FAQ

What is the difference to stay in a private villa or in a hotel?

Choosing for a stay in a private villa with staff is like staying in your own private hotel with tailor made, customized service.  You have your own private pool and in a villa there are no add on bills with 21% taxes as groceries are done at shopping price. You will enjoy the maximum on comfort and privacy. At the end of your stay you will notice that staying in a private villa is more economic as well. You will do it next time again and again, until you might decide to have your own villa in Bali.
