Many people assume that the only option for their holiday is to book a hotel room and plan from this assumption. Many hotels on the island do offer excellent package deals. Occasionally it may preferable to take these deals, for a brief stay, and include all of the hotel services at your fingertips. But then, let's face it - hotels do have that generic affect of being the same the world over.

Often, for around the same price, it is possible to rent a complete house.

Many visitors to Bali have discovered that an attractive alternative to hotel accommodation is a concept designed by Intouch Homes and Villas.

Our concept is accommodation with a very unique and personal touch that creates a most memorable holiday experience. From the terraced mountain sides of Ubud to the water's edge; our properties range from a one bedroom honeymoon retreat to the most palatial Villa on the Island of the Gods. These accommodations include staff. The staff act as your personal assistants during your stay, providing you with a sense of security. This is an opportunity to connect more closely with the Bali experience.

The Day Maid (Pembantu) does your washing and cleans the house whilst assisting with any requests that you may have. A Gardener will ensure that your surroundings are kept in order. A Driver and vehicle may be provided at your Villa. The Nightman (Jaga Malam) will add that extra touch of security by ensuring that you and your personal belongings are safe whilst you're asleep. These staff will also provide the answer to many questions that you may not have the opportunity to discover within a more formal, hotel environment.

A house is your own private area where you may:

• relax with a drink amongst your garden environment
• enjoy a quiet dinner with a friend or two
• have lunch served in your dinning surroundings
• private swimming pool
• interact with the staff - ask them any questions you have

A house also offers you a much greater sense of privacy and autonomy during your holiday. If your trip is of an extended or business nature, a house will afford you many more options for meetings or entertaining.

Irrespective of the type of Home or Villa you choose, you'll get more space, comfort, informality, and personal service than you'd ever get in a hotel! A standard 21% Government Tax & Service Charge applies at all hotels, but rates for Homes and Villas are all inclusive and there are no hidden costs.

Rental rates of Homes and Villas are quoted on a daily basis and differ depending on size, range of amenities, facilities and the season. All properties are closely monitored to ensure that high standards of service are constantly maintained, therefore ensuring a trouble free stay.
