Beautiful Stay
We are a family of 7, kids 17-8. We had such a wonderful time at Villa Naora. The house was beautiful where time seemed to slow down. But most of all the staff was so kind, loving and helpful. We enjoyed their cooking, smiles and laughing together. We would highly recommend this wonderful villa. Thank you!

I have just returned home after experiencing the best holiday I have ever had with my 2 children. It was just what we needed to get away from it all and relax. The villa is amazing, and the view is wow! The staff are just lovely, always smiling and willing to please, they really do an amazing job, all of them. We can't wait to return!

Traumhafter Urlaub über Silvester 2015/16
Wir verbrachten unseren Urlaub über Weihnachten und Silvester 15/16 in Asien. Zehn wundervolle Tage davon verbrachten wir (8 Personen aus einer Gruppe von Familie und Freunde in der Villa Naora auf Bali. Zu Beginn: Die Villa und das Anwesen sind wirklich Traumhaft! Die Fotos halten wirklich mehr als sie versprechen! Man muss das in LIVE gesehen haben! Das Haus ist sehr stilvoll und abgestimmt eingerichtet, der Garten ist auch sehr gepflegt. Die netten Gärtner geben auch jeden Tag ihr Bestes dafür! Auch die Security ist sehr präsent aber doch für den Gast Nahe zu unsichtbar! Es dauerte nur einen kurzen Augenblick, nach dem man die Lichter abends ausgeschaltet hatte, bis man schon die Taschenlampen umher ziehen sah. Und auch ein vergessenes Handtuch oder eine Liegestuhlauflage wurde stets von Ihnen bei Seite geräumt! Besonders hervor loben muss man aber die zwei Haushälterinnen bzw. Köchinnen, die sich jeden Tag mit aller Mühe um einen kümmern. Sie säubern die Zimmer und das Haus, bereiten die Mahlzeiten zu, kaufen ein, geben Termine weiter oder buchen selbst für einen die Massagetermine (sehr zu empfehlen)! Man konnte jeden Tag aus verschiedenen Gerichten auswählen und auch zum Frühstück konnte man aus verschiedenen (europäischen) Backwaren auswählen, die von einem Lieferdienst gebracht wurden. Aber sie übernahmen auch den Einkauf von anderen Lebensmitteln und Getränken die man nicht zum kochen gebraucht hatte. Der Villa Manager führte die Einweisung und Führung am ersten Tag durch und war auch sonst zur Stelle wenn etwas an Stande, wie zB Buchung von einem Schnorcheltrip, Restaurantreservierungen oder wenn einfach ein Fahrer benötigt wurde. Das WLAN war im allgemeinen recht gut. Das iPad und vor allem das iPhone in Verbindung mit der Musikanlage und Spotify auf Terrasse waren eine absolute Bereicherung! Das Einzige was verbessert werden könnte, das jedes Schlafzimmer Mosquito-Netze erhält! Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen und können dieses Haus absolut uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen! Einfach traumhaft!

Un séjour inoubliable dans un cadre sublime!
Quel dépaysement! Pour notre 4ème séjour à Bali (après Ubud, Seminiak et Kuta), on ne pouvait rêver plus enchanteresque. C’est l’endroit parfait pour visiter le nord de Bali. Villa Naora est un vrai bijou à la déco rafinée. Les photos, bien que très belles, ne reflètent pas le caractère exceptionnel du lieu avec des jardins majestueux et une vue à couper le souffle. Tout y est pensé pour que l’on se sente privilégié. Que l’on soit, comme nous en famille, entre amis ou en couple à la recherche de sérénité, chacun y trouve son compte. Bien que tout soit ouvert, on trouve toujours dans la villa ou à l’extérieur des coins pour s’isoler. Nous avons adoré les apéros au bord de la piscine, les parties de pétanque, les instants détentes face à la mer et les massages au bruit des vagues. Sans oublier bien sur les excellents repas indonésiens et occidentaux concoctés par Heny la cuisinière. Elle a même su réconcilier les enfants avec la soupe tant c’était délicieux! Avec un personnel discrêt mais toujours efficace, gentil et souriant, les prestations fournies sont sans conteste dignes d’un hébergement 5*: chef à domicile, piscine à débordement, jacuzzi, salon de massage, accès direct à la plage.... et j’en oublie évidemment! Nous avons hâte d’y retourner pour profiter des cours de plongée donnés dans la piscine de la villa avant d’aller plonger dans un des plus beaux sites d’Asie du Sud Est. Bravo à Ana et Jacques les propriétaires qui ont su donner une âme à villla Naora ainsi qu’à tout le staff qui contribue fortement à la magie du séjour. Merci encore et à bientôt!

Lux near Lovina
Wauw! Denne følelse får du, når du ser villaen ved ankomst. Og samme følelse gentager sig, når du står op og kigger ud over haven og havet hver morgen. Villaen er perfekt! Smukke rum med et væld af æstetiske detaljer - og en enorm pool i en spotless have. Du kan med lethed bo flere familier samtidig - uden at føle, at du bor tæt. Vi var to voksne og tre børn afsted og brugte kun de to soveværelser nedeunder. Men der er fire værelser og hvert har sit eget store og lækre badeværelse. Stranden kan som angivet ikke bruges til at bade i, da der er et udløb lige ved. Derudover er der kig til et kraftværk til den ene side - knapt så charmerende. Men det gjorde os ingenting, da poolen som sagt var enorm. Alligevel kan det måske være en ide at nævne i bemærkninger, så man er beredt på det, hvis man foretrækker at bade i saltvand. Årsagen til at vi ikke giver fem stjerner er: - Beliggenhed - Dårlig oplevelse med personalet* *De to husholdersker smiler sødt, men mest efter du har givet drikkepenge. Det gav os en dårlig og akavet følelse, da de jo allerede er lønnet af udlejer. De sidste to dage gav vi dem ikke drikkepenge (Vi havde allerede givet dem 400.000,- hver i løbet af ugen) og på afrejsedagen gad de næsten ikke sige farvel - den ene kiggede bare lige op fra håndvasken i køkkenet og smilede anstrengt. Den anden kom hen og sagde farvel - da vi tog initiativ til det. Stor kontrast til velkomsten med blomsterkranse!

Relaxing and fantastic stay!
Our family (couple with three kids: 22, 18, and 7 years old) spent one week at Villa Naora end of May 2015 after having a 6-day trip in Java with less sleep. It was perfect to relax, have a peaceful time, and enjoy the villa and the surroundings. The Villa is in very good condition, four super rooms (bathroom each), massage deck, huge pool, jacuzzi, beachfront, TV, DVD, Wii and ipod/ipad with lots of music, which was mainly for the kids. The staff is great, Eni and Sally cooking the best Indonesia dishes you can wish for. Two gardeners and the security guy, who always greet you with a smile, and the Villa Manager that is there for you when you need him. We went out a few times during the week, but always enjoyed it very much to come back and have a massage from Ami and her team.. We saw a lot of dolphins jumping out off he water and diving under our boat, amazing, and had a wonderful snorkeling-trip to Menjangan Island. We definitely recommend to stay at Villa Naora - it is so quiet, well pampered and relaxing.

Fantastic!!!
We spend our Honeymoon in Villa Naora 8 days in June 2015 – and we had a great honeymoon which we always will remember. The place was a fantastic place to relax – either in the fantastic bedrooms, the great terrace with meals being cooked for us, in the pool – or our favourite spot lying on the beach banong listening to the sea – almost as if we were lying on the beach. The pictures of the house are great, but reality was even better. A fantastic relaxing place with high luxury. The staff is very nice and you – and even though they make the house and garden look like a 5 star hotel – you almost don’t see them and they gave us full privacy when we were in the pool or in the garden. A special thanks to the 2 girls in the kitchen – they were amazing, very service minded, always smiling and eager to make our holiday a great experience. We wanted to take them with us home! We had a car with a driver every second day for 50 EUR, which was planned from the start with help from the house manager. That was a great way to see the northern side of Bali. There is a lot to see – and the driver was great to show us the right places, where to eat lunch and drove us to what we wanted to see. The beach is for walking not for swimming – even though the local children was bathing in the sea. A lot of waste is lying on the beach, which is not nice. But not in front of the house where there is a person cleaning the beach everyday. However the pool is huge and very nice – and you don’t miss swimming in the sea.

Unbelievable, Unimagined, Unmatched, Untouchable!
The welcome email thanked us for our support. Yet, somehow, we felt like we owed the wonderful team at Villa Naora our thanks for allowing us to share in their piece of paradise. The entire experience for us was wonderful from the moment we stepped into the van for the picturesque drive through traditional ride paddies and quaint villages to the moment we reluctantly stepped onto the plane to come home. The service is impeccable and the standard of the villa is wonderful - the pictures do not do justice to how huge, clean and modern it is. No detail has been spared, no tiny requirement overlooked. Whomever has planned the build, fit-out and appointments for this villa has done an excellent job. We used most of the spaces offered. Given the size of this villa that took some effort. Without exception the experience was positive. I'd recommend this villa for couples looking for a romantic getaway, groups looking to lie by the wonderful pool for a week or adventure seekers looking to explore the local villages, swim under magnificent local waterfalls, shop the authentic markets or walk the many unspoiled jungle trails. There is no shortage of things to do. We have already booked another week next year. As a final note, the villa is in Northern Bali. This is a very good thing if you want to avoid the negative aspects of Southern Bali - i.e. the chaos, expense and smells you associate with Kuta, Legian and surrounds. Northern Bali is completely authentic and unspoiled. The surrounding villages are welcoming and friendly. And...I don't think one person asked us to buy something!

Nicest villa we have stayed in!!!
I would like to thank you very much for arranging our holiday at the villa, which was by far the nicest villa we have stayed in. I was amazed how peaceful it was, we had a great relaxing holiday and fell in love with Bali. What made it very special were the wonderful staff who really do you credit. Ketut, the villa manager did an excellent job arranging our excursions, we saw loads of dolphins, climbed a volcano and went snorkelling, all great fun and very well organised. The security guard and gardeners were very friendly and helpful but above all we cannot express highly enough how lovely Eny and Lilly were, then made our holiday special. No task was too much and their food was superb, our children fell in love with both of them and were upset to leave. We are hoping we can arrange to visit again, perhaps next year.

Ma villa préférée à Bali!
Bali n'est plus une découverte pour moi puisque c’était mon 7eme séjour sur l'île des Dieux. Il reste cependant le plus beau ... Après un accueil chaleureux du staff, la découverte de la maison est un enchantement tant par son architecture moderne d'inspiration balinaise que par sa décoration et son confort. Le grand jardin donnant sur la mer est le must qui fait de cet endroit un havre de paix. Tout est prévu pour que ces vacances soient synonymes de repos, détente et plaisir (jacuzzi, massage, terrain de pétanque ...) et les petits sont heureux de trouver jouets et équipement pour leurs âges. Une mention très spéciale aux charmants propriétaires qui font régner une belle harmonie dans ce petit coin de paradis !

Your Villa was just breathtaking
Your Villa was just breathtaking. From the moment we walked in and saw the beautiful view through the picture windows to all of the wonderful amenities and lovely staff. The Villa meals were great and the ladies unobtrusive, helpful and charming. I particularly loved the outside massage bale and found it so relaxing to have a massage while listening to the waves on the beach. The pool was also one of the nicest I have seen during my travels, overall it was a wonderful experience. I would have no hesitation in recommending your wonderful Villa to anyone and everyone. Please pass on my appreciation once again to the lovely ladies who took such great care of us.

We had the most amazing week at Villa Naora. The Villa itself is just spectacular. Everything from the layout, to the decor, furniture and gardens. Inside & out were just amazing. The staff, well Ilou & Heny are just adorable and we wanted to bring them home! Always smiling, never anything a bother. Heny's cooking, especially the indonesian & balinese food was so good! Agus & Sudan were also great, forever running around ensuring our pool and gardens were in immaculate condition. We are already planning on our return to Villa Naora, we cannot wait to get back.

Absolutely the highlight of our trip
We cannot speak highly enough of your Villa, staff and Ketut. We stayed at a total of 3 villas whilst holidaying in Bali for over 14 days. Villa Naora was absolutely the highlight of our trip, even our 4 children can't wait to go back. On our flight home we all listed our top 5 highlights of our trip, all 4 Children had Villa Naora in their list, along with Swimming with Dolphins, water parks, playing with tigers and Monkey's at the Zoo. My husband, mother and I all had it at No. 1. Everything has been so thought out for an enjoyable family stay. The gardens are so well maintained and picturesque, the staff are so friendly and hard working. Both Annie and her assistant where amazing and made our time there so much more enjoyable, they were friendly, the kids adored them and their cooking was fantastic. We believe all of the finer details of our stay had been covered, the menu/recipe, the swimming/pool toys, breakfast included, the sports equipment to enjoy the gardens, the ability to enjoy in house massage, the childrens zone upstairs. This list goes on. Again we feel very blessed to have spent time at Villa Naora, we have been holidaying in Bali for over 10 years and this is the first time we have been to the North, Villa Naora and North Bali have taken our breathe away. We can't wait to come back. Again thank you for the most relaxing stay, this mother of 4 actually felt like I had a break whilst on holidays. Warmest Regards, Crystal Cook and Family!

The Naora feeling
You can't describe in words the feelings and sensations you have when being at that special place. You feel privileged experiencing all this beauty and well being. What a contrast with our busy life in Belgium! We couldn't at first get how the people could be so friendly and helpful all the time. But it's sincere and it feels good. At first it's a bit strange, all these people wanting to take care of you, but we soon loved their cheerfulness and discreteness. We miss you all: Sweet Eni and Iloh, your wonderful meals and your smiles, the conversations about food; Agus and Sudan, the wizards of the garden, and Artanu, the super friendly and discrete night watch, Gusti, our driver for the week, what a patient and skilled driver in this overcrowded and sometimes dangerous traffic. And of course also Ketut and Komang, manager and assistant manager, always ready to advise and arrange everything for you. And it's always in order. We liked the two day-trips around the north of Bali with Gusti, we saw the different waterfalls, buddhist temple, hindu temple, swam in the hot springs, fed the monkeys (a delight for the children), did a jungle trekking and return by canoe across the crater lake, saw the jatiluwah rice fields,... and then back to the villa! Always glad to get back there. Then, at break of dawn, the dolphin boat trip: magnificent! so many dolphins, big ones, small ones swimming and jumping around the boat! (We didn't do Menjangan nature reserve as we went to snorkel in Gili Trawangan afterwards, but that's for next time ;-) Also recommendable: a dinner at the Spice Beach Club at Lovina, with live music (nice), and especially : the Ami and her sisters' massages in the garden-massage-house, relaxing while hearing the ocean for real... magic. The house itself: new and modern though still very Balinese; very clean and well kept (5 stars); what we liked: the bathrooms half outside, with the warm outside air to shower in; the little lizards on the patio ceiling in the evenings; the open little house at the back of the garden to relax by the sea; of course the gigantic swimming pool. I read in the info brochure at the villa: "once you visited Bali, you always want to come back, it's the spirits that draw you" yes, and villa Naora that stays on your mind like a happy thought. Thanks Ana and Jacques, for the stay in your villa for one memorable week! Peter, Kristel, Marcel, Anton, Helena

Urlaub im Paradies
Villa Naora ließ uns für 5 Wochen unser Zuhause vergessen. Eine traumhafte Villa mit riesigem Pool und wunderschönem sehr großen gepflegten Garten. Gerade richtig um unseren 50 jährigen Hochzeitstag dort zu erleben. Im eigenen Garten und doch direkt am Strand zu liegen und aufs Meer zu schauen, einfach fantastisch. Unvergleichlich die farbenfrohen Sonnenuntergänge zu erleben und den kleinen Fischerboten am Horizont zuzuschauen. Hier stimmt wirklich alles. Die ausgezeichnete Betreuung durch die Eigentümer der Villa, das gepflegte Haus, der umsorgte wunderschöne Garten und die Liebenswürdigkeit der uns betreuenden Balinesen. Kein Essenswunsch blieb unerfüllt und der traumhafte Massagetempel bot eine herrliche Entspannungsmöglichkeit bei wohltuender balinesischer Massage, die wir regelmäßig nutzten. Wirklich traurig waren wir nur, als wir uns verabschieden mussten. In der Villa Naora haben wir Bali und Balinesen noch in ihrer Ursprünglichkeit erleben dürfen. Gerne werden wir die Villa Naora bei unserem nächsten Bali Urlaub wieder wählen. Mit den besten Wünschen Elke und Norbert Deutschmann

Memorable Stay!
We really love the place. It's like having our own private world but with all the things that we need. We were well taken cared of. The staff was just amazing in making sure everything we need are there. The house, the pool, their service, the food, and just about everything else really made our vacation worth while.

Our stay at Villa Naora was absolutely fantastic!
Wow, our stay at Villa Naora was absolutely fantastic, everything about our experience was positive. The Villa is beautiful from the design to your staff, the attention to detail was noticed in every aspect, it really looks as good if not better than the photos on your website, we enjoyed spending our days around the pool so much it was a hard decision to go out and explore North Bali. We always find that it is the staff and the friendly local people that really make your holiday experience better, and this is definitely the case here, the staff will organize any activity for you with a smile Anna - her beautiful shy smile would make our day, nothing too much trouble and best of all her cooking us authentic Balinese food daily is something we will remember for a very long time Lilu - What a cheeky gorgeous girl, she was always there to help with anything and was an absolute delight Artanu - thank you for keeping us safe and for cooking our Babi Guling Yum! Sudan & Agus - you both work very hard to keep the villa looking beautiful and you always have a smile and a wave for us. I would recommend a day trip to Menjangan Island snorkelling - this would have been the highlight of our trip. We also really enjoyed our trek through the rice terraces with Putu and enjoyed a lovely Balinese lunch cooked by his wife Ria. I would also like to mention the girls from Ami spa @ home, we had the girls visit us almost every day for a massage, they are very professional and after spending a further two weeks in Bali they were also the best massages that we had during our whole stay highly recommended. Overall I couldn't recommend Villa Naora more highly, everything was extremely professional starting with the booking process up to our driver returning us to the airport. Thanks you for sharing your piece of paradise.

Every detail exceeded our expectations from the welcome by all the staff, the villa décor and facilities, the beautiful pool at our doorstep, the great service and yummy food, to the activities and tours we enjoyed during our time. We can’t thank the staff enough at the Villa - Ketut, Kadek, Iluh, Agus, Sudan and Artanus . Nothing was ever too much trouble. Their warm and friendly service was exceptional and nothing was too much trouble. We found everything easy and seamless from the initial inquiry to booking and payment through to our actual stay. The hospitality included a call from Ana, the villa owner, to check how our stay was going, which was lovely and meant we could rave about our stay in person. For people who enjoy a local experience and a good walk we recommend the guided 4 hour walk through the local villages and rice fields in the mountains. This was a highlight of our stay and the local guide was exceptional, especially his knowledge of the plants and locals foods being grown across the valley. There is a fair bit of up and down on this walk and sometimes the track is a little steep and rough, but its moderate to easy depending on your level of fitness. Certainly worth the time if you’re looking to do something a bit more active and experience a bit more of the local community life in North Bali. The snorkel and dive at Menjangan Island was majestic – beautiful warm, clear water and great fish life. The dolphin tour departing from the beach in front of the villa is incredible with some of the best dolphin sightings and beautiful scenery from the boat on sunrise. Then there were the massage ladies from Ami’s spa. How can we ever forget their brilliant, amazing hands in making us feel even more relaxed and pampered. Highly recommended as a must do during your stay! The food at the Villa was a definite highlight. We can’t thank Kadek and Iluh enough for cooking us wonderful Balinese style food day after day. What a treat and something we are all still talking about! We would highly recommend Villa Naora and our stay was rated by all of us as one of the best holidays we have ever had. Travelled as a group of 8 adults and 1 toddler from Australia in April 2014.

Villa magnifique, très spacieuse et digne d’un 5*
Nos 15 jours à bali se sont très bien passés : les dauphins, la plongée, les temples, les cascades, ubud, le marché de séririte tout était magique. La villa est magnifique et très agréable. L' accueil par le staff a été super. Ketut et Coman ont réalisé tous nos vœux avec beaucoup de professionnalisme. Un grand merci et bravo à Made, Easy et Kadette qui sont exceptionnelles, très serviables et toujours avec le sourire. Les plats mijotes, les petites attentions et leur discrétion sont à la perfection. Les 2 jardiniers font un travail remarquable et le gardien de nuit est très discret. La maison est très spacieuse et digne d’un 5 étoiles. Nous avons beaucoup profité de la terrasse et de la piscine !!! Nous avons testé toutes les chambres à tour de rôle qui ont toutes leurs particularités : la terrasse, un grand lit, une super salle de bain. Les masseuses étaient à notre disposition et nous ont détendus pour un très bon rapport qualité prix. C’est donc sans hésitation que nous recommandons villa Naora à tout le monde. Sampai jumpa lagi. ...

This was a holiday to remember
The villa was amazing, the complimentary welcome drinks and lunch on arrival set us off to an amazing start to our holiday… It's great to have a private villa with all the services that a hotel would supply. Swimming pool, Jaccuzi, separate gazebo for massage, outside petanque game, inside baby-foot, WIFI, and more .... The two girls, Iluh and Kadek were very caring with all of us. The garden is so well maintained by the boys Sudan and Agus, seems like a botanic garden. The night guard was there from the end of the afternoon until the beginning of the day, he was so discrete, but we felt in security. Ketut the villa manager was very helpful and very professional in organising all our tours. They were all very kind and friendly. The attention to detail, the service and food was exceptional. The villa was perfect in every sense, as was the service. Everyone was captured by the magic of the north of the Island and by Villa Naora.

Absolutely wonderful
From the time we arrived until we left absolutely wonderful. We arrived around 8 pm we got out of the van and it was like "wow" . We we're introduced to the staff but I was like hi but couldn't stop being amazed at the property and the villa. Ketut the manager showed us around while Kadek and Elo made our dinner. The rooms are very nice with plenty of storage for us in each room. The bed was a little to firm for my wife and I but the others thought they were great. The pool was beautiful. After dinner some of us dove right in. The property is spacious and plenty of room for everybody to have their own space and relax and relax we did. When we get together we usually don't go to bed until midnight or so but it was not unusual for everybody to be in bed by 9. We had a local massage lady come by everyday almost and that was nice and very cheap. We had our lunch and dinners made for us. We would tell them what we wanted ,they would tell us how much approx. and then give them the money. Before they left for the evening they gave us the reciepts and our change. The beach was black sand and rocks. If you walked down a bit it was just sand. The beach was a bit trashy , though this did not keep us from going in the water and crashing some waves.The grounds staff was out there everyday raking and picking up trash. Our excursions included swimming with the dolphins, hot springs, snorkeling,diving and some shopping. Arranging anything was simple just call Ketut the manager with the phone they provide and he takes care of it. You do have to pay for transportation but the drivers are great and very reasonable. One thing that concerned me was having to pay for it thru wire transfers and not with a credit card. We almost backed out. All went well and communication with the owners was great. The drive from the airport was about 4 hours with bad traffic and a "coffee break "stop. It was thru the mountains which we only saw on the way back. I have to mention the staff again. There were 2 housekeepers/ chef, 2 grounds guys,security,and manager. While that may seem a lot you hardly ever saw them.They were all very kind and friendly. We miss villa Naora already and despite being halfway around the world we hope to come back again but longer
