We stayed for 14 nights in Gaya Villa 1. Wow! From the moment we walked in, it was like like walking in to sheer luxury. Our very friendly driver Dewa, had picked us up from the airport (part of the package)and taken us to our Villa. I had expected it to be something like real estate where you see the pretty pictures, and then you see it in situ, and you think you're looking at another place...well, this was EXACTLY how it is pictured.
Marco (owner),met us at the Villa, and gave us the grand tour. The lights were on, the aircon cooling and the fans were going. It was perfect after our 6hr flight then 1 hr in Bali humidity, at 11pm at night. There were biscuits and treats on offer, and the fridge had milk, juice, softdrink, bread, eggs, bottled water, jams etc, to help us settle in for the evening. There was also complimentary coffee, tea, hot chocolate, every sauce you cld imagine, s & p, sugar, oil, etc, which was replenished daily. We also had never-ending access to cool fresh drinking water, which was a God-send.
The Villa inside was absolutely spotlessly clean and well-maintained. The beds were wonderfully comfy, and there were even pretty balinese nets to protect us from the nasties at night.(they also provided insect repellant, shampoo, soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, & moisturiser) You literally didn't need to bring anything else but yr clothes, and even then, not too many! It is such a private Villa that we weren't even worried about skinny-dipping on the very warm nights! The bedrooms had aircon and the living area had fans. We never felt uncomfortable or too hot..and this was over the xmas period as well( mid summer). The kitchen was fully-equipped, and the pool was absolutely beautiful and very well maintained, as was the small yard. The cleaners visit every day and were always very polite and friendly. Any problems we had, Marco was just a phonecall away. He also provided us with a Bali sim card which was great, as we used it all the time to order food, and call an Uber. Uber is the best, and it's so cheap, as well as delivery for take away is only 15000Rp which equates to $1.50 AUD...so no need to 'go out' for dinner, if you don't want to..Brilliant.
I would highly recommend Gaya Villa 1 to everyone! We had a fantastic time!
Gaya Villa is walking distance to many shops and grocery places, with a 'mini mart' 50metres from the Villa, otherwise, just Uber, as it's so cheap!!
Thankyou Gaya Villa & Marco. You guys rock!
