One bedroom call villa was stunning, beautiful out, book over rice paddies and the bush. Food was fantastic. Staff were fantastic. Infinity pool fantastic. One of the best places I’ve ever stayed at that sort of price.

We loved the serenity of Villa Semana, the privacy and location allow for a real luxury getaway while still being close to Ubud and surrounds. The staff were fantastic and the restaurant food and service 5 star. The amenities and grounds are very well presented. This would be an excellent venue for a larger gathering such as a wedding celebration. As a honeymoon/romantic/relaxation Villa Semana is perfect. We loved it!

The natural beauty was everywhere. It was quite noisy for a secluded resort. But I think that may have just been the luck of the draw. I don’t expect that there will be temple ceremonies with loud music until late at night often. It just so happened to be when we were there. Thank you so much for your kindness and beautiful setting.

Villa was beautiful and it was great to have a large pool as well as the private villa pool. The view of the rice field as you come in to the resort is breathtaking. The restaurant was disappointing as the food wasn’t up to the standard of the hotel which was a shame. The hotel is quite isolated which is lovely for peace and quiet but the shuttle isn’t very frequent which makes getting around a pain. Would be great if they increased the number of shuttles a day or did it on a bookable basis as many of the other hotels seem to do. The trips they are offer are quite expensive so would recommend looking on Trip Advisor for those instead. Also everything seems to be priced in US dollars.

The property is really well maintained you cannot fault the staff excellent. my only concern was that it was harvesting time for the rice and there were workers stationed a couple of metres from our pool for most of the day, the shower is outside so this was not so private for us which was a concern. They should have let s know at time of booking .

Superb place! The pictures don’t do it justice. If you have a spa treatment that involves a bath, your tub is facing the river on one side and a small waterfall on the other. It was the most beautiful setting I’ve ever seen. The staff were all so friendly and polite. Meant to be a quiet/relaxing spot. Not much to do on the resort, but Ubud is a short drive away.

Peaceful villa in the rice terraces of Ubub
I stayed here mainly to be out of the busy city of Ubud and be in the beautiful, quiet rice terraces. The grounds are so peaceful and well-maintained. I didnt see any guests for my first two days here! It's so serene and everyone that stays there seems to keep to themselves. The made to order breakfasts by the pool are delicious. The staff is all so lovely and the free shuttle to the city was so convenient! I would note you are staying in nature, so geckos, lizards and chickens are the norm!

Amazing experience from beginning to end. This property is more beautiful in reality than the photos. Tranquility, beauty and great view of a gorgeous rice field, meditation space, spa by the Ayun river. They call it courtesy shuttle, but it was more a “private driver” into center of Ubud.

Excellent location near the river with beautiful views, although far from the downtown of Ubud. The two-story villa we had was wonderful, the food was very good, the service and staff were excellent, but the only downside is the lack of activities at the hotel. It would have been nice to have a billiards table, a ping-pong table, a darts game, or a tennis court would have been perfect!

Ideal place to chill and relax
Have never felt so well looked after, the staff were amazing. Lovely villa overlooking the river - loved, loved, loved our stay here. There were so many little things that made the stay special. If you missed the free afternoon tea, a little tray of chocs or Macaroons in your room on your return, the rooms are services in the morning, but also there is a turn down service in the evening. Everything is so attentive and well thought out, really felt special.

We had a very nice one night stay here, the views over the paddy fields from our a room and of the river from the restaurant were a highlight. It was very refreshing after the traffic and commercialisation of Denpasar, Seminyak etc. and I would recommend staying in Ubud and at the Semana.

Could this be Eat, Pray, Love?
Villa Semana is located approximately 7km/15 mins from Ubud Town centre. However, a timetabled complimentary shuttle is offered almost every hour to and from the town. It costs 50,000 if you wish to travel outside the timetable, which is cheaper than you would pay a taxi anyway. Villa Semana is absolutely stunning, surrounded by jungle with rice fields to the right and flowing river just below the pool. We stayed in the cheapest villa and it was incredible. The villa was 2-stories with the upstairs being a chill-out study. It had an both an inside and outside shower, plunge pool and amazing view. The staff were so lovely and eager to please. We would often talk with the staff and they were such beautiful people. Unfortunately we didn't check out the spa until our last day when we were out of time. It is right on the river and super relaxing. I honestly have never seen a spa in such an amazing location like this before. Our flight didn't leave until later in the evening and the staff were more than accommodating to provide us with a really late check-out so that we could still enjoy the facilities during the day. We were happy to pay the premium for the Semana airport transfer because of this. Villa Semana is perfect for couples to relax at the end of a holiday. We came from Gili T so I found it a huge shock to go from such craziness to such peace and tranquility. Due to it's location, it may not be for everyone such as singles looking to meet other travellers.

Villa Semana is a dream! Gorgeous setting that feels like you died and went to heaven. Private pool villa? Yes, please. Excellent service, wonderful kind staff. Shuttle service to Ubud was incredibly convenient. It's on a schedule, but they will take you anytime you need if you just give 15 minutes notice. We were greeted with iced rose wine, a beautiful plate of fruit, and rose petals in the bath (it was our honeymoon)! Each night we came back to find a plate of goodies - almond cookies, chocolates, etc. Those little touches, the incredible location, and the kind staff made this a fantastic hotel!

The Most Amazing Staff, Location and Food
It is set in the most tranquil setting with beautiful gardens with views of the Rice Paddies and River. Amazing Villas with private pool that we used when ever we where there. Great bedroom with air conditioning and out door sitting room and Lotus pond was a unique experience. The staff were all so helpful and kind and really made our stay at Villa Semana the special experience it was. We miss them all and hope to visit them again. Try our new cocktail the Baliiwi Tea ;) The food was outstanding. Even the most basic of options were filled with flavour. We did the cooking class with the Chef which was a great fun day and would recommend if you have the time to do it. The spa was set down with the river and was really good. listening to the river and the other nature noises was very relaxing. My partner and i did the evening couples massage package which was really special. You can get a shuttle into Ubud village easily with the Villa Semana drivers which is only 15 mins away. They can also organise day trips for you. They were very friendly and able to answer questions when we went along about the strange sites we saw. We stayed the full 7 nights here and ventured out on day trips to other areas in Bali and found it a really great central location. It was great to go and spend a day or/and night in the busier areas of Kuta or Seminyak and then come back to the peace and tranquility of Villa Semana.

Wonderfully relaxing experience!
My husband and I stayed in Villa Semana for a night after staying in Jimbaran. We were warmly welcome by Dewi the moment we arrived at the villa. All the staff we met were extremely friendly and accommodating. The complimentary shuttle service to Ubud centre was helpful as the villa is a good 20 minutes away from town. The driver was prompt and reliable. We didn't even need to remember the car plate number for our return pick up as the driver confidently assured, "don't worry, I will recognise you." The villa is cosily decorated and it is refreshing experience for urban dwellers like us to fall asleep to the sounds of nature and waking up to roosters crowing in the padi fields. We had our breakfast served in the room and food was yummy! For those with sweet tooth, I'd recommend the crepes with banana. Love the infinity pool, presents a great view of the river, well kept and clean. Just a short note for ladies, there will be a fair amount of small bugs and insects since we are sharing space with nature. But the best thing is there are no mosquitoes at all! Overall our stay in Villa Semana was a wonderful experience and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a relaxing escapade from the busy city life.

Enjoying Ubud at its finest
we really enjoy our stay here and would not hesitate to come back if was given chance!. the staff was really friendly and and welcoming. the room is superb and the view of the rice paddy field is majestic. the only downside is that there is too many lizards on the wall and frogs in the room pond that jumps out into the resting place.
