        <p itemprop="description">This Villa was fantastic, the perfect place for 6 girlfriends to unwind and spend time in Bali. Location was superb - super quite and tranquil but a stroll to beach, shops and restaurants. The pool perfect, sunshine in morning and dappled shade in the afternoon, so great for reading, lying on the lilo and general relaxing. All amentities were provided and the staff were superb! Nothing too much trouble, friendly and delightful. Recommend you enjoy a dinner cooked one night in the villa. Cannot recommend highly enough!!!</p>

        <p itemprop="description">When our group of friends decided to fly to Bali to celebrate two big birthdays, we knew that the accommodation we booked could make or break our holiday. Upon arrival at The Retreat, we knew that we had made a great decision and that our holiday would be a success. 

As soon as you walk through the gates of The Retreat you are transported to another world; one that is lush, colourful and above all else relaxing. We felt right at home immediately. The pool was central to all our activities - it was where we would start our mornings, drink our cocktails and finish our night... after dinner out at one of the many quality, nearby restaurants of course.

The location for our group of 15 was just perfect. Our group contained some experienced Bali travellers and many first timers. The short walk to the main street provided everything we could possibly need - access to quality eateries, massage vendors and shops. But it was also just a short taxi to Seminyak or Canggu, which suited our eclectic group perfectly. The beach also was just a short stroll away, although despite good intentions, most of our time was spent by the pool rather than the shoreline.

I don't know where to start in relation to the fabulous service we received. From start to finish it was all just amazing. Kate and Gede were terrific dealing with our many enquiries prior to our arrival. The organisation of a bus and driver for our day trip was particularly appreciated. Kadek (K) was only a whatsapp away and he was brilliant assisting us with groceries and even in-villa massages for 12 people with minimal notice. Finally our housekeepers/cooks/gardeners (Made, Ketut and others) were always just so helpful and obliging. We really appreciated their help and friendliness, not to mention the most delicious breakfasts. Thank you to everyone from The Retreat Pondok Sugi, for making our Bali celebration so enjoyable. It was an eight night stay we won't forget. Cheers!</p>

        <p itemprop="description">Great location in Seminyak. Really perfect family house, relaxed, brilliant open, light-filled living area. The pool in the garden is the focus and was cared for daily so always clean and inviting. Kate was a wonderful welcoming host, who assisted me daily in suggesting and organising activities to accommodate our group of 12. She gave me nightly dinner advice too, which was constantly spot-on. Kate helped organise supplies for us and booked transport which was really invaluable, because moving around in a group of 12 would have been a logistical nightmare without her preferred drivers arriving at our doorstep when we needed them. Daily housekeeping was great, and we had our breakfast cooked for us each morning by the friendly team. Easy walk to some great cafes and a short (depending on the traffic) taxi ride to the main restaurant scene. Great cheap massages just around the corner in a no-fuss, local place, that were so good we started out there on a daily basis!! Great holiday - when can we go back ?</p>

        <p itemprop="description">What a beautiful villa, the two storey villa with 3 huge bedrooms and beautifully appointed bathrooms and the 3 x 1 brm villas equally devine. This is definitely a place to stay with a big family group or friends. Spacious entertaining areas, grassed area and pool (it is as good as it looks in the picture), there is a nook for everyone. Very quiet location. 
The only downside is lack of restaurants to choice from nearby (a new one though not yet open at the end of the laneway looks fabi)
But if you want to be away from it all but close enough to walk (we did via the beach to both Seminyak Square and Legian) then this is the place.
Pretty much everything you can think of is available. Staff were attentive and property kept immaculate. And Kate arranged for a surprise home cooked dinner for us which was well received after a long, long day.</p>

            <span>Thanks for the lovely review Ruth, it was a pleasure to host you and the ladies. I’m so pleased to hear you found the villa spacious, private and perfect for big groups. Thank you for the great feedback on the team, I will be sure to pass this onto them. The villa is slightly more tucked away from the main streets of Seminyak but still easy to grab at taxi or walk along the beach. Lucky for us there are new restaurants opening on Batu Belig every week, we have just welcomed Cabina, Ti Moris (end of the laneway), Granola and Chachara - just another reason to come back and stay with us again soon!</span>

        <p itemprop="description">We have just got back from an amazing stay at Pondok Sugi. What can I say, no words can describe how perfect this place is. The villa itself is beautiful, with lovely furnishings and a fantastic pool. The rooms are great and the beds are so comfortable. Kate, Kay, Praha and all of the staff are amazing and we're so helpful and on the ball, even prior to our arrival. We had lots of dietary requirements which they went out of their way to accomodate and we're so helpful in planning my 30th birthday celebrations. The location was great, in a quieter area yet easily accessible to the busier 'hotspots' in Seminyak and Canggu, but there is still plenty of restaurants and shopping within walking distance - infact the location was one of the best things about the villa. The whole experience was truly faultless and I cannot thank them enough for everything they did to make our stay as amazing as it was. I will definitely be back!</p>

Fair enough away from the busy streets however close enough when we felt like shopping, eating, drinking or massaging. A mere 10 minute taxi to the Seminyak Restaurant, shopping Centre and nightlife.

We cannot thank the AMAZING staff enough, whom were always eager to help with our every need. Every recommendation from Kate and Kay for the group were spot on perfect. They helped arrange tours, activities, grocery shopping a private chef for a group meal at the villa including drinks without hesitation and helped make the holiday as great and fantastic as it was.

Title: Great villa for large family group – highly recommend
 
Review: We stayed at the villa for 7 nights to celebrate a 60th birthday. The villa itself is absolutely beautiful! From the moment you walk through the entrance its serene and private. The main villa opens up to the garden which is lush and green, the whole place has the tropical Bali feel. The rooms are clean, large and air conditioned, each with its own bathroom. The villa staff were fantastic, Kate was always happy to answer all of our questions and came around to meet us when we arrived to make sure we had everything we needed. Praha and the villa staff we’re lovely – Praha is a miracle worker. Nothing was ever too much trouble, she was always on hand to assist with any requests. We decided to have a BBQ dinner for the last night which was very last minute but nothing was a problem. The chef came around that morning and consulted us on what we would like for the menu and that night we had a delicious dinner!
I can’t recommend The Retreat highly enough, if you are looking for a truly beautiful setting to relax and a great team of people to look after you – this is the place.
