Cove review

Staff very friendly and extremely helpful. Chef prepared meals were fantastic. Location was quite a distance away because of traffic conditions. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend if you want a quiet getaway.

It's a wonderful world at the Cove

This was our second stay at the Cove and it was just as wonderful as we remembered it from two years ago when we got married at this beautiful place. When you step into the Villa a whole new world opens up towards the lush green garden with the sea at the background and the coconut trees reaching up to the sky. From the warm welcome and the smile of the staff to the infinity pool towards the ocean, to the sunset at the private beach, to the most tasty & authentic Indonesian cuisine by Chef Wayan to the seabreeze nights everything was just perfect. We didn't leave the villa as we stayed for 2 nights only but there is plenty to see for day trips and the best thing is you are in a very authentic and quiet part of Bali. The 'real' Bali. The owners of the villa must have had this vision of heaven on earth and created the cove. We would love to stay there again in the future with some friends and family to share the amazing experience. There are plenty of rooms and they are all very unique and beautiful. Thank you!

A little slice of heaven

The Cove is a villa that is perfectly situated in it's own little slice of calm that blocks out much of the chaos of Bali traffic that lies just beyond its walls. We were a family (plus guests) of 10 --four couples and two singles. Although the listing says there is space for 13, I wouldn't recommend going beyond ten unless there were some children. Seating at meals and around the patio were just right for 10. The house is comfortable and clean. The layout of all rooms open up to the spectacular grounds and water. The staff was fabulous, but the highlight was absolutely the chef Wayan! Plan on eating EVERY meal at the house for three reasons: 1. The food was phenomenal 2. the traffic and congestion when leaving the villa was just not worth going out to try a restaurant. 3. the price works out to be very affordable. In planning, you must understand that you need to stock up for your entire stay for items that are not provided (snacks, drinks besides coffee and tea) You CAN get beer at the local "mini-mart", but there is no alcohol or wine, and the drive back into Depensar is at very least 90 minutes to a proper market. I would recommend stopping after airport arrival on the way to the villa. Believe me, no one will want to leave to make a beer run after arrival. The drivers stopped our two vans at a market in the city for us to shop and I don't want to say that we got ripped off, but we did catch a few mistakes when being rung up--an extra case of beer or bottle of liquor. It could have been a natural mistake as we had a large order, but we ended up spending more on drinks and snacks than we did for the entire week of food. I would choose your own market that looks good--we passed several outside of the very chaotic city center that would have been much easier to get in and out of. also get Balian currency--enough to pay chef. The little beach surf village just 5 min away was lovely, but the trash and plastic on the beach really ruins the zen. Unfortunately, it seems to be par for the course on Balian beaches--even in front of the villa. Nonetheless, we visited that beach every day for some nice waves, a beer at the beach bar and FANTASTIC $10 massages right at the bar (not AT the bar but the same building). Definitely do not miss that! You will spend your blissful week at The Cove trying to figure out whether to swim in the perfect pool, take a nap or wander up to see what delicious smell Wayan has coming from the kitchen!

Fabulous views, great location away from the crowds

This is authentic Bali -- far from the cheek-to-jowl crowds of the southern tourist areas, you are welcomed as though you were coming back home to family. The property manager (Putu) the chef (Wayan) and the driver (Maddy) simply couldn't do enough to make one feel welcome and to not just attend to but anticipate my requests and preferences in the most friendly and gracious way possible. Pair that up with a near-private beach (itinerant fisherman wander by now and then), a lovely pool, beautiful grounds, sunsets over the ocean framed by palms, and comfortable Balinese-style furnishings, and you'll be elated that you avoided the worst of Bali and found the best!

About the host

Hosted by Rossella Conti

We are a family of five from Italy and the USA but have lived in Asia for over 10 years. We value privacy and undisturbed quality time together in beautiful, relaxing settings and wish the same experience for our guests. The activities we most enjoy are reading, beach walks, swimming, surfing, tennis, diving, and gourmet dining. The property we have constructed offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy these activities in a private and spectacular surrounding.

Why they chose this property

The attraction to the ocean motivated the owners' dream to develop a beachfront home. The 7,000 square meter land plot was acquired in 2008, and Inspiral Architecture and Design Studios was commissioned to create a structure faithful to both local ideals and the aesthetic values of the owners.

Overseen by a UK construction manager and finished in 2014, the property was lovingly built over a four year period using local labor and traditional methods. Landscaping was completed by a Dutch artist and landscape architect. All joinery is reclaimed teak and ironwood or sustainable plantation teak.

What makes this property unique

The land itself on which the property is built is remarkable: the beach is not accessible to others unless it's low tide, and even then only a few local fishermen and lobster hunters will pass through.

The grotto on the right-hand side of the beach is a place of romance and adventure, and passing through it will bring you to a beach with a different feel, with extraordinary rock formations and exotic views. To the left-hand side of the beach lies another, much longer beach, accessible at low tide, that is fantastic for walking and shell-seeking.

The views one can enjoy from each room in the house are spectacular and ever-changing, depending on the room, the sun or the clouds and the intensity of the sunset. The property is big enough that one can at any time feel they have enough personal space, even when the house is full.

Whether it is relaxing in your own terrace or deck, taking a swim in the pool, walking through the coconut grove, watching the waves from the cabana, playing a tennis match barefoot on the grass court, lounging in the living room or enjoying a massage-- there is always a place to go where it feels like nobody else is around.

The staff, entirely from the local area, is very kind and personable and the chef cooks delicious, fresh and gourmet food every day. It is a pleasure to discuss the next day's meals with the chef, and sitting down at lunch and dinner is always a lovely experience.
