The villa is bright red iron-studded door, steps across a small pond lead into an open-sided living area then onto a covered poolside dining pergola and second seating area.  Behind the living area is the master bedroom pavilion opening onto the length of the pool terrace, facing the guest bedroom pavilion on the other side

A deeply cushioned daybed is the focus of the fan-cooled living area, an open-sided space defined by a striking floor of traditional patterned tiles, and decorated with antique Indonesian furniture and artefacts.  Opposite is another living corner, where a pair of antique armchairs is set before a peaceful Buddha.

Under a vaulted teakwood-lined roof rises a magnificent four-poster bed swathed in mosquito netting.  Colonial-style furniture, antique porcelain and oriental rugs enrich this air-conditioned master suite – even the ultra-modern 47-inch curved TV has a magnificent backdrop, set before an ornately carved mirror-backed geometric panel.  The bathroom is just as beautifully decorated, with a dressing area, bathtub framed within a garden alcove, twin basins, and walk-in shower enclosure with pool view.

The air-conditioned guest pavilion also looks out over the pool, with extra-wide sliding glass doors opening onto the terrace.  Twin beds (that join to create a king-size bed if preferred) rest under a towering mosquito net on an over-sized platform.  An antique-style rocking chair is perfect for watching movies on the 43-inch satellite TV, and beyond a linen-padded wall lies a dressing area with wardrobe, and a bathroom with bathtub, large shower enclosure and twin basins.
