Peaceful, beautiful, excellent communication from Patrick, lovely gardens and gorgeous pool. The rural area and friendly people made it an oasis of calm after the noise of the south. We will be back!

Possibly offering lunch would be lovely. Otherwise there are no faults as the staff always tried to make sure you were looked after.

The most unique tropical and true surrounding if Bali. Peaceful and calming. The dinner was exceptional traditional Balinese food, can't fault it.

Not a problem, but just for information. You are in a rural area, so dogs barking and roosters crowing is to be expected. The sounds of nature are all around.

Patrick, the host is welcoming and engaging with guests. He showed me the wonderful natural food jungle surrounding the villa, and explained the production of the local palm alcohol. Patrick and his staff genuinely enjoy assisting and communicating with their guests. The French crepes and local fruits for breakfast are delicious. And dinner at the Villa is always delicious. I was without my own transport, so Patrick helped me organise day trips to the waterfalls and lake batur, and to another village where craftsmen make the instruments for gamellan performances. There's also plenty of opportunities to relax by the pool or have a wonderfully relaxing massage from the masseuse who attends the Villa on request. The local village is a pleasant 20 -30 minute walk, depending on the route. The local villagers are friendly and helpful. There are not many tourists in this area yet...enjoy it while you can! I spent 3.5 weeks at Villa Markisa and will be back again. The bed and pillows are the most comfortable I've experienced in my 5 months in Bali. I had the double room with fan, no aircon and it was perfect for temperature control and ventilation. The triple rooms have air-conditioning. I was also doing a lot of online study and the wifi was fast and reliable.

Patrick was an amazing host! Breakfast and dinner were cooked by his talented chef and was always a delicious delight. The pool was right beside our room which felt like we had it all to ourselves surrounded by such beautiful nature. Bonus was the super cute kitten. I will be returning in January with my close friends – can't wait!

I could say getting there it is quite hard but it is just so worth it.

Such an amazing vibe and a true Balinese experience, surrounded by rice fields and jungle. The best place we stayed in Bali so far.

The only thing we could think of was adding a bath mat into the bathroom. Otherwise, absolutely nothing!

Stunning location, really comfortable room, clean and smelt great. Isolated area that makes you feel like you’re in real traditional rural Bali. Patrick was charming, and answered all our questions. We ate at the Villa in the evenings and the food was delicious! We were able to rent mopeds, and get help with attaining a guide to visit Fiji waterfall and the waterslide. We were also assisted with booking transport to Villa Markisa and onto our next location. It was fantastic value for money, and would definitely stay again! Thank you!!

I recently stayed at one of Patrick’s rooms and had an exceptional experience. The room was comfortable and well-equipped with everything we needed. The hospitality was impeccable—Patrick is a wonderful host who is always ready to assist with any questions you might have. I highly recommend this destination for anyone looking to discover an authentic Bali experience. Patrick’s home is nestled in a beautiful small valley, offering stunning views at sunrise. If you want to experience the true essence of Bali, this is the place to be.

After +20 years of travel experience as independent traveler and +15 years experience as hotel manager, this is doubtless one of the best accomodations I have ever been to. I mainly would highlight the professionality of Patrick, the person in charge, truly focused on guest satisfaction. The place has it all, the standard of service, cleanliness, maintenance, gardening, activities, room comfort, remote working facilities, food, breakfast is just unbeatable, hard to find not only in Bali, but anywhere in the world for these rates. I know how hard you have to work to keep it up, so I just must show my respect and say "Congratulations Villa Markisa Pakisan team"

It would of been nice if our room faced the view but the garden was still a nice view

The breakfast was great. The owner gave us some of the markisa/passion fruit that grows on the property as well as the homemade jam they make. Theres some nice hiking close by towards the mountains and a few huge trees.

Literally nothing! All was perfect.

We originally booked for 7 nights, but we keep extending our stay here. We will sty for 25 days in total. The Guest House feels like home, it has 3 rooms in total, which is perfect. The location is perfect – We have been in Bali for 6 months and this is our favorite place so far. The villa and surroundings are so beautiful, surrounded by mountains, rice fields, rivers and waterfalls. There are shops & restaurants in the village, just 1 km away. The villa is close to some of Bali's most beautiful waterfalls: Sekumpul Waterfall, Fushi Waterfall, & he waterslide. There is also a beautiful hiking trail around the villa, which we have walked several times. The food is delicious: Both breakfast and dinner. Every morning and evening, you can choose to eat in the villa, which we have done every day so far. The food is made with fresh ingredients and generous portions. Breakfast includes bread, fresh pancakes, and homemade jam from different fruits. Lots of fruit. Coffee, tea, juice,.. Sometimes yogurt, bread, eggs,... Dinner is amazing (!always ends with a homemade dessert, such as passion fruit, mango, coconut, and dragon fruit ice creams, as well as chocolate cakes and more. They often surprise you with something extra to taste, like local fruits, snacks, or other treats he picks up at the local market. The pool is great and the garden is beautiful, with plants and flowers, and everything is very well maintained. The rooms are clean and spacious, have good beds, furniture in good condition and plenty of storage space. Also good bathroom: shower has hot water with good water pressure. All listed facilities are available & functioned perfectly: fast WiFi, fully equipped kitchen, scooter rental, laundry service, massages, local guides, and free water, coffee, and tea all day. A must-do: The owners are partner with an association supporting Indonesian children's education. You can visit the association.

Villa Markisa Pakistan is a great place to enjoy the quiet of a rural mountain village. It's surrounding is beautiful, and the nature is all around you. With a motor bike you can come everywhere, and for longer distances you can hire easily a car with driver. The villa is designed in a modern style, and offers you all the comfort you can wish for. Patrick, the French owner is a perfect host, always willing to help you with everything. Dinner and breakfast are great. As mentioned before: the Villa is a wonderful place to be, for shorter or somewhat longer time.

The only thing (didn't bother us) is, it is quite remote. Scooter or driver recommended if you want to explore the area. Unless you want to go trekking as there are some excellent treks in the area

Peaceful, beautiful scenery. Patrick is an excellent host.

- The room we selected did not have air conditioning which we were not aware of when booking. There is however a fan and as the location is quite high up in the mountains, the temperature is quite mild. -As we were situated in the room close to the front of the property, there is some natural noise in the morning.

We were pleasantly surprised! It is a remote location, with the most beautiful surrounding views. The hospitality we received from Patrick and his team was just impeccable and the optional meals provided are so incredibly delicious! Considering the remoteness of the location, I would definitely opt in for dinner at the hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wish we could have stayed longer.

I am incredibly delighted to have discovered this wonderful villa in the north of Bali. At first, it was the villa that drew me in, but I soon found true friends and a family there. The incredible atmosphere created by the owner, the charming Frenchman Patrick, is something out of a dream. Traveling solo, my aim was to immerse myself in the culture, nature, and ultimately, to find myself. This place offered exactly what I was searching for. Everything about the villa was perfect – the breakfasts, cleanliness, comfort, coziness, and relaxation (you can order a massage at any time). Patrick can arrange anything you wish for, just ask. Special thanks to him and the guide Wayan. I am thrilled and highly recommend this villa to all travelers, especially families. You’re in for a wonderful surprise.

Villa Markisa is a PARADISE in the middle of the most beautiful forest in Bali. A real local experience in pure nature surrounded by rice fields, rivers, waterfalls and small villages. Patrick in charged of the villa was very kind, generous and helpful! High level quality for a reasonable price. I highly recommend this place!

Nothing. Wish we’d stayed longer

By far the best place we stayed in Bali. Beautifully designed, built and maintained. Super clean, with gorgeous mountain views and a lovely pool. French hosts are welcoming and helpful. Food is STELLAR. Very much a high-end, boutique hotel vibe.

Very welcoming, very cleaned, very nice and calm place. We get a lot of ideas to enjoy our stay! This area is really the Bali I like.

The water wasn't very hot but its okay, everything else definitely made the stay wonderful

It is located in a small local indonesian village. The villa is the only place for tourists to stay there overnight. Restaurants are not nearby but you don't need them because the staff cooks dinner every night. They serve delicious local dishes (coming from someone who is picky) and they serve normal breakfast with a local side dish. The location is very quiet and peaceful, perfect if you want a break. They offer tours about and around the area with a local guide, and there are some nice waterfalls nearby. If you're heading to the North of Bali, I would definitely recommend spending a night or two here!!!
