I can’t recommend Candra Cottage enough. I wanted to experience authentic Bali and definitely got the chance to here. The host, Gede, made my stay extra special. He picked me up from the airport and drove me around to all of the sites I wanted to see. As a solo female traveler, I couldn’t have felt more comfortable spending the day with someone. He was kind, generous, and protective. He told me about an orphanage he volunteers for because I’m a teacher and then took me there the following day when I requested to spend some time with the kids. The view from the balcony of the hotel was the best I’d seen in Bali, and the breakfast and dinner were great as well. I only wish I could have spent more time there. Thank you Gede!
