The Old Silk Road

Just a short ten-minute walk from the beach, you’ll find this charming Balinese-style villa, surrounded by shops, cafes, and restaurants. Or just relax in the private lush garden and cool off from the Bali sun in the gorgeous pool with its Buddha fountain. There are only two sun loungers here, but there are other seating areas such as the deck with its bean bags. The outdoors definitely blends with the indoors, as this traditional-style home's living space is open to the garden (there are only rattan blinds, no windows) – so you get fresh air all day long.

Home truths:
*This is a traditional Balinese-style villa, so the living space has no windows, just rattan blinds (the rest of the home has windows, such as the bedroom and bathrooms).
*Two bedrooms are downstairs and have access to the garden. One is fitted with a double bed and the other with twin beds configurable into a king-size double bed upon request.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance.
*There are only two sunbeds, but there are other seating areas.
*The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
*If you're hiring a car, there's parking here.
