Villa Shivareva
We stayed Villa Shivareva recently and the whole family was happy with the accomodation. The staff at the Villa were all extremely helpful and willing to assist. The Villa was well maintained and clean.

Great accommodation to stay in
Thank you all for hosting us. Ketut has always been on time to help us with every single request. Special thanks to PUTU, when you are there and he will look after the villa during your stay you will know what I meant. Putu is a person who looked after villa and environment around every day. Prefect, thank you Putu again for your great job. If I could suggest I would change the sun beds or at least repair them, most were broken, could not adjust them as parts were missing and broken.

Thanks so much for your review Tomasz. your 10/10 checkout form, I'm pleased you enjoyed my villa and team so much. What a pity you didn't say anything during your stay about the sunbeds, we would have repaired or changed them immediately. We have just changed both of them, thanks so much for your feedback. We hope to host you another time.

We had a lovely stay. Everything in the villa lives up to the images on the site and the staff's hospitality was as good as it gets. There are many local dining gems within close walking distance but one feels tucked away from the hubub of central Seminyak. Thank you, Emmanuelle for being a patient and understanding host.

Our stay was only 5 days it was at the end of a very busy tour we enjoyed the pool and the quiet place bar was close good pizza,shopping and many other restaurant were within walking distance the beach is a bit of a hike but taxi are at the end of the street check in was probably the easiest I have ever had the only suggestion I would have to improve is to replace wood around the pool

Thanks so much for your review Kerry. I appreciate you enjoyed your stay in my villa so much. Wood is a living material that turns gray over time, we are committed to maintaining it and changing it regularly if necessary. Our technician has just changed the wood around the pool, the terrace is brand new. Thanks again for being with us.

Family Holiday
We had a great stay at this Villa, Myself my Wife, Son and Mother In-law. All the Staff were really friendly, And helpful. The property is in a good location, only a 5min walk to the nearest bar and restaurant, 7min to the closest MiniMart, and about 10min walk from the Main Road, Sunset Road which has a main supermarket. It's about a 20-25 min walk to the beach. However there will be a driver available who you can hire to drop/pick you up and arrange excursions and tours too. The cost of the driver service is really cheap. The Villa itself is well presented and has plenty of appliances in the kitchen, fresh bottled hot and cold water, a Gas cooker/Hob. We used the chef service for a breakfast on our first morning in the villa, and the value, quality & quantity of the food was excellent, ended up lasting is through to the next day there was that much. The pictures in the advert were clearly taken when the Villa was first constructed. In reality some parts of the villa are looking tired and could do with a touch up, paint external walls, cracked windows in kitchen and villa garden. The loungers were good, but had previously been broken, and some of the lounger padding mats were ripped. However these are just asthstetic, and didn't bother us, or affect our use of the villa. We had 1 issue with a broken lamp in the bedroom, but this was fixed very quickly after we reported it. On the whole it's a good villa, and we would come back to it, if we were ever back in Bali.

Thanks for your review. I kindly post your review about your stay you wrote on goo gle, we can see it’s a perfect one, quite different from this one: Had an excellent stay here for a week in May. The villa was massive and had everything you could need. Large open plan living/ dining/ kitchen space which opens out on to the pool area. It had 3 large double bedrooms each with massive ensuite bathrooms. Plenty of sun loungers around the pool area, and a great wee seated area that looks into the pool. The villa was well managed by the host and her team of cooks and cleaners, and was also able to supply a driver to make trips around town or to go on excursions. Plenty of cooking utensils etc if you fancy making your own food, or you can have the chefs come in and make you breakfast, lunch or dinner, for very reasonable prices, the amount of food the make is unreal. Recommended for families or friends alike. Villa set back from main road, about a 7-10 min walk, but there is some bars, restaurants and a mini market within a 3-4 min walk. Great location. As owner, providing a villa in very good condition and always well maintained is my main mission. The villa team includes our own technician who repairs, maintains as soon as necessary, and we change the amenities very regularly. The lounge and sunbeds mattresses are new and were changed a few weeks ago. Thanks for being with us and sharing your experience.

Lovely villa for adults
Our stay was lovely and the villas was exactly as advertised. We had a toddler with us and the villa is not really suitable for toddlers. There is the pool which of course is beautiful, but there is also a water moat with wooden stepping boxes from the front door into the living room which looks lovely but is not pram or toddler friendly. The staff are delightful and the manager is very service committed.

Very very happy with the accomodation
Everything was as advertised: very clean & modern furnishings, large warm pool, rooms serviced everyday, Wayan the housekeeper speaks good English & was very helpful to guide on tourist activities, made us lovely breakfast & dinner. Walking distance to the heart of Seminyak, used also taxis available everywhere & cheap (approx AUD$3). The villa is also affiliated with a transport service; for all day driver, had Made & Wayan Edu driving us to places during our stay. Very helpful & friendly The only downside was the mosquitoes everywhere outdoors, but I guesse that’s just Bali 😊. Prepare yourself well with a good mosquito repellent I highly recommend this villa if looking to stay in Seminyak

Lovely villa
The villa was true to the photos, lovely, clean & comfortable with terriffic staff. There were a few small issues in the villa but once mentioned were soon dealt with. We found the villa to be a little further out than expected however the drivers were always available & happy to take us anywhere. Mosquito repellant & coils were a necessity to us as the villa backs onto a rice paddy. Overall we had a very plesant stay for 4 nights & easy communication with the owner Emmanuelle as often as required.

Highlight of our trip
The villa is as advertised, clean, spacious, tranquil and relaxing. There’s a responsible guard at the entrance of the lane, making us feel safe and secured. Once we entered the villa we already felt very welcomed by what we saw, the huge pool (a place we always spend the evening in after a long day out in the scorching sun)! The manager welcomed us with cold drinks and fruits, and showed us around. Each room has its own keychain with the key to that room and the entrance, giving guests more freedom for going out and about at different times and coming home without disturbing others. Then the rooms. Comfortable bed in each with attached bathrooms. Ample room to move around and ample space for luggage and many racks for easy storing of personal belongings. Two rooms are with floor to ceiling doors, allowing guests to relax in the airconditioned rooms looking out to the glistening pool or in the evening, the romantically lit pool. Double curtain to block lights out. The third room is with a regular door for those needing more privacy, and it also has a sofa, which can be turned into a sofa bed. The kitchen is adequately equipped for making breakfast and light meals. In such hot weather, we literally consume gallons of water each day, and big thanks to the water dispenser which serves both cold and hot water. Ample well washed towels of different sizes provided, a must for a villa with such a nice pool. The pool is clean and big enough for swimming as well as the whole family floating and fooling around. The cleaning lady is also accommodating, when requested, she would come in later in the morning instead of very early to give us more privacy. Location wise, it’s only a 10 minutes walk to the busiest area where one can find everything from restaurants to massage parlours, to shops and supermarkets, but due to the hot and humid weather, and as a family with young children, we still find it too far to do so. But don’t be deterred by my comment, the location is really very central, very quiet and safe neighbourhood yet next to where all the actions are. I highly recommend this villa. It’s the highlight of our trip. Thanks to all the staff who helped us make us stay comfortable, and the owner and manager taking the time to answer to all my questions in details prior to our stay.

Incredible villa
We had a group of 5 stay at the villa for 6 nights and it was perfect in every way. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The villa itself was amazing, the pool is massive. It looks exactly like the pictures. Security at the end of the lane made us feel very safe, checking we are ok when being dropped off in taxis etc. We found that the villa was too far from bars/restaurants/shops to walk but we had no problems getting a driver or taxi at a very minimal cost so it didnt bother us and being located where it was made it nice and quiet at night. Cant speak highly enough, we loved the villa and will be returning in the future. Thanks again!

Stunning villa its not letting me give 5* but it really is
We have just come back from this amazing villa 5*villa and even though i have put 4* its because my phone wont allow me to click on to 5*. It looks exactly as website describes and more. The staff are outstandingly friendly and are there for your every need as are the security guards at end of road they go out of there way to get you a taxi if you need one. Out taxi driver was amazing all throughout holiday. Pool is absolutly huge and cleaned everyday as well. The staff cooks amazing food definatly got to try it. We had a 21st birthday out there and they decorated the villa again like nothing I've seen befor it was outstanding as was the birthday cake. Bedrooms all beautiful and comfy beds honestly can not fault it at all and sunshoot resturant a few min walk from the villa was fantatic as well. You can walk into the main part of seminyak as well so location brilliant as well.

Amazingly beautiful!
Just got back from a five day stay at villa Shivareva and it was just as pictured. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I contacted Ketut a couple days early as my daughter and family were arriving a day early and Ketut coordinated transport to hotel nearby then from there to the villa the next day as scheduled. Once we arrived it was nothing but kindness from everyone in the villa. We had a fresh breakfast daily which as many mentioned it’s quite a healthy serving! It was very nice of them to adjust to our schedule too, one day we told them not to worry since we had an early departure to Ubud and they just came in around 4:00 to make sure we had breakfast before leaving. Our regards to Putu who was the friendliest of all and is great with kids, even with my youngest daughter that normally doesn’t interact with strangers quickly got along with Putu. The location is excellent, had read on blogs how Seminyak was getting just as noisy as Kuta but the villa is nestled a couple blocks in from busy streets so it was very quiet and relaxing yet in walking distance to restaurants and stores. Highly recommend villa Shivareva to anyone and especially to first timers visiting Bali. My only recommendation, not necessarily tied to the villa but traveling overseas, take an extension cord with USB plugins if you’re a gadget hoarder like us. I got one on amazon at last minute and it was great not having to worry about forgetting or loosing the adapters. Thank you all for making our stay much better than expected.

Apart from a few minor things, the pictures do tell the story. Comfortable, clean and a very relaxing environment. Breakfast's were great, if not a little too much. Iluh and the rest of the staff looked after the 6 of us very well and were very happy to help however they could. The 14m pool was fantastic.Getting transport was never a problem and only short walks to Restaurants etc. Seminyak Square was about a 20 min walk or $5 by car. No hesitation in recommending this Villa and the friendly staff.

AMAZING
We have just returned from 2 weeks in this amazing villa - We went as a family of 5 and it was perfect . The position is in a perfect location situated within easy walk of busy seminyak but nice and quiet once inside the villa . We arrived after 2 long flights to be welcomed by all the staff with fresh juice waiting . Our wonderful lady arrived every morning to cook us the freshest breakfast we have ever had. Every day our villa was clesned with fresh towels to the highest standard. The pool is simply stunning and cleaned regularly. The bedrooms are all individual designed and simply stunning with outside bathrooms giving it a wonderful feel. I celebrated my 50th birthday in the villa we had a meal made by the staff which was delicious and they had decorated our room with beautiful flowers . The security at the end of the road are so polite and always smiling - which made you feel very safe knowing they was on duty 24 hours they ordered taxis for us every day and they arrived within minutes. We had a surprise engagement while we was in Bali and the staff arranged everything and went above and beyond with flowers , music and stayed to video the most perfect engagement. I can not say enough good comments about the beautiful villa , staff , food, and we honestly could not have wished for a more wonderful stay in Bali . If you are looking at booking this villa - do not hesitate .

Absolutely stunning place!
We are recently home from our 10 nights stay at Villa Shivareva in Bali. And honestly, what you see in the photo's is what you get! This villa is just gorgeous! We had 6 adults and 2 small children. My girls went in the pool at every second they could. I must make special mention to Ketut and Ray, who looked after us so well and helped us out with any needs. We also had a lovely meal prepared by the Chef David on arrival. The villa is very spacious, clean and tidy. The bathrooms are gorgeous! We felt very safe staying there as there is security at the top of the driveway who were also helpful. We found a few local restaurants within walking distance that we went to many times. Atm's, supermarkets, laundry, massages are all within walking distance also. I would definitely stay here again!

A taste of luxury tucked away from the hussle and bustle
The pictures online do the villa justice - if just a little bit care-worn now, the overall ambience is relaxed and opulent. The staff are incredibly friendly and there's an overall feeling of welcome. We practically lived in the pool (in fact I didn't actually shower for over a week), with plenty of time to relax on the couches and lounges to catch up on our reading. On a hot day, the walk to the main parts of Seminyak was a bit of ordeal, but with transport available at the end of the complex, the $4-5 charge to drive 6 of us was never an issue. We soon learned to negotiate pick up points. If anything, we found that the cooked breakfasts were too much, but they did provide some snacks for later in the day. David's "Balinese feast" for lunch was inexpensive and the leftovers fed us for the next few days. That meant fewer strolls to the Supermarket, about 10 mins away. In the end, our holiday will be remembered for a very long time, and we wouldn't hesitate to return.

Excellent Stay!
The Villa was exactly what it looks like & shows on the website. Its modern, clean, & very spacious. It's about a 5 to 7 minute walk to the main strip of Seminyak (shopping, restaurants etc...). I liked the idea that we were off the strip. The Villa was quite and you didn't feel the hustle and bustle of being in the main tourist area. There were six of us in our party and there was more than enough space for all of us. We would have enjoyed our time in Bali even if we stayed in the Villa everyday. It was that relaxing. Having security at the front of the Villa was an added bonus. The security team assisted us with our questions regarding Bali and helped in coordination of a personal car service. The house maid came every morning to straighten up the Villa (sorry we forgot the spelling of her name). She would clean and pick up around us. She was so quite in her role that you wouldn't know she was even there. She also cooked breakfast, lunch and or dinner meals for us upon request. She made the best Indonesian meals (fried rice, noodles and chicken satay) for us. Our stay was excellent and we're already talking about a return trip to Bali and booking this Villa. Thanks you Emmanuelle! Your whole staff was VERY pleasant & helpful. Tips: Don't forget to bring your power adapter if you are from the U.S. (Can be purchased locally though) Maybe even bring your own hair dryer if you need one with a high wattage. They have a hair dryer there but the hair dryer was not strong enough if you have long thick hair.

We, a family with 2 children enjoyed the stay very much. The service at the house was perfect and the villa manager assisted us promptly with any question. The in house cooking was wonderful with very good food. The house and pool were very clean and sheets and towels were changed regularly. The house is very centrally located with a well stocked supermarket within walking distance. Despite the central location there was no street noise at all. The only criticism is the pool area. The pool is clean and in good condition but the pool surround and the wooden planks already show strong weather-related signs of wear. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you Emmanuelle.

Wir waren eine Gruppe von 6 Leuten und haben die Villa für 12 Nächte angemietet. Angefangen vom Check in bis zum letzten Tag war alles super! Die Villa ist genau wie auf den Fotos abgebildet. Alles wird von den Mitarbeitern sehr sauber und ordentlich gehalten. Alle waren super freundlich und zuvorkommen! Ganz herzliche Menschen dort. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war immer super schnell und einwandfrei! Auch ein Late Check-out war kein Problem. Wir können diese Villa wirklich nur empfehlen!

Splendide
Nous avons passé 11 jours ici et nous sommes enchantés. Le temps était magnifique, quelques orages nocturnes. La villa était superbe et le personnel de maison extraordinaire. Ils n’ont eu de cesse de vouloir prendre soin de nous et c’est digne d’un 5 étoiles, le dépaysement en plus. Un grand merci à Aymi qui a pris soin de nous à la villa, elle est adorable. Un pensée toute particulière à notre Driver Ketut qui nous a fait découvrir la magie de cette île. Pour finir, un bon rétablissement à notre Manager Ketut, qui visiblement a subi quelques petits soucis de santé. Merci, un grand MERCI pour tout

Un vrai petit paradis sur l 'Ile bénie des Dieux
Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour dans la villa Shivareva ... une semaine de plus n'aurait pas été de refus!!!!Un vrai paradis ! Le personnel est aux petits soins et à l'écoute de nos besoins. Les chambres sont très agréables, propres, bien équipées avec une vue imprenable sur la piscine: les grandes baies vitrées offrent une vue exceptionnelle sur l extérieur.La maison est très bien entretenue ( jardinier,l entretien de la piscine, le ménage, la cuisine) La piscine est juste magnifique et a fait le bonheur des enfants comme des parents! Les salles de bains semi ouvertes sont spacieuses, agréables,très fonctionnelles.(douches immenses) Les tarifs pratiqués pour les petits déjeuners,préparés tous les matins à la carte,sont excellents. Nous avons eu la chance de rencontrer Emmanuelle et son mari lors de notre séjour, qui nous ont transmis de bonnes adresses de restaurants et les bons plans locaux. C'est sûr : Nous reviendrons!

Beautiful villa - will return someday
We stayed at the villa for 11 nights in March 2016. Our party consisted of 4 adults and 2 children ( a 2yo and a 4 month old) There was plenty of room in the villa for all of us and the villa was beautiful and equipped with everything we required. The pool area was just devine and the bathrooms were stunning even the gardens were beautiful. The music system in the garden was perfect for whilst we were in the pool too. Ketut the maid was just brilliant and kept the villa spotless as well as cook us a delicious breakfast everyday. Having never been to Seminyak before we didn't realise how busy the streets were and the dependency on taxis as the sidewalks are largely impassable with pushchairs this is no way a reflection of the villa but it is something to bear in mind as the location of the villa is a little isolated. Ketut also cooked us a dinner one evening which was amazing. The security outside the villas were great and they were able to organise transport to the airport and tours etc. We would definitely recommend this villa.

Thanks a lot Michelle for your review. I'm delighted you spent a so pleasant stay in my villa. Providing a beautiful villa with an excellent staff to my guests is very important for me. You could see the villa is located in a residential and quiet area, in front of a rice field, but with a walking distance from everything (3 mn from the closer restaurant or mini market, 6 mn from Oberoï with excellent restaurants, trendy bars, shops, etc...). Sorry that pavements or roads returned you the difficult life with your strollers. Pavements and roads in Bali are not maintained sometimes as well as in other western countries, but it also makes the charm of this island. All my staff really enjoyed to welcome you and take care of your familly and friends. Come back when you want, you are at home.
