Included in the price of the villa is maid service Monday – Saturday from 7 am – 3 pm. She will also wash and iron your clothes, but please do not ask her to hand wash items or wash delicate fabrics.

A local cook is available upon request and payable locally. We are also able, with prior notice, to arrange a proper chef. If this service is needed we will give you a quote and you will pay him directly. There is a house manager who lives nearby who will meet you at the house on your arrival and explain everything. She can organize trips, restaurants etc. and advise you where to go, and she is around if you have any problems. Airport transfers can be arranged if required, payable on your arrival.

If you would like the house provisioned with food and/or drink before you arrive then the house manager will go to the supermarket/market to get your items. However she will charge a fee for this service, and will need to have advance notice. The pool is cleaned by a pool service company once a week, and we have a ‘pool boy’ who keeps it looking sparkling three times a week.

The garden service also comes once a week.

Sheets and towels, including pool towels, are normally replaced midway through each week.

On arrival at the property there is an automatic wooden gate which is opened and closed electronically with a fob key. Once through the gate there is a short gravel driveway up to a pergola covered double parking space. Upon parking you will be faced with a terracotta coloured palm lined wall with five carved stone Balinese musicians to welcome you to the villa. Go through the wooden gate and you will be in the garden near the pool.

The Swimming Pool:
The swimming pool has an infinity edge giving out onto Dian Bay. With steps leading into the shallow end, and the deep end at the infinity edge, a trio of carved Balinese frogs spout water into the pool. There are six teak sun loungers and mattresses and two reclining chairs around the pool.

The Gazebo:
The gazebo has a definite air of the Far East to it, with a large Balinese day bed and table and a carved stone window. It looks over the swimming pool and out into the bay and the sea beyond. It is a wonderful spot to lounge out of the sun, with a rum punch in hand and read a book, or just gaze into the distance. The Gardens:
Because of the salty atmosphere it is hard to have a truly lush tropical garden in this part of the island. Consequently the outside garden has been left more or less as it was before the house was built - grass with succulents and cacti and a few shrubs and low trees. Where the garden is sheltered by the house, as in the inner gardens, then it is easier to have a more tropical feel. Outside behind the utility room area it is more sheltered and bananas, pineapples and papayas have been planted, and you may be lucky and have some if you are there at the right season.

The Bay Steps:
There is a stone path leading to the cliff with steps down the cliff to the sea below and a small stone platform giving onto the bay. From here on less windy days it is possible to swim and snorkel, and you will probably have the place to yourself.

Barbeque:
There are two large hand made coal pots which are locally produced barbecues. They are made from clay, and use charcoal, and work very well.
