ENTRANCE
Casa Evaliza Villa is located in a secure gated area next door to the prestigious ‘Club at The Legian’ and therefore well protected by the Club’s security team as well as the Villa’s own security guards.

The expansive Living & Dining Pavilion is characterised by a soaring ‘alang alang’ thatched roof, cream terrazzo floor, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors that run the length of the building and along one side. These doors can folded open to create an open-air, tropical living experience beside the garden and swimming pool. The pavilion is cooled by six powerful ceiling fans. At one side of the room is a dining table, comfortably seating ten on rattan chairs. The cream walls are adorned with local artwork and the centre of the room is furnished with two cushioned rattan sofas and ottomans, a large coffee table, lamps and an antique Javanese ‘gerobok’ chest on wooden wheels, originally used for storing rice. A romantic, canopied daybed rests in the corner beside an antique table.
