"We love this villa and enjoyed very much during our stay. This villa is right below the philosopher's walking trail, surrounded by beautiful trees and temples. There is a garden and pond inside the villa area. As the house next to us is under renovation, we are free to walk around the lovely garden. If another villa is completed, the level of privacy might reduced. I am not sure. The villa is super clean, tidy and well equipped. It's fully renovated and well maintained. Mind you this...
