Villa Sagitta: Peace & tranquility with magnificent river gorge views

Villa Sagitta, situated in Pejeng, Ubud in Bali, can be rented as a three bedroom villa (sleeping up to six people) or as four bedrooms, sleeping up to eight people. There is also a baby cot, and a camp cot, available for infants and small children at no extra charge. Villa Sagitta is about peace, relaxation and serenity. It is positioned at the top of a river gorge, with magnificent views across indigenous Balinese forest. Pejeng – the area of Ubud where the villa is located – is famous for its important and historic temples. The villa has its own private temple on the property, as well as a beautiful ancient temple a mere 100 metres away. Immersed in spirituality, it is impossible not to relax! Central Ubud is 7km away (approximately a 15 minute drive through magnificent scenery). The double storey villa is furnished in an eclectic mix of contemporary design and magnificent Balinese antiques. On the lower level is the open-plan lounge, dining room and separate kitchen. This area leads out onto an undercover patio, the infinity swimming pool and the garden. The third bedroom and en-suite bathroom are also on this level with double doors leading out onto the patio and pool. The upper level has two spacious bedrooms, with full-length glass window frontage, balconies and private bathrooms. The main bedroom also has an undercover Balinese bale for relaxing. We have recently added a beautiful joglo suite to the property, which is situated slightly away from the main house as a separate pavilion. A joglo is a traditional Javanese house identified by its distinctive roof design. It is made entirely of wood and uses no nails in the construction. It usually has magnificent carvings on the ceiling, and the two-hundred year-old example at Villa Sagitta is no exception. We have enclosed it with walls on three side but the front has been left open to embrace the magnificent river valley views. The bathroom is outdoors but covered. The shower is completely private but open to the stars. We can promise you a truly unique experience when staying in the Joglo suite.
