Spent 5 nights at The White Villas with our 2.5year old. The villa itself is a little dated, but it definitely adds to the rustic charm. There are quite a few insects (geckos especially), but you get used to it after a while - besides, you are in Ubud, of course there will be insects everywhere.
The entire property is extremely quiet and peaceful (except for the annoying rooster from the property next door who would sometimes crow in the early morning), and the entire property does not even feel crowded even though the villas were all fully booked.
The food is actually pretty good. Nasi Goreng on the breakfast menu is actually really yummy. So is the omelette. The pancakes were also pretty good - my picky toddler enjoyed it.
While it is a short walk to the main street with mini marts, food choices, massage shops, etc, there are also Warungs or mini marts along the same road with good food.
You can also order a massage straight to your room, such bliss!
The entire crew of staff from check in/housekeeping to the driver and the cook at the Garden Lounge are AMAZING. Service is so so so so good. They are so nice and helpful. Always smiling, always so helpful and approachable.
The White Villas is definitely a must stay if you are in Ubud, perfect for a relaxing getaway yet in Ubud Centre.
We really had such an enjoyable stay. We will definitely come back should we visit Ubud again.
