The property is simply AMAZING, located 15 minutes from ubud center (there is a free shuttle available though!) in a lush green neighborhood that feels like you’re in the jungle. Beautifully designed, sparkling clean and with the nicest staff team ever. We enjoyed our time at LeRosa so so much and we enjoyed every day and night in this stunning villa. The (floating) breakfast is exceptional, the views are unbeatable and again - the staff is so so friendly. Really good good options in their own restaurant too! They really went above and beyond for our comfort and even prepared little parting gifts. Thank you very much for having us, we had the best time. 100% recommended to stay here, great value for the price!!

    The setting at Arma is simply stunning. Huge tropical gardens and the added bonus of a river and an art gallery. We stayed in the ‘family’ villa which is actually two adjoining 1 bedroom villas with a private pool, and the rooms were phenomenally luxurious and beautiful. It was like a private slice of jungle paradise, but just within walking distance of great restaurants and the monkey forest
