Mahagiri Villas Sanur

After a long journey from Gili T we arrived in the evening and having turned off from the usual chaos of Balinese traffic down a dimly lit street...we found ourselves in a utterly delightful oasis of calm. A lovely warm welcome as we checked in. As a family of four, the villa was perfect for us. A pool large enough to swim in, a covered outdoor 'day bed' and two loungers, a huge kitchen/diner/lounge with bi-fold doors to completely open it up and two excellent rooms (large comfy beds, plentiful storage areas, large bathrooms and outdoor showers). Little touches such as cold/hot water tanks, quality teas and coffee etc. were a bonus. There were complimentary massages which were excellent and free bike hire - not the best condition but still fun. The villa was very quiet and you'd have no idea that you were just minutes from the centre of Sanur. The location was perfect for us. An easy 10 minutes walk (using cut throughs) to the main road with dozens of excellent bars and restaurants. Breakfast was wonderful. Good surroundings with very attentive service and an extensive, varied menu. We tried loads of different things between us and every dish was great. Overall, we loved our stay here. We would have stayed longer if we could have done. Wonderful villa, great food, lovely staff and ideal location. Minor suggestions: Two loungers between four people (not that we lounge a lot) - extra seats would be useful. It rained heavily one night and one lounger had a split and became a giant sponge - this meant you couldn't sit/lay on it. We asked for a replacement but were told there was no manager to authorise that... Teas not topped up over the five days (4 of us over 5 nights). Went to bed early on our final night ahead of a 32 hour journey home but were woken by a call at 11pm from reception to ask if we were checking out the next day....earlier would have been good. Suksma!
