        <p itemprop="description">Where to start...
Villa Patria is like no place that I could ever have imagined. It is truly beautiful.
It is about a 3 hour drive from Legian but so picturesque.
You drive through some of the most amazing mountains. Jungle all around you. Our lovely driver recommended stopping to take in the 3 lakes that sit at the bottom of the mountains. Well worth it. 
On arrival at Villa Patria you are greeted by Oka ( Villa Manager) & his wonderful staff.
The Villa is perched up on the hill top with views of the jungle ( to your right) & the ocean from the balcony.
The staff are so accommodating & nothing is a hassle.
The kitchen staff are high class chefs. I have eaten some of the healthiest and most amazing dishes that I have had in my life. All produce is fresh daily from the Markets. Highly recommend the Pork Belly & Chocolte Fondant. Out of this world. I am packing all staff in my suitcase to take home. Sorry, Mike.
The rooms are gorgeous. Comfortable beds, soft linen, large spacious bathroom. The villa is private with your own varanda & day beds overlooking the view towards the ocean. 
Villa Patria is very private & quite. It's a place to come & stay to re charge the batteries. Take the day at your own leisure. Beautiful gardens & an Infinity pool to die for.
I HIGHLY Recommend you stay here.
Thank you to all the beautiful Bali staff for making us feel at home.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">One night not enough after a busy business trip, felt so relaxed, rejuvenated, after a dew days I would be in heaven (up in the clouds in the wet season).  I would go back at any time, including the wet season, so restful and relaxing and suited the stunning location.  Enjoyed the drive to Lovina seeing the non populist parts of Bali.  Not too far for even a one night stay.
Food was five star, especially the ginger gelato. 
Loved the fact the staff were there, non intrusive but attentive.
Swimming in the pool on the hillside felt like floating in heaven and helped me with  an eleven hour sleep the night I stayed, there must be something in the air at Villa Patria.  Thanks to Mike, Dety and staff.

        <p itemprop="description">Un séjour de rêve. L'endroit est isolé et pas facile d'accès (petite route à forte pente). La villa est simplement sublime. Un point de vue une piscine, du mobilier, bref un décor paradisiaque. Nous avons bénéficié d'un repas d'une grande finesse, pris sur notre terrasse. Il en va de même pour un petit déjeuner de très bonne facture. A propos de facture, il est vrai que le séjour n'est pas donné, mais le jeu en vaut la chandelle. Bien tassé dans votre fauteuil avec la mer à l'horizon, et les oiseaux faisant écho aux grenouilles, comme fond musical, vous ne regretterez pas le déplacement. On vous conduira tôt le matin pour l'observation des dauphins, mais cela c'est un autre débat. Là vaut mieux éviter et rester au bord de cette fabuleuse piscine.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">Sitting in an upper tier of a natural amphitheatre in the mountains of northern Bali provides a view to the coast and a vast sky that blends with the horizon of the Bali sea.

Villa Patria’s panorama stimulates feelings of peace and tranquillity, light years away from the frenetic, overcrowded tourist trap in the south of the island.

Up here it’s still possible to hear the local gamelan orchestra practice well into the night accompanied by a frog and gecko orchestra.

There’s no reason to leave the villa because the staff provide quality food and service 
in a professional unobtrusive style.

An Asian experience without beggars and touts and the associated hassles.
A space for introspection and relaxation, with a view to infinity.

        <p itemprop="description">We were excited to stay at Villa Patria as it looked so good in the pictures but were even more delighted when we got there as it exceeded our expectations! Firstly the views and setting are spectacular. The gardens and grounds are beautiful. Set high up on a jungly ravine the views to the coast are dramatic. 
Staying at Villa Patria is like staying at a very elite colonial estate as the chosen guest as there is only one guest villa. The main house is very grand and almost like a museum filled with gorgeous antiques and art. Breakfast and dining on the main verandah was very special we felt like royalty.
Probably the best thing about this place is the wonderful staff. Oka the manager is a really lovely charming man who couldn't have made a better guide. An excellent driver and incredibly knowledgeable about the local area and village. As a local he was able to take us all around the area and show us life in the village and the local customs including the amazing clove industry going on all around you.
Ketut and Putu the boys in the kitchen cooked us incredible food!! So delicious and the best desserts I've ever tasted. All the staff were so very lovely and the relaxed, discreet perfect service was unbeatable.
We were very sad to say goodbye and will definitely return whenever we can as it was so very special.
A huge thank you to you all!!
With love the Swain Family.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">The house is one of the nicest places I have ever had the privileged to stay in - a real cultural experience, such fine finishing touches to the traditional home set in the most relaxing lush tropical gardens. The bed linen so soft and silky, the bathroom so cleverly designed with a shower under the stars...all the finest wood finishes, interesting art, loads of books to read, a well thought out little kitchen and a menu and staff that kept us smiling from start to finish. The night life is interesting with an orchestra of frogs and insects creating a real 'lost in the jungle experience' The house is fairly close to a little road and the occasional straining scooter engine reminds one that people are around, but it was never too much. The views are so relaxing I was happy to just sit on the veranda and do nothing all day. Great pool. I cannot think of anything negative, just wonderful !!! Thanks</p>

        <p itemprop="description">My wife and i have just returned from a month in Bali after a low key wedding and booked a number of different spots to stay at around Bali and Lombok. Mike and Dety's Villa 'Villa Patria' was definitely the highlight of our trip and his team lead by Oka and Wayan were nothing short of exceptional. The 5 days we spent there was the only stretch of our trip where we truly felt in honeymoon mode. The food was amazing and the property and facilities beyond any expectation we could have dreamed up.

If you are after a truly authentic Bali experience this area is one of the few that still possess this quality, unspoiled by tourism and home to locals that haven't been overrun by Westerners! You will hear echos of 'Hello' from children as you pass every house as you walk down the hill towards Lovina Town centre. Given Patria is not located in a busy area it also makes the price amazingly affordable. You'll pay almost $1000 US for something like this down south. 

I wouldn't put a price on our experience though. Just do yourself a favour and experience it for yourself. I'm sure after you do the review below this will reflect similarly on the place to this one!
