This place is very, very special. It's difficult and too emotional to describe what happened to us while being with Aji and most of the time, his sister Ida Bagus. We just can say that they are lovely people in all the possible ways of living life and being, and that there are no words to tribute their hospitality and kinship of openheartedness. This place is for timeless travelers with a good eye for culture, with sense of humor, coffee likers, broader for people who really are willing to dive into the adventure of contemporary Balinese customs and way of living. It might seem boring what's happening in this house, as there's not much “materialistic” movement, but then it's for sure just yourself who is “blind” for what's really happening in and around a certain place, and if you are that boring, you should maybe better stay in southern touristic areas, where life is like at home. For the other type, eager to learn from the more and better experienced, which Aji and Ida surely are: move around this wonderful village, to the daily market, it's incredible temple areas (take a bath!), take a walk through the rice fields, enjoy the view of Genung Agung, and get inspired by the laughers of the people in the streets by telling them words in Basa Bali in horrible spelling. Last but not least: Consider to hire a Scooter, easiest and cheapest and most interesting and liberate way to know the area around. We stayed one month in the beautiful village of Tampaksiring and enjoyed every single day. Thank you Aji and Ida and the whole family, for everything. Anestis & Lili
