We've just got back from our holiday in Bali and have to say we had such a fantastic time staying at Valentino's! Without sounding too gushing, I honestly don't know if you could stay anywhere better in Bali. Here's why:

- Nikki, Hristos and Constantinos are incredibly warm, friendly and generous hosts.
- The apartment was perfect for our needs - light, airy, spacious, clean and equipped with everything you'd need for a self-catering holiday
- The location is fantastic - right above the lovely Restaurant Panorama (great home-style, Cretan food) and the little port (Bali is kind of split into three parts and the bit around the port is the best bit in our opinion). The best beach is also just around the corner (a 5 minute walk away)
- The views from the apartments are stunning
- It's a very relaxing, peaceful place to spend time

We visited in April, so not high season. I think Bali is probably very busy in summer, but in April it's perfect - just enough tourists to make it feel alive, but not so many that it feels crowded. The temperature is also more bearable I think - the hottest day we had was 30 degrees, but most days were more like 20 degrees.

The sea wasn't warm - but you could swim in it. It was like the sea in Britain in the height of summer.

We'd really like to go back to Crete and if we do, we will definitely be staying at Valentino's! Thanks for an absolutely excellent stay!
