Villa Melati completed with Swimming Pool, telephone, a compact stereo system with tape and CD player and car park for up to six car. A beautiful collector’s-piece ‘sakenam’ pavilion overlooking the rice-terraces, the valley, and distant volcanos is perfect for breakfast, or for just daydreaming. To reach the villa from the private car park entails a descent of 82 steps – this is what makes the setting of the house unique. No sounds from the road – only the sound of the rushing River Ayung, far below in the valley. We have added a rack-and-pinion funicular lift that carries 4-5 people, which is always available when the steps are daunting. All 5 of the villa's staff are at guests’ service throughout their stay; they are the supervisor (who is also the chef, and the housekeeper), an assistant (who also drives the van), a housemaid, a gardener, and a night watchman. A 4-6 seater minivan is based at the villa, and is available for rent by the villa's guests, either as self-drive or with a driver. (Either an INTERNATIONAL Drivers Licence from country of origin, or an ASEAN member country's licence, is required by Indonesian law). There is an IDD phone, and a fax machine, and a local connection for a laptop can be set up. There is a Safety Box in the first bedroom. Airport transfers are arranged at additional charge. As this is normally the owners’ residence, there is a beautiful 4-year-old Golden Retriever living at the villa. She is very gentle, and is looked after by the staff. It is possible to arrange for her to be taken elsewhere during a guest’s stay.

Villa Melati dining room is set beside the living room (separated by the fully-equipped kitchen). Villa Melati have an excellent cook for Indonesian, Western and other regional cuisines. For a specialty that Villa Melati can't serve yet, Villa Melati can also 'order in' food from any of the excellent restaurants in Ubud. Meals: breakfast is provided free of charge on the first morning only. Thereafter, breakfast and any other meals can be provided according to guests’ wishes, and provisions for these can be obtained by staff at guests’ expense – a shopping charge of 25% will be added to the purchase price. There is also a menu, with a variety of Indonesian selections, and some simple international dishes. Villa Melati is a 5-minute drive from the centre of Ubud village, where there is a wide choice of restaurants and other facilities.
