                    <p itemprop="description">The villa was exceptional and everything we expected from the listing and more! The location was perfect for a week long stay in Seminyak with friends- we wish we could have stayed longer! Close to the beach, lots of great restaurants, shops and transport. The design, layout and decor of Villa Cinta Damai is truly stunning and luxurious. The pool is huge and perfectly maintained. The rooms are massive and really comfortable. Benjamin was really helpful organizing airport transfers for all of us despite arriving different days. Nothing was to hard for him and it made us feel so welcomed and relaxed. Having access to a local phone with pre-programmed numbers was a great touch and really helpful for booing restaurants etc. Having the grocery shopping ready for our arrival was perfect and such a great help to make the villa feel like home. The staff at the villa were there to cook and clean as we needed. They were friendly and helpful and were able to adjust their schedules to give us the privacy we requested. Maintenance and repairs (hot water and lights briefly went out) were fixed immediately without hesitation. We stayed over Nyepi and every effort was made to make sure we knew about the local customs and restrictions during this Day of Silence. It was the PERFECT place to stay during the enforced 24hrs indoors as the villa was so beautiful and perfect for relaxing and entertaining. Despite the light and noise restrictions, we all had one of our best days in Bali during our Nyepi in Villa Cinta Damai!! It was honestly the best villa we&#039;ve stayed in and we would all definitely recommend it to fellow travellors looking for a luxurious but home like villa to stay in with friends or family. Thank you to Benjamin and his team!!</p>

                    <p itemprop="description">We stayed at the villa for a week over Easter and loved every minute. As other reviewers have said, the place looks even better in person, and the decoration is fantastic, well above the usual standard for rented villas. The staff were sweet, helpful, looking after breakfast in the mornings and helping organising masseurs and other bits and pieces, while never imposing themselves in any way. The villa is at the end of a dead end street, so no passing traffic, yet less than 2 minutes walk across into the hub of Seminyak, with the beach about 5 mins walk. The massage ladies assured us we had the best pool in the street, and we were happy to believe them. Many thanks to Ben and his assistants, we&#039;ll be back.</p>

                    <p itemprop="description">I stayed in Villa Cinta Damai over Xmas 2014 for 8 nights.  
Booking was very easy with nothing being too much trouble for Benjamin from the Bali agent.  If I had a question he promptly answered everytime.
The villa looks exactly like it does in the photos.  3 of the bedrooms are gorgeous and very comfortable.  The 4th bedroom upstairs we decided not to use as it is really only suitable for kids yet our kids were a little scared being so far away from the adults.
We did have a few issues with plumbing and locks however these were addressed very promptly - again nothing being too much trouble.
The two maids were amazing and cooked us a traditional Bali Feast for Xmas dinner.  Was delicious!
I would easily recommend this Villa to anyone wishing to stay in Seminyak.  Was an easy walk to Seminyak Beach too. Loved everything about it...except the mosquitos...but then they cannot be helped.
Thanks for an amazing Stay!</p>

                    <p itemprop="description">We arrived at the villa which is very out of the way. Not a 5 min walk to the beach at all, probably 20 min. It is beautiful and the pool stunning, but as soon as I stepped on the tiled floor I grew cautious. It was very slippery. The construction next door was very annoying and the workers would spy on us, making it not easy to sunbake. The villa is actually a 3 bedroom villa. There is a little room that was meant to be the 4th bedroom with a floor matress that we were told we could use. Well we couldnt, the maids said it was locked and full of supplies!! So my adult brother and sister had to share a bed! On the 2nd day into our stay I was walking very slowly on the tiled floor to the pool, when I slipped and badly hurt my ankle. The maids called for a doctor, the doctor they supplied told me I had just sprained my ankle and that I could walk on it the next day with crutches if I needed. When I got back to australia I discovered that I had actually broken my ankle. I had to take 6 weeks off work unpaid. When I asked Benjamin to file an innsurance claim for me he said that they couldnt do it. Not having public liability for your guests, when you charge as much as you do is crazy!!! I left a pair of shoes and an ipod there and asked benjamin to send back to me, but he didnt. The toliets got blocked every day and just overall a disapointing experience.

I recommend you go stay at Seminyak Estate and Spa, beautiful staff, without any dangers to your wellbeing!</p>

            <span>Dear Breanne,

Thank you for having taken the time to write this review 2 months after your stay.

Let me explain to other fellow travellers why i think you write false information :

1-
my first mail follwing your inquiry,  on feb 21.

&laquo; Before, you can make up your mind, i must be honest regarding a construction site just behind the villa. A hotel is being built, and even though it is almost finished (normally end of April), there can be some nuisance from time to time. I had guests staying this last January and they had no complain at all, they really enjoyed every aspect of the villa (location, size, great housekeeping ladies..). The owners have stayed there for 4 months and have been planting bamboos and other trees to keep some privacy from the construction. All of these informations were mentioned in the email we sent you, we offered you a discount for these inconveniences that you accepted. 

Therefore, as agreed with the owners, we are offering 20% off the published rate for this villa.

If by any bad luck, your particular dates were really disturbed but some kind of crazy noise, which should not be happening because the construction seems to have moved from this part, we would be happy to either offer additional discount.

Also, the villa has 3 main double bedrooms and a much smaller bedroom upstairs with two single beds with can be joined. There is air conditioned, but no ensuite bathroom and the closest toilet and in the living area, downstairs. All three bathrooms have access through the bedrooms only. It is a perfect kids room, it might be a problem if you are all adults and share the costs.  

Now you have all the facts! &raquo;

You still decided to go through and booked the villa at a discounted rate of 20% and were offered a free late check out until 9pm on Apr 07.

The maids never locked the 4th room and you could use this bedroom, which you aware was smaller. Only one closet was locked with the owner belongings.

2- the location :

the villa is located betwenn Jalan Drupadi and Jalan Dyana Pura. The beach is less than 10min walk. Cannot be more central for all our previous guests, myself and all the other guests who stay in the small gang. It is definitely 20-25min (by foot&hellip;or 3min cab ride) to the other side of Seminyak (Eat street) but not the beach in front of Gado-Gado).So much for out of the way&hellip;

3- you slipped///

well, this is apparently what caused all this stir on the other issues, but let me clarify a few things as well&hellip;

You slipped when you exited the pool, when wet. Extra care should occur.

Yes, the doctor who examined you did not see your ankle beeing broken. He confirm it us again.

You refused to go get an Xray when this happened or during the rest of your stay.

We supplied some clutches, which after ONE DAY you decided to give back saying you would not need them. You walked for the rest of your stay without clutches.

We do have an insurance policy, i never said the contrary.

You filed a claim 3 weeks after your return in Australia, which was way out of time. All insurance claim should be made no less than 48h after the incident.

And last but not least, we never found your ipod or pair of shoes. 

When we find, we give back, how could I have such high ranking of reviews as The Bali Agent, if i am the person you claim i am.

The housemaids and manager are also devoted person and i don&rsquo;t believe they could steal, it easily can be read on previous reviews.

The blocked toilet is another one of your rows. We have plumber working here; Had we known, the problem would have been solved (again, the villa personal said this never happened. Nor did you call me to complain about this when i saw you or during your stay. Not to mention there are 4 toilets in the villas&hellip; I wonder if the 4 were blocked&hellip;every day !!
I wish you all the best in the future,
Benjamin / The Bali Agent</span>

                    <p itemprop="description">entire reservation process and all the logistics were easy and smooth. Benjamin and his assistant patiently answered all our questions. Decor in the house is amazing - from the open living room,upstairs sitting area-all the bedrooms and the bathrooms are amazing!.  Loads of places/areas to sit/lounge.  The kitchen is great and well stocked.  The gardens and swimming pool are tended and cleaned every morning.  The two house helper ladies (Illo and Mila) were great at helping to cook, cleanup, attend to us. The are there from 8am-4pm everyday.  
The villa is off a quiet narrow street which can seem a bit out of ways at first glance, about a 20-25 minute walk to the main seminiyak drag. but, cabs will readily come pick you up (helpful phone numbers list by the house phone) and are pretty much $3-$5 to anywhere in seminiyak.  The &#039;Potato Head&#039; beach club was on the other side of the town but cost us only $5 each way.  On the last day we discovered if we and went right instead of left, we ended up on a lively strip with massage places, stores, bars and restaurants.
Closest well known landmark is a 2-min walk to a Tapas restaurant - La Sal (Bad sangria but great food and wine) with a 24 hour convenience store next to it.  the villa street has a small home store which will deliver soft drinks, beer and water.  they also rent a scooter with helmets for $5 a day.(definitely recommend the scooter). Once we had the scooter, the main drag was only a 5 min ride away.  
location on the quiet side but everything is close by.  House helpers and chef  (mado) were great.They would come ask us about food, go get groceries and then cook a great meal (extra cost for groceries and chef time).  we also arranged a in-villa massage and car +driver for Ubud. would recommend -

a) open high ceiling living room area can be mosquito heavy.  bring good repellent
b) the master bedroom is huge but the one aC unit seems under powered for the room size
c) a map of the area would have been helpful</p>
