Experience the luxury of staying in Villa Senja, a private rental
villa on the island of Bali, with a 5-star standard of service.
The beautiful Villa Senja is a peaceful oasis and luxury rental
villa, hidden away in the rice fields of Bali. The villa is totally
private and secure, and yet just ten minutes’ drive from
the beach, shops and the internationally acclaimed restaurants
of trendy Seminyak, on the island’s south western coast.
Bordered by terraced rice fields reminiscent of amphitheatres,
and complete with a 17 x 6 metre swimming pool, the five-bedroom
villa was designed entirely by its French owners. It was not
built for business purposes; instead it is the realisation of
a dream,
a genuine home and a ‘living’ house, created to accommodate
and fulfil the needs of a Western family who spend much of their
time in Bali, but are happy for guests to stay in the villa on
a rental basis whenever they are away. The style is a romantic
fusion of Colonial, Javanese, French and Chinese inspiration, harmonised
with antique furnishings, artwork and treasures that have been
gradually collected over the years. The structure of Villa Senja
is rich in history and features an abundance of old teak wood.
The 54-square-metre salon is built around an antique Javanese ‘joglo’ house
and boasts a breezy verandah extending into the tropical Balinese
garden. Even the outside of the villa follows the lines of a
joglo with its distinctive funnel-shaped, shingle clad roof.
The owners’ private collection of artwork from around the
world includes old pictures from India, framed photos of Vietnam
and paintings from Hoi Anh, the Vietnamese painting city. Indonesian
artefacts include sculptures and statues from the islands of
Bali, Timor and Flores. Broadband Internet access is provided
for the
use of the guests. |
