Jacob,
I just wanted to email you and let you know we had a fantastic time at your Bali Villa. Villa Olesha is breath-takingly beautiful and your staff is one of a kind. We have ZERO complaints, everything was perfect! We actually want to come back this summer. Mr. Made said you willbe staying there for 6 months starting this summer so I was wondering when exactly you were coming so we could plan our trip before you get there.

It is so hard to express to you how much we enjoyed our visit here at Villa Olesha.
First of all, your house is extremely beautiful, the time and energy put into building and decorating this fantastic villa has “shined” through. Your staff is “first class”, the food was amazing and their attention to details incredible. The grounds are so well manicured and we just sat and dazed at them for hours.
This holiday was very special for us. We flew our family from the United States to vacation with us. We are American and currently live in China. So we decided to stay at Villa Olesha for this year’s Chinese New Year. We have three kids: a 4 yr, 2 yr and a 2-month old. This trip was so special because our family, from the States, were able to meet our new-born baby-girl for the first time.
We also invited another family from China to vacation with us, who have two kids. Your house was perfect for all of us. The kids enjoyed it as much as the adults. The short walk to the beach was perfect and we played there everyday.
This trip was perfect and we just wanted to thank you for letting us enjoy your beautiful home. We will be back. Hopefully we can meet in person one day.
With much love,

PS,
We would like to thank you for the privilege of sharing your lovely Villa with us. Villa Olesha is by far the most extraordinary paradise we have experienced. Your staff First Class. We do want you to know that they made us feel pampered and special. Thank you so much. We will be back.
Our love.

We had a very enjoyable time here, mainly myself as I stayed longer. Your garden is a dream. Pak Made, your Manager, took very good care of us all.
Flowers and plants are so wonderful wherever you look around. Your staff; Wayan, Gede, Nyoman and Komang had been helpful and nice. Wayan cooks delicious food. Gede helping her also made the lunches and dinners extremely enjoyable, along iwht the help of Nyoman and Coman.
Hope we can meet again, next time we come to Bali.

What a wonderful time we have had in your glorious villa. Three wonderful weeks, one relaxing holiday. My whole family has had a great time – my husband Robert and 13 year old Robbie surfed a great deal of the time in Canggu beach. My daughters Francesca and Allegra engaged the pool area and the gardens. We have been to bali 6 times and this is the longest we have spent on the island – a very good choice. Your staff are wonderful. They are an excellent choice and fit for the villa. We will come again.
Australians have had a difficult time in Bali lately. OLESHA restored all our love for Bali and her people. We will be back.

Dear Jacob and Anne,
We came to Bali and Villa Olesha to celebrate Christmas and New Year with extreme excitement. What we found and experienced far exceeded our expectations, beautiful, serene, surreal, friendly, loving, fun are only a few words to describe what we felt. You have a treasure here and the staff you selcted created a memorably idyllic holiday for all 7 of us.
Made Sudi is irreplaceable. A gem of a gem. Extremely helpful, kind, patient, and professional. We have found a friend in him. Thank you for arranging Wayan, the cook. We overate, but loved every morsel tasted. Fantastic! The remaining staff were all wonderful and offered impeccable service. Thank you!
We do plan a return trip perhaps in dry season.
Villa OLESHA is the best !!!
Thank you all. Peace always.
Signed by all.
PS. By the way… the property is so beautiful!! Every intricate detail compliments the surroundings. We all took full advantage of everything on the land.
New Year’s eve was especially fun down at the Beach House on Echo Beach. After a delicious dinner from Wayan, this has been a truly memorable experience and we hate to leave, we need another month or two.
Thank you again, we will see you all soon.

Bali, one of the most beautiful places on earth! Being the first time here in Bali, the entire Roppel family; my wife Marion and our boys Florian, Tobias and Nicolas as well as my brother Guido and his wife Ruth, know that this first encounter will not be the last. Without naming concrete plans, we know that we will be back on this beautiful island, where the kitchen and the hospitality of the local people is not comparable with anywhere else in the world.
The villa Olesha is outstanding in its layout and we enjoyed the harmony between the property, houses and nature. The tasty and fine wonderful decoration makes it a respectful home, away from home.
We have been traveling all over the island for sight-seeing and scuba diving and either on the surface or under water we have been impressed with the beauty of the nature and the variety of the plants and the species. We will treasure the impressions of this special vacation in our mind and hearts for ever.

Hi Jacob,
As a family, we found your villa very suitable with a big pool and large garden area for kids to roam around. It is also safe for the kids to walk around (my kids are 6 & 4 years old). The tree house is a special treat to the kids. As a whole we like it very much & do plan to come back or recommend to other family.
Service is good, cook is great & we eat most of the time in the villa instead of outing.
See you in future

What a beautiful house! We have had a fantastic holiday in Bali. The staff have been very efficient and have looked after us very well. They played game after game with our boys. Every day Gary would find a new place to relax on all the different day-beds you have. I learnt here to cook “Balinese” style with Wayan who showed great patience with me and Alex (my eldest son).
This is the first holiday where Gary and I have totally relaxed. We were quite happy to stay in the house, which is very unusual for us. We did enjoy seeing UBUD and the volcano and some Balinese dancers too. Canggu beach is good and so close and has a good bar/restaurant.
Our only recommendation would be to have plastic glasses for use by the pool – especially when children are running around – no broken glasses. (Note: this very good suggestion has now been applied by the owner).
Thank you for a fantastic holiday in Bali. We were looked after very well. Mr. Made, the Manager, drove us everywhere too.
We look forward to coming back to stay in Olesha again.
