        <p itemprop="description">The family has just returned from a 7day stay in villa 6. WOW is the only real word for this villa and staff. Rusmini was fantastic and cooked perfect food every time. Anthony and Kay were wonderful as the security guards. The kids had a ball playing uno with them and kicking the ball around. Lovely people, place and culture. We will return!</p>

        <p itemprop="description">A lovely location away from the direct hub bub of Seminyak but close enough to utilise taxi or scooter to get in / out if required. 
The Villa is located off the main road and security is provided by a 24hr staff. It is close to a local shopping market to enable you to buy essentials if required. Within a short taxi ride radius there are some decent restaurants, cafes and Spas, which deliver to the Villa if you don't want to leave. Don't expect to be walking to the beach but taxis are available and don't cost much to take you there.
The villa was always spotlessly clean and a bar fridge topped up daily with your choice was a bonus if you did not get the time to buy anything whilst out.
The staff were super friendly and very accommodating to any requirements, no matter how trivial. Rosmeenee (the house keeper and chef) was fantastic and unobtrusive when she was there, she just gets on with it no matter you are doing. She will take care of all laundry needs (there is no washing machine or ironing facilities directly available) and they are generally back within 24hrs. She was a fantastic chef and produced superb breakfasts and meals if required. The pool - although not massive was good for cooling down but don't expect to be swimming laps. It was always clean and the garden area was well maintained throughout our stay by the gardener. PUTO (the villa manager) was always on call to provide any assistance required with drivers or activities.
Although not a detriment, the surrounding villas may have some parties as well as you, which in turn turns up the noise from local dogs and party goers but really it becomes back ground noise eventually.   
A good area and relaxing environment, supported by professional staff. During pre booking / arrival Kay was always available to answer questions and provide advice.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">Retreat 6 is fabulous. Beautifully decorated and lovingly maintained, we could not fault it. 

Kay was fantastic to deal with and quick to respond to our enquiry (especially appreciated as we were desperate to escape the terrible villa we had booked into through another site). We were warmly welcomed into Retreat 6 and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and well appointed as were the living and dining room but our favourite place to hang out was poolside on the large and comfy daybeds.

Rosmini was our chef and housekeeper and she was simply amazing. She prepared beautiful meals, shopped for us, organised laundry and went out of her way to make us comfortable and meet all our needs. Plus she has the most beautiful smile!  The security team were friendly and always helpful with transport, bags and all our comings and goings.

This villa has loads of extras that make your stay all that more comfortable - toiletries in the bathroom, welcome pack of goodies and a stocked 'minibar' of cold drinks (at very reasonable prices), a mobile phone for local calls, fun pool toys - even umbrella's at the door. The villa guide is really comprehensive and has loads of useful information. You couldn't ask for more. 

We loved every minute of our stay and would definitely go back.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">We needed a place for a photo shoot for a birthday gift, and there were some last minute deals (and we only wanted the one night).  The villa did not disappoint.  Beautifully laid out and well appointed, the decor is wonderful and the pool just great.  There is plenty of room to stretch out.  The maid/cook did an excellent discrete job and although we didn't avail ourselves of the evening meal, the continental breakfast was a very nice touch.  It's very close to the basic shops and within short travel distance of many tourist hot spots.  Well worth the money and I'll be using these villas again should I have visitors.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">Our whole family absolutely loved our stay at Umalas Retreat IIb.  Everything was wonderful from initially dealing with Kay to arriving at the beautiful villa.  So much space to relax in for the 5 of us after some exhausting days.  The villa was beautifully decorated, the garden felt like you were in paradise and the kids hardly left the pool.  The highlight was Rusmini's cooking which was better than any restaurant food we had and so nice not to have to worry about cleaning the kitchen afterwards!  Kay also popped in to meet us on our last day and was kindly able to direct us to the shop to get the same gorgeous cushion covers that were in the villa - thanks so much Kay!  We can't wait to visit again.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">Our stay at Umalas retreat was perfect. It was our first time staying at a private villa and now I think I'll get addicted to it. It felt like home with luxury of a five star hotel. Tastefully done villa, with all the necessities one could think of- books to read, games, DVDs, local mobile phone and above all a full time housekeeper/ cook Rusimi who took great care of us. Being a vegetarian travelling in South East Asia can be difficult. But thanks to Rusimi who cooked everything according to our needs. The villa is a bit secluded (am used to staying in hustle bustle) but 24 hours guard outside makes you feel secure. Added bonus was the driver facility so we didn't have to struggle with anything. Would recommend it to all my friends.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">Just returned from our second stay at Villa 2 and it did not disappoint! Everything was wonderful, the only problem is we only stayed a week and I still had so much relaxing and exploring to do! Our first trip we didn't leave the villa much and this time we ventured further with our small kids. It was so great to have our meals prepared so after a morning or day out we were coming back to a clean villa and freshly cooked meal. The pool was a massive hit again, as was Rusminis amazing food. Lovely seeing Kay and Anthony pop by and for always having great tips (I'm coming back for my pillow shopping Kay!). Everything is so wonderful, we won't hesitate to book again. It ends up being really cost effective with the villa cook which means more holidays! Fantastic place for a family holiday!</p>

        <p itemprop="description">We stayed at Umalas Retreat for 7 days over Christmas. The villa is fantastic, the beautiful furnishings, friendly staff and ambience of this amazing place make it an oasis in paradise. Rusmini (the villa Chef/Housekeeper) is truly a lovely lady inside and out. We had our 6yr old daughter who is on the autism spectrum with us and Rusmini was so kind, always chatting with her and letting her help. We woke everyday to a warm smile and delicious breakfast. Rusmini was happy to help in every aspect of our trip - from cooking delicious meals, keeping our villa beautifully clean, booking taxi's, organising massages, purchasing the little extras we wanted from the grocery store. This is our second stay at Umalas and by no means our last. Kay Shearn (the villa owner) is very quick to respond to emails and no request is too hard. The villa manager and driver Putu will be your greatest friend outside the walls of Umalas, his recommendations and wonderful jovial nature make every exploration fun. The security staff are always welcoming and Happy to help with anything you need. I gad shopping delivered and taxis booked. Our family will be back to Bali many times and Umalas will be our first stop. See you soon Umalas family xx</p>

        <p itemprop="description">It was our first time staying in the Umalas and it did not disappoint. From opening the villa doors we immedietly felt at home and were welcomed with smiling faces. The entire villa is decorated PERFECTLY and I promise you will want to take a million photos of the place! We had the kindest house keeper who was always there with a gorgeous platter of fruit and hot coffee waiting for when we woke up. We travelled with our two toddlers (1 and 2.5yrs) and so it was very convenient that we could have any meals cooked for us rather then going out every day. It was very simple, each day we would choose from the in-dining menu what we would like to eat (nasi goreng- amazing!!) and if we would like a cooked breakfast the following day. Then Rusminiis would estimate the cost and we would give her some cash to buy the groceries, then she would come back in the afternoon with the receipt of the goods purchased. She would always stay through til after dinner to clean up and to prepare our bedrooms for night time. Our driver Putu was extremely helpful and took us on a day trip to Uluwatu and his prices were very good! He was also there to take us to the doctors when our son had a fall and we are very grateful to him for that. Around the Umalas area we found some really great furniture stores and it was nice to do some shopping away from the main streets. There was also security outside the villa at all times who were always smiling when we saw them, would call us taxis and would open the door for us. We felt very safe and secure with them there. Although we didn't get a pool fence, the villa was still quite good for the kids (of course you have to keep an eye on them) but the two bedrooms had locking doors and there was a basket with toys and dvds. There were frogs at night that also provided endless hours of entertainment. There is a pepito express grocery store at the end of the driveway which sells fruits and vegetables, breads, drinks and almost everything which is very helpful. Overall we had a wonderful time and we will DEFINITELY be back. Thank you to the wonderful team at the Umalas for our incredible stay! Xx @thesimplefolk_</p>
