Satori villas are located in the middle of the green belt rice fields in Ubud, where you can watch farmers working in the rice fields from our balcony. It is a really special location but still very central to the main streets of Ubud (10 mins walk). As a family of four we stayed in the 2 bedroom villa. It was huge! The two bedrooms and two bathrooms were located upstairs, and downstairs was a large loungeroom, kitchen, separate seating area and another toilet. French doors opened up onto a verandah with a large outdoor dining table that overlooked the gorgeous pool! Our teenagers loved using the motorbike service to go to town and back (even though we could walk!). The staff and service were incredible. Our breakfast was cooked for us daily in our villa, with many options to choose from and toast, juice, coffee and fruit accompanied every meal. We also enjoyed a great dinner at the villa restaurant next door (sister restaurant to Dolci Arancia in Ubud). The pizza and pasta was straight out of Italy! The rice field walk is right outside the villa and takes you along the river and then into town. There are some lovely places to stop for coffee or food along the way, overlooking the rice fields. It is incredibly peaceful. We also walked to Campuhan Ridge walk from the villa and walked several times into Ubud central to Jl Monkey Forest Jl Raya Ubud. I highly recommend Satori villas as a central place to stay in Ubud. It is like you are in a whole different world staying among the rice fields with no cars able to access the area. But you are still very close to town.

The Santana villa at the Satori villas complex was exactly what we were looking for - spacious, in the outskirts of Ubud, right next to rice fields. The pictures on the Satori villa onsite is a good representation of the villa. Good to know is that there was some 100 meters where you cannot drive a car which the hotel informs about on their web site and in your booking confirmation. But the staff is very helpful and offers to transport you to/from Ubud centrum by motor bikes whenever you want (and the same with your luggage when arriving). We preferred walking to Ubud centrum which only took around 10-15 minutes. Before you arrive they send you much helpful information about things like Visa and hotel car service from the airport. The villa had all you need if you want to cook for yourself. But if you book breakfast like we did you not only get really nice fresh fruit but also get to choose between things like Nasi Goreng, banana pancakes or toast which the staff come and cook for you in the villa in the morning. You send your breakfast order and other requests via a WhatsApp group to the staff which is very convenient. Since the villa is right next to rice fields and nature there will be birds, frogs, lizards and ants in your surroundings, and occasional roosters sounding from the nearby farm houses. But as said - for us this was only part of experiencing the true Bali. We ordered car service from and to the airport via the Satori villas which worked very good even if we got delayed arriving. We also hired a driver for a full day from the same car service to visit different sites in Bali. Our driver Wayan was very service minded and gave suggestions for our trips, for example to a water fall with much fewer people, and he even shared stories about Bali, the culture and way of living - to be honest this was one of our highlights of our Bali trip.

One of our A/Cs was malfunctioning with dripping water into one of the closets.

This was our favorite accommodation during our Bali vacation. The staff are excellent with communication even before your stay making sure you have everything you need, pick up from airport, in villa massages, private chef for dinner, any tour you would like all lined up before your arrival. We had in villa massages and an in villa dinner scheduled for our first night as we knew we would be exhausted from traveling and it was the best way to start our vacation. The FOOD!!!! Everything from the soup to the veggies to the noodles and dessert were incredible! They prepared enough food for days. Each morning a crew would come into our kitchen and prepare the most glorious breakfasts we looked forward to each day (you make a selection the day before) I particularly enjoyed waking up at dawn and walking up the driveway to the path in the rice terraces to watch the sunrise over Mt Batur each day. You can even hear chanting in the distant from the local temples. My only complaint is that we didn't have more time in this amazing place. Just walking distance from the art market, many delicious Warungs tucked away in the paddies, massage spa galore and delicious restaurants all very close but when you retire for the evening you are in a very serene place that feels far from it all. I cannot wait to return to Satori Villas!!!

Ketut. Putu and Wayan collected our bags on arrival with a luggage scooter. We walked on a short distance and arrived at our 4 bedtroom villa over looking the rice fields and beautiful pool. We were blown away on how beautiful the gardens rooms and each outside beautiful rain shower cubicle was for each room. Every morning a beautiful breakfast selection was cooked with fresh justices and toast and jam by the staff. I would highly recommend staying here for at least 5 days. We stayed two it wasn't long enough.

Absolutely nothing.

Excellent breakfast made in the villa every morning! Location - Very quiet area but still close to Ubud, It is easy to walk, however, the staff bring you right to the town any time you like if you don’t want to walk. The villa is very clean, comfortable, and spacious. We loved it! Highly recommend

One of my favourite places, Ubud is so busy, this villa is right outside and so relaxing on the ride fields. Great staff, tasty breakfast each morning and families were so tidy and clean

Incredibly well located in the heart of Ubud in the rice fields. The staff was so kind and helpful, offering many pick up /drop offs with the motorbikes in and out of the villa. Breakfast was so good and there are many good warungs around. Perfect villa for 3 couples or a family. loved the swimming pool too!

Staff and service was excellent. Very friendly and accomodating. Villa was very spacious and comfortable.

This is a beautiful, beautiful villa that is so peaceful and very well appointed. The view across the rice paddies from the central courtyard and pool are delightful. The villa is far enough away from the centre of Ubud to feel like you are well out of the hustle and bustle and close enough (10 mins walk) to get into town to eat and shop. We spent five days here with our two children and their partners and our 14 month old grand daughter and loved it. We really appreciated Satori Villas organising a bamboo pool fence for us to hire so we didn't need to be as concerned about her crawling into the pool. The staff are so friendly and accomodating and the breakfasts cooked in the Villa kitchen brilliant - fruit, juice, toast and a choice of eggs, pancakes and nasi or mie goreng. We will be back for sure!!

Can't think of a thing.

The villas are set in the most peaceful and beautiful location, surrounded by rice fields and ducks. Super lovely setting. The staff are so friendly and helpful, the villas are approx 5 mins along a path from the main hustle of Ubud - it’s a very pretty walk but they will gladly run you in on their scooters with a moments notice. We are a family of 5 with 3 kids (2,5,7) they loved these scooter rides very much! The staff cook a delicious breakfast each morning in your villa, at a time that suits you. The service was wonderful and again, so friendly. The pool was a hit with our kids, spending hours in it each day. The area is also really beautiful to wander around.

There are a few ants around but they didn’t bother us, very much expected in rural locations.
