Reviews of Villa Markisa Pakisan

Breakfast was delicious. We have dietary issues, ie no gluten, no dairy, no grains, and they were sincere and creative in their efforts to provide what we needed, including vegetable soup for breakfast!! We were very grateful.

The mattress was not great for us.

The nature surroundings

In the morning, the neighbour blasted a loud musics as early as 6am. I really dont mind the roosters and birds to wake up to but this, totally put me off.

I really regret not staying one more night in this beautiful paradise. I wish I booked at least one more night just to enjoy the view of the gardens by the pool and walk around by the rice terraces. Patrick and his team are wonderful. They went beyond any expectations to make our experience special and to care for us. I have a lot of food allergies and needed halal chicken and when I informed them beforehand they prepared delicious breakfast, dinners and even dessert to accommodate our diet. It is in a secluded, quiet village and is a perfect getaway for relaxation.

Nothing

We loved our stay here. The room was a good size with a comfortable bed. Bathroom was spacious. Our room overlooked the lovely pool with views out over the coast and countryside. The location was very peaceful and allowed for a good night sleep. The host Patrick was very friendly and informative. Would definitely stay again. You do need some form of transport to get around we hired one of their scooters.

We could use the kitchen but it is in need of a good clean.

Very beautiful view, quite, great service and food. Near the Sekumpul waterfall. Not many tourists around, perfect dive into the balinese culture. Patrick is the best Host, he sorts you out with anything you need.

Nothing

We stayed in Villa Markisa for 3 days. Patrick, the host, is a great guy - very helpful and knowledgeable and happy to provide local recommendations and connects with guides / drivers - all of which were well priced and spot on. The breakfast here is exceptional - it is quite a spread. While it is in a location which is slightly more difficult to get to, highly recommended for a nice stay in North Bali

Nice location of the property, but I thought it was nearer to the Sekumpul waterfall when I've made a reservation, so it was a bit of a disappointment when I couldn't walk to it in the morning. The landlord helped me to find a driver there, which is harder to do in North of Bali and also I had a good Balinese massage there by the pool. The pool is great and good to swim in it. The dinner and the breakfast were both delicious. The only minus point was the smell of the sheets (smell of dampness).

It is in nature and we liked the sounds and the solitude. The food was very delicious and the rooms were very comfortable. The mattress was great. Everybody detail was bergbeek thought of.

Peaceful, beautiful, excellent communication from Patrick, lovely gardens and gorgeous pool. The rural area and friendly people made it an oasis of calm after the noise of the south. We will be back!

Great breakfast, dinner even better - probably the Best food i had tried in my 2 months trip. Very good. Amazing host Patrick and the rest of the staff. Especially, Monica - my future wife :) Highly recommend this place!

The most unique tropical and true surrounding if Bali. Peaceful and calming. The dinner was exceptional traditional Balinese food, can't fault it.

Possibly offering lunch would be lovely. Otherwise there are no faults as the staff always tried to make sure you were looked after.

The villa is located in a remote area and offers beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and the rice fields. Breakfast and dinner is offered at the villa which is good as there is no place to eat in proximity. Best feature of this place is the garden and the pool. The garden is amazing with different species of tropical trees and plants. If you want to see a different side of Bali, then Marchisa can be an option. Overall positive experience.

Poor hygiene. We stayed in the room next to the pool and there was a constant bad smell coming from the drainage. The sheet had a stain of blood. Please do not say is Bali and we should accept everything in terms of hygiene. The walls need repainting in that room. Very difficult to communicate as staff speaks little or no English. It could be a beautiful place but I think staff lacks direction. Hopefully the review will help improving quality overall.

Beautiful and remote scenery and good value for the money

The room itself was quite dark, was not too clean and smelled bad. There’s no A/C, but the fan in the room does the job. The communication was also lacking a bit, but overall, for the price, you still get a good value for the surroundigs

Patrick, the host is welcoming and engaging with guests. He showed me the wonderful natural food jungle surrounding the villa, and explained the production of the local palm alcohol. Patrick and his staff genuinely enjoy assisting and communicating with their guests. The French crepes and local fruits for breakfast are delicious. And dinner at the Villa is always delicious. I was without my own transport, so Patrick helped me organise day trips to the waterfalls and lake batur, and to another village where craftsmen make the instruments for gamellan performances. There's also plenty of opportunities to relax by the pool or have a wonderfully relaxing massage from the masseuse who attends the Villa on request. The local village is a pleasant 20 -30 minute walk, depending on the route. The local villagers are friendly and helpful. There are not many tourists in this area yet...enjoy it while you can! I spent 3.5 weeks at Villa Markisa and will be back again. The bed and pillows are the most comfortable I've experienced in my 5 months in Bali. I had the double room with fan, no aircon and it was perfect for temperature control and ventilation. The triple rooms have air-conditioning. I was also doing a lot of online study and the wifi was fast and reliable.

Not a problem, but just for information. You are in a rural area, so dogs barking and roosters crowing is to be expected. The sounds of nature are all around.

Patrick was an amazing host! Breakfast and dinner were cooked by his talented chef and was always a delicious delight. The pool was right beside our room which felt like we had it all to ourselves surrounded by such beautiful nature. Bonus was the super cute kitten. I will be returning in January with my close friends – can't wait!

Such an amazing vibe and a true Balinese experience, surrounded by rice fields and jungle. The best place we stayed in Bali so far.

I could say getting there it is quite hard but it is just so worth it.

It’s a lost, untamed paradise. It’s peaceful and serene. The setting is surreal, beauty surrounds you and extends as far as your eye can see. It’s clean and comfortable and feels like home. The fruit and food is delicious. Patrick the owner is the perfect host. He is friendly and attentive and his passion for the village, the people and children is admirable. Patrick graciously took me for a walk in the jungle and explored the village. His genuine love and appreciation of his villa and the beauty of nature is heartwarming! I extended my stay for one more night, I just did not want to leave!

There was nothing I didn’t like!

I recently stayed at one of Patrick’s rooms and had an exceptional experience. The room was comfortable and well-equipped with everything we needed. The hospitality was impeccable—Patrick is a wonderful host who is always ready to assist with any questions you might have. I highly recommend this destination for anyone looking to discover an authentic Bali experience. Patrick’s home is nestled in a beautiful small valley, offering stunning views at sunrise. If you want to experience the true essence of Bali, this is the place to be.

After +20 years of travel experience as independent traveler and +15 years experience as hotel manager, this is doubtless one of the best accomodations I have ever been to. I mainly would highlight the professionality of Patrick, the person in charge, truly focused on guest satisfaction. The place has it all, the standard of service, cleanliness, maintenance, gardening, activities, room comfort, remote working facilities, food, breakfast is just unbeatable, hard to find not only in Bali, but anywhere in the world for these rates. I know how hard you have to work to keep it up, so I just must show my respect and say "Congratulations Villa Markisa Pakisan team"
