Bali, love at first sight -Green Field Hotel, Ubud

Ubud is a town located in the central mountain area of Bali, Indonesia. Different from vivid and exciting downtown in the South, Ubud is a very artistic and subtle place where the charm shall be explored by peaceful mind and humble attitude.
The hotel I lived was 'Green Field' owned by a local artist. There were two types of room I actually experienced during my stay.
The first one was the economical room which cost 250,000 Rupian per day. It was cheap but clean and spacious.  


The cute 2-floor house looked beautiful in the sunlight.

In front my room, please notice that the street lamp has a black cap.

 The second type I lived was called the Bale Sukat which cost 500,000 Rupian per night. People who love to experience traditional Balinese house should try this.




Sitting in the fancy balcony, I enjoyed it a lot. The fancy door and windows were right behind.There was also a daybed which was my favorite!

Balcony view: one side was pool and pavillion, the other side was green rice field

 Breakfast was the most joyful thing in the hotel. Friendly staffs would bring what you'd ordered through phone to your room and I prefered to eat my rich breakfast in the balcony. One side was the pool view, the other was the green rice fields. No hurry, just be slow and slow, listening to birds' song, watching farmers take care of their crops.
An interesting thing about breakfast is whenever I started to enjoy breakfast, Balinese ants also began to share the food. Then I found a solution - to squeeze some juice of a lemon ; ants would not come. In fact, in a place like Ubud, I would never feel uncomfortable to share food with these lovely creatures.

A typical American breakfast: fruit platter +pineapple pancake + Bali coffee

Or another set: fruit platter with yogurt and honey + nasi goreng/scrabbled egg with toast+ Bali coffee

 In short, Green Filed is a hotel of high value. I would like to return as soon as possible. Certainly, in Ubud there are many featured places to stay, I hope that I could try more of them!
