This was the second time we stayed here. We still love it here and we would come back again.

It is a nice private villa and the staff is amazing.
The house has a great pool and comfort rooms with a fantastic bathroom.

Moreover, the villa is perfect located when you want to go snorkling and diving. We went to menjangan island and had an amazing experience.

Oh my Goodness , I don’t even know where to begin writing a review for this beautiful villa, and
I’ve been remiss because of that dilemma.
Fellow traveller, this is an amazing villa. Searching for a special place to stay in the north, after
plenty of stays in the south, I came across Villa Beten Bukit. At first, I honestly thought, it’s too
good to be true, but WOW, it’s exactly what we want.
From my initial contact with Lisettte she was immediately responsive and informative, offering me a
very fair rental price, and I booked directly with her, which was super easy. During our email
exchanges, It was obvious that Villa Beten Bukit is special because it is not just Lisette’s pride and
joy, it’s also her passion and her 2nd home. she even organised scooters for us which were waiting
when we arrived at the villa. It was an unexpected treat that Lisette came to meet us in Legian,
with her driver Ketut. He was unbelievable, getting us up to Pemuteran in super heavy traffic (and
also back to the airport a week later ! ).
Arriving in the villa was a delight. We were greeted by Putu, who was very excited to show us the
property, which is so much more beautiful than any photograph can capture. The gardens there are
truly lovely, with so many birds…..like, so many! From the masses of tiny swallows who come
each morning and afternoon to take a sneaky bath in the swimming pool to the lovely little water
birds who hop across the water lily pads, it’s all paradise times a kazillion.
Lisette arranged for Illuh to prepare a meal for us as we were coming in the late afternoon, and it
was the perfect welcome. Illuh is a very caring and gentle person, cleaning and cooking in the
most unassuming and mindful way. Her food is delicious, fresh and simply prepared, and she is so
happy to be able to please you. Even the way she laundered and carefully folded our clothes was
so beautiful!
Putu also cooked for us, going out early to the local market to buy us a fabulous fresh fish, which
he barbecued to perfection, a must have meal while you are there. He is very helpful, and just a
phone call away, being very unobtrusive.
The Villa itself was much more than we needed, just my husband and I, so we only used the 1st
bedroom,which was very comfortable, a huge bed, with a mosquito net, and plenty of hanging/shelf
space for our clothes. The ensuite bathroom was great too, open to the stars, but spotlessly clean
and private, as is the entire villa.
You’ll be spoiled for choice (like me) where should you lie down to read a book, or the news on
your phone, or even to take a sneaky nap? Whatever you’re after, it’s all here, lounges, chairs, day
beds, umbrellas, absolutely everything, everything. And don’t get me started on the pool, let’s leave
it at when you get in, you wont want to get out.
Hanging by the front door there are 4 KOSHI WINDCHIMES (http://koshi.fr/). i researched them
once i returned home because they are the most delightful chimes I’ve ever heard. Although they
are a small detail, i think they’re a significant one, because just like this entire villa, they are
understated perfection.
Thank you Lisette for your generous hospitality, and congratulations on creating this impressive
sanctuary, I just hope I will have the chance to return.

We spent three fantastic days in this quiet villa in Pemuteran. The house is incredible, the garden immense, with many places inviting relaxation … Cleanliness impeccable, frangipani flowers everywhere on arrival, a very efficient and smiling staff, led by Putu who will answer to Your requests. Probably the most beautiful villa we have ever rented, hoping to come back one day! Very good communication upstream with Lisette, the owner. If you are looking for a villa to enjoy the wonders of Menjangan, do not hesitate, you will not be disappointed! Anthony

Lisette , just want to let you know that we have a wonderful time staying at your villa. Everything is perfect, quiet, peaceful, spacious and we love having a kitchen that allows us to make coffee first thing in the morning. I wake up at 04:30 every morning, having my first cup of coffee and listening to birds singing and watching the hill behind the house is a lovely way to start my morning. Putu and Iluh are both very attentive. Thank you for the opportunity and Ming our poodle enjoy it also;we will come back for sure.

Last February we spend two weeks in your villa Beten Bukt in Pemuteran. What a place!

We must say, that this stay was really a magnificent experience for us. The lie of the house, the staff and the other people, the surroundings, the service, the weather, everything was above our expectation. We already dream of a next visit and we sure have more books to complete your library.

We appreciate your efforts for the local people in the Pemuteran Foundation, a schoolbus is a very nice purpose and we have seen that it is necessary.

Lisette, thank you for having us.

Villa Beten Bukit was a perfect place for our family to spend the New Year’s holiday. Our toddler boy learned to swim in the huge swimming pool within three days! We loved the pool so much we swam at least twice a day! The pool is surrounded by a beautiful tranquil garden full of birds chirping in the morning. Iluh, the housekeeper, makes wonderful breakfasts and other meals. We stayed for 8 days so it would have been even better if she could come up with something more creative for the breakfast.  The villa is really close to the beach where you can just chill or even snorkel, the dock for snorkeling trip at Pulau Menjangan is reachable in 30 min drive. I do recommend the snorkeling trip to Pulau Menjangan. Coral bleeching is definitely happening, but there are tons of variety of fish and some corals are still quite colorful. One more tip, pls do bring mosquito repellant with DEET, especially in rain season. We didn’t get bitten by mosquitoes but something else. Still it didn’t ruin our beautiful memory at this villa. Thank you Lisette for letting us stay!

We stayed in this gorgeous house in Pemuteran for 3 wonderful nights. The owner, Lisette, was an excellent communicator and had things very organized when we arrived at the house. The staff was friendly and attentive, but not intrusive. The woman who cooked breakfast was efficient and made delicious breakfast food for our family. The house is very clean and tidy with absolutely amazing gardens and grounds. The views of the moutains just can not be beat. We spent one afternoon just climbing the mountain, which is right behind the house, with the kids. We had friends who stayed in one of the beachside hotels and honestly, this house was just so much better. Lisette helped us organize a great snorkeling trip to Menjagan as well and there is a very handy book with lots of recommendations of restaurants and activities in the area.  We highly recommend this house and hope to go back (as we live in Bali and plan to visit the North coast often).

Stayed in this beautiful villa during 1st wk Aug 2016. Perfect location as this part of Bali does not receive herds of tourists that you find in the south. Having Menjangan Island within the hour and Pemuteran Beaches at 900 mtr this place is a perfect location for those who like diving or snorkeling. House comes fully equipped and fully serviced. Situated on a large plot, this place will unwind even the busiest persons. For those who love to keep control, the WiFi will enable you to keep track of what happens abroad.
