Informazioni su questa struttura

Spaziosa, colorata casa di Bali Artistico per affitto a breve termine

Questa casa da sogno tropicale a Bali, situata a Padanggalak, 3 chilometri a nord di Sanur, è quella che io e mio marito Mel chiamiamo il nostro "terzo figlio" (abbiamo anche 2 ragazzi). Costruire il nostro matrimonio interculturale, abbiamo scelto di fondere l'atmosfera all'aperto e materiali tropicali di Java nativo di Mel con il legno a vista, piano piano aperto, e soffitti cattedrale dei vecchi fienili mia nativa rurale Massachusetts.

Prima di costruire, avevamo passato anni a vivere in case in affitto a Bali, quindi eravamo chiari su ciò che volevamo evitare; il tipo di villa che si vede in tutta l'isola che è costruita per sembrare romantica (all'aperto, senza porte, tetti di paglia) ma è in realtà molto poco pratica. Provenendo dal New England, dove gli inverni sono rudi, ho sempre pensato ai tropici come gentili, ma quelle case mi hanno insegnato diversamente. Con il caldo e l'umidità arrivano insetti, polvere, zanzare, formiche, muffe, gechi, fumo di campi in fiamme e un ritmo di decadimento molto veloce. Nelle case aperte non c'era modo di tenere fuori la natura. Le zanzare entrarono come volevano loro, la paglia profumava e cadeva sul pavimento, ei gechi che vivevano nella paglia davano il loro tempo libero. Durante la stagione delle piogge tutto si bagnerebbe. E passeremmo buona parte della giornata a pulire!

Armati del nostro concetto e di un elenco di cose da evitare, abbiamo scelto l'architetto balinese Ketut Arthana. Riconosciuto a livello internazionale, Ketut ha una reputazione per l'ottimizzazione e la gestione dello spazio. Ha immediatamente capito la nostra visione. Mise i soffitti alti come un granaio, ma aggiunse varietà alla linea del tetto usando le travi esposte a croce a croce tipicamente balinesi e abbassando leggermente il tetto della cucina. Ha raccomandato la piastrella sopra il tetto per la sua resistenza, qualità e facilità di manutenzione, e abbiamo scoperto che rivestendo il lato inferiore della piastrella con il rattan intrecciato in cestello, abbiamo ottenuto un effetto simile morbido e naturale, ma senza i problemi. Ketut ha posizionato finestre e porte scorrevoli giganti in vetro per tutto il perimetro, fornendo alla casa luce e aria aperta durante il giorno e protezione da insetti, vento, acqua e polvere durante la notte e durante le tempeste. Sopra queste porte, Ketut aggiunto un anello di sottili finestre rettangolari per la ventilazione e stile.

Una volta che i disegni sono stati fatti, abbiamo preso il comando. Mel ha supervisionato il processo di costruzione e ho progettato l'interno. Piuttosto che cercare di far rientrare la casa in una categoria (rustica, moderna, contemporanea ...), ho semplicemente fatto ciò che ho trovato bello. Il risultato è un mix di influenze, tra cui primitivo e moderno, vecchio e nuovo, grezzo e finito. Il mio amore per il colore messicano ha influenzato le mie scelte di pittura, e ho scelto mobili in legno vecchi, robusti e semplici come quelli degli Shaker e della vecchia Java.

Sono stato sollevato quando, alla fine, tutto si è unito.

Il colore è un tema importante. Lo spazio abitativo principale ha un pavimento color crema in contrasto con due pareti audaci di papaya-arancio e un altro di marinaio blu. Le finestre di ventilazione tengono monete di vetro colorato incorniciate in teak, dando calore e bagliori all'intero spazio. I pavimenti della cucina e della camera da letto sono riccamente colorati in tradizionali piastrelle di cemento in stile olandese. E più rossi, blu, gialli e verdi scorrono attraverso le vetrate verticali incassate lungo le scale.

I colori vivaci sono fondati su materie prime naturali e neutre, creando ciò che l'architetto Yew Kwan ha definito famoso come "primitivo stile alto". Alberi di teak grezzi incorniciano la cucina e fungono da pilastri sulla terrazza; Balaustre a forma di Y e balaustre in teak formano le ringhiere lungo le scale e il balcone; grandi lastre di ardesia e pietre di marmo formano un mosaico sulla parete del bagno principale; e le pietre grigie consumate del fiume forniscono il drenaggio dove la casa incontra la terra. Un mosaico di pietra capricciosa di animali tropicali costeggia la veranda.

All'esterno, la proprietà è circondata da un recinto giallo senape traboccante di fiori. Giardini verdeggianti confine delle mura. Una piscina a terrazze di riso si riempie un angolo, mentre lussureggianti mango, palme e alberi di frangipane creano ombrelloni contro il sole.

E si può vedere il mare dalla casa! La stanza del terzo piano non era nei disegni, ma un giorno Mel si rese conto che poteva vedere il mare dall'alto delle travi. Così abbiamo alzato il tetto e aggiunto una stanza in più, che funge da rifugio in alto, per la meditazione, lo yoga o la scrittura, o per i bambini piccoli a giocare.

Negli ultimi anni, Mel e io siamo tornati negli Stati Uniti per l'educazione dei nostri figli. Da allora abbiamo affittato la casa, ma torniamo a casa ogni "inverno" per goderci e prenderci cura di lei.

Un affittuario dice: "Questa casa ha un calore, grazia e talento, ma è anche una casa molto vivibile, pacifica e rilassante, e anche favolosa per intrattenere, e molto comoda per Sanur, Denpasar e Ubud. Molti ricordi felici sono stati fatti in quella casa e vogliamo tornare di nuovo se possiamo. "

Wonderful stay in secluded paradise

We LOVED our stay at Anni's villa. Her communication was exceptional and answered all of my questions promptly. The house was amazing - clean, spacious and a wonderful feel to it. The garden and pool were incredible and we loved spending time in it. Eka and Sis were so helpful and lovely. Thank you so much.

An amazing relaxing oasis

This property is truly amazing! Not only is the villa spacious, beautiful and clean (the pool and gardens are the die for), but the villa staff Eka and Sis are wonderful as well. Eka’s cooking is amazing (very large portions) and they were always available to help with any request. The only downside to this villa is that it is a bit further out of town then expected which was hard with small kids, but it’s an easy $7 cab ride to get there. We would definitely itely stay here again!

Wonderful villa

This villa is just wonderful and just as described in the listing. Lot's of space and garden is lovely with a very nice pool. Contact with owner was easy and smooth. Eka & Sis who took care of the house did a great job and made great breakfast for us. Area is very quiet and it should be noted that you can get to Sanur and other locations with a cheap taxi ride or renting a scooter if you feel comfortable driving yourself in the hectic traffic.

Es wurde sogar noch extra ein Kabel für uns verlegt, da wir nicht nur entspannen wollten, sondern auch wichtige Online-Arbeitstermine hatten. Die Villa und die Ausstattung sind sehr sehr schön. Ein idealer Platz auch für digitale Nomaden. Eka uns Sis haben uns wunderbar betreut und für Ordnung und Sauberkeit gesorgt.

The best haven for family

This beautiful villa was everything I hope my Bali holidays would be. It was perfectly designed and served for family to relax and enjoy their stay. The villa is very well built with lovely art and wood details, made you feel so close to nature and Indonesian culture. The service that Sis and Eka provide was way and beyond I expected. I would definitely love to come back and encourage my friend to come and experience this villa.

Large beautiful well maintained home

This huge beautifully decorated and well maintained home located just north of Sanur is an amazing get away! The pictures don’t deceive, they are 100% accurate even after 2+ years of COVID. We needed space to spread out and were very pleased with the size of the home. Owners were prompt in responding to messages and replaced the master AC within 2 days (crazy fast for Bali). The pool was perfect for small children with a large shallow end and far enough away from the house I didn’t have to worry about our daughter jumping in alone. Also, plenty of space to park both our car and motorbike. This home will surely not disappoint!

We all loved this house and property!! Perfect for our family of 5. AC and good beds made for a good nights sleep. The pictures don’t lie! The pool was so nice to enjoy. The owners were easy to communicate with and very helpful with all our questions. The caretakers, Sis & Eka took good care of the house and us. We enjoyed Eka’s cooking, everything was delicious! We would definitely stay here again♥️

Incredible property with wonderful staff

I stayed here January of 2016 and thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. The house is uniquely beautiful, with big, open rooms, unique artsy touches, and a lovely surrounding property. The pool is perfect for relaxation and the grounds are private and impeccably maintained. It's close to everything Bali offers- beaches, treks, culture, etc. Kasek and Sis are both amazing people, with big hearts and a genuine desire to ensure we enjoyed our stay. The day before my fight I awoke very sick and the wonderful Kadek never left my side- massaging my back, adjusting my pillows, rubbing my burning forehead, and literally spoon feeding me her delicious cooking. She later accompanied me to the hospital, directing the taxi driver and hospital staff, making sure I was comfortable the entire time. What would have been a miserable last day in Bali was significantly eased by her unbelievable kindness. I am so grateful to have enjoyed this delightful rental; thank you Anni and Mel xx

Beautiful relaxing oasis in Bali

We had a wonderful week at this beautiful Bali house in September. The house is beautifully designed with lots of open spaces where the wind can blow through easily. The garden is absolutely stunning, colorful and well maintained. The pool is very relaxing. The house is a great place to hang out with books and games as well. The bedroom was very comfortable and the bed great for a good night sleep. We also made several trips to the nearby beach by taxi and we went on an all day trip to Ubud. You need transportation to do things. Kadek, the housekeeper is absolutely lovely and kind and prepared breakfast and several other special meals for us. She knew we love fruits, so she was able to get us all the in season local fruits. She also made the most delicious smoothies for us. Unfortunately her English is very limited, like with many people in Indonesia.

Spacious, Amazing Chef, Lush Grounds, Centric

My wife and I have traveled the world a few times over and rented a lot of places in the middle east, asia, europe. And our stay in Bali was one of the best experiences. We stayed here (May/June 2015) and enjoyed every minute. From the beautiful pool, privacy, many artistic touches, and Wati, an amazing, kind hearted chef (which is a unique treasure of this rental). You'll enjoy the many local dishes Wati creates. We even hired her for some cooking classes. Grounds and rooms were kept pristine and the house had everything we could of asked for (except for being located directly on the beach). We used Blue Bird taxi to go everywhere and booked a driver for a longer excursions to temples on the other side of Bali. Location is terrifically centric and accessible to the airport, Ubud, beach clubs, and the dozens of other places to see on this enchanting island. You can even book a in-home massage if you wish. I highly recommend renting this home without hesitation.

Relaxing with a lovely Balinese atmosphere

Good communications with the owner during the booking process. Stayed with our family consisting of two teenage children (aged 17 and 19). Met by Wati who is a very professional host. Wati is a great cook and we always enjoyed her meals at night time. The house is not far from Sanur, an easy taxi ride (which Wati always organized for us). We loved the house, its views from upstairs as well as the peace and quite around the garden/pool area. The house is very clean and tidy. A thoroughly enjoyable stay. Rosemarie Visser and family

Lovely houe

We were two couple looking for some extra space for our stay in Bali. The house was lovely and there was lots of private space throughout the house. The garden was peaceful and we ended up having our private wedding ceremony there. It was a good alternative to a beach wedding. We also enjoyed the pool to cool down in and Wati the housekeeper was a lot of help with taxis and our all our questions.

Absolutely Beautiful

Myself, husband and 3 children (15, 13 & 7) stayed at the house for 8 nights. It was nothing less than perfect. The house had all the space we required and more. Photos show exactly how inviting this home is. I call it 'home' because that is the feel you get from the moment you step inside the front gate. The grounds were meticulously manicured and the entire home was extremely clean. The staff where very accommodating and helpful. We had such a wonderful time at the home. Highly recommend this home to anyone travelling to Bali - all ages!

Nicest vacation rental we've ever had

We've stayed in places all over the world and this was by far the nicest place we've ever rented. The pics, descriptions and other reviews say it well. And you're close enough to all the sights and attractions of Bali but removed from some of the craziness. And you get at least a little taste of life outside the tourist zone by roaming the residential streets where the villa is. For those who worry about such things, we weren't the least bit concerned about safety--even with our 2 beautiful teenage daughters along. And once you figure out how to book taxis etc., it's very easy to come and go. By all means, take up the chance to have Wati (the housekeeper etc.) cook some local food for you. The meals she prepared were definitely the best we had all week. Many of the restaurants in the tourist ghetto serve the same things with the spice levels pulled way back. The food Wati prepared was amazing! We can't recommend highly enough booking the Bali tropical house for a wonderful respite in this beautiful part of the world! Best of all are the many sitting areas where you're serenaded with the sounds of tropical birds, the crowing roosters, and sights of the ocean from the top floor studio. This is truly an oasis.

VRAIMENT EXCELLENT

Cette maison nous a comblé. L'ensemble de cette villa est très bien agencé, elle dispose d'un coin de vie spacieux avec une vue sur le jardin paysagé qui vous donne l'impression d’être a la fois dehors et dedans! Les deux suites des parents sont décorées avec beaucoup de gout. La villa est située a deux pas de Sanur dans un quartier résidentiel très calme. Wati est la personne qui s'occupe de l'intendance. Sa discrétion et ses talents culinaires nous ont permis de découvrir des plats(spécialités indonésiennes) qui ont fait frétiller nos papilles...encore merci wati! Si je devais donner une adresse a des amis proches se serait sans hésiter celle là! We've spent one week in this lovely villa! All was perfect. Thank you to anni and mel.

Charming, comfortable and relaxing

Four of us - 2 mothers and 2 adult daughters - stayed here for 2 weeks. We could not have asked for a better introduction to Bali. The owners were very responsive to all my questions and concerns about the property when I was still trying to decide where to stay. The house itself is beautiful and very comfortable. A huge bonus is their lovely housekeeper, Wati, who keeps everything spotless and is a wonderful cook as well and Sis, the gardener, who unobtrusively keeps the garden and pool beautiful and, who I suspect does a number of other things to keep everything working and comfortable. My one concern, the fact that the house was not within walking distance of the beach or even much in the way of restaurants and shops, turned out to be a non-issue. When I was there I checked out a few of the other properties I had considered renting that were on the beach in Sanur. I came to the conclusion that my choice to stay in Anni and Mel's house had been a very wise decision. The beach houses were in noisy, crowded areas that weren't very pleasant. Besides, transportation (taxis, and/or a car and driver for longer excursions) to and from every place we wanted to go was quick easy and very inexpensive. And, the best part is that when we got back in the evening, there was a lovely garden and pool waiting for us as well as a delicious supper! We were very happy and would recommend this house to anyone. We would love to go back ourselves!

The best of our trip

We stayed in this house for 5 weeks and we loved our stay. The house is absolutely adoreable. It is beautiful, peaceful and very personal. We were two small swedish families (one baby each) that stayed in the house. It is easy to share the house with another couple or small family because it is two big separate bedrooms with two bathrooms each. There is also an extra room for older kids and an open area to hang out together in. The house is perfect for young kids. The garden is beautiful with a lovely swimmingpool. The house itself is very balinese and feels genuine. Wati, our housekeeper was brilliant, she was so good with the babies and she made our stay unforgetable. Her food is a must to try. She cooked javanese food for us every day and it was even better than in restaurants. The owner was very flexible and helpful before our arrival and during our stay. We went travelling for three months in Asia and this was the higlight of our vacation. Stay there! And say hello to Wati from us. You will love this place!

Amazing stay!

I stayed here with two other colleagues for one week. We were doing work in Benoa Harbour and wanted somewhere quiet and lovely to relax after long days at work. This house is so beautiful. The two large bedrooms are incredible, each with their own ensuite. The pool is so refreshing and the garden is beautiful. Wati and Sis were both friendly and helpful. Wati's cooking is sublime. I would give this 10 stars if I could. Also, the owners are great - had email contact with them both. You can't go wrong with this house! If I am back in Bali for work again I will definitely stay here.

Fantastic house - more like a home - even nicer than the pictures promise

We were three generations coming together in this house, and it was a perfect place to spend quality time. The space was just so beautiful, and the rooms even more lovely than photos can say. The best thing was that it felt like a home - probably because it is a real home, to a real family (who has now moved elsewhere but still manages the house very closely). As a result, everything "works", not just as functionally, but as in the spaces work. Kids can jump and run around (did they ever!), sit and draw, swing in the hammock and last but not least; swim in the pool! Which has enough shade AND light, and different depths for different sizes. My kids were just so happy going between these different spaces and activities, which gave the adults a chance to relax in any of the comfortable chairs and overlook the gorgeous garden. Then there is the food... The maid is delightful and a gorgeous cook. The owner went out of her way to help us out with tips and toys. As the descriptions state, transport is needed. If you want to go anywhere, taxis are readily available. We took 10 minutes to the beach in low traffic and over double in heavy traffic. The house is set in a suburban area among other houses (and cows and chickens, which is the charm of Bali). Since one of our children is very young, it would have been great to be able to just "pop out" and immediately be somewhere, but for others this is probably just an issue. When we did go out, no matter how nice the place was, it was always lovely to come home. I think that is one of the highest commendations I can give a place.

Wow!

We booked six months in advance of our arrival to Bali. Prior to arrival the owners were great communicators, answering all of our questions promptly and giving us excellent ideas to enhance our vacation. The house was beyond belief, and the staff was superb. Taxi service excellent and cheap to anywhere you want to go. The 500 thread count sheets and king size bed allowed us to rest with ease. Air conditioning if needed. The bustling neighborhood offered anything you needed, especially fresh coconut milk for our daily refreshment. Cooking by Wati was delightful. The house was very clean and comfortable, delightfully decorated with the local flair, open walls and fresh air. The pool was refreshing and so nice to always be able to hop in for a swim any time of day or night. Yoga and pilates on the lawn are a must, along with reading in the hammock. I read in previous review about barking dogs, yes, they are there, but now know that the owners have tamed the dog it was no bother at all. It was just another extension of the Bali graciousness. Three Monkey's, great restaurant. Comfort, luxury, safety, an all around A+ for the house and the vacation.

stunningly colofrul, artistic and spacious bali house for rent

Beautiful house, superb staff. Clean and well-maintained. Very helpful owners. Anyone sensitive to barking dogs may not be happy here.

10/10 Eccellente

Blissful !

What a wonderful way to really sink into the rhythm of life on Bali! Our eyes were soothed by the open floor plan of the house, beautiful stained glass windows, natural wood beams and railings, esthetic and comfortable furniture, and the shaded view of the lush gardens. Our bare feet enjoyed the cool floors and the green lawn on the way to the sparkling pool. Our meals were so easy to prepare in the well appointed kitchen and our nights were spent dreaming in the quiet rooms upstairs. We sigh as we remember and hope to return to the Maliki home once again.

Host: Anni Crofut

Mel grew up in east Java while I grew up in New England, USA. We met when I taught ESL as a volunteer at a university in east Java, and Mel was my student. I was 24. Mel was 21. We have lived together in Boston, Bali and now the Berkshires in western MA. We have two boys, Zephyr and Kaylo. We make our living selling silver jewelry that Anni designs, all hand made by two artisans in Bali, who work very near our Bali house. Every year we spend several months in Bali so that I can design and work with our silversmiths.

Perché ha scelto questa struttura

We built this house for ourselves in 2004. At the time, we did not intend to rent it. It was our baby, and we expected to live in it for decades. But life throws us surprises, and we wound up moving to the US for our kids' educations in 2007, returning every winter tio the house so that we can re-connect with our community there and I can design. We chose the area because it is convenient while still quiet, and because the 'Banjar' system in this village is not as strong as in many Balinese villages. This makes it friendlier to non-Balinese, while still being very real (neither touristy nor gentrified). As Mel is Javanese and I am American, this suits our family. Also, it is conveniently located to Sanur, Denpasar, Ubud and the highway to east Bali.

Cosa rende unica questa struttura

Sis, our gardener & grounds keeper of 17 years, is a wonderfully honest, kind, loyal and diligent employee and friend. He does not live at the house but he comes daily to work to clean the pool, tend to the gardens, lawn, buildings and property. He is very responsive and attentive to tenants' needs and wishes.

Eka (Sis' wife) also comes daily to the house to clean and do laundry. She is also an excellent cook of Indonesian food with a full list of her menu options printed in the Welcome Notebook at the house. Eka is available to cook for you for a reasonable price (not included in the rental fee. You would pay her independently for this service. SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS). All food expenses are the tenants' responsibility, but Eka can do much of the shopping at local markets for you. If you wish for Eka to cook for you, we will help you arrange this.

FEES FOR EKA’s COOKING LUNCH AND/OR DINNER:

If you decide you would like Eka to prepare lunch and/or dinner, she charges a fee of rp. 150,000 (about $10) per meal (lunch is considered one meal, dinner is one meal) which you will need to pay her at the end of each day she cooks. In addition, you will need to pay her for all food expenses which you can do either before or after she shops. Eka can buy many of the ingredients from local markets but for more rarified ingredients, you will need to buy these yourselves. Please communicate your menu choices to Eka the day before, so that she can shop early in the morning the next day (the markets close at 9am,

*TIPPING SIS AND EKA AT THE END OF YOUR STAY:

For Eka’s morning food preparation, cleaning, laundry and for Sis’ work in the garden and house, we request that you please offer both Sis and Eka a tip at the end of your stay. For a stay under 10 days we recommend $30 each. For longer than 10 days we recommend $60 each. Thank you! They will greatly appreciate this.
