The road leading into the villa was bumpy. Upon arrival, we were surprised that there is only one villa at Hanis, separated by a bamboo screen from the restaurant. Somehow we have missed out this information from the Net.
The villa is a Javanese house that gives a very rustic feel. It consists of two rooms with connecting outdoor bathrooms. In the big room, there is a double four posted bed, wardrobe, TV, minibar, sofa corner, reading desk and a big mirror. The big room is beautifully decorated with Javanese ornaments. There is also a private garden with a pool and a shady gazebo.
We had our first lunch at the restaurant and we informed the staffs that we do not take beef. The next morning, the attentive staff still remembered and reminded us that the sausage at the breakfast consisted beef and they replaced it with pork bacon for us. Since our flight on the last day was at 7.30AM, we had to leave the villa at 5.30AM, the kind staff prepared sandwiches for us to take along to the airport.
We also used the hotel airport shuttle which cost USD 9 per trip and we hired the same driver for the next two days. It is essential to have a driver in Yogyakarta. It cost IDR 550,000 for hire a driver for 12-hour/daily.
The villa is clean and the service is good. We enjoyed breakfast times as we could have a spectacular view of Mount Merapi. There is also WIFI in our villa and at the restaurant. Overall, it is an unique experience for the 3 of us.
