Bali Villas

Bali villas | Ubud villas

The village of Sayan stretched along the top of a narrow ridge that ran up into the mountains. Every three days a crowded bus rattled down from the Chinese coffee plantations to denpasar, choking and stalling as it climbed back again at night. Behind these ran the mountains of Tabanan, and far off to the south a triangle of sea shone between the hills. This bali villa had once been terraced to grow rice, but now was covered with grass and shaded with coconuts. It descended in several steps to the edge of the cliff, where it dropped four hundred feet. From below came the faint roar of the river as it rushed among the rocks and stones.

This Bali villa is furnished with Indonesian antique furniture and artifacts, hand woven textiles and local Balinese crafts The entrance foyer’s stone stairs lead down to a spacious, open-air, traditional Balinese style living and dining pavilion with alang-alang roof. This main living area overlooks the natural stone tile, infinity style swimming pool and pool terrace. A separate, fully equipped staff kitchen is located adjacent to the dining area. Stone walls, fountains, and ponds surround the main pavilion. A few steps lead directly from the main pavilion to the swimming pool and patio area with umbrella shaded teakwood dining table, pool loungers, and poolside bale.

From the entrance foyer antique Balinese doors open to this Bali villa’s two master guest bedrooms with garden style ensuite bathrooms. Each is furnished with four poster, king size bed with mosquito netting, ceiling fan, and air conditioner.
