Villa Description

The serenity of the three bedroom Villa Inti, which literally means ?villa of relaxation?, is evident from the moment you set eyes upon the property. The main entrance, surrounded by a delicately carved Javanese panel, frames the pastoral view through the villa of the mid-pool fountain and the rolling rice-fields beyond. Set in the sleepy sea-side village of Pererenan, only a three minute drive to the black sand surfing beach, this luxury villa was designed to maximize the openness and peaceful enjoyment of the natural surroundings while providing a close intimacy through the single floor layout. Boasting all modern amenities, nothing is lacking. Only a twenty minute drive from the high-class area of Seminyak, filled with five-star international restaurants, fine boutiques, and exhilarating night-life, Villa Santi is close to the action, but still far enough away to offer complete repose in the charm of rural Bali.

Throughout the villa you will notice the fantastic amount of natural light that enters due to the open-air floor-plan of the main living space and dining room, which overlook the stunning pool and abundant views. In the partially enclosed bedrooms and entertainment room are numerous windows with wood shutters that can be opened to allow in the breeze and sun, or closed when darkness or air-conditioning are desired. These spaces can all be further opened up to the outside by way of a second set of doors that have been specially made to open from either one-meter above the floor, or from floor to ceiling. All of the doors in the villa are lime-washed providing for a rustic feel. The furniture is a mix of contemporary and antique, all with the distinct flavours of the archipelago of Indonesia. Signifying careful attention to details, a plethora of works of art, including sculptures, vases, paintings, and sketches enrich Villa Santai.

Bedrooms

The master bedroom features hard-wood floors, a king-sized canopy bed, several antique tables, and armchairs woven out of natural materials. Like the other bedrooms, it has a plethora of windows, and a second doorway that can open up to reveal the wood balcony and stunning scenery beyond. In the Ensuite open-air bathroom is a bathtub made of polished off-white cement over which hangs a framed embroidered tapestry of flowers, providing a splash of blooming color. The twin vanity is set to one side of a partition, that you can walk around to get to a stone slab walkway leading to the verdant lawn towards the pool

Pass by a slender Timorese statue on the walkway that leads towards one of villa’s many colourful contemporary Indonesian paintings by Loka Dama, and reach two of the bedrooms. Both bedrooms have air conditioning and fans, and have outward-facing doorways like the one in the entertainment room. In one of the bedrooms, the doorway opens up to overlook the gardens. This bedroom features two beds, which can be pushed together to form a king-sized bed. The crisp white cotton linens on all the beds are from India, and all beds have canopy mosquito nets. The second bedroom doorway opens up to a wood balcony, and faces the peaceful rice paddies. Both bedrooms feature ensuite bathrooms that are partially open-air and feature standing showers and bougainvillea filled rock gardens. Each W.C. is hidden behind a polished concrete partition

Dining

Walking across the main living area from the right wing of the house, you pass by a meditating Chinese statue playfully decorated with flowers and incense, and step up to the open-air dining pavilion. The elegant hard-wood table comfortably seats eight, and overlooks the grounds, while the decorative lighting fixture that hangs above casts mysteriously enchanting shadows at night. An elegant Oriental cabinet sits to the side, and a large framed mirror expands the space. Have the cooks prepare one of their delicious dishes from around the world in the fully-equipped modern kitchen and indulge in some homemade ice cream for dessert. The kitchen is also stocked with high-class crockery and acrylic glasses perfect for late afternoon cocktails while relaxing on the daybed beside the pool. A guest bathroom, decorated with Timorese carvings, and featuring a vanity with sink and separate W.C. is positioned in the open walkway between the dining room and master bedroom, with open access to the pool.
