Magnificent villa with everything planned in it, the view is just magnificent seen directly on the sea, the pool is large exposed to the sun always warm it's super nice. Ketut is the plus of this stay, she did everything to make it perfect!
Loving is quiet and there are plenty of nearby sites to visit!

Villa Hi-ku-me was for us 8 days enjoyment. The house, the garden,pool and the view were really fantastic! The staff was very friendly and Ketut the housekeeper made restaurant worthy dishes. To do anything you need a car for everything, but yes, the driver is ready for you! Con: renovating neighbors, noise pollution..

A lovely house, with everything you wish for. Very quiet location. Ketut makes for fantastic food.

During our trip to Bali we stayed 6 nights in this beautiful villa. We enjoyed the beautiful view, the swimming pool, the beautiful garden and the delicious food prepared by Ketut.
We made a few nice trips in the area, but otherwise mostly enjoyed the pool and played games in the lumbugs.

Very nice villa, very spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. Beautiful location right by the sea with a fantastic garden. Lots of places to sit/lie/hang comfortably.

Very nice villa, very spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. Beautiful location right by the sea with a fantastic garden. Lots of places to sit/lie/hang comfortably.
The staff was super friendly, they cooked delicious food for us, the garden and the swimming pool were neatly cared for and the night watchman was always very nice.
Our experience was only positive, everything was done to make us feel at home and it was completely successful.
The location is a bit behind, you can't walk to shops or restaurants yourself. But the driver was always available, just send a Whatsapp and it was arranged. The restaurants in the area also have pick up service.
This beautiful villa is definitely recommended!

We stayed 4 weeks at the villa in November 2018. Fantastic villa for a carefree holiday. Very friendly and competent staff (gardeners, cleaning and cook and security) with whom contact can be easily made. Responsive helpdesk if there are minor issues. In short, highly recommended.

The villa is beautiful and the garden with the pool are fantastic. There is a lot of space around the villa. You mainly live outside.

The villa is beautiful and the garden with the pool are fantastic. There is a lot of space around the villa. You mainly live outside.
You can see that a lot of thought has gone into the design and furnishing of the villa. The amazing staff is busy with the garden and maintenance and cleaning on a daily basis. The photos on the site are completely correct, only the atmosphere you feel about it is not visible in the photos. It's delicious.
It is very quiet, so you are dependent on transport.

We spent the night with our family from 14 to 18 July 2017 in Villa Hikume. It was awesome. We had a great time there.
The contact in advance with Irene and Ruud about the booking + the payment went fine. We have just returned to the Netherlands, the deposit had already been refunded.
The description + photos on the website are correct. The villa, the pool and the garden look beautiful. Reality is more impressive than the photos. Actually, it is more beautiful in "real life" than in the pictures.
We were picked up by the driver in Ubud. On the way to the villa, he stopped at several places to show you sights (Pura Ulun Danu Bratan Temple, Twin Lakes, monkeys, ...). The welcome in the villa by the staff was great. The stay and the care excellent. June cooked deliciously and took good care of us. All the staff were very friendly, they were always there for us. When we left, they were all waving goodbye.
In addition to the dolphin tour, we spent 1/2 day with Jaya and again to Lovina. With some resting, swimming and massage, our 4 nights at the villa were way too quick to pass.
In short: we had a great time, we had a wonderful time, thank you very much for that (also to Juni, Gede, Putu and Kadek).
