Designed to maximize the natural light, and the cool sea-breeze, the property offers a blend of air-conditioned comfort and tropical open-air living. There are numerous relaxation areas, allowing guests to find a private spot for peace and quiet. In fact, a large family or group could stay at the villa and still feel the tranquil peace of solitude.
Features
The entrance level of the sprawling property, designed with Balinese architecture and an Indian touch, welcomes the visitor with statues of elegant Balinese ladies holding flower- pots atop their heads. The car passes along the coconut, mango and other fruit trees to reach the garage where the staff receives the visitor against the backdrop of a magnificently sculpted Javanese door.
Guest Bedroom
The colonnade of the house leads to the two guest bedrooms located on one side of the garden. Air-conditioned with mosquito nets, the rooms are charmingly decorated with painting and lovely statues in the en-suite indoor-outdoor toilet and bathroom.
A large wardrobe with safety box and a writing desk with chair complete the furniture arrangement. In between the two guest bedrooms is a daybed for lounging and to appreciate the manicured garden with exotic hand crafted statues in white palimanan stone.
Jungle House
On the third and the lowest level of the estate is set a unique bedroom for two, among luxurious flowers and fruit trees with fish-ponds and fountains. The architecture is that of a rural rice-barn with thatched roof. It has an air-conditioned bedroom with modern amenities. Twin beds are on the first floor, provided also with a fan and a mosquito curtain making it a very intimate place to enjoy the rural and rustic atmosphere.
The deck on the same floor gives a relaxing view of the river with shady trees on both the banks. A small boat for two can give an intimate ride in the river under the trees.
On the ground floor of the cottage is the toilet, washbasin, wardrobe, shower, the exercise facility and the portable massage table. A badminton court is also laid out, next to a hammock for two, swaying gently in the breeze between the two tall trees.
First Floor Lounge
Wooden stairs, under an imposing three-span arch, lead to the first floor with wide-open windows, equally big as the Master suite down below.
It gives an eyeful of the magnificent scenery around including the ocean and a splendid view of the estate. The wooden columns and hand carved arches provide a charming setting for a relaxed atmosphere with friends on the specially designed chairs, sofas and canopy-bed. A bar is also set on the exquisite wooden floor.
Living Room
In the center of the property is a formal square living room. On the right of the colonnade leading to the living room is a uniquely designed toilet. The living room is open on all the four sides with tall sliding glass doors and an antique wooden door facing the second level garden.
The reclining sofas and chairs under a fan with a stereo music system gives a breathtaking view of the third and the fourth lower levels of the property and the swimming pool; a world far from the madding crowds. A beautifully crafted ceramic inlay at the center of the room reinforces the Asian touch brought home ecstatically by three magnificent silk paintings. The four steps, in front, lead to the white terrace with a motive for chess. The terrace is ideal for parties and events.
Dining Room
The colonnade also leads to the raised dining room on wooden pillars. The dining room is open on all the three sides with wooden columns supporting beautifully carved arches. Two dining marble tables mounted on Palimanan stones with antique dragon-shaped candle-supports and specially designed leather chairs provide an elegant feeling of comfort and ease.
The view of the vast expanse of multi-tiered rice fields beyond the swimming pool and the peaceful river set against the traditional rice-barn with deck can washed away any stress. The kitchen right behind the dining room is fully equipped to meet with the demands of the rich menu listed.
Swimming Pool
The large infinity swimming pool placed at the end of the third level of the property is ideal for the community time. The eighteen-meter long pool gives ample scope for a good work out as also fun and frolic.
Easy chairs of different designs provide sunbathing facilities in any postures. The Balinese Bale with comfortable cushions facilitates reading or napping under the roof covered with bougainville flowers.
The pool lets the water through a cascade into a lower pool. A wooden platform under the ini-waterfall of about three meters helps to have a full invigorating body massage making it a natural Jacuzzi.
Tower
Reach the landmark tower of Olesha, by slowly walking along the soft but firm green grass of the wide lawns surrounded by stunning flowers of all hues, fruit trees showing off their attractive possessions against the relaxing chatter of the water fountains at all the four levels. Going up the stairs of the tower, giving an atmosphere of ages passed by with the arches and the stained glass wall, you reach an intimate salon on the top with a comfortable mattress. There, leaning against the round cushions, you are a Nawab, looking down on the fabulous property with the volcanic mountain range of Bali on one side and the Uluwatu peninsula and Indian Ocean on the other. Sandwiched between them is the inevitable lush greenery of Bali with a bright orange colored glorious sun either rising or setting.
