An ambience of simplicity, yet warmth, has been created by the use of teak and local stone. In the decor, the subtle colours of local wood, terracotta and woven materials, prevail. A well known Garden Architect was used to take adventage of the land's sloping character and the river front to create a natural environment with a variety of tropical trees, palms, fragrant flower and ferns.
Water
is an important part of Bali and also to Villa Pangi Gita. The
upper part has still ponds as well as softly running water ponds
and the lower part with its river front and light rapids deliver
pleasing sounds to both guests bedrooms, master bedroom pavilion
and pool area.
The
master suite has a walk-in dressing room, a large bathroom with
a tub for two facing the 'exercise deck' and garden. It is fully
air-conditioned, has a Queen size four-posted bed, TV, Video,
CD player, hair dryer and safe. The exterior breakfast area,
overlooking the lower end of the gardens and pool, is for enjoying
plants and fragrances. The location of the master suite gives
'distance' to guests and quiet privacy.
The
two separate air-conditioned guest pavilions are similar. The
Balinese style bathroom faces a lush and totally private tropical
garden. As in all pavilions the high ceilings with its characteristic
beam structure and teak give character and space. A covered
verandah with a day bed, provides shady open air relaxation.
Queen size four-posted bed, TV, Video, CD player, hair dryer
and safe are supplied.
The
spacious, cathedral room open living pavilion with its richly
cushioned seating area, provides a comfortable lounging/entertaining
space. Its centrepiece is a large Han (100BC) terracotta Horse.
A Javanese Bronze Budha, gives serenity to the base wall. The
'Study Pavilion' gives an air-conditioned alternative living
room should there be a need to escape the heat. It can also
be fully opened to enjoy the pond giving one the impression
of floating on water. It has a seating area for TV, reading
and music with an antique desk. The stereo CD system for the
living area, dining and pool bale is controlled from here. A
varied collection of CD's and books are available as well as
VCD'c and a fax.
The
Villa Pngi Gita staff consists of a cook, two maids, a guard
and a gardener. Additional staff are brought in should there
be six people in residence. The staff does not reside on the
property.
