Madani Antique Villas

We booked to stay in a villa and upgraded to the private villa. The room and private pool were fantastic and the service was incredible. You take a scooter to get to your room and it feels very private and tucked away. Ubud is only 15-20 minute drive away and it is close to all the sights you could want to see. The staff were so lovely and accomodating, singing happy birthday to my partner.

This is the most beautiful villa I stayed in Ubud. When we arrived, we were greeted by Kirana with the most beautiful smile ever. She was so friendly and helpful. Staff dropped our luggage in the villa while we had a welcome drink. Our first view off the villa was astounding. The infinity pool and the view was very nice. The villa was made out of traditional dark wood with an outdoor bath and shower covered in tropical plants. The breakfast en food from the menu where of great quality. We ordered roomservice by WhatsApp en service was fast. In many reviews, people say that service was good, but in Madina Vila, service is excellent! (Thank you Kirana) Out stay in Madina made our holiday complete.

We first stayed at Madani Antique Villas in March 2023 and enjoyed it so much we've just arrived home from our second visit (we stayed 5 nights the first visit and 8 nights this second visit). From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in the serene and ambiance of this quaint hidden gem. The villas are ideally situated just a short distance from Ubud’s center, offering a peaceful retreat while still being accessible to restaurants, cafes and attractions (there are a number of eateries in walking distance but I'd recommend a scooter if you intend on visiting Ubud Centre and other attractions further away). The natural surroundings are breathtaking, with rice terraces and tropical greenery creating a picturesque backdrop (although if you want to stay whilst the rice terraces are at their peak, do your research for which time of year to visit). The villas themselves are of traditional Balinese charm with antique furnishings, adding a unique and authentic touch. We loved our private pool as well. The onsite restaurant - Nusandari Cafe - was built between our first and second visit so we were pleased to enjoy coffee, Bintang and cocktails here a few times during our second visit (they do an excellent strong latte which pleased me greatly because I have high Australian coffee standards!). The service at Madani was exceptional - the staff were incredibly warm, attentive, and dedicated to ensuring an enjoyable stay. They use WhatsApp to communicate with guests which we personally love. It makes it easy and efficient to ask questions, organise scooter hire, airport transfers and breakfast selections. Yuni is a national treasure - we miss her already and look forward to seeing her and the team again!

Staff is Lovely and always available. Bed is very comfortable. Very clean. There is a restaurant at the same location. Service is also fantastic. Would recommend this villa if you want to sleep in a quiet place with a beautiful vue still near facilities. Also, air conditioning is really efficient and the pool is refreshing with the hot weather.

We were surprised to find a lot of positive reviews about the property. We arrived at the villa, a small community with four villas surrounded by a fence with barbed wire! The view of your villa and sitting area (inside the villa, there is no place to sit, there is only enough bed space) is one meter from the barbed wire! It looks like you are in prison. The pictures show a good view and good-looking facilities are maybe it's true, but the manager told us the view from the pictures is in another location. She explained to us that we booked only a villa with a bad, and they are not responsible for providing us with facilities and good view as per the pictures! My questions: if the pictures are of two locations, how is it allowed to use two locations as one property? When we are booking, we are expecting to see the view and facilities as per the pictures as well. We would like to enjoy our vacation, not to get the feeling of being in prison. This is our second time in Bali. We are exploring the island with plans to stay for two to three nights in different locations. This is the first time we’ve had a bad experience. There are actually a lot of villas with good views for the same price or even cheaper. The location is about a 14-minute bike ride from the center of Ubud. There are no shops nearby, so it’s a quiet village. We canceled the booking and left, but they charged us for one night. I'm so upset that I dint do pictures of reality.
