        <p itemprop="description">If you need to escape the hustle & bustle, de-stress, re-connect with a loved one or just simply relax, this is the place. It is a bit of a trek to get there, but once you're there, it's worth it! You are treated like royalty, the staff are very gracious and accommodating, you feel like family. Very secluded and private, which makes it that little bit extra special. I would def recommend this place for some R & R..</p>

        <p itemprop="description">As a traveler I have always stayed away from bali as a holiday destination, because from all reports I was told that is was a lot of hard partying Australians and pushy sales people,  Not having a dig at any one who enjoys that part of Bali just not my cup of tea, each to their own and all that jazz. 

Until I was told about villa Patria 3 hours north of Bali by my father and step mother who have spent some amazing times here and have raved about it non stop ever since. I have been shown countless pictures and told many awesome stories about the location, accomodation and the warmest staff (family) that you could possibly imagine. But none of those pictures or stories really did this place any justice, not even close!.

In my few long trips around the globe I have been to many countries and so many amazing, scenic, fun and exciting places but villa Patria tops them all, no word of s lie. The most scenic , relaxed, peaceful and friendly place I have ever been on the planet and I will def be coming back, if not living here at some stage in my life.

A huge thank you to Oka (the villa manager), Putu, Wayan, Ketut, Suma, Arik, Sila and Ketut. All the amazing staff here at villa Patria Are a huge part of what makes this place so special, welcoming and beautiful. I now consider them all my friends and they all deserve accolades for their level of service, care, Amazing food and attitudes.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">The experience at Villa Patria was nothing short of 5 star. 
On arriving at the airport, Dita the driver was clearly identified and helped me with my luggage to the waiting van with an esky full cold drinks and cool towels (just what I needed after the flight). Dita asked if I had eaten and stopped at a lovely place on the way for lunch. 
I had spent a fair amount of time reading reviews and checking out pictures online of the villa and was still amazed by the view on arrival. Oka the manager met me on arrival and gave me a tour of the grounds and provided his direct contact details in case I needed anything. Oka was amazing, arranging tours and shuttles into town, taking me on a tour of the local markets and explaining some of the local customs and assisting with the purchase of some of the local exotic fruits. 
Each morning I was greeted by the smiling face of Wayan each morning and at meal
Times who was lovely to chat with. The house is traditional Balinese with modern amenities, and an amazing swimming pool. Plans to have meals in Lovina never eventuated as the meals prepared onsite were too good to miss! 

The villa is amazing! But it’s the staff that truly make this the experience it is. Nothing felt like it was too much to ask or trouble. I’m looking forward to visiting the villa again.
Hopefully this time the mango trees will be in season :) </p>

        <p itemprop="description">It's very difficult to describe how wonderful Villa Patria is, but I'll try.
The photo's you see don't come close to portraying the beauty of this amazing location. From the mountain spring fed pool, to the outstanding quality of the meals, the wonderful gardens, the view to the ocean and the beautiful friendly and attentive staff, Villa Patria is the ultimate in luxury, relaxation and privacy. We spent 10 days over Christmas and New Year at Villa Patria and were completely blown away by this magnificent property and it's amazing staff. Nothing is too much trouble for Oka, Wayan and the two very clever boy's in the kitchen, Putu and Ketut. The manicured gardens overseen by Suma and Ari are a delight to wander about and appreciate the diverse plant life.
We are already planning our next visit and can't wait to see our wonderful new friends once more and delight in the beauty of Villa Patria.</p>

Food was so good, we ate every meal at the villa and did not leave. 

The pool is huge and we spent afternoons just relaxing there listening to the birds and reading books.

I would certainly recommend this property to anyone wanting to experience Lovina.  Lovely property, lovely staff and a lovely holiday.</p>

    <div class="mainReviewBody">
        <p itemprop="description">Located high up on the mountain side and overlooking Lovina, Villa Patria is a haven of tranquility and relaxation which feels a lifetime away from the craziness of Seminak or Kuta. We stayed for 6 nights in the guest Villa at Villa Patria and were so relaxed from our time there it felt more like 18 nights! 

The Villa itself, whilst quite simple, is well appointed and the bed is so comfortable - we had some of the best sleep we have ever had at a hotel! Its a short walk from the Guest Villa to the Pool, which is a fantastic size and there are plenty of sunbeds and a daybed to lie on as well. 

The staff of the villa are fantastic! Everyone made such an effort to ensure we were happy throughout the course of our stay. We did a couple of excursions through the villa (to see the beach and the local waterfalls) but mainly we just stayed by the Pool and chilled out - ordering lunch by the fall and even having a cheeky massage or two! 

The food was absolutely phenomenal - the Green Curry, Chicken Bettutu and Spring Rolls are particularly excellent and not to be missed. We ate out one night, at the nearby Damai hotel, and whilst the food there was also very good - it was not any better than was served in the Villa, despite being two or three times more expensive. Food does have to be ordered 24 hours in advance, because the chefs go and purchase everything fresh each morning from the local market, but this was no issue and helped to ensure everything was super fresh and tasty. 

There are a few things to note: 
1. No shower gels/shampoos etc are provided so you should bring your own; 
2. The Villa is set way up on the hillside and, whilst the Villa are happy to run you into Lovina as and when required, this means there isn't much to do within walking distance; 
3. Being based up in the hills and surrounded by forest means there is lots of lizards, spiders, creepy crawlies etc. We didn't mind and aside from a few bites (from ants we think), didn't really notice but if you are really afraid of such creatures bare this in mind. 

Villa Patria is essentially a 5* get away for Air BnB prices. If you are looking for complete relaxation this is the place for you! We really cannot thank Oka, Wayang, Dita, Ketut, Pilling and the rest of the team enough for everything they did during our stay. Thanks!</p>

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>

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.
