  We had an amazing stay at villa Samadhana for our wedding. The entire villa is beautiful and made for some excellent photos of our ceremony. The staff was very attentive and helped us out with any big or small problems we had. The meals they prepared were delicious as well we enjoyed our American Breakfast, our welcome BBQ and especially the pizza and french fries. We absolutely loved our stay in this little piece of paradise.

The cooking was superb and we have all missed the chef's meals on our return home. Two of our party did not leave the villa they felt so relaxed in the surroundings and the four small children had a wonderful time. For those who did go out, the expertise of the driver was much appreciated.

  Christine Cook, New Zealand

  AK, Afghanistan

• September 15th, 2012 - September 23rd, 2012

  Samadhana is a beautiful villa with expansive gardens and living areas. Its location is some distance from the tourist & shopping areas of Bali however this adds to its charm, set within a traditional balinese fishing village you get to experience the cultural side of Bali. Villa staff were great, always willing to help with a smile. Our kids loved all the attention and the food was always delicious. One tip please get a coffee machine.... We would stay at Samadhana again.

  Paul Nicholls, Hong Kong

• April 26th, 2012 - April 29th, 2012

  Really nice and good villa. Considering the villa has big area, better if we can stay more than 10 person. 15 person better. I will come again someday... really excellent villa.
