HIGHS
- Peace and seclusion of your own private villa, pool and gardens far away from bustling crowds
- Tons of space - huge master bedrooms, vast outdoor bathrooms and your own decent-sized pool (you get twice the space of a 5 star resort for about half the price)
- Decor unlike anything else on Bali - Diana refers to it as shabby-chic - creates sublimely restful and unpretentious atmosphere
- Delicious organic food served in your villa or the informal restaurant; and innovative healthy eating holidays
- The phenomenon that is Diana von Cranach - tour de force, bon raconteur. Her tales of spirits, previous lives and egyptology are only the tip of the iceberg
- Evenings spent at the main house chatting away till the small hours
- Fabulous snorkelling and other trips that can be arranged

LOWS
- Not much nightlife as few tourists come to these parts
- The beach has black volcanic sand that leads to exposed reef so to swim you'll need to walk further up shore
- Don't expect power showers and flat screen tvs - think imaginative rustic chic and low-key luxury rather than swanky glitz
- Passers by occasionally stray into the grounds but are soon seen off by Diana's dalmatian dogs
