Rice Terrace Views: Villa Satya - Seminyak

This stylish 4-bedroom residence has been realistically designed to optimize space, natural light and the backdrop of rice terrace views. Access to the villa is via a modern entrance gate painted red for prosperity, which reveals a welcoming Buddha statue in a stone niche. An 8-seat dining setting of distressed timber and high-backed cane chairs are positioned to overlook a charming garden pond created out of natural river stones surrounded by random plantings of indigenous flora. The other feature here is a guest powder room discretely hidden behind a decorative Balinese door fitting.

Two air-conditioned bedrooms are also found on the ground floor, both featuring en-suite bathrooms with unique carved vanity mirrors, separate facilities and generous sunken tubs for pleasures bath-time rituals. The master bedroom is highlighted by bed linen of vibrate orange, built-in wardrobe space and practical access from the pool directly into the outdoor section of the bathroom.

An inviting outdoor area incorporates a well-maintained collection of towering palms, a full-length swimming pool edged in a combination of stonework, timber sundeck and a pair of all-weather reclining loungers. Nestled into a corner of this setting there is a Balinese styled pavilion with traditional roof shingles and intricately carved support beams providing a shady spot to curl up with a good book or just relax.

The upper level of Villa Satya are two additional sun-filled double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms featuring separate bath and shower facilities. A private sun terrace shaped to curve over the pool environment below is blessed with a vista of verdant greenery provided by a natural boundary of mature trees and a neighbouring rice field.
