The three-bedroom Bali Villa One at Villa Vitodi is entered via an impressive hand-carved Balinese gate. Stepping stones lead across a smooth lawn towards a small ornamental pond flanked by bulrushes. This Bali property rests in front of a Balinese Hindu feature known as the ‘aling aling’, a short screen wall designed to protect the property from troublesome and malign influences, because evil spirits have great difficulty in turning corners.
Guests will now find themselves in a walled courtyard garden boasting a charming, deeply cushioned relaxation pavilion known as a ‘balé bengong’ beside an enticing 8 x 2.5 meter lap pool. The garden is planted with heliconia and a sweet scented frangipani tree. The wide lawn offers an attractive spot for sunbathing and is furnished with three sun loungers, while the remainder of the area is dominated by a large thatched open living and dining pavilion with robust coconut wood pillars and a parquet floor. Cooled by gentle breezes and ceiling fans, the style is minimalist and modern and the décor is crisp and fresh.
This Bali villa is characterized by broad white Palimanan stone pillars and thick walls, and the sunny open living area is equipped with a stereo music system and tastefully adorned with local artifacts. Contemporary furnishings include daybeds accessorized with colorful cushions and a low table; ceiling fans and bamboo roller blinds are fitted for the comfort of the guests.
