Thank you for the wonderful time we had. It was like living in paradise.

Pevec and family - Los Angels, California, USA (January 2006)

We came to Bali and Villa Olesha to celebrate Christmas and New Year with extreme excitement. What we found and experienced far exceeded our expectations, beautiful, serene, surreal, friendly, loving, fun are only a few words to describe what we felt. You have a treasure here and the staff you selcted created a memorably idyllic holiday for all 7 of us.

Made Sudi is irreplaceable. A gem of a gem. Extremely helpful, kind, patient, and professional. We have found a friend in him. Thank you for arranging Wayan, the cook. We overate, but loved every morsel tasted. Fantastic! The remaining staff were all wonderful and offered impeccable service. Thank you!

We do plan a return trip perhaps in dry season.

Villa OLESHA is the best !!!

Thank you all. Peace always.

Signed by all.

PS. By the way… the property is so beautiful!! Every intricate detail compliments the surroundings. We all took full advantage of everything on the land.

New Year’s eve was especially fun down at the Beach House on Echo Beach. After a delicious dinner from Wayan, this has been a truly memorable experience and we hate to leave, we need another month or two.

Thank you again, we will see you all soon.

The Sadnick family: Robert, Francesca,Allegra, Robbie & Adrian – Australia (December 2006)

What a wonderful time we have had in your glorious villa. Three wonderful weeks, one relaxing holiday. My whole family has had a great time – my husband Robert and 13 year old Robbie surfed a great deal of the time in Canggu beach. My daughters Francesca and Allegra engaged the pool area and the gardens. We have been to Bali 6 times and this is the longest we have spent on the island – a very good choice. Your staff are wonderful. They are an excellent choice and fit for the villa. We will come again.

Australians have had a difficult time in Bali lately. OLESHA restored all our love for Bali and her people. We will be back.

ROPPEL family – Zurich, Switzerland (August 2005)

Bali, one of the most beautiful places on earth! Being the first time here in Bali, the entire Roppel family; my wife Marion and our boys Florian, Tobias and Nicolas as well as my brother Guido and his wife Ruth, know that this first encounter will not be the last. Without naming concrete plans, we know that we will be back on this beautiful island, where the kitchen and the hospitality of the local people is not comparable with anywhere else in the world.

The villa Olesha is outstanding in its layout and we enjoyed the harmony between the property, houses and nature. The tasty and fine wonderful decoration makes it a respectful home, away from home.

We have been traveling all over the island for sight-seeing and scuba diving and either on the surface or under water we have been impressed with the beauty of the nature and the variety of the plants and the species. We will treasure the impressions of this special vacation in our mind and hearts forever.

Signed. (all members of the family).

Andy Lau – Hong Kong (July 2005)

As a family, we found your villa very suitable with a big pool and large garden area for kids to roam around. It is also safe for the kids to walk around (my kids are 6 & 4 years old). The tree house is a special treat to the kids. As a whole we like it very much & do plan to come back or recommend to other family.
Service is good, cook is great & we eat most of the time in the villa instead of outing.

Dugan Family - Keston UK (July 2005)

What a beautiful house! We have had a fantastic holiday in Bali. The staff have been very efficient and have looked after us very well. They played game after game with our boys. Every day Gary would find a new place to relax on all the different day-beds you have. I learnt here to cook “Balinese” style with Wayan who showed great patience with me and Alex (my eldest son).

This is the first holiday where Gary and I have totally relaxed. We were quite happy to stay in the house, which is very unusual for us. We did enjoy seeing UBUD and the volcano and some Balinese dancers too. Canggu beach is good and so close and has a good bar/restaurant.

Our only recommendation would be to have plastic glasses for use by the pool – especially when children are running around – no broken glasses. (Note: this very good suggestion has now been applied by the owner).

Thank you for a fantastic holiday in Bali. We were looked after very well. Mr. Made, the Manager, drove us everywhere too.

We look forward to coming back to stay in Olesha again.

Signed.

Renee Dugan, Gary Dugan
