We had a wonderful holiday at Villa Puri Darma Agung
It has been beautiful, quite and relaxing. The food prepared for us was very good and everyone very welcoming, friendly and helpful.
Ubud and the surrounding area have been an amazing experience and would recommend climbing the Volcano to watch the sun rise over the beautiful island of Bali.

The Villa is absolutely beautiful, such a treat to stay here! The staff are very welcoming and friendly
and always on hand when you need them. Everything is very clean and tidy.
The food was Delicious! A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY ! ! !

Dear Barry

We appreciate the hospitality and excellent service we have experienced in our 3 day stay at Puri Darma Agung.
More than anything else is the peace and tranquility of the place situated amidst the green rice fields.
We are now better equipped to face the world as this has given us enough spiritual energy to last for some time.
We admire your lovely approach to life.

Beautiful settings and well appointed – amazing garden design. A beautiful reflection of Bali life and surrounded by rice paddy's. Dinner was tasty, ambience wonderful, would be nice to have Balinese breakfast options would appreciate more interesting bread rather than super market style.
Re bonus:- gift of the place is the quite and away from the hustle and bustle of Ubud.
The walk amongst the rice paddy fields was great
Great selection of sitting areas to read/relax in the garden.
Beds very comfortable, very nice linen.
Bathroom great, more toiletry selection would be nice
Staff all delightful, helpful, fun and very respectful of our space, yet always there when needed
Place very clean and comfortable – very relaxing.

What a fantastic stay we had. The Villa is superb,staff couldn't help us enough without being intrusive.
We will remember our honeymoon forever. Barry really is a fantastic host, incredibly obliging, and very informative about the area. Ayu is the best chef in Bali.

Thank you again for a beautiful stay.

We stayed with a family with young children and my mother-in-law at the villa in Jan 2011 and, although the weather was mixed, we sincerely enjoyed our stay there (each and every generation!). This not least thanks to the sincere efforts of Kadek and his team (Ayu: Great Chef, Eka: Great Attitude, Komang: Great Gardener and local driver, Made: the other Great Driver) in making our stay a near perfect one.

When my husband and I were driven through the rice paddies and arrived at this beautiful villa we were treated to a true Balinese welcome.

The spacious living pavillion which opens onto a beautiful garden and jacuzzi is simply stunning. The accomodation is perfect - The bedrooms are spacious, luxurious and beautifully decorated - The bathroom which is partly open air is amazing. It has a large bathtub surrounded by tropical plants...Bliss. We were thrilled with the service of all staff, very attentive without being intrusive - in particular our chef Ayu was fabulous - the food could not be faulted. A very memorable and enjoyable holiday - we hope to return soon.

This private pair of villas with access to a huge common entertainment/relaxation area, including infinity pool and separate daybed retreat, comes with the friendliest staff you can imagine.

It is located about 10-15 mins. from the centre of Ubud with access to the town's bustling shopping and numerous excellent eating spots. It is situated in beautiful ricefields and provides a wonderful peaceful atmosphere. You can relax and read or lie lizard-like in the sun all day, before venturing into town for some shopping or dinner.

Dear Barry & staff,

Our experience was beyond our expectations, from
the kind and attentive staff to the beautiful villa you
have created.

The photos on your website do not do it justice, then again it is difficult to capture such beauty and serenity. Our last night coincided with my birthday – what a feast!

My partner Jamie and I thank the staff at Puri Darma Agung and hope that we will be back soon.

We’ve had a very relaxing time here and the staff have been wonderful – attentive, responsive to our wishes, and helpful.


Our arrival here was very late last Friday (the driver got delayed, and could not find the villa). Kadek and Ayu came part of the way by scooter and directed the driver here, and then welcomed us even though it was almost midnight.

We are vegetarian and Ayu has gone out of her way to prepare us suitable food, which has been delicious.

All staff have been most courteous and caring. We came here to relax and the staff have made that very easy.

The facilities, design, layout and quality of the villa are first class.

Thank you for a great holiday.

Dear Barry & staff,

We have spent a wonderful break at your beautiful villa.

The staff have been excellent; most friendly and hospitable. Nothing was a problem for them. The weather was poor early – lots of rain – but it did not dampen staff (or guest!) spirits.

It is a little distance to Ubud, but we appreciated the “transport”, and the quiet of the rice fields habitat. I can’t imagine you “sharing” such a place with us strangers!

Our only suggestion would be to have a proper Visitors Book to write these notes in.

Best wishes,

We had a splendid time luxuriating here at Villa Puri
Darma Agung, what a special place. I am tempted not
to recommend a stay here because it was such a lucky
find! Your staff are attentive without being intrusive, perfect service!

We loved being at Villa Puri Darma Agung, it is a gloriously peaceful place, in a tranquil garden setting with amazing rice fields around it.

We were most impressed with the fabulous attention to detail. the staff are truly excellent and made our stay even better: they began to feel like family - Ayu with her excellent cooking, Made a great driver, Kadek, Komang and the security guys (even though we scarcely saw them we appreciated them!)

We will long remember this marvelous Christmas
holiday and hope to return.

Overall, a fabulous place to stay, relax and learn
about Bali.
