	      <title><![CDATA[Villa Sebali - Eco-friendly 4 Bedroom Private Villa in Ubud Bali]]></title>
	      <link>http://emwe.buzznet.com/user/journal/37757/</link>
	      <description><![CDATA[<p align="justify">This beautiful, very spacious villa on the edge of
Sebali, a pretty village just outside Ubud, is a luxurious haven from
which to enjoy both the peace and the delights of Bali. The views from
the house are of typical rice terraces and, in the distance,
spectacular Mt Agung and the dramatic mountains towards the north of
the island. We have been careful to be environmentally sensitive - <strong>green</strong> - with many <strong>eco</strong>-features including solar power and water heating, and a beautiful garden with organically grown fruit trees.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong><a target="NewWindow" style="text-decoration: none; font-weight: 700;" onclick="window.open('http://balivillas.widhana.net/index.php?list=22','newWindow','toolbar=0, location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=2,resizable=0,width=750,height=560');return false" href="http://balivillas.widhana.net/index.php?list=22">Photo Gallery</a></strong> | <strong><a href="http://www.baliprivatevacationvillas.com">More information</a><br></strong></p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Villa Sebali</strong> is just about 10
minute’s drive from the centre of Ubud, the cultural and artistic heart
of Bali. All on good roads, half the drive is through typical villages,
beautiful rice fields and tropical forest, and half past interesting
art galleries, antique and craft shops, and restaurants. Ubud is about
one and a quarter hours drive from the airport.</p>
<p align="justify">The house is built round three sides of a grassy,
flower-ringed courtyard, with the fourth side an infinity pool looking
down over a cascade of lotus and water-lily ponds to the orchard. It
has four very special bedroom suites and combines the luxury of
air-conditioned bedrooms with the delight of open air living.</p>
<p align="justify">There is a fully equipped kitchen, a library/games room and a table tennis room.</p>
<p align="justify">We have included many environmentally-friendly
features, from the thick, alang-alang roofs which provide wonderful
insulation, to solar powered water heating and electricity systems, and
natural waste water treatment.</p>
<p align="justify">The garden is lavishly planted with many
sweet-smelling trees and flowers. Beside the pool is a pretty balé, a
traditional grass-roofed pavilion for shaded relaxation, while below it
a path winds through the lotus ponds down to the orchard with its wide
range of tropical fruit trees. As these mature, guests will be able to
pick their own choice of fruit….</p>
<p align="justify">The villa is managed locally by the incomparable
Rita Dewi and has four full time staff, two in the house and two
gardeners/security. Our house staff will prepare your breakfasts,
maintain the house and rooms immaculately, and be on hand to aid and
advise you.</p>
<p align="justify">There are many things to do and see – artistic, sporting, cultural, spiritual and purely self-indulgent - within easy reach.</p>
<p align="justify">But also,  green, quiet, fragrant Villa Sebali is a wonderful place just to be.</p>
<p align="justify"><em>Note: Villa Sebali is not suitable for very
young children because of the many ponds and the pool. It can be made
wheelchair accessible, however.</em></p>
<p align="justify"><strong>The Villa Sebali, Sebali Village, Keliki, Ubud - Bali.<br>
</strong></p>
<p align="justify">The house is approached by a tree fern-shaded path
leading from the front courtyard with space for three or four cars, to
a bridge over a lotus pool and into the main building</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Dining area:</strong> spacious and equipped for up to 12 at table. It is open to the garden at one side and has two steps down to the living area.</p>
<p align="justify">At the side is the <strong>Kitchen:</strong> fully equipped with large fridge-freezer and permanent chilled drinking water.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Living area:</strong> an enormous room open to the garden with ample seating and many art works.</p>
<p align="justify">All the above areas have rich terra-cotta coloured
floor tiles, a lovely combination of warmth for the eye and coolness
for the room.</p>
<p align="justify">Guest cloakroom and WC.</p>
<p align="justify">Stairs lead from the living area to <strong>Sky bedroom suite</strong>:
vast, with a fantastic cathedral ceiling and flower-edged terraces
facing all four points of the compass with views to die for! A large
dressing area leads to the bathroom which is partly open air with wash
basin, WC, bath, separate shower and a small garden. One of its four
terraces is covered and has seating for relaxing and admiring the
garden and view.</p>
<p align="justify">From the living area a lobby leads to the south wing with <strong>Forest bedroom suite: </strong>equipped
with twin beds which can also be joined to make one king size bed. The
dressing area leads to the shower room with wash basin and separate WC.
A door leads through to the</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Library:</strong> an enchanting rotunda
which can also be reached directly by steps from the garden. Equipped
with flat screen TV, books, games and comfortable seating, this room
can either be used as a sitting room for the Forest Bedroom, or as a
communal room for all guests.</p>
<p align="justify">Again from the living area, a short path leads over the lotus pool to the independent <strong>Sunset bedroom suite: </strong>This
is another generous room with cathedral ceiling and a queen sized bed.
The spacious dressing area leads through to the bathroom with basin,
WC, shower and garden. It has its own pretty patio.</p>
<p align="justify">Across the courtyard and opposite the library is another independent building, <strong>Sunrise bedroom suite: </strong>As
the name suggests, this huge room with its magnificent ceiling and king
size bed faces east, towards Mt Agung, and has double doors opening
onto a raised deck shaded by a flower-festooned pergola. Steps lead
down to the pool and courtyard. There is a big dressing area leading
through to the biggest bathroom of all which, again, is partly open to
the sky and has its own garden. It is equipped with bath, basin, shower
and separate WC.</p>
<p align="justify">All the bedrooms have mosquito nets and full
air-conditioning, though the house is designed to optimise cooling: all
the rooms are shaded by the deep eaves of the alang-alang roofs, and
big windows allow refreshing air to flow through freely. There are
ceiling fans in all rooms including the living areas.</p>
<p align="justify">Additional beds can be supplied, and there is also a
very large comfortable daybed in the living area which would make an
excellent extra bed. Guests who like the idea of sleeping under the
stars could even sleep on the balé!</p>
<p align="justify">The <strong>Basemen</strong>t is reached by steps
from the garden and is a very large room with table tennis table and
space to store extra furniture, suitcases etc.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Staff accommodation</strong> is situated
under the front garden, cleverly cooled by its grass roof. It has its
own entrance from the front courtyard car parking area.</p>
<p align="justify">The villa is built on almost 3000sq.m. (3/4 acre) so
the gardens are generous and have been beautifully planted by a top
professional and are maintained on organic principles.</p>
<p align="justify">Beyond the courtyard and pool, a series of
voluptuous ponds echoing the neighbouring rice fields and planted with
lotus and water lilies cascades down to the orchard, and pretty paths
wind between them. The orchard is planted with, among other fruits:
avocados, pineapples, mangoes, papayas, bananas, jack fruit, durian,
nutmeg, lemons and limes. There is also a herb garden for keen cooks.</p>
<p>The infinity <strong>swimming pool</strong> is 12m. x 4m. plus a
side sitting area. For relaxing there are garden reclining chairs and
big sunshades as well as the pretty balé. There is a built-in barbeque
adjacent to the balé for al fresco cooking and dining.</p>
<p><strong>Services</strong></p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Staff:<br>
</strong>Villa Sebali’s local manager is Rita Dewi, a famous Balinese
dancer. She has excellent English and can help with any problems and
special requests. She will be sure to come to the villa to meet you and
ensure that all is well.<br>
Our senior house staff person is Made (pronounced Madé ) a well
educated young man who also has very good English. As well as having
considerable hotel experience, Made has run a tour company for
individual travellers in Bali so can help with suggestions and plans
for things to see and do.<br>
His assistant is Ayu, a delightful young woman who also has some
English. If your party is very large, we can employ extra staff from
the village.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Catering</strong><br>
Breakfasts – eggs, toasts, fresh fruit and juices, tea and coffee – are
included in the rental and can be served in the dining room or in your
room.<br>
Lunch and dinner are not included, but we can arrange for a cook to
come in, or advise on restaurants which can deliver, at your cost. And
there are dozens – maybe hundreds – of cafes and restaurants within a
20 minute drive of Villa Sebali, from the very modest to top level.<br>
Alternatively, you may use the fully equipped kitchen (hob, oven,
microwave) and the barbeque to cook for yourselves (the staff may well
be willing to help out too). There is an excellent supermarket just 10
minutes away which has a huge range of foods, both European and Asian,
and an organic section. For the adventurous, the market in Ubud
provides all manner of local produce.<br>
There is also an excellent health food shop and cafe in Ubud, just off the main street (Jalan Raya), called Bali Buddha.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Others</strong></p>
<p align="justify">- A locally usable mobile phone will be supplied.<br>
- All linen is provided.<br>
- We have our own well with very good water, perfect for everyday use.
However, as a precaution, filtered drinking water is supplied.</p>
<strong><em>Villa Sebali is a non-smoking house.</em></strong>]]></description>
