Beachside Villa with Traditional Features

This is a two bedroom, two bathroom beachside villa, located in the Mertasari area of Sanur. It is built on 400m2 land, with a decent sized garden and 5x7m swimming pool. A stand-out feature of this property is the traditional ‘lumbung’ or rice granary that stands separate to the main building and has been converted into an upstairs bedroom. The villa does have an outdoor terrace and the lower level of the lumbung doubles as another outdoor seating area, but the living area and kitchen are closed, affording flexibility and peace of mind for those of you who attract mosquitos (like myself).

Overall, this villa isn’t the newest or the shiniest, but it is very well located, it’s quite spacious, and it has an undeniable Balinese charm about it. If you’re not into modernist, minimalist design, this place certainly provides an alternative.
