Villa Padi was such a dream getaway! Bali can be an assault on the senses with the constant offers of taxi rides and the millions of things to buy, but Villa Padi provided us with a respite from the hustle and bustle of it all. It was just what I needed - a gorgeous and very clean private room, a large bathroom with a bathtub and an outdoor private shower, a swimming pool, and some great hangout areas for everyone - the book nook, the living room, outdoor patio, and outdoor shaded eating area. It was a short walk to the beach and a local temple, with great surfing to boot (although I am not a surfer!). The cook was great, and all staff was very helpful. Our driver, Nyoman, was patient and knowledgeable about areas. He and the rest of the staff made us feel very at home and welcome. We hope to visit again next year!
