MAGNIFICENT VILLA: A JEWEL IN THE PARADISE OF BALI

Dearest Made -

we have arrived home safely in Denmark after overnight stay in Perth. we are all so missing you and the villa olesha staff.
Thank you for an unforgettable experience for our family. this was our first family holiday in 6 years, and will be impossible to replicate, but i hope we will find the time and finances to come again soon. i am annoyed at myself that i forgot to give you staff tips to distribute.
i exchanged dollars to do so but was so distraught to say goodbye at the airport that i completely forgot to pass these on to you. i will send this with some photos very soon. i hope the new guests enjoy themselves even half as much as we did although i feel sure that no-one else will be such a good match with u as we were. u have created a beautiful, sincere team of people at villa olesha who collectively make villa olesha a paradise for your visitors. i hope u can explain to them that we are so appreciative of their efforts in making our time in bali so special. we will never never forget them, and we know we will be seeing you again made, in whatever way is possible. we will keep in touch. with love from the Thompson family and friends

jacob and anne, tres tres merci beaucoup, words cannot express our joy at villa olesha nor our sadness in leaving. Thank you for sharing your treasures - this place and these people - with us. Unforgettable...karen, warren, tahnee, aimee, and our guests bohdan, kiandra, lynley and jedda


Dear olesha Staa & Owneres;

We have had the most wonderful time here. The staff have been helpful and efficient but in addition to this they are kind, friendly and have made us feel so welcome. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful place with us. I can offer no improvements to what we have experienced.

Dear Jacob,

Can you give me an indication which amount of money I can give as a tip to the staff at the end of our stay here?

Yesterday we celebrated the bithday of my daughter Vera. In the evening we had a Bali music group with lots of dancers. The garden was full of decorations and lots of lights. I have never seen a more
romantique event and location. The quality of the music and dancers was superb. Then we had very well cooked fresh lobsters and lots of presents. As Vera said: this birthday will never be matched again. We truly enjoy every minute of our stay here. Also I playd golf at Haranda golf. Very quiet place and cool. Beautiful course. You have a very nice set of clubs.

Hope everything goes well there.

See you Jacob, Paul


Dear Jacob, back in Belgium after this special event of Olesha.

The holiday was like a fast dream that went by. It will be hard to match the event next year. The last day we organized a sports day around the house and included part of the staff. Lots of laughter and lots of gin-tonic.
Well Jacob, once again thank you for renting us your house. A friend of the children has promised to make one DVD of all the photo's and films. I will send one to your house in France.

Have a good time in Frisco.

With warm greetings, Paul and family.

Olesha, Bali

Dear Jacob
We settleted in very good here. My first week I spend in hotel in Ubud with a lot of rain, but nice. At 15 May I came to Olesha and Madé got to the airport to get my son ans a friend who came from Thailand.
The next day my daughter with a friend came from Holland. Everybody is very exited when they see the house. It truly is a paradise place with the houses and the beautiful garden. And flowers everywhere.
Outside of Bali I have never seen a place with so many flowers. Nearly every day the children go to Kuta to take surf lessons. In the evening we play big competitions of card game with a lot of noise and cheating. Madé is always very busy with 'the association of villa owners'. Yesterday he had big dinner with the governor. I think he likes that. Madé drives us anywhere and the rest of the staff spoils us with their constant serving; very good meals and their incredible kindness. We had dinner outside the house once in the Beachhouse restaurant, 100 meters from here. Nice setting with the sea.

On the birthday of my daughter (26 May) I have organised with Made big Balinese party with music, dancing and a video man. At the end of the holiday we always organise a sports-day around the house with all kinds of silly games. We will include the staff in the games; that will be fun.

Well Jacob, as you read you understand that we have a very good time in your house.

Of course when I am back in Belgium I will send you a DVD with the photo's.

Are you still in Frankfurt or already in San Fransisco? Hope you have a good time also.

With greetings, Paul, family and friends
