Villa Nagaputih Villa Nagaputih

We had a delightful stay in Villa Nagaputih, Ubud. Everything you could wish for in a relaxing retreat in the peaceful surrounds of the rainforest: the sound of a rushing river, bird calls and even an occasional sighting of blue kingfishers, monkeys or squirrels below.
