Villa
Asta is entered through an ornately framed wooden
doorway, behind which stands a Balinese Hindu feature known
as the
‘aling aling' – a short screen wall devised
to protect the property from troublesome and malign influences,
because evil spirits have great difficulty in turning corners!
A waterfall cascades into the water producing a “glass like”
view across the pool to the feature bale.
Boasting contemporary
minimalist architecture and a tropical open-living concept
with Balinese influences,
Villa
Asta is comprised
of 4 separate living, dining and sleeping pavilions. The
warm teak wood floors, richly grained coconut wood pillars,
creamy white Palimanan stone terraces, cool marble fixtures,
slate floors, and random rock walls form the dominant components,
juxtaposed against koi (fish) ponds, water spouts and the
natural greenery of Bali's exotic plants.
Villa
Asta is
supported by a carefully selected team of highly trained,
friendly staff who will do their best to ensure that their
guests experience a truly enjoyable stay in Bali . The
team is headed by a villa manager who will oversee and
coordinate the staff and property, and is available to
assist guests during their stay.
The team also includes an in-house chef, butlers, housekeepers, gardeners, and security guards. The chef is trained in the preparation of both local and international cuisine and will prepare delicious meals in accordance with the needs and the whims of the guests. The housekeepers fulfil all of the housekeeping duties with baby-sitting and massage services being availabe upon request and at an extra charge. The services of a car and driver are included in the villa rate to a maximum of ten hours per day.
