My stay at Clove Villa was truly magical! The villa has a local charm that made me feel right at home. The only downside is that it's a bit out of the main city, so a driver is necessary, but the peacefulness was worth it. I loved the attention to detail in the decor and the really good service from the staff. 🌿✨
