The villa has three main areas, the main house which has three beautiful bedrooms that are very comfortable, and a great shared Space. Separate areas for two bedrooms and ensuite each. One is near the enterence and the other down a number of stairs. Theses are a little more rustic and older but still beautifully unique and very comfortable. The beds are little hard but they each have everything that you need including a kitchen area with kitchen, fridge, kettles and beautiful outlooks. Villa was in a great location. It’s about 15 to 25 minute walk into a board depending on where you want to go but within 10 minutes, you can be at heaps of restaurants and shops. Just outside the villa on the street. There is about 45 restaurants I recommend Savannah and ginger Marong both fantastic food and there is a little restaurant right at your front door that will deliver food to your villa.. The pool and grounds are just stunning. It’s very old established garden and has beautiful areas some lovely private spaces that you can fit and a great space for a meeting as a family and hanging out hanging around the pool. The staff are really attentive they anticipate your needs and always really helpful. They come turn the lights on and off adjust the doors depending on the weather bring extra towels and make sure that the water is full fare just incredible. The breakfast is great. You can order the night before what you like. The staff are amazing, it’s the extra t

I planned my 50th birthday many many months ago with the help of Adrienne, who at every stage was very helpful and got back to me as soon as possible. Our booking was for 11 people, so was a bit nervous organising the trip. With Adrienne I felt very confident about our booking as her communication was excellent. Then we arrive at Villa Madu!! It was and is absolutely breathtaking, an inland paradise. It was a surreal experience for all of us. Our party stayed scattered amongst the main Villa, the Magnolia House and River Cottage. The Villa is absolutely beautiful, the bedrooms amazing, romantic, just perfect, a fantastic communal area for the lot of us to have breakfast, lounge around, rest and relax and beautifully decorated. The Magnolia House is just gorgeous, waking up to a beautiful sunrise in the trees, just stunning. The River House, a beautiful, authentic, beautifully set up romantic house. Going to sleep to the sound of running water in the river below, just magical. The gardens are magical, the statues, ponds with coy to feed, the turtles, the pool OMG I could go on and on. Then we have the hard working staff, Wayan, is a legend, Nurdi is a beautiful human being, thank you for your beautiful cooking and our chats, Dewa you do an amazing job. I'm so sorry I can't remember the other names of your team, your faces are in my mind, but you are all wonderful. Thank you for the amazing banquet for my birthday, the cake, everything. Loved every bit, thank you so much.

I had the pleasure of celebrating a milestone birthday at the Villa Madu last week with a group of my closest friends. The premises are absolutely breathtaking - you are surrounded by the jungle and it's very much an indoor-outdoor living concept with windows and light in every room. We loved that everyone had their own room space and the common area was easily accessible for everyone to come and mingle. The daily breakfast and added meals were absolutely delicious, the staff are excellent (friendly and not intrusive), and the spaces were cleaned daily. The host, Adrienne, is a great communicator and helped us coordinate daily transportation and activities too. I highly recommend Villa Madu for anyone who's looking for a homebase in Ubud, just bring your swimsuit, sunscreen, and bug spray!

This was a magical experience. Pictures do not do justice to the beauty and tranquility of the property. The secluded entrance, bridge over the koi pond, indoor/outdoor living spaces, and of course, the pool were all immaculate and the perfect modern traditional Balinese place we called home. The staff was unbelievable and helped us arrange dinner, a private banquet complete with music, dancers, and food, scooters, laundry, and welcomed us like family. This was the first of several stops in Bali and the one where felt the most "at home" in our villa.

There are so many great things to say about the Villa Madu and the staff. They did an amazing job during my stay, no details left unturned. I was met at the airport by one of the staff and transported to Villa Madu. From the moment of my arrival I felt like I was part of a small family. I was greeted with smiles and made to feel very welcome. The resort is comfortable and incredibly well designed. My room overlooked the forest, filled with tranquility and life. The beautiful bathroom held a luxurious tub located on an outdoor balcony; a great spot to soak, meditate and gaze at the night sky. At this peaceful setting, one can also experience a relaxing massage as well as, delicious Indonesian cuisine. The Villa is located in close proximity to cultural sites, local shops and tasty eateries. Needless to say, I fell in love with this beautiful resort in Ubud, on the island of Bali, staffed by kind, hospitable people. I highly recommend you visit Villa Madu and feel quite certain you will be pleased with your stay.

Our one biggest regret of our 2-week holiday in Bali is that we did not stay at Villa Madu first. Had we known what it would be like, we would have cancelled all other accommodations and just stayed there. We stayed only 4 nights; we could have stayed the entire 2 weeks and still would not have had our fill. Beyond all the marvellous sightseeing and shopping, the very best part was just staying in the villa, eating the wonderful meals prepared there or ordered in, getting massages and pedicures by the pool, playing cards or board games (there is a large selection) or a game of ping pong, or music on the drums and guitars provided; or watching a movie on the laptop beamed through the projector on to the 2 meter screen. Just being together with our extended family gathered together from far-flung countries - This was seriously paradise. The 12 of us knew, from the moment we set foot in the Villa, that this was coming home. They took such good care of us - Nurdi, Dewa, Jero, Wayan and all of the staff. Breakfast was so amazing we could barely believe that dinner was even better. They helped us organize transportation, motorbike rentals, in-house massages or spa visits, meals, laundry, and even made special meals for one of us who was under the weather. Even Alfie, the friendly little white dog, came by each evening to say hello to each of us in turn, one by one. The property is secluded, being set back from the road. You can actually feel the air temperature drop several degrees when you step through the massive teak wood gates. Each room in the villa has it's own charms and none of them are the same. They have been thoughtfully furnished and decorated, so there is a feeling of warmth and intimacy being surrounded with beautiful original paintings, stone carvings, and a collection of pieces from the owner's world travels. The location couldn't be better - just a few minutes walk to the main road and all that central Ubud has to offer. What wonderful memories we were able to take away with us. We can't wait to return to make more.

We stayed at Villa Madu with 2 other families (14 people in total) for one week in mid July. I wished we could have stayed forever....the property is simply stunning and we were so well cared for by Adrienne and all the staff. (Our children wanted to adopt Dee as their mother !). We loved absolutely everything about the property / the pool and water features, the outdoor bathroom, the location to town (5 min walk), the open air feel of the main villa, the exquisite furnishings in each room, the rustic bungalows hidden below the main villa, the gardens.....my list could go on and on ! With 14 people, there was so much space we could all escape to our own area, yet still come together in the main villa - which never felt crowded as it blended right into the outdoors. A real highlight was breakfast each morning and the dinners we had prepared by Dee...we have never eaten so well ! The food was a real highlight, as were all the staff. Nothing was too much trouble, from booking cycling tours to taking us to the local market to buy ingredients for dinner (and showing us how to cook it !). We felt so grateful to be able to stay at Villa Madu, and enjoy the delights of Ubud. Such a special part of world - and so good for the soul. Our own family of 5 are already talking about when we shall return to Ubud and Villa Madu. We absolutely loved it. Sonia

Let me start off by saying this the first review I've ever written in my entire life. As I write my eyes are watering with the unforgettable memories we've had with the Owner and her staff. My experience here compelled me so greatly I had to express it someway or the other. The staff are the most genuine, kind and helpful people I've ever met in my life. Nurdi, the chef, rushed to receive us along with the rest of the staff and promptly led us to our rooms as they brought in our lugggage behind us. We were welcomed with fresh juices and incredible complementary snacks which we then constantly pestered her for the recipe. Adrienne, the owner came to greet us after we settled in which surprised us because in most places the owners don't have time to mingle but she took time out of her busy schedule to personally make sure we were accomadated properly. Did I mention the property? It was breathtaking. I know this review might sound dramatic but if you look at any other review they say the exact same thing because it's true! The villa is located along a natural ravine which is wonderful in the evening as it provides cooler breezes. This isn't your stuffy, touristy, concrete closed off hotel room they give you a real experience of Bali in this Villa. I could go on and on but who wants to read an essay of my experiences? Come see for yourself they will make your trip the most memorable time of your life. Thank you again Villa Madu there's a reason your the most popular place in Ubud!
