After traveling through other more populated areas of Bali (Seminyak, Ubud, and Lovina) we ended our stay at this lovely Villa in Jasri Beach. We were greeted by Dani's warm smile. She took us through the Villa to ensure we knew where to find everything and and walked us through the basics of the property.
As others have reported, the pictures do not do the villa justice. The inside (where we spent little time, other than sleeping) was clean, cute, and more than enough space for my husband and myself. The outdoor area was simply spectacular. The dining area has a perfect view of Mount Agung which is one of the most picturesque views that will be forever burned in our memory. It looked different from morning until sunset. The gazebo seating area was a perfect place to enjoy reading and relaxing and when you got hot, simply roll into the pool. In the evening we climbed up the lookout in the front of the house for a view of the beach which is a two minute walk across the street. We went to bed to the sound of waves crashing (it really is that close that you hear the sound of the ocean while enjoying the villa).
We had Dani cook a meal for us the first night of our stay so we could get an authentic taste of Balinese food. She was ready to ensure our tastes were met (what type of food did we want, what spice level, any special restrictions, etc). She ended up whipping up four uniques dishes that each had a flavor of their own and it was an amazing dinner again with Mount Agung in the background. The other nights we cooked for ourselves (made easy with the well equipped kitchen). On the way to the villa we stopped at a local grocery store for supplies, but there are also plenty of markets not far and some local Warungs right on beach. We walked down to the beach in the evenings which came alive with local families - happy kids playing in the water, families eating dinner on the beach. There were hardly any other tourists in this area and we felt we had a true sense of Bali just being among the locals.
Ketut was the driver we were pointed to and he was an amazing tour guide for our daily adventures. He gave us lots of insight about the area and was happy to help us see some of the local sights, including Virgin Beach which will be among my top 5 beaches visited during my lifetime!
Everything about our experience with this property was fantastic. Would recommend to anyone looking for the quieter side of Bali.
