        <p itemprop="description">Semadhi is a perfectly located, well maintained, and professionally managed villa. 

The gardens are lovely. The pool was warm and great for swimming laps.

The black sand beach is great for walking and the ocean waters here are perfect for a refreshing dip. The villa's comfortable, casual style was perfect for us. Puspa and his team were helpful and provided top notch service. Jero's cooking is fantastic.

The Pemuteran area is great for a low key and relaxing vacation.

Jane, the owner, Puspa and driver Made helped us locate something we left behind and had it delivered to us the next day in Ubud. We really appreciate their help.

Highly recommended</p>

        <p itemprop="description">We stayed at Villa Semadhi and Villa Wilali, and had friends next door at the Joglos for one blissful week. My husband, Sam and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at the villas. It was the most magical time we could have imagined! Everything about the week far exceeded the expectations we had. Upon walking onto the grounds my mouth dropped in awe; the property was three times larger than the photos portray. The beachfront design is elegant and the Villas are adjacent to one another, connectible via a black sand beach with placid waves. The ease of the earthy styles and beautiful gardens immediately promotes relaxation. 
Jane and Barnard helped to plan the week, organize lodging and airport transfer for our 27 guests, and provided everything for the ceremony & reception. The staff was on hand to tailor multiple outings for our large group. They made everything so easy! The food was delicious & plentiful. Each guest continuously expressed their delight in everything the villas offered. Sam and I were astounded by the time and effort Jane and Barnard put into making our wedding day a true delight. Made Puspa and the staff were on point the entire week and especially during our wedding day! The ceremony was the loveliest experience and the reception set up was beautiful. A traditional Gamelan Band with dancers performed afterward, and then the dinner was a big spread of Babi Guling (pig roast) with many delicious side dishes. We had a blast dancing and celebrating on the lawn after dinner with the DJ and some live music. 
Our week at Villa Semadhi will always be one of our finest memories, plus house and rooms were so lovely! The staff cleaned everyday and we always felt the rooms were nicely refreshed. We loved the small town of Pemuteran--it was nice to escape the hustle of Southern Bali. Snorkeling & diving around Menjangan Island was some of the best we've seen, and trip to Aling Aling Waterfall is a must. Motoring around town is a thrill, and we rented the scooters directly from Puspa at Villa Semadhi, easy. We are elated with our stay and hope that someday we can go back for a future anniversary. We highly recommend booking a stay at Villa Semadhi, it will surely be the highlight of your trip to Bali. There is no way to express our gratitude to Jane and Barnard we hope this review inspires more bookings at their unforgettable property!</p>

            <span>I am glad you liked the villa, but sorry to hear  the staff did not meet your expectations.  Most guests we have are very fond and positive of our staff and the service they provide. As many people like privacy they usually adjust to the clients wishes. Apparently communication was not clear in this case.  also their aim is to take your dayplan into consideration when they ask you what time you would like to have breakfast or dinner, in order to make sure it is ready on time. Some guests woud like breakfast at 7 and some at 10. This way they can attend to the guests wishes and also organize their own schedule for cleaning.  I am sorry the Wifi was not good during your stay. The standard in Bali is different from what we are used to in Europe. However we have an alternative available, that our  manager can give you if needed. I believe he supplied that the moment you mentioned the problem. In the meantime we are working on a better option for the wifi. Sometimes things break down, but as I understand from our manager the airconditiong was fixed as soon as you mentioned the problem.</span>

        <p itemprop="description">Upon arriving at the Denpasar Airport, our arranged driver was not there.  We were harassed to a great degree by the locals wanting to drive us.  We waited 1/2 hr. before he arrived and had what I would consider a rather harrowing and long (4 hours) drive.  Upon arriving at the villa, we were met with an absolute oasis in what i would consider a northern Bali fishing town.  We were more than well taken care of by Buspa (the manager) and the staff.  The accommodations were clean, the lawns well tended, the pool sparkling and the beach, well just okay.  On day 2 we wandered down the beach and once off the Villa property, the beaches are littered with garbage! This certainly saddened us as we love to stroll the beach and that was literally impossible.  Every day with the exception of 1 dinner, we ate in and the food was excellent…..why go anywhere else?  There was a terrific variety, it was fresh and always on time.  We snorkelled several times and the reef is absolutely gorgeous if you can get around the garbage.  So, I guess I state that the Villa was amazing but Permuteran both the village and the beaches were extremely dirty.  Would I go back?  Probably not, but Villa Semadhi was in exceptional condition!!</p>

            <span>We are happy you enjoyed villa Semadhi, but so sorry the driver was to late. We work with this company for 9 years now and something like this has never happened before.  Garbage in the ocean is indeed a problem during the rainy season. All the plastic is then washed out into the sea. We keep our part of the beach clean and also the village organized regular beach clean activities, but not on a daily basis. Awareness on garbage control is certainly growing, but it will take some time before it is up to standard. After March when the dry season starts, the situation is much better.</span>

        <p itemprop="description">Villa Semadhi treated our family of 7 (ages 3-55 yrs.) to the most fabulous 18 day vacation (May 13 to 31).  A big thank you to Jane and Bernard who ensured all our requests were fulfilled and a bigger thank you for having this great villa available for people like us to experience.

The villa is truly gorgeous with stunning property.  Everything just slips onto a stretch of coastline that will take your breath away.  Our beach was clean and reflected the breathtaking sunrises and sunsets we saw each day while laying on our beach chairs or floating in the refreshing pool.

What made this vacation so fantastic was the service and assistance of the villa staff.  The manager Puspa, was always available and made everything we asked for so special (love boat and poolside dinner).  He really did go over and above our expectations.  Even to locate mint leaves for us.  Thank you!  The villa's driver/guide was very knowledgeable and incredible at knowing just when to arrive at various destinations.  Every time we arrived somewhere there were no crowds. This talent of his was greatly appreciated especially when visiting the temples and snorkeling at Menjangan Island.

Everything offered was exactly the experience we were looking for.  We barley lifted a finger other than to open our drinks and move from the house to the pool.  We were pampered by all the staff. The pool and grounds were maintained to perfection, while the cleaning staff picked up and cleaned after all 7 of us and we made some messes.

The food was so good!  Jero is the cook who made sure we were fed on time, 3 times a day and it was magnificent!  With every bite, you can tell the quality of the produce and ingredients used were always fresh.  I read many reviews about this villa before making my choice and it was said many times that Jero produces the best food in Bali, well I don’t want to repeat a review, but she does.  I just wish I took one of her cooking classes to get to know how to make her Red Balinese sauce. Yum!

Incredible memories were made at Villa Semadhi that will last a lifetime for me and my family and I thank you all for that!</p>

        <p itemprop="description">We stayed for two weeks in Villa Semadhi and we enjoyed every single moment: the house is beautifully designed and furnished with a great eye and sense for detail. Beside that, it's very comfortable with its large rooms and bathrooms. For example: we enjoyed very much our comfortable outdoor, walled bathroom with an amazing tree and beautiful big plants.
During day- and evening time the garden is the place to be: for every moment of the day you can find several comfortable places to read, meditate or just relax in the shadow of flowering trees, such as the amazing 'frangipani' (Plumeria). Furthermore there's a lovely breakfast/lunch/dinner pavilion in the garden, surrounded by a pond full of fairy tale waterlilies and fishes. We just sat down, had a nice Balinese Bintang beer and waited for the wonderful Balinese 'cuisine' to surprise us! We were absolutely spoiled by the very friendly staff, not only with delicious meals, but also with a bicycle whenever desired and other small attentions.

I should not forget to mention the infinity pool, which is very well placed within this tropical paradise garden: we swam with a lovely view on the ocean at one side and the beautiful house on the other!

As for the surroundings of the villa, they are also worth a close look: we found some interesting temples and even attended a service in one of them. Furthermore there are several beautiful resorts at about 10 min. cycling. We were very welcome to walk around and take a look and pictures and to have a nice lunch or dinner at the beach. Every resort has its own character, so we visited them all! We also found some nice little giftshops and small 'warungs' (little restaurants). At last we made a very special trip to Menjangan Island by boat, where we went snorkling and saw the most amazing fishes and other creatures.

Last but not least we were truly touched by the unbelievable friendliness of the Balinese people: everybody smiles, says 'hello' or even asks where you're from and if you like Bali. Never before we met such friendly and open people!

No surprise: we truly and very enthusiastically recommend this villa and give it five stars!</p>

        <p itemprop="description">Bali is one of our favourite places and having visited the more common areas numerous times, we decided to venture further out this time. Unlike the touristy areas of Bali, Pemuteran offered us peace (there were no tourists anywhere else apart from the neighbours) and the sights on the journey to the villa were beautiful!
Villa Semadhi has an amazing location offering the best of both worlds - the sea directly in front and green velvety mountains close behind. The layout of the villa is perfect for family getaways as while the common areas were amply spread out to offer everyone some personal space when needed, they are all within sight of one another so you never have to 'look for a missing person' either.
The villa owners are incredibly helpful and reply promptly to all requests for assistance.  Especially for our group where we had to cater to some last minute changes due to logistical issues, Jane displayed an amazing amount of patience. Putra the villa manager was very pleasant and spoke better English than all other villa managers I have encountered.  He was ever ready to help make our stay as memorable as possible - just tell him what the group needs and he works magic!  The villa's drivers spoke good English too so they were able to interact and provide insightful local information during the travel of our day trips.  Jero cooks up an amazing feast every meal (best in Bali!) and leaves us wanting more now that we are back home.  Komang the boatman is polite and attentive, quick to pick up signals when differing abilities in the group require him to pick people out of the water.  The cleaning ladies tidied our bedrooms/dining/living areas routinely but could have benefited from a bit more initiative.  We had to ask them to clean "forgotten areas" and request for shower floor mats, dining/living room tissue boxes, pool towels, and replacement towels or there would be none.
Nonetheless, the trip was great overall for everyone. We look forward to a return trip.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">Beautiful island and beautiful villa. The staff were really friendly and the "in-house" cooking was delicious, all made with local fresh ingredients.  Plently of space in the villa which was always kept really clean.  The outside bathrooms were a real novelty! 
The village is really un-developed. No hassle at all from the usual traders on the beach and not a tourist shop in sight - brilliant.
The snorkeling was amazing (even better than the Great Barrier Reef) and the staff at Reef Seen are so passionate about the work they have been doing with the coral, the fish and the turtles. The staff there are full of information and very friendly.  
Guided walks around the interior of the islands showed us all the wonderful fruit and vegetables that are grown on the island; no wonder so many of the locals have never left the island.  
We were a group of friends all in our mid fifties but would be great for groups of any age wanting a bit of peace and quiet. 
All in all a wonderful, memorable and relaxing holiday that we would certainly recomend to anyone wanting to get away from it all and have a bit of luxury at the same time.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">We stayed at Villa Semadhi for 7 nights from 20-27 th March 2012. WOW! absolutely loved every minute of our stay,
Beds: all comfortable, private and spacious. Our 12 year old slept on a roll away on the floor in the master suite, plenty of room. 
Food: we spent most days lazing by the pool, and we ate at the villa most days /nights. All the food was prepared on site and was fresh, well priced . we even had a 3.5 kg crayfish banquet one night. Our welcome BBQ was divine and well received after our trip from Ubud.
The drive to the villa(approx 3.5 hours and up a huge mountain) takes you past traditional villages where we witnessed alot of ceremonies, We stayed at the villa on Nyepi Day. The day prior to Nypei day we were involved in the village ceremony, see photos. It was a great day. 
Our 12 YO daughter visited the local school across the road and enjoyed some time with children her age.
Putra could not be more accomodating, orgnising everything from: car hire, motorbike hire, fishing rod hire, guitar hire, massages, snorkelling trip, restaurant bookings etc.
If you want a relaxing holiday , in a comfortable villa , cleaned daily and linen changed every 2nd day.Stay at Vlla Semadhi. the layout is great, always plenty of places to retreat and get some privacy if needed. I loved the gazebo by the spa( peaceful and comfotable place to rest and sleep)
Another highlight was releasing turtles at Reefseen. You need to be there between 8am and 10am, and the cost is currently $10 per turtle. Frangipani restaurant offer free pick up and return. 
Nypei day , the day of silence ,was spent lazing around the pool , food was still cooked for us, although we did offer to cook our own breakfast and lunch, 
The villa is the second last villa in Pemuteran, and for me (having severe arthritis) was a little far to walk into the town . I would have liked to be able to walk outside the villa and to Biorock for a snorkel every day.
biorock is worth visiting, spectacular snorkelling right off the beach  . However that said, a driver into town is only $5.00 one way. The traditional boat proved a highlight for my husband and son, who sent time fishing and sailing.
Our driver  Ada was remarkable , picked us up form the airport, drove us to Ubud, took us to elepaphant park and white water rafting, drove us to the villa and then reutrned us to kuta, amazing and helpful Overall we all loved our stay at Villa Semadhi , and will definately return with friends .</p>
