Sawah Indah is on a long skinny block going back from the road. The restaurant and reception are first then the rooms range back and up the hill with curving paths leading to the rooms. The bungalow rooms are the furthest away from the road. The gardens are lovely and well maintained. We had a one bedroom bungalow room and it was great. It was a wooden construction, with a thatch roof. It had two rooms, bedroom and bathroom with the bedroom looking out the covered verandah which was so large, it really counted as a second room, especially as it had a two seater lounge and a couple of armchairs plus a coffee table. It was fully covered so no rain got in. Lovely view across the paddies to the distant mountains. I had asked for a quiet room and we were given one right up the back, away from the other rooms. The other rooms all looked nice, and all seemed to have varying designs and layouts. Bed was king-sized with mosquito nets and there was a bar fridge and a cupboard for luggage plus some seating. The bathroom was huge with double sinks, a full-sized concrete bath and two showers, one outdoors. They actually had a clock on the wall, which was really handy to have. The pool was nice and cool. only a few loungers right next to it but there was also another level below it with more loungers. The restaurant was really good - a large range of items, very well presented, tasty and reasonably priced. The weather was lovely and cool, which was a relief after a few days in Amed. Things to consider (but very minor and I'd recommend this place): There's not much to do, there just seems to be the village (standard Bali village with no restaurants or tourist shops) and a collection of accommodations plus one or two tourist shops and massage places. Good excuse to get some reading done. Massage within Sawah Indah was just OK, nothing special except for the lovely location looking into the garden. There was some building next door - compared to the photos, this area has become a little more built out but still does have extensive rice paddies so it still has an open feel to it. In case you wanted it, this property doesn't have a view of Agung. You can see it if you walk back up the hill towards the village. Quite a few mosquitoes but that's to be expected everywhere in Bali especially near rice paddies.
