Seminyak can be quite busy but when the driver turns in the street of Villa Samuan you enter a silent and green oase in Seminyak. Of course we had seen the beautiful pictures of the villa online when doing our research, but when we entered we were astonished by the looks of the villa. The villa was very impressive, it was even more beautiful then on the pictures shown. Seminyak area can be quite busy with clubs, shop and dining but this villa in the Oberoi area was situated in a quite and very green street.
The villa has a kolonial atmosphere with a great eye for detail and symmetrie. The atmosphere was relaxed. The staff told me that the owner of the villa is a architect who regularly visits the villa himself so that explains things I guess. The staff: servants, cook, gardener, guards and driver were friendly, genuinely interested and very service minded. They all speak english rather well. We were picked up from the airpoort and after that everything was taken care of by the staff, so we were feeling relaxed in no time.We booked the regular masseuse of the villa and we could tell she has a lot of experience and was very good. We made three daytrips with the driver to discover Bali. Downsides? : I don’t really know. Perhaps that when we came home we had to get used to do most of the daily chores ourselves again and not have the lovely Puspa around anymore to fix us a nice breakfast or Gin Tonic 😉
