THE HOUSE
At the end of a meandering path, resting within the embrace of the forest and rice paddies, is a welcoming and harmonious retreat, a home away.
Greeted by the smiles of the staff awaiting to tend to your every need during the stay, you will gently be lead to rest in the cozy living room, an original antique javanese house, where refreshments will be served. The large sofa, eclectic furnishing and numerous literature, convey a wonderful aura, and from there one may savour the view of hilly grounds and the infinity pool perfectly set a little distance away from the house.
As will soon be discovered, this is also the place to gather for sundown and indulge in the magnificent signature Bali sunsets.
The kitchen and dining porch lie to the right of the living room, offering the same marvelous view.
On the other side of the living room a tiled courtyard houses two large tables perfect for vibrant gatherings and candlelit dinners alike.
From the courtyard, stairs lead at both ends to the four bedrooms contained within the main dwellings, all with pleasant views to the surrounding valleys.
From there a few seconds stroll leads to the pool and its inviting loungers.
THE BEDROOMS
The decor of the five bedrooms has been kept simple to conjure a sense of peace and tranquility.
Two of the bedrooms face look out on to the rice fields and the morning sunrise.
- The upstairs has a large double bed and adjacent writing nook.The bedroom and bathroom connect through a large walk-in closet.
Both open onto a lovely covered balcony where you can enjoy the surrounding nature.
- Downstairs the second bedroom, with its ensuite bathroom, opens out on to a lovely terrace and garden.
Facing thevalley on the other side of the house are the other two bedrooms.
- First the “children’s” bedroom, upstairs, is fitted with a large double bed and a smaller one to its side. To one end of the room lies a little reading nook that can yet be accommodated for more sleeping, providing the perfect space for a small family as well a group of independent children.Toys and books fill the large shelves and there is plenty of space for the children to play.
- Down the stairs is the fourth bedroom.
Its “O” shaped door leads from a private terrace, with a beautiful view of the valley and glistening pool in the distance, to the serene intimacy of a singular “zen like” room with large double bed and an en suite shower room.
- Last but not least a fifth bedroom may be found away from the main house, standing private within the edge of the grounds near the forest below the pool. This lovely original wooden structure, with typical alang alang roofing, is a quaint independent guest room, with a private terrace resting under the protective shadow of a majestic eucalyptus. It is fitted with a large double bed, charmingly netted in the centre of the room, and may host additional beds when extra sleeping is required to accommodate a group of adolescents or a family with small children. The attached bathroom is testimony to the simplistic style of cabin living.
