Where do we start with how wonderful our stay was! We brought our two daughters and future son in law with us. The staff was so warm and wonderful. Erick, Yudha, Summer were all so great. Wayan was also very sweet and helpful. Her banana pancakes were awesome. Made was an amazing cook. All the food he made us turned out incredible. Santi was very helpful, kind and on top of all of our needs. It was an incredible place to spend 15 days for our 30th wedding anniversary. Bali and Villa Jemma will hold a very special place in our hearts. We hope to return to Villa Jemma again. Thanks Made for the cooking instruction, can’t wait to get home and make nasi goreng!

We would like to thank the entire staff at Villa Jemma for making us feel at home in Bali. The team were able to assist us with everything we asked for from currency exchange to restaurant reservations, and everything in between. Meals were always a treat and it was nice to have some home cooked Balinese cuisine. Hopefully we get to visit again soon. Thank you.

To all the beautiful people that took care of us at Villa Jemma, thank you so much for your amazing hospitality, kindness and a few interesting conversations, alongside some good laughs. Without you guys, it's difficult to imagine a trip that would be at all similar in Bali. The villa constantly felt like home, it was always clean and well prepared for our crazy family, and it did not feel like we were at all being intruded on. Wishing you all the best.

Thank you for an absolutely incredible holiday. Villa Jemma is a gorgeous oasis and like a little heaven, which was so lovely to come back in everyday and to wake up in everyday. It really is so tranquil and calming. We loved the pool, loungers and stunning tropical garden. Not to mention the delicious food we were treated with daily. We have been very spoiled by the wonderful staff, very impressed by Eric's hospitality and magic tricks. We will recommended to our New Zealand friends and family. Thank you Villa Jemma for a superb stay. We've enjoyed this wonderful oasis.

The villa itself is beautiful too and perfect for a family group like ours. Our kids spent hours in the pool and our two girls even learnt to swim.

A very perfect few days, thank you. The villa is so peaceful and serene and yet only minutes from the hustle of Seminyak and the beach. We have loved the space in the villa - space to relax, study, read, think and sleep. The food has been great, and the staff so attentive and helpful. We loved having coffee at La Luciola, it has a great view of the beach and is quite. Fantastic dinner at Da Maria, good Italian food and good Indian cuisine dinner at Chai Ba. Otherwise we enjoyed the ease and luxury of meals in the villa. It is been a great week. Wish we didn't have to return to Jakarta. Time for one more swim before going back to the airport.

We celebrated our Dad's 76th birthday with a trip to Bali and it was also our parent's first visit to Bali. We are so happy that we choose Villa Jemma as our holiday villa because it felt like home for the one week. The staff were friendly and warm and very hospitable. They were helpful, hard working and very clean. Chef Made made or cooked us the most delicious food and thanks to him, we did not have to worry about not getting enough Bali home cooked food to try or eat. Want to say a big thank you to everyone here, and hope we see you again soon.
