hello,
we have been in Bali for 10day in July, and we had 2 location, both i would recommend, the first was Tanah Cinta Village,(the land of love) which is just the cutest place i have ever stayed, we got the green bungalow, which is a javanese wooden house, with straight pool access from its terrace, there are rice-fields and no building around us, was a fresh and breezy.
My hubby was not much into the healthy food(home-made papaya jam and cashewbutter!!!yumm), so we rented a bike from the place and got down to Ubud which was 8minutes from us, and grabed some steak.
and after that we went to Amed to a private house with four bedrooms but kinda fuction as a 4 bedroom homestay.
it has straight beach access, huge garden, and the hungarian couple was lovely who stayed there for diving.
it was more like a private house ( the bed sheets were not the official, just like every home , colors everywhere)
it called the flamboyan villa.
i wouldnt change a bit , we saw many things, had rest, was fun, met new friends!
he weather was the downfall though...rainy.(thats why both places were great, not like sitting in a hotel, but in your own home)
