The Villa Sabandari is a great place to stay in what is now becoming very busy Ubud. We stayed 2 nights.
The Villa is located about an easy 10 minute walk from the main Ubud centre, but there is a driver available any time you want to drop you in town or almost anywhere. This type of service is rare and was much appreciated. We used it quite a few times.
Our room was a ground floor villa overlooking the pool and ricefields and was just like the website photos. Comfortable bed, huge outdoor shower, the usual amenities, inroom safe, wifi , and perfect for relaxing no TV.
Although the shower was outside we didn't have any issue with bugs eating us and privacy wasn't an issue either.
Breakfast is served to you wherever you like.
We ate breakfast on our terrace each morning and enjoyed juice, museli and yoghurt, a different hot meal each day, and pastries, together with hot tea and coffee.
Afteroon tea is also provided from 4 to 5pm, which we enjoyed, and a free 15 minute massage was also offered although we sadly ran out of time to enjoy it.
We booked a driver to take us out for the day and used the free driver to drop us off at places within Ubud town. Dirk was happy to help arrange anything we needed and to provide advice on what to see. There's also a box full of information, walks, restaurants etc in the room which we used.
We really enjoyed our time at Villa Sabandari. It was so quiet and peaceful in a unique setting.
