The peaceful Villa Bahagia is a luxury Bali rental villa, resting on 1270 square
meters of land beside the rice fields, and blessed with beautiful rural views. It is located just 10 minutes’ drive from the beach, shops and the internationally acclaimed restaurants of trendy Seminyak, on Bali’s south western coast.
The contemporary Balinese architecture presents four air-conditioned bedrooms, complete with ensuite bathrooms, an additional bedroom suitable for a child, a sizeable living and dining room open to the garden, a gazebo with large built-in sofas, and a fully equipped kitchen. This two-storey holiday villa in Bali is complemented by a pretty garden with a flat lawn and a 14 x 6
meter swimming pool, together with a relaxation pavilion. The villa and garden are surrounded by high walls for privacy, and the name Bahagia is taken from the Indonesian word for happy.
Bedrooms
There are four air-conditioned master bedrooms at Villa Bahagia, complete with ensuite bathrooms, picture windows and large sliding glass doors. One of the bedrooms has an adjoining office that can be used as a single bedroom, suitable for a child. Two bedrooms are located downstairs and two are situated upstairs; each is
characterized by fresh white walls, flat ceilings and timber floors. Two of the bedrooms are furnished with queen size beds, while the other two bedrooms have twin beds, which convert to king size beds. Other furnishings include wardrobes, bedside tables, chests and chairs. Alcoves showcase Indonesia
artifacts, and the walls are adorned with local artwork or framed black & white photographs of Bali. The two Master Rooms have the additional facility of a dressing area with a dressing table and large mirror. The upstairs Master Bedroom opens onto a romantic stone balcony furnished with a wicker chair and table. From here, there is a beautiful view across the rice fields. The spare room is accessed via the smaller of the two bedrooms on the upper floor; it opens onto a sunny Palimanan stone terrace bordered by plants and flowers. Each bedroom is equipped with a safe deposit box.
Each ensuite bathroom has its own distinct characteristics; each is fashioned in light grey terrazzo, and fitted with a bath tub, walk-in shower, double washbasins
and a toilet. The two downstairs bathrooms are each complemented by a pebbled courtyard planted with green foliage. Each is fitted with an oversized bathtub and an outdoor shower. Surrounded by walls, these garden bathrooms are totally private. The two upstairs bathrooms are cool and breezy due to the shuttered glassless windows. Each features a walk-in rainshower and an oversized bathtub.
