        <p itemprop="description">We stayed in Villa Kula for 8 nights with 6 adults and 6 children aged 5 - 9 years over the Xmas day period. We booked this villa last minute, 14 days prior to arrival after another Villa close by cancelled our booking due to structural damage. We had extended family staying on Batu Belig in another villa and wanted to be within walking distance of this villa. We have stayed in a variety of villas in Seminyak over the last 5 years and this villa was fantastic. From the minute I contacted Lisa H from Indo Villas via Trip Advisor and arriving to meet the staff Nyoman and Wayan at the villa, our expectations for our stay were surpassed.

The villa is beautifully presented, has lush green and open grounds for the children to play in under supervision, the pool was even bigger than in the pictures and had a large shallow section for the younger children to play in, the living area and dining was spacious, clean and well presented. Having the ability to close the doors and put on the air con was a great facility to have and was a major consideration when booking the villa.  The weather surprised us and was beautiful and the villa had the doors open most of the time for the breeze to flow through or we could put on the fans. 

The bedrooms have really comfortable beds and they are massive! The rooms and bathrooms were spacious and extremely clean and the air conditioning was brilliantly cold. Over all the facilities and fit out of the villa is great.

By far the biggest asset was the staff. Wayan was extremely accommodating and made breakfast across the morning according to who was awake first. Breakfast therefore was made and served over 2.5 hours each morning. Wayan was always checking in with us the night before to find out what we would like for the next day. She also was able to make requested meals very quickly. If we wanted spagetti bolognese or mee goring for the kids at a moments notice, Wayan did this promptly and all the food was fantastic.  You must try the  Rendang and Vindaloo curries as they were brilliant. The food was amazing overall and Wayan so friendly and caring for our kids. Nyoman was also so personable and caring for the kids and helping out when ever we wanted. He was always doing what he could to make our stay relaxing and easy.  When we left to go to a resort following our time at the villa, all 3 of my boys kept asking to go and visit Wayan and Nyoman as they "missed them". 

Given all of this, there were a couple of downsides that we were aware of based on reading past reviews. Given our last minute dilema of requiring a villa in a specific location, we were prepared to be flexible on this and these were not deal breakers for our situation. The villa is on a corner of a very busy road and there is a lot of road noise in the villa in the main living areas. We did notice the traffic noise on and off but once you get used to it, you rarely take notice of this. The second was the rooster in the neighbouring villa. if you are a light sleeper, this in not the villa for you. The rooster made noise every morning very early for a few hours. I was ok with it but my sister in law in the down stairs room found it very annoying but dealt with it. 

Overall we have a relaxing and luxurious stay at the villa. The staff really make the villa stay brilliant and the owners should be very proud of their staff.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">I am possibly one of the pickiest, most thorough people when it comes to researching, choosing and staying at hotels / rentals. I am genuinely afraid I won't ever find better and have exceeded my expectations so much so that it will be hard to compare.

Villa kula was stunning. We went away with mates for our 30th and were blown away by the place. I had liaised with the manager over a period of 4 months, asking every question I could think of and none were too big or small, all were answered within 24hrs. 

The grounds are beautiful and well kept by Nyomen. The chef Katut (yes, Katut) and friendly housekeeper were happy to help with any request and apart from the breakfast which is cooked with care over some time rather than at once and is therefore not as hot as we are used to in Australia, there is not ONE thing we would change. The rooster didn't even bother us, nor did the traffic when we sat and lounged in the pool / sun baking. We will go back, definitely. The beds were amazing too!</p>

        <p itemprop="description">The first thing I have to mention is the staff, they were lovely and made the holiday. Really friendly and nothing was too much trouble.It was sad saying goodbye. Wayan is a fab cook and laid on several meals for us, the BBQs were especially nice.

As for the villa itself, you couldn't wish for anywhere better to stay. Luxurious bedrooms and bathrooms and spotlessly clean. Yes it is on the corner of a busy road but the walls are very high and the noise is not constant.It certainly didn't spoil our stay, plus the beach is a two minute walk away.

I would certainly go back.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">From the moment we arrived until the day that we left we enjoyed every moment.
The staff Wayan, Coco and Yoman are there to cater for everything whether it be a lovely breakfast each morning (thank you Wayan) we loved the banana pancakes! , then off to enjoy the sites only to return to a beautifully clean villa ( thank you Coco). We stayed with friends and their teenagers Yoman went out of his way to accommodate for the youngest boy (thank you Yoman).
The Villa is only metres away from the beach and a short cab ride into Seminyak we found a great little bar at the end of the street on the beach  
perfect to sit in one of the bean bags with a bintang and watch the sunset.
Naughty Nuri's the rib place was a big hit being within walking distance, fantastic food.
We also had our goddaughter with us and it was her 18th birthday the spread that Wayan put on was unbelievable and we must mention the cake, was absolutely to die for!
 Showing that the staff will go out of their way to accomodate for any request.
They are lovely people and we look forward to seeing them all again next year.
I had read reviews prior to going and I must say yes the rooster was loud the first night but after that myself and my travel companions got used to it and it was no bother.
The Villa is designed in a way so your not in each others pockets, if you want your own space there is plenty of it but if you want to enjoy everyone's company there is enough seating as well.</p>

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay with Indovillas.
The staff say a big "Hi" to you and your family.  
You'll be pleased to know that the rooster is gone from the land next door and they have built there now.
We look forward to greeting you all again next year

        <p itemprop="description">My family and I stayed at villa Kula for 10 days in mid jan for a wedding. This villa is just fantastic, it was much better than staying at a hotel because it felt like a luxurious home. The staff were wonderful, particularly newman who took care of the maintenance and wyan the chef was just wonderful who cooked us some of the best Indonesian food we'd ever had, it was great to be able to cook ourselves a meal if we didn't want to go out. The villa is a 5 minute walk to the beach and a $3.00 taxi ride to seminyak rd shopping precinct. Its also a 5 minute walk from naughty nuris and 10 minute walk to a fantastic authentic Italian restaurant Rustica. 
We are large family with 9 adults and 2 children, the staff kept the villa clean and tidy and were just great with the children. The rooms were spacious, well designed with massive california king beds and large contemporary Balinese styled bathrooms. The pool was great size, with a perfect shallow end for the kiddies. 

When booking we were a little concerned about the reviews about the road noise. It didn't bother us at all, you couldn't hear while inside at all, and while outside it's the noise you would get from any suburban road. The only noise that bothered us was the rooster from the house behind us. My parents were staying on the bottom floor bedroom closest to the house and my mothers a very light sleeper so by the third night she wanted to choke the bird. The rest of us didn't even hear it while inside our rooms. Villa kula is the perfect villa for a family, it's rooms a very private and the spacious living areas allows lots of time to relax. There is really no faults to note, my only reccommendation would be to put more thicker comfortable mattress in the tv converted bedroom, apart from that villa kula is beyond fantastic, great value luxury villa and when we're in Bali again we won't bother staying anywhere else. Thank you for making our Bali stay so wonderful! </p>

        <p itemprop="description">The best thing about this villa is the staff they are wonderful, and nothing was too much trouble.  The furnishings and cleanliness were A1, but the location was certainly an issue.  We were somewhat disappointed that breakfast, of some sort, wasn't included as it is by no means a low budget property.  The bale in the garden was a very popular spot for the mean to watch sport on the tv.
One of the reasons for our choice was the fact that the living area has air con and bifolds to close it off.  Unfortunately, the roof of the living room is so tall the air con has no affect whatsoever.  
The villa is located on the corner of a narrow, busy road with an open ditch alongside so care had to be taken when walking.   We felt it too dangerous to allow the children to walk  However, there is a taxi station close by and the staff can have a taxi there for you in no time - but this is a bit of a nuisance when you just want to go up the road for a massage or to change money.  One of the staff offers himself and his vehicle for day trips at an excellent rate.  His driving was fine.
Next door is a private residence, which we felt sure was a chicken farm, due to the noise.  The roosters crowed all day long.  This actually bothered us more than the traffic noise.
We wouldn't stay here again due to the road and the lack of effectiveness of the air con. Also, due to the poor location and lack of breakfast we consider it to be a little overpriced.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">We stayed for 5 days at Villa Kula in July 2012. Clean, spacious  and comfortable with good staff and a great cook (Wayan) however disappointingly noisy. The villa is on the corner of a busy road and when sitting at the pool and most of the living areas there is a constant flow of  traffic noise . Even in the upstairs bedrooms (which we slept in) this was a  concern through the night and in the early hours of the am. 
Well located, close to the beach (about a 5 minute walk along the beach to the W Hotel) and near the popular Naughty Nuris restaurant, we would definitely stay in this general area again but not in this villa due to the noise. 
The Villa does not have sign outside so the easiest directions would be to instruct taxis to take you to akasha Villa complex as their entrance is directly opposite the entrance to Villa Kula. We booked through IndoVillas and this should have been made clear as we drove around in circles trying to find it (we were coming from Candidasa and did not use the Villa transfers).</p>

        <p itemprop="description">We had a great time for the week we spent at the Villa in april 2012. The staff were wonderful and provided us with all the attention, and delicious meals we could have hoped for.
The pool was lovely and always clear and clean. All the rooms were five star quality and the beds were the most comfortable things I've come across.
The location of the Villa is perfect for Bali. Far enough away from the chaos of Kuta and the bustle of Seminyak, but close enough to walk or ride when you want that. A stones throw away from the beach too, not much more to ask for.</p>
