It's impossible to fault the beautiful Villa Maridadi. Attention to detail is second to none. The staff is absolutely amazing, always there meeting our many demands spanning across three generations. Absolutely beautiful environment. Love the warungs out the front, great place for a sneaky drink at sunset.
