Villa Semana.. what a surprise!

* This post is way overdued.. but hey! Better late than never with regards to recommending good deals!

Yeah girls, as you can see from the above picture, I recently won the top prize in a lucky draw! And to my surprise, it was a complimentary stay in Villa Semana in Ubud-Bali! The girlies and myself were pretty burned out from the New York trip ( FFF week 2013 ) Although it seemed like a holiday but it wasnt! IT WAS A VERY intense trip for us as we were literally working every day! And when we got back, there were so much to follow up on and we are really tired out. Honestly,we were so burned out with backlog, new prjects and new challanges, we were desperate to get out for some 'zen out' sessions. The voucher was definitely god sent! my girls squealed with excitement when we found out tt we could FINALLY take a breather!

 (Do we look alike? This is my elder sis and yeah, I treated her to Bali for her early birthday present..)

Finally after 2.5 hours flight and a good 1.5 hours on the road, we finally reached our villa! The villa didnt disappoint us. They were awarded 'Certificate of Excellence' in 2013, and I believe 2012 and 2011 for Tripadvisor.com as well! We were so fortunate! The staffs were uber friendly and professional and they spoke good english. We were immediately ushered to our villa without needed to check in at the reception area. In fact, there is no reception area at all! The staffs actually went to our room, prepared some refreshements, light bites and fruits and did our paper work in the villa! WOW! this is what I call top-notch service. Really~ impressive.

 It felt good to see my name in the card with the flower arrangements. It made me feel really special.

 Kum Pai!! Cheers to friendship and sister-hood! Freshly squeezed orange with passionfruit juice. Yummsy~~

 Do I need to say more! Private POOL!

 Our breakfast was manificent too! Thinking it was the usual buffet style breakfast, we were initially not too keen in the breakkie. But again, we were pleasantly surprised! The breakfast were all freshly made and BEST part, all are organic. Freshest pick of the day, juiciest fruit they can find! The organic tomatoes tasted sweeter, the bread were fluffier. Slups... oh.. I am already thinking of my fluffy pancakes now...

The owner Jurg was fantastic as well! Told us alot of amazing stories and we had so much fun! ( he lives in Singapore and mind you, he knows much more about Singapore than you think!) He recommended us to eat Babi Goreng (yummilicious!!) and Bebek (duck.. ) whao~ I am drooling again!! During our stay, Jurg told us that he had his engineers to test the quality of the air and water surrounding Villa Semana and results had been very good. He also mentioned that couples who visited Villa Semana has a higher chance of conceiving as the air is very fresh and tons of good ions (honestly, you really need to ask Jurg himself to give you the full details!)

During this really short 2 nights stay, we literally did nothing EXCEPT chatting, spa session, bonding with each other, read books, ate, laughed, hugged, laughed, drank, laughed... okay you got the picture. We enjoyed ourselves...

 

 All in all, the girls concluded that we have really enjoyed ourselves and that we are alot more at peace with our minds and hearts. Yes girls, so do check this place out should you wanna consider Bali as your next holiday destination! I realise that as much as I hate to admit it, we really do need to get out of the city and 'noise' once in a while to tune back our crazy brains back into its proper state.

Their address is Banjar Semana, Desa Singakerta, Ubud, Bali 80571, Indonesia and do read up more on them via tripadvisor! You will be impressed with how many good reviews!
