
Beautiful simple home. Heavenly saltwater pool. The villa is at the end of a long driveway and pathway. Can be slightly tough to find- take the driver Tara suggests! And also know there is no shampoo/conditioner/body wash- very bare bones, but perfect as a safe place to swim, relax and sleep! About 15 minutes walking to alchemy up a winding hill (taxi available directly across the street from the driveway). :) Tara and her daughter are really wonderful as well!Analise2016-04-02T00:00:00Z
We had a great stay here- absolutely loved the pool and the surrounding scenery and the house was beautiful and very clean and comfortable!Josh2016-07-21T00:00:00Z

Beautifull house, Great view at the jungle from the pool. Sunsets from there are amazing. There is a kitchen so u can buy your own food and u will be able to make some meals or u can chose from the menu which Gede offers. The house is far from the city and the ocean (40 min walk or around 15 min driving).Klaudia2016-07-28T00:00:00Z
The villa is in a village that is - 4h from DPS airport - 30 minutes away from Singaraja If you are coming straight from the airport ask the host for Mr.Artawa he made the drive a wonderful experience and we spent the time talking about Balinese history We met Yogee and Kedak they were wonderful hosts helped us with getting food and preparing breakfast. They are very punctual, sometimes they even arrive early. This villa is next to a farm so expect dogs/cows/villagers music to be heard, it is actually not a bad thing because it makes the place feel alive. This place is perfect for relaxing and having a peaceful time. It is expected to find the staff setting in front of the kitchen before meal times and walk in the place a lot, but you can ask for privacy and they will close the door. They are nice and will try to help you as much as they can. Tips: -Bring food with you If you want to cook closest supermarket is 1-2h away -Visit the dragon fruit farm next door -Ask for grilled fish :) -Check the homestay in The host profile (we stayed there also) and It was beyond great!Faris2016-07-06T00:00:00Z
My stay here was extremely good. I did a week of road trip around Bali and trying to find a place where I can rest and chill. This house was perfect. It has the Balinese spiritual feel in it, it's very modern with kitchen, wifi, hot water, a/c, tv, and a very nice pool. Not to mention the view. I really couldn't ask for a more chilling place. However, this place is a bit hard to find and it's located in a deep rural place. Read carefully the sign to Villa Bantes and ask around. I can't recommend a better place to chill. It's worth every penny.Nowinza2017-02-27T00:00:00Z
We were staying in Villa Bantes on Dec.2016-Jan.2017. This is very good opportunity to feel the Real Bali by yourself. Off course, it has pluses and minuses, but there are more pluses. I want to detail my experience in few categories: 1. Location: Villa is located in North Part of Bali. The road from the airport takes 4-5 hours by car. Villa is located in small village in real JUNGLES. It is amazing feeling to live inside nature. You can walk through bananas trees, coconut palms, lianas etc. You can watch the real life of Balian farmers; you can eat natural food etc. It has minuses also: you will not have European food there, the closest supermarket is in 40 minutes of driving, in neighborhood there are only local minimarts and markets. There is no qualifying medical assistance, only local paramedic in closest village. 2. Villa: Villa has huge land plot with tropical garden, sea view, and swimming pool. You can pluck mango or papaya from the tree in a morning! Swimming pool is not new but well, it is pleasant to swim there in the hot afternoon, while watching the sea and the jungles downstairs. Villa includes two building: #1 the Main Building with kitchen, dining zone, terrace, WC, storage room on the ground floor, and one masterbedroom with double bed, bathroom and terrace on the first floor; #2 Bungalow Building of one huge room with three beds (1 double and 2 x singles), bathroom and terrace. There is also cozy gazebo and beautiful family temple on the land plot. Me, my wife, and my 6 y.o. son were living in #2 Bungalow Building. It is real Balian house like in movies: wooden walls, carved ceiling, Chinese-style tiled roof, carved beds with baldachin etc. It was very atmospheric. Meanwhile it has bad sound insulation: you can hear jungles birds and animals, the rain, the wind, but there are also sounds of the village, which are not so romantic - cows, cocks crowing in a morning, neighbor's farmers talking and sneezing, etc. 3. Sea: There are two beaches: #1 with black sand in closest village (10-15 minutes by car), #2 with white sand in Lovina (50 minutes by car). The beach #1 is wild, with anglers' boats and without infrastructure. There is some garbage, but less than in South Balian beaches. The beach #2 is touristic and clean, there are shops, bars etc., it is well cleaned. Both beaches are good for swimming instead of South Balian beaches. There was NO WAVES (good for children), and the water was warm. It is sad that beaches are far away from the villa. 4. Service: Gede's team works very well. Three persons served us: #1 Ketut was our guide, he took us from the airport by car and showed us many interesting sites during few excursions (600 rupies per day ~$45, incl. car); #2 Yosef was like a steward, he watched everything in a house, organize cleaning, cooking, etc. He can also...Oleg2017-01-08T00:00:00Z
This was the most breathtaking villa I have ever stayed at, it was so beautiful we decided to stay another day! When we arrived up the patchy road to the villa (it's about 5km from the sea) We were greeted by Yogi and Nofi with a warm welcome and large coconuts for our tiring journey from Ubud. We were shown around and we were honestly taken back at how stunning the carved four poster bed, doors and the buildings were. I must say the bed was extremely comfortable! We arrived in the evening and a shower was a must the best thing about it was looking up at the stars and enjoying the view. The free breakfast of toast and peanut butter went down a treat, Nofi met us in the morning and she was attentive to all our needs even though there was a slight language barrier she understood with hand gestures. We were also given the option to eat at Gedes mother house for a fee, she cooked tradition Indonesia food which went down a treat. It's quite rural and hidden so a scooter is a must if you wish to go explore, this was also something Gede could provide. On the last night we sat on the balcony and watched the sun set over the sea it was stunning. I would for sure visit again I don't think the pictures do it justice!nav2016-05-21T00:00:00Z
The host canceled this reservation 13 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.Faris2016-06-28T00:00:00Z
Best stay ever. The staff is lovely, the hosts (Gede) answered all questions very quickly. He found us a driver to take us all day which show us fabulous places. There is some beautiful place around like the Sawan- sudajadi water falls, awesome .. It is possible to dine at the mom's hosts home , she cooks traditional food. She is a really good cooker. She cook the free breakfast also. The villa is clean, big and the pool overlooks a beautiful view. The villa is off the large cities, which gives much simple and typical appearance. Yogi and Nofi the two owners of the grocery store opposite come to occupy every day of the house, they are adorable and always attentive to our needs. Some of lovely people in this town. Thanks you for this beautiful experience.Cla2016-05-31T00:00:00Z
This place is very quiet with wonderful view. The price is very fair but it is far from everything. So if you are looking for peaceful location, this is the place for you. If you are looking for good food, forget it!! It is surely the worst place I have eaten in Asia. Well, it is not the manager's fault. The owner lives far from there, the price of meals are fixed. They are bought in the village. So the less the manager pays the food he gives you the more he earns. I think that's the reason why you eat so bad. That's a pity because it could be such a wonderful place!emmanuel2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

The Kazz villa was just as lovely as the pictures and the description on Airb&b web. We stayed there for about 3 weeks. We where picked up at the airport when we arrived by Balis most secure and polite driver. This was included in the rent. The staff at the villa was very service minded and solved any problem we had. The villa and the pool was cleaned 6 days every week. The area is very quiet and is perfect if you want relaxation and non stress environment. You have some cafes for breakfast and lunch, but you need to take taxi to get to restaurants for dinner. Most people hire a scooter but we did not because of the crazy trafic. I will recommand a stay at Kazz villa!marit2016-01-08T00:00:00Z
Great stay at the Kazz Villa. Lovely pool and well filtered. Wifi has a strong connection and was very reliable. Cleaning staff were extremely pleasant and friendly. Villa is well located just 200m to Barawa beach for surfing. Lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. Would definitely stay again.Edward2016-04-10T00:00:00Z

Good communication. House is in perfect location. Amazing pool. The beast feature!! I would stay again just for the pool. The water pressure on shower is really low - be aware. And yes there are bugs and rats but that is Bali. It has nothing to do with the house. Dot be alarmed.Keith2016-07-05T00:00:00Z
What you see on the pictures is what you get! Nice location and host. What you don't see on the pictures are the rats running around on the roof, both on the outside and the inside beams. That made us feel a little bit uncomfortable to be honest. Other than that it was good.Johannes2016-04-30T00:00:00Z
we had a wonderful time at Villa Kaz. the team even come over to the airport to greet us and showed our supir the villa location. the location is bit far off from the town but if you have supir or scooter it should be ok. the villa is as the picture provided by kal. it was a surprise to see there was a play pan for our 10 months old baby. we really appreciate it. Yanto the villa caretaker was very helpful to send and pickup our laundry. thanks Kal we had a good time at your villa.Shariza2015-10-14T00:00:00Z
The villa was just as pictured in the airbnb posting and close to the Berawa beach. The short walking distance to many surf breaks made this villa the choice for me. The surrounding area was very quiet and had a few restaurants and small bars which you could walk to. We rented scooters so we could access other amenities which is required should you stay here. We cooked our own meals quite often and we're happy to find the kitchen well equipped. The staff were amazing and helped us keep the place clean as well as fixed some problems we had with a bedroom door and the Internet cable which had been chewed through by a rat. The Internet was not good and I had to leave the villa to use a better wifi connection to complete work. We also had to rehang a broken bedroom door several times and after the second visit by the building manager it was finally fixed. All in all we enjoyed our time at the kazz villa and found it a good choice due to the location, price and staff. Great surfing beaches very close including berawa, old mans, batu bolong and Echo beachJason2016-02-25T00:00:00Z

If you finding a secluded place to relax your mind, body and soul, this is the place I would recommend. Basically this is an ideal place if you want to have a peaceful stay away from the town areas. And in return, you will get to experience the best ever beautiful seaview right from your doorstep or even your balcony! You don't have to plan your vacation ahead, as you can always do it last minute when you reach your stay here in Candidasa. On a side note, explore the area and you would find a good deal for certain water activities which I bet anybody would love it! You will feel welcome here in Candidasa especially from your neighbors staying around your villa. Try to talk to them, they are very friendly and nice people! There's alwaya an extra, bring yourself here to experience it first hand! Thank you Sandy for this wonderful place. I WOULD DEFINITELY VISIT CANDIDASA AGAIN! Or maybe even purchase a house here!Dinah2017-03-16T00:00:00Z
We had a really great time at Jacky's place. The location is great, set back from the street so it's not too noisy. I loved the diverse group of people living in the little group of houses, some tourist, some expats, and some locals. They were all so friendly too, they really made us feel like we were living there, not just visiting. Jacky keeps her place really nice, everything was in working order and clean. The bed is very comfy, and the shower was hot and consistent. Candidasas is in interesting little town, lots of shops and restaurants. Visit the Lagoon in the morning to see the lilies open. Climb the stairs at the temple for some nice views. Take a boat to the near by islands to go snorkeling. It's a great place to explore the East side of the island from.Tracy2017-02-26T00:00:00Z
Jacky's space was well appointed and in an amazing location super close to the water!! Her staffers of helpers were sweet and wonderful!! Cozy spot!!Paula2016-04-19T00:00:00Z

We had a good time at Jacky's place. The location is good (close to shops and restaurants) and the house looked just like in the pictures. Wayan, from Jacky's shop helps you when she can and does that well :) she even can help you with trips or a driver when you need one. We made a great trip to Mount Batur! We didn't sleep very well because the bedroom stayed very hot and one ventilator wasn't working so that was kind of a pity.. When you needed Wayan you could call or text her or go to her shop. She wasn't there everytime but helped us in a good way. The view during breakfast was great, looking over the sea.Sanne2015-11-11T00:00:00Z
We loved our stay at Jackys place it had a really cool relaxed beach vibe and the view was awesome as was being able to sit and enjoy the sounds of the waves crashing into the shore!!Jacky was great at getting in touch to make sure we knew where to go when we arrived.....the villa had everything we needed for our stay....the aircon,cable and wifi all worked perfectly.There were heaps of great restaurants nearby.The beach was really only accessible at certain times of the day because of the tide and with little children it was sometimes tricky as we had to walk across some concrete columbs and the waves could be a bit fierce!!!....but the water was lovely and there was a restaurant up the road that let us use the pool.All in all a wonderful stay!!Cristina2016-09-09T00:00:00Z

Ayanna is the perfect getaway location to stay at in Bali. My wife and I planned a spur of the moment holiday and the villa was exactly what we needed. Sebastian was prompt to respond and accommodating with our last minute planning. The team at Ayanna villas were welcoming even at the late hour of our arrival. The villa was prepared and a welcome drink greeted us. The villa is as shown in the photos. The pool is amazing and the villa is very private. The pool is surrounded by trees to help screen the neighbouring guest balcony from overlooking into the pool area. It was just my wife and I but the villa would work equally well for a family with kids or even two couples. On the first morning, a walk up to the office was all it took to arrange a scooter to hire for the entire stay. Transport sorted. Most of our time was spent lazing in the sun by the pool, which gets a good amount of sun through the middle of the day. The communal pool was our spot for late afternoon lazing, and was usually just us there. Canggu has a bunch of food options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The scooter allowed us to get to Echo Beach in a few minutes and Canggu proper in the same. The villas is well situated for the Sunday Canggu market which is just down the road and a quick scooter ride north will get to one of the main roads to get to Tanah Lot and other sights. We enjoyed our stay so much we even extended for another day. Definitely the place to stay. We will be planning our return trip soon.Glen2016-06-23T00:00:00Z
We loved our stay here! The villa is so beautiful and the staff are very friendly. The beds are really comfortable & the A/C & Wi-fi work really well. The staff will go out of their way to help you anytime. The kids loved the big public pool at the end which is really private and was a bonus. We never once saw anyone else there while we were there. My only advise would be to not use their laundry service which is an outside service. They lost my favorite shirt & ruined multiple others. We will definitely stay here again the next time we go to Canggu!Jock-Jeanette2016-08-17T00:00:00Z
A wonderful long stay in Ayanna was made even better by lovely and attentive communication prior to our stay and followed up with amazing staff on site. Nothing was a problem and as a family of four with young girls we thoroughly enjoyed the pool and being only a short scoot into Canggu hub. The villa itself was like a home away from home and extremely comfortable, being able to sit inside without worrying about mozzies is a rarity in Bali and suited us well. I would highly recommend this villa for your trip!Carolyn2016-07-26T00:00:00Z
The staff and the villa were very nice ! Mustika was available and communicative. The only bad thing was the cockroaches is the kitchen and the living room. Also we didn't know that the Canggu area was so complicated with transportation (no taxi, nojek). However our stay in this villa was lovely.Clara2016-09-30T00:00:00Z
Great villa & Great location. Staff were fantastic and super flexible with respect to checking out times etc.. No complaints everything went very smoothly and I would really recommend this place. A little away from the hustle and bustle of Canggu but with easy access to it all.Kristopher2016-02-20T00:00:00Z
The Vila is in a secure complex that is staffed 24hrs a day. The staff are very attentive but also give you lots of privacy. The Vila itself is spacious, clean and well decorated. The location is quite far away from the shops and beach but the staff help with transport. Overall had a very pleasant stay and would happily come back again.Philip2016-12-27T00:00:00Z
Spacious house (with no major issue with bugs) with nice and functional furniture. The splash pool is welcome to refresh from warn days. The common pool was most of the time private as nobody went there. Friendly and efficient staff that clean the house everyday. A scooter is required as the house is far from the beach and the main areas for waking. The staff is providing scooter rental (note: our scooter was a bit old but ok for our need). The WIFI was ok and the 4G (Telkomsel) signal is strong enough in the house. We recommend with no hesitation.Marc2017-04-08T00:00:00Z
Ayanna sits among other villas in a private road with a guard. It has a seclude and safe atmosphere. By the time of our visit some units where undergoing renovation and yet we could hear the noise I did not see or was bordered by anyone. Staff was absolutely helpful and, as said in other review, intuitive. They offer good reasonable options for food delivery, transport and spa. The downside for me was the formigation carried out without warning taking us by surprise at the pool and having us locked in until the cloud would dissipate. Location not central in Canggu but neither is far out of the buzz (beware of dogs if you decide to take a night stroll to Deus) The space is unpretentious but smart, very comfortable and well furnished. It definitely suits long stays and family holidays.Rafael2016-03-09T00:00:00Z

We cannot say enough about Villa Dahlia. In a word it is the "Four Seasons" of AirBnb villas that we have stayed at. And we have stayed at homes in Germany, Spain, Canada and America. An emaculate luxury home with a staff that waits on you hand and foot. The staff on our to short stay made us feel like family, not guests. The view speaks for itself.frank and lori2015-05-07T00:00:00Z
We had a beautiful stay at Villa Dahlia. The location and villa are absolutely gorgeous, even more stunning in person. The staff were wonderful, very helpful but also gave us privacy. Danny was so helpful and really easy to communicate with. The food was delicious, overall our expectations were exceeded. We can't wait to stay at Villa Dahlia again!Heidi2016-02-06T00:00:00Z
We stayed at Villa Dahlia for the first 4 nights of our trip! They organized a driver to pick us up from the airport. We had Putu, who was very helpful and knew every detail of the island. We arrived very late due to our flight, so we met the night guard who patrols the villa. In the mornings, two wonderful ladies cooked us breakfast (not included) and cleaned our rooms and took very good care of our needs. Every single staff there were very sweet and welcoming. The villa was reserved for my mother and I, so we had a huge place all to ourselves! It is very clean, the view of the ocean is phenomenal, and relaxing! The driver putu took us on tour all over the island so we were able to do so much in the time we had! We were more than pleased with our very first trip to Bali. We will definitely be coming back :)MASAKO2014-03-04T00:00:00Z
My husband Steven and I celebrated our Honeymoon at Villa Dahlia and it was a experience we will never forget! The staff makes you feel welcome from the minute you arrive, they are there to introduce themselves and all the villa has to offer. The Villa is absolutely STUNNING, top of the line Luxury! For it just being the two of us, we were totally spoiled with all the space, the view, the staff, it was amazing. The bedroom had it's own ac unit which saved us from being uncomfortable. The bathroom was large and gorgeous. The living area was huge with plenty of areas to relax, same with the outdoor lounging options. The pool was clean and relaxing, we took a few days to just hang out in it and let all our stress wash away! The staff at Villa Dahlia takes this paradise to another level. The ladies are so friendly and accomodating. They cleaned our room every morning while we ate breakfast, they served us breakfast on the terrace and any other meal we requested. They were at the Villa till the evening in case there was anything else we needed or wanted. The Chef at the Villa was SPECTACULAR! It was so hard to leave to eat anywhere else because she was so amazing. Everything we had on the menu was delicious, her Chicken Satay, peanut sauce, Gado Gado, my mouth is watering just thinking of it all. She was incredible and accomodating to our request. My husband loves Sambal so she cranked up the heat in his dishes and he was extremely pleased. Finally Putu, the driver made this trip everything to us, he took us on tours we wouldn't have thought of, places we'd never have the opportunity to see if he hadn't suggested it. He was an incredible host, very friendly, very knowledgable and we will never forget how awesome he was with us. In all our honeymoon at Villa Dahlia was everything we'd hoped it would be and so much more. When I look back at all of it though, I will always remember the view from the sliding doors looking out to the ocean at dawn or sunset, all those amazing colors and I'll remember the incredible staff that took care of us and how wonderful they all were to us.Ashley2016-10-17T00:00:00Z
Everything was above my expectations! I hired this home for a staff retreat followed by a private retreat for our top clients and it's been an amazing experience for our business! Would recommend to anyone.Grace2017-01-24T00:00:00Z
This villa is spectacular! We did not want to leave. It has the breath-taking view with spacious indoor and outdoor area. The immaculate condition of the villa is truly satisfying. We could not relax more by soaking ourselves in the infinite pool. All the staff are very very friendly and helpful. It was really enjoyable to have breakfast by the pool with the ocean view. Will definitely come back. Well done Danny. Thank you very much.Yujing2015-02-14T00:00:00Z
Villa Dahlia is an absolutely stunning property - excellent architecture, gorgeous views, beautiful sounds of the ocean all day make for a real escape from it all. We spent 10 days in March 2013 at the Villa and it was a wonderful experience. The hosts Danny and Lia were extremely helpful and responsive in the reservation process and the staff appointed at the Villa is very professional - they are on call 24/7. After spending 10 days around the island of Bali, we didn't find a better view than the Villa itself. The views, service and space of the villa is much better than any four seasons or Aman resort in Bali. I hope to visit the island again and stay at the Villa! :)Mae2013-03-27T00:00:00Z

Great villa! Well worth the money we paid for. Check in and it was a breeze. Are is located in a nice part of Seminyak. Cafes nearby and there is also a 24 hours convenience store located 100 metres away. Pool is was excellent with a great size. Everything was working well with hot water too. Would recommend this to everyone. Thank you Chris.Faisal2017-03-05T00:00:00Z
You get a huge 2 bedroom home, complete with pool, garden, open air kitchen, cleaning lady and all the privacy you can muster for less than a night at a hotel with less amenities. You cannot go wrong! The rooms are beautiful, the bathrooms could use some TLC as well as the kitchen but as you need, everything is at your fingertips. The property is a short walk from everything, beach included! You can kick it out in the hustle and bustle or keep it low key at the villa. We also felt very secure at the villa and there was the perfect balance of sun and shade. Would definitely consider staying here again if my path brings me back around these parts!Sunil2017-04-02T00:00:00Z

Огромное спасибо за шикарный отдых на фантастической Villa Buddha! Вилла очень красивая, точно как на фотографиях. Мы путешествовали группой из 10 человек. В аэропорту нас встретили, дорога до виллы была долгой, но по приезду мы были приятно удивлены красотой и чистотой виллы. Хочется отдельно отметить дизайн виллы. Потрясающий декор и свет. Утром, когда мы проснулись и вышли из своих комнат, мы были поражены еще сильнее: вилла поразила своими размерами и местом расположения, теплое и приветливое море с черным вылканическим песком, плескалось в двух шагах! Кроме этого с утра нас ждали потрясающе приветливые 4 девушки, которые уже накрыли нам стол к завтраку и ждали нас с улыбками! Покормив нас они просто растворились, чтобы прибрать наши комнаты! Они так же готовили для нас ланч и ужин. Еда была самой вкусной, которую мы ели на Бали! В лаундж-комнате есть прекрасная подборка музыки и фильмов. Мы провели чудесное время на великолепной вилле Будда, хотелось бы нам приехать туда еще? Безусловно - ДА! Единственный нюанс - это мусор на берегу, который приносит с океана, с рыбацких деревень, но садовник два раза в день чистил пляж и возле виллы можно было купаться, вода была чистой.Жанна2017-01-17T00:00:00Z

Paul was a great host along with his services, taxi and cleaning staff. The villa is very lovely, a great space, cozy, the pool looks perfect (however we did not enjoy). There is a bit of wear and tear as the building is not brand new, but it does the job. The water from the taps may smell but does not leave smell on you. Wifi works great, AC works well, kitchen stocked with essentials. Walking distance to Seminyak, bars, restaurants, convenience stores, etc. Longer walk to beach, take a taxi or rent a scooter, very cheap anyway, as it can be hot!Monaco2017-03-19T00:00:00Z
We couldn't have asked for more from Paul as a host. His communication was quick and very informative. Any problems we had he got sorted straight away. The villa has a great comfy living area with a lovely pool. I would probably say it was slightly more suited to couples due to the glass doors on the ensuites but we managed to get round this. The villa is in walking distance (20 mins) from the centre of Seminyak. You could walk to the beach but we preferred to get a cheap taxi. Overall we loved our stay here and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Thank you Paul!Jen2016-10-22T00:00:00Z
From the first email with Paul, I knew we had made a great choice staying here. When we got to the house, we certainly weren't disappointed. It has a beautiful layout - we were all near each other without being on top of each other, so great for travelling as a family or as couples. The pool was great after a day of sightseeing, and whilst the kitchen is fully functionable, why would you when you are so close to all the great restaurants around. This wasn't our first time to Seminyak, so we knew what we were after, and were super impressed. This will definitely be our house of choice each visit now. 5 Star *****Maree2016-07-16T00:00:00Z

Very beautiful view on the ricefield and incredible house. Everything is open and it's an amazing experience. Geko and frog were our friends. Very warm welcome! :) Highly recommanded, better with scooter for the evenning for the dinner (even if it's possible to be deliver at the house)!Romane2016-07-22T00:00:00Z
Andrea was a very gracious host, we had a lot of issues finding the place, mainly because the gps not being up to date and being sent in the wrong direction. But Andrea waited for us and was very patient and helpful. The house was very tidy and pretty much as shown in the pictures. It was an absolute pleasure staying in her villa and I highly recommend it.Nadya2016-09-04T00:00:00Z

Andrea and Lucas were excellent hosts. We stayed there for 6 nights. The villa is gorgeous and we'll thought out. Both Lucas and Andrea provided us with excellent tips and suggestions. We also rented scooters, very useful.Johans2016-08-01T00:00:00Z
We really enjoyed our stay in Lucas's villa. He was a great host and very helpful and prompt with anything we needed. Its a very quiet and relaxing area of Bali, not so many tourists. The villa is very comfortable with aircon in the bedrooms. The open air kitchen/ living area is beautiful, with a great little spa to cool off in. The views are lovely over the rice fields with a glimpse of the ocean and amazing sunsets every night!. It was only a 5 min scooter ride to the local beaches and about 7 ks to Tanah lot. I definitely recommend staying here if you want to get out of the rat race of kuta and well and truly relax. Not so many places close to eat but Lucas is in the process of building a restaurant from more sea containers just next door and the kitchen is well equipped so we mostly cooked for ourselves. Canggu is only about 20 mins away anyway if you wanted to eat out.Mathew 2016-03-17T00:00:00Z
The villa is exactly like the picture, a lovely quiet villa with fantastic rice field views. It had 3 spacious air-conditioned bedrooms, really fit to families or group. We had such a lovely time staying in there. Also Andrea is friendly and helpful. They don't provide breakfast, but I heard Lucas is working on his new restaurant project near the villa, we're looking forward to have a meal in there for our next visit. Thanks to our lovely host!Sherlia2016-09-11T00:00:00Z

Situated down a quiet laneway off Jl. Laksmana near Ultimo restaurant.Impressive garden entrance and inviting pool. A perfectly positioned family size bale to relax. Open kitchen dining lounging area spaceous and personable. Bedrooms comfortable and beautifully furnished with outdoor garden bathroom. Interesting display of decorative antique pieces throughout Vayu. Delicious breakfast. Friendly genuine staff made mornings a treat. Hubby, daughter and I enjoyed our time at Vayu and will be back to relax again in the pool and bale. Thankyou for sharing your space with us James.Big hug to Desak and Eka and Made for making us feel at home.Christine2016-12-05T00:00:00Z
Villa Vayu is a real sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of Seminyak - but so close to everything when you need it. For 2 females travelling on our own we felt perfectly safe at all times. The photos are accurate and the finishes are all top quality. The staff (Eka and Desak) were so helpful and particular with cleanliness - nothing was a bother for them. Our friends were so envious seeing our photos online during our stay, and we will be happy to recommend Vayu for anyone also visiting Seminyak. Hopefully we will get a chance for a future visit. Well done James and staff.Sharon2016-11-27T00:00:00Z

AMAZING Photos don't do this place justice A stones throw from all the centre of Seminyak yet so quiet and secluded The villa itself is beautiful and the 2 rooms are very separate and private An amazing little oasis in the heart of town The staff are what set this place apart , the daily custom breakfast made in the kitchen was a god send and the staff are able to help with the tours, transport and activities Desak is an angel and has been working here over 5 years The fridge is stocked with drinks that you just replace before checkout I will 100% be returning , cannot beat it for value, location and serviceNed2017-03-11T00:00:00Z
Villa Vayu is an oasis in the heart of a very busy section of Seminyak. Once within the grounds it is quiet and very private. The staff are exceptional with Indonesian breakfasts the greatest start to the day. Great restaurants are within 5 minutes walking and plenty of great shops. Seminyak Markets is about 15 minutes walking with more bargains and local handicrafts. The staff can arrange any tours, laundry, driver etc. Just ask each morning. The rooms are air conditioned, large and well appointed. The pool is perfect and well maintained. The beautiful garden is lush and fragrant with beautiful flowers. Was thrilled with every aspect of the stay.Peta2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

He offers tours for a very good price and there is a beautiful garden at his place where you can chill out and have drinks and delicious food for a very reasonable price. The room was super clean and there was more than you need! Rudy does his "job" with lots of passion and we can highly recommend this beautiful place. I hope we can come back one day. Thank you so much for everything!Leonie2016-10-14T00:00:00Z
Very sweet host and always wanna help. Exactly that kind of host you want to have. The room is the best we had for the price through our 2 months travel. The pictures is what you get and you even get fridge (with freezer), water tank (tasted decent) and a small gas stove so you can cook water and do basic cooking. Most Überdrivers and taxis wont find here on first try so always keep adress with you, but the location is worth it when you get there and is quiet in the evenings. Cost 20 000 IDR taxi to get to where you want to be in Denpasar from the house.Diddepidde2016-05-31T00:00:00Z

A beautiful house and garden with a lovely pool in a peaceful and remote part of Bali. If you want night life and masses of restaurant choices, this place is not for you, but if you want the real Bali, this large, spacious house is ideal. We mostly cooked for ourselves (having stocked up on provisions in Carrefour in Kuta en route) there are a couple of hotels along the coast and the staff at the villa will also cook for you. The gardens are beautiful and well tended, pool looks out over the ocean. An idyllic location.margaret2017-03-03T00:00:00Z
We enjoyed having our own villa right on the beach, but difficult to find as the map was not accurate. Large deep pool was perfect for cooling off after exploring the surrounding waterfalls and art gallery. Staff very efficient and friendly with fairly good English. Large bedrooms with extremely large bathroom with two showers!! Enough room in the living area for two extra people to sleep. Plenty of furnishings but I would have liked more pillows on the wooden lounge area. Great view in a lovely garden setting.Suzan2016-03-16T00:00:00Z

Let me start off by saying "I LOVE the Chrome OS system". It is simple, elegant & very functional. With the inclusion of Android apps in the future releases it will get even better. I ran a "pseudo" Chrome OS & then I installed a stand alone Chrome via Cloud Ready. The install was easy & I enjoyed the OS for several weeks. Then a thought occurred to me. Why?
I was going to buy a Chromebook, but ended up re-purposing my wife's old Win 7 notebook for my use. The battery is pretty much shot, but I'm not planning on taking it anywhere, so it will always be plugged in. So I wiped it & installed Chrome. If I had purchased a Chromebook I would be forced to make things work within that ecosystem. But I have a full computer, so I don't have those limitations. A better choice is Linux with Chrome browser & apps. That way I can use the apps of the Chrome OS world & still have a full OS to get other things done. Plus with a full OS like Linux I have a lot more options for system customization, more choice in programs to run & I can put items on the desktop; something that Google left out of Chrome OS.
So there is my final word on Chrome OS. If that is the only choice you have, no problem. If you don't care about tinkering with your system, great. Chrome OS will do most of the things that the average user will ever need & more. It is a beautiful & very fast system, that is a joy to use. I really can't say enough about it & I hope Google does really well with it & Android. But, if you are a geeky power user like myself, it can feel a bit limiting to you. I am really loving my new Linux install, much more than Windows & I feel it is the best option on a PC or laptop. It has come a long way & is now super easy to install, use & is very compatible with hardware. It is also as geeky as you want it to be, allowing you to customize anything you want.
I love Chrome, Android, Linux, Mac OS, Chromium, Remix even windows. I just love computers & gadgets. They all have their qualities & problems. I feel that Windows has finally met its match with the new generation of OS's & the market reports show a definite shift as well. The future looks bright for computers & I can't wait to see what is coming NeXT.
