A Blissful Escape at a Balinese Paradise Villa Our seven-night stay at this exquisite villa in Bali was nothing short of magical, a true retreat that we were reluctant to leave. Nestled in the mountains near Lovina, this hideaway offers breathtaking views that captivate from the moment you arrive. The villa grounds are a masterpiece—perfectly manicured gardens with bonsai-style care, mature trees like coconut, mango, clove, and bottlebrush, and vibrant flowers in every shape and color. The gentle songs of birds, croaking frogs, and fish gliding in serene ponds create a symphony of nature, complemented by the soothing trickle of garden fountains that feel like music to the ears. The property boasts multiple rest and relaxation areas spread across the two villas, each adorned with beautiful weathered statues, including the charming three wise monkeys, adding a touch of Balinese history and whimsy. Inside, the villas are a treasure trove of gorgeous art and artifacts, immersing you in authentic Balinese culture. The ambiance truly makes this a home away from home, with a massive, inviting pool perfect for lounging with a cold beverage—whether you choose their curated selection of alcohol or bring your own. The staff were exceptional, embodying warmth and politeness, ensuring every need was met with care. The culinary offerings were a highlight, with a delightful mix of Western and Balinese breakfast, lunch, and dinner options, each dish bursting with flavor. For a change of pace, we ventured to the nearby Warung Widya, a local gem that added variety to our dining experience and left us thoroughly impressed. Adventure seekers will find plenty to love. I went deep-sea fishing and had an unforgettable time, reeling in four mahi-mahi, a needlefish, and a shark, though five barracuda slipped away. If fishing is your passion, this is a must-do. We also visited local waterfalls, where swimming in the fresh mountain water left us rejuvenated.

Even after reading all those great reviews upfront, we were still amazed by this place. The larger villa is enormous, both in size as in decoration. It took me a few hours to go around the rooms and take it all in, and I loved it. Stepping out of the house, through those great open doors, onto that marvellous large terrace with magnificent view.... whoa, what a royal feeling. Don't come here if you don't like isolation in nature, if you can't stand noise at night, if you prefer a cosy modern-style hotel room nearby other tourists, if you prefer attractions, beach, restaurants at walking distance ... Please come here if you appreciate and respect nature, local life, great views, Balinese culture, people, history, and art, .... Thank you, Wayan, Oka! All the best to you!

We have been travelling for 5 months now, and we can say that Villa Patria is our favorite place that brought us a such serenity! These 4 days have been magical thanks to Wayang and her team, they paid attention to every details! Food, laundry, beds, bathroom… everything is amazing! We really enjoyed every minutes in this small Balinese paradise and would love to come back in the future! Also, a special thanks to Wayang for the attention she had for my girlfriend’s birthday!

What didn't we like!?!? This place is amazing. We wanted to come to the north side of Bali to relax a bit and just enjoy some down time. We got exactly what we were hoping for. Massages - so enjoyable and we loved that they came to us and that it was outdoors. Food - UNREAL & DELICIOUS. We went out one night and both wished we were back at the Villa eating some home cooked meals. We ate here for breakfast lunch and dinner and didn't have a bad meal once. All fresh, all local and just what you want. Don't go out, nothing will touch this cooking. The ribs are the best I've ever had. Pool - beautiful, clean and loved that it was an infinity pool. Gardens - this place is gorgeous. Every tree, flower, bush, plant, fountain, etc...is so well taken care of and it's seriously so so pretty. You've never seen a better maintained landscape oasis. Room - our room/villa was so cute. All the furniture is unique and clearly very well made. I appreciated the decor and quality a lot. I also really enjoyed the outdoor bathroom so much. The shower was amazing and the water got so hot, I loved it. We ate outside under the comfort of the outdoor patio, lounged on the day bed. played games, relaxed, read books. Laundry - If i forgot to mention that they did my husbands laundry he would have been upset. This was so clutch at that mid way point in our 2 week trip and it saved us time and the headache of logistically figuring out where to go to do laundry. A mini fridge, water, AC in the bed room, privacy, fish outside in the pond, infinity pool, and of course the ROCKSTAR staff made this our favorite spot to stay in Bali by far.

I can think of NOTHING i didn't like about this place. I only regret not having every single meal at the Villa here when I was in Lovina.

From the moment we arrived it was paradise. Oka and the team welcomed us with drinks and brought us through our amazing villa and grounds. The villa was superb full of amazing Balinese artifacts and the grounds immaculate. Breakfast Lunch and dinner served on your balcony was 5* we could want for nothing. Nonobtrusive staff but attentive . For sure this is 7*

The villa is absolutely incredible, well decorated and calm. This was all the more appreciated that the local hosts, Oka & Wayan are very professional, very kind and helpful whenever needed . You really made this stay an amazing memory for me and my 2 kids! 🙏 We really looking forward to coming back to Villa Patria soon!

Location on the hill is amazing, a lot privacy and stunning villa. Staff is wonderful and goes over and beyond to help you. Pictures don't do justice to this place. Villa is decorated with beautiful locall art and the pool with view over the hills to the sea is absolutely fantastic. The villa is huge and you can get lost in the garden. Our kids loved the garden and fruit in it.

There is not much to improve, some really small things. There are some loose tiles in the pool. And there is a mosque nearby so at 6 am you can hear the prayers. And there a some dogs barking at night and in the early morning. Nothing the villa can do about, but something to keep in mind if you want to sleep in

Everything is PERFECT. They welcomed us with a welcome drink and the villa is truly amazing. We booked the one bedroom villa and decided to extend our stay to the two bedroom villa, the bed was super comfortable. The Villa and the rooms looks like in the pictures but it’s more magical in real life. I can even describe it.. The food is amazing, I have spent 2 weeks in Bali and the food here is the best I’ve had in Bali. I recommend the grilled Prawns! The staff was wonderful and kind, the best service you could ever imagine. I decided to celebrate my birthday earlier and they came with cake and candles for me which I am truly grateful for. This was the highlight to my Bali trip. You will not be disappointed!

Nothing. Bare in mind the roads on the way to the villa could get you a little bit car sick!

Sweet Villa Patria ruined the rest of our trip by boosting our expectations to new heights. Nothing else could compare after this stay. It was an OUTSTANDING space with a beautiful mostly saltwater infinity pool.. We adored the staff, especially Wayan who treated us like friends. Our food was amazing, highly reco the tuna steak. It boasted peacefulness, seclusiveness, and a well-groomed garden. Book your stay without any worry of regret. Thank you Patria!

We were lucky to have the entire place to ourselves and enjoyed every second of it! The crew does everything to make you feel at home. The garden is so well maintained - incredible!

Because they work with fresh products and the property is so small, you have to tell them in advance what you’d like for breakfast/lunch/dinner. Not a big deal to us, but if you like to live in the moment it might ;).
