Nestled between a river and the rice fields, Rumah Semanggi is a little village of boutique bungalows. Set in a lush tropical garden, with a deep natural stone swimming pool, Rumah Semanggi is a peaceful haven for travellers exploring Bali. ***Please read this carefully*** (seriously, please don’t skip this part for your own good) As we live in the middle of the jungle, we do have mini dinosaurs, geckos, unidentifiable bugs, butterflies, frogs, rare birds & the occasional monkey passing through. The last one is quite rare, but our point is, we're in the jungle & it is home to a healthy ecosystem of wildlife & we wouldn't have it any other way. We are not a 5-star hotel & we don't have a 24-hour concierge service, if one of us is around to help you with a wayward critter we will, but after hours (6pm) you will have to rely on yourself to escort them off the premises (a broom will do the job in most instances). If by now you’re already scared reading this, we suggest you book a place that better suits your character, city hotels in the centre of Ubud might be more your jam. Another thing to point out is the tropics are HUMID. Ubud can get steamy during the rainy season compared to other parts of Bali. The houses have been designed to maximise airflow but this is the reality of living in the tropics. We can't change the weather & nor would we want to—lush jungle paradises like Ubud can't exist without it. If you are okay with all of the above, go ahead & book us—we can't wait to welcome you to our little jungle oasis.

Hello, my name is Summa & alongside my husband Roberto we manage Rumah Semanggi. We love exploring this amazing archipelago, discovering the diverse cultures on each of the islands, tasting the local dishes & where there is water you'll find us under it as we both love diving. When we are not out exploring you may find me painting in my studio, Roberto taking photos or us both out walking our dogs. Rumah Semanggi is such a special place, nestled between a little river & the ricefields. While only ten minutes from central Ubud & walking distance to an array of cafe & restaurants in vibrant Penestanan, you also feel away from it all. In our tropical garden, you'll find rabbits, turtles, some friendly dogs, endless birds & butterflies & if you're lucky you'll spot the Balinese Blue Kingfisher as he flys through the riverside jungle. Rumah Semanggi offers privacy to those who need it, but also a community to connect to if you're a solo traveller, we have some long-stay residents who also call Rumah Semanggi home & all of us would be happy to share our local tips for Ubud, Bali & also the rest of Indonesia.

Only 10 minutes away from central Ubud, Rumah Semanngi offers a retreat from the hustle & bustle of the town centre. An array of local & world-class restaurants are in walking distance from the bungalows. Some of Ubud's most famous rice field walks are on the doorstep—perfect for early morning or late afternoon strolls.
