I possibly cannot put into word how magical this Villa is. The location, the facilities and the service were like nothing I could have ever wished for. Everything we needed was available and if it wasn't Ayu made it appear like magic! Ayu is the most amazing host, she seemed to be their 24/7 always with a smile and saying "no problem' to any of our requests. Ayu organised our transport, Massage services at the villa, Dr's in the middle of the night and food or drinks were cooked for us at any time of the day with the quality always exceptional. I was celebrating my 50th with family and friends, Ayu organised my bed to be decorated with a beautiful birthday message and a special dinner near the rice paddy with garden lights. To top my night off, Ayu's 3 beautiful daughters came in and did a special dance for the celebration that left me crying watching such beauty. Our rooms were serviced daily and all of the staff were so lovely and polite at all times. I cannot recommend both Villas to anyone travelling to Bali highly enough, I promise you will not be disappointed, only surprised with the way Ayu and staff go above and beyond at all times. Thank you so much for making our time in Bali and my birthday one of the most special times in my life that I will never forget.

I hosted a photographer's retreat at Villa Mannao from May 18th-23rd. We are a group of 8 photographers and we had the most amazing time at the villa. The villa is way more gorgeous than the photographers I saw on Airbnb. It is luxurious, spacious, well appointed and absolutely stunning! The rooms are so beautiful! The surrounding lawns and rice fields are lush and vast! It was like heaven on earth. The staff was just the best I have come across. Right from the time I booked the villa, to organizing all the details of the retreat, the sightseeing, the delicious food at the villa - all the arrangements were handled exceptionally well. They even booked the sightseeing entrance tickets for our group, made reservations at the restaurants we visited, organised an amazing live traditional Balinese entertainment for us at the villa, a yoga class and a beautiful cooking class in Ubud. They organized a birthday cake for one of us at very short notice and took such good care of us. I would like to mention the names of a few staff, who we interacted with, who gave us the best hospitality anyone can ask for - Ratih at their head office, who was my main contact; Ms Ayu, who took care of all the details once we arrived at the villa, and her staff Darsin & Putu! There were a few more staff who were extremely helpful and kind - I could not get their names unfortunately. We felt like they all were family. We even danced together on the last night. It was heartwarming and I would love to come back to Villa Mannao! I highly recommend it for groups of 8-16 people. I would give them 11/10! Thank you for the warmth & genuine hospitality!

There are not enough superlatives to describe how gorgeous this villa was and my overall experience. I went to Bali for my 40th birthday with 19 family members from different countries. The Villa Finder team was phenomenal from the start. I have never been so well looked after by such a service. Thomas and Sofi were extremely helpful from finding the right villa,in the perfect location for my group which had an age range of 10 - 70. They facilitated all my requests to enhance my guest experiences and were always available for my questions. Nothing was ever too much, it was a 5 star experience.

The Villa Mannao and it's crew under the leadership of Ms Ayu keeps amazing me. It's been the third time that I spent my birthday here (2015, 1019, 2024) and we had again a fantastic time. Special shout out for the birthday dinner with the babi guling and the personalized coconuts. We'll be back! :)

Staying at Villa Mannao was a 11/10 experience. The pictures do not do the place justice, just a beautiful villa. Ayu and the rest of the team were amazing throughout the whole trip, assisting us with anything we needed and keeping our bellies full. Would 1000% recommend and would definitely stay here again.

Our stay at Villa Mannao was truly an unforgettable experience for our family of 17. The villa offered the perfect setting for us to enjoy quality time together, allowing us to make the most of every moment as one big, happy family. The open kitchen was a fantastic feature, where we could gather, had cooking lessons with the chefs to cook our own dinner, and enjoy freshly prepared meals that catered to everyone’s tastes. This, combined with the convenience of having drivers whenever we needed, made our time here even more enjoyable and stress-free. The beauty of Villa Mannao was something special; its rooms and design created a spacious yet cozy atmosphere, making it easy for everyone to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The property was meticulously designed to offer both privacy and communal areas, so whether we wanted quiet time by ourselves or group activities, it had it all. The scenery, coupled with the comfortable amenities, made it a wonderful backdrop for family bonding and unforgettable memories. We truly cherished every moment spent together in such a beautiful place.

Walking through the gates we were blown away by how beautiful it was, the photos don’t do it justice, it exceeded everyone’s expectations. All staff were lovely, attentive and went out of their way to make our stay unforgettable. Blue Jay cafe around the corner and the hole in the wall yiros place were brilliant!

Villa Mannao Review: Title: Exceptional Service and Comfort at Villa Mannao My team and clients recently had the pleasure of staying at Villa Mannao, and we were all thoroughly impressed with the experience. The villa's serene ambiance, coupled with its impeccable design, made our stay both relaxing and luxurious. One of the standout features of our experience was the exceptional service we received. Ayu and Dayu, two staff members at the villa, were always on hand to ensure that all our needs were met with a smile. They were professional, attentive, and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. The culinary experience at Villa Mannao was also a highlight. The chef prepared a variety of delicious meals, catering to all our dietary preferences with flair and creativity. Each dish was a testament to their skill and passion for food. In summary, Villa Mannao provided an outstanding stay for my team and clients. We left with fond memories and look forward to returning. We highly recommend Villa Mannao to anyone looking for top-notch accommodation with exceptional service.

I booked this villa along with Little Mannao for my company’s first-ever retreat. All of us work remotely, so for some of us, it’s the first time seeing each other in person after knowing them through screens. Being together in a huge place like this allowed us to spend time with each other, which is what I love about Villa Mannao. We absolutely loved the amount of space and greenery around the area. We had 2 young families that joined us with their little ones, and they loved that the kiddos have space to freely roam within the villa. The small downside feedback is that some sharing rooms have open-concept bathrooms, which can be quite inconvenient. The staff was fantastic, both in villa-finder (shoutout to Thomas and Sofi, who were my superheroes!) and in the Mannao Estate. Big hugs to Ayu, the villa butler, who was an incredible support throughout our stay. The villa can be a little tricky to find if you’re using ride-hailing apps, as the small lane can be overlooked. It’s just a small inconvenience that can get better the longer you stay, of course. It might be better to place a few signs along a few routes to get to the respective villas around the same area. Overall it was a wonderful experience. I hope to have the chance to stay here again, or somewhere else similar under villa finder :)

We had the best time at Villa Mannao. Ayu the villa manager is incredible. She and her team ensure that everything is running smoothly and that all your wishes are catered for. We had a big Indonesian BBQ dinner on our second night and it was a total success. The lighting, the food, the music everything was just perfect. The food throughout the entire stay was spot on. We can not recommend this villa enough and certainly will be back.!
