as far as I know is the closest place to town that is not a homestay & is probably the easiest walk into town.It's a tranquil retreat for us in Ubud.
We have stayed here many times & we all love the place.I personally prefer the superior rooms to the deluxe rooms for many reasons but mainly because I think they have nicer bathrooms.In the superior rooms you get a beautiful indoor /outdoor bathroom with a sunken marble bath.You also have a fully private enclosed courtyard with a lockable door.The rooms are a decent size & we have easily fitted our teenage son in with us.You have fridge,TV & Air con in the room.The verandah also has lighting ,table & chairs & a wooden lounge - great place for relaxing with a drink & nibbles.The superior rooms are closer to the front of the property ( no street noise audible though)& are downstairs - so no steep steps to climb like the deluxe rooms out the back.
A full breakfast is included in the price ,the gardens are very well maintained,safes available in reception area,the pool area been renovated & the staff are very friendly.
Strongly recommend you do your own booking through the Ubud Village.You get a way better rate that way.They give good walk in rates if you bargain with them & you get even better rates if you contact them before.Since we have been going there for some time now we get a good rate. If you want to email me I can give you contact details of a couple of the staff I know & you will get a better than the advertised rate.BTW - I get no commission from them - they just promised to give friends or forumites a good rate!
I suggest you have a look at Mic's site - she has lot of info & photos of the Ubud Village.
