My wife and I decided to head to Bali for our first time to celebrate our honeymoon, and Pinggala Villa Ubud was our first stop. We knew we wanted to stay at a villa with a private pool for good value; what we experienced was a hidden gem in a peaceful home away from home. When I made the reservation, I requested a honeymoon surprise (extra cost) for my wife as well as an airport transfer, and Pinggala was able to deliver on both exceptionally. For those who have done research, you're probably able to find more affordable transport independent of the resorts, but since my wife and I had a good amount of luggage, we didn't want to take any risk and paid a ~$10 USD premium for piece of mind for a resort driver. Prior to our arrival, Restu, our driver, messaged me on WhatsApp and maintained constant communication. We easily found him, and during the 2-hr drive to Ubud, he welcomed us to Ubud and explained the culture and lifestyle of the Balinese people, and recommended top attractions around the area. He was extremely friendly and easy to talk to, and I highly requesting him if you require a driver (or tour guide) when visiting Pinggala. As for the villa itself, it is situated amongst farms and rice fields in the hills, and about a 30-min drive from the town center, depending on traffic. If you're looking for a bed-and-breakfast homey type of private villa, this is the one. It was not crowded: at most, there were 3 or 4 couples or families that I had seen in the restaurant during our stay there. The staff was extremely kind, attentive, and welcoming with smiles; the restaurant was of a humble size, but as noted from other reviews, the food quality and taste were AMAZING!! My wife and I had some food during our visits to the town center, but we felt the villa food itself was just as good or even better. We subsequently went to Jimbaran and are currently in Uluwatu, but I can say that the secluded peacefulness in Pinggala while also being within the town's reach was definitely more for us. I'd highly recommend Pinggala if this is what you're looking for.
