Villa Neshama

It's calm and peaceful

The owner (Maria) was spectacularly helpful. I arrived late and hadn't organised dinner and Maria made magic happen via the Grab app. The rest of the staff are solid gold too. Everyone from the security guy to the housekeeper were just so bloody wonderful that I felt bad leaving! The communal lounge room is spacious enough to support many people without tripping over each other, the pool was divine and there's a gym/yoga studio that you just wouldn't expect to see. A selling point for me was that there were a couple of digital nomads who were living and working there for 2 months. They'd have breakfast, go for a swim, log onto the wifi and earn a living. I would come back in a heartbeat.

Villa Neshama is a beautiful location in a quiet part of Canggu, with the centre of Canggu with shops and restaurants within vert short travel distance by cab or scooter. The owner paid attention to details and integration with natural elements when designing the compound. There is a spacious yoga exercise area, a large swimming pool and a pond with quiet ducks and fish. The rooms are well designed and equipped and kept clean. The living room has confortable couches, plenty of entertainment equipment (tv, audio, playstation, books) and drinking water supply. Breakfast is served there by a cook, who was very friendly to us.

Overall: Amazing host and friendly staff, cleaning every day, beautiful territory, very quite and calm. Room: spacious, comfortable bed and pillows, canopy which protects from mosquitoes, big fridge. There is a table which is big enough for the laptop, and what was important for me - a safe which is big enough to put Macbook pro 16'. We were worrying about insects, especially spiders. But we met just ants (you should be ready for this). Maybe there are no spiders because there are a lot of geckos and those little cuties protect from spiders. Territory: clean swimming pool, sound of river, zero sound from cars, a lot of plants. Also there are cute friendly animals who became our friends: Belka dog, Tortik cat, and two ducks Momo and Mimi. There is also a place for sports with boxing gloves, punching bag, and a place for yoga with gong. The host invited a professional master of sound who managed a meditation session with the gong and a lot of other unusual music instruments. That was an interesting experience. Comfortable parking for bikes. Also while we were here they completed the new kitchen and now we have breakfasts every day. Which is a time-saver for us so that we can eat and go exploring the island.

I found the staff at Villa Neshama to be very kind and helpful. laundry was nicely organised for me when I enquired about it. really can’t state just how nice everybody was
