Eight villas in a garden above the rice terraces

A small hotel run by one family since 2014

Made Wirata grew up in the house at the top of the garden. In 2014 he and his wife Sari built two villas on the family land above the terraces, and by 2021 there were eight. The rice below is still farmed by Made’s cousins, who share the water with the rest of the village.

We keep the hotel small on purpose. There are never more than eighteen guests, the kitchen cooks for you rather than for a restaurant, and someone from the family is at reception every day.

BreakfastCooked to order and served in the garden pavilion or in your villa, 7 to 11.
From the airportAn hour and forty minutes by car. We collect you for Rp 650,000 a car.
Check-inFrom 2 in the afternoon. Check-out is at 11, later if the villa is free.
ChildrenWelcome in the valley villas and the family house.

Four kinds of villa, eight villas in all

Every villa has its own pool, an outdoor bath and a terrace. They differ in size, in how many people they sleep and in what you see from the bed.

The garden from above

The villas sit on four levels joined by stone steps, with the pool and the kitchen pavilion in the middle. Below the garden wall the terraces begin, and in the dry season you can walk the paths between the fields straight from our bottom gate.

Things to do while you are here

Walks, classes and dinners that we organise ourselves, with people from the village. Book at reception or before you arrive. Prices are per person and include tax.
