Villa Griya Koeno is a stunning, 3 bedroom, beachside villa that celebrates the history and grandeur of Dutch colonial Indonesia, and is a place of supreme taste and refinement. Designed by a Dutch and Indonesian couple, the authentic colonial style mixed with Indonesian antiques presents a rich and creative combination of the 2 cultures. From its recycled ironwood floors, time-honoured stained glass doors and louvered shutters, to its spectaculair iron panelled ceiling (designed in 1800) in the kitchen and dining room, to the antique ceramic light switches and door handles and antique chandeliers and ceiling fans Villa Griya Koeno captures the nostalgic architectural heritage of a bygone age. The entrance way features a grand staircase and large antique French doors, with their original glass, have been used throughout the house and a large, covered, marble terrace veranda with plenty of antique tables and chairs runs the length of the house downstairs. Accomodation includes three air-conditioned bedrooms, complete with glamorous ensuite bathrooms, a spacious study, a living room and a dining area incorporating a fully equipped feature kitchen, and a large and open upstairs sitting and bar area, the perfect place for an evening cocktail and to watch a beautiful Bali sunset. |
