Built on a large tree-lined plot, Lataliana comprises a charming 2 bedroom villa featuring a traditional Balinese lumbung, and a majestic 5 bedroom villa. Accessed from a private entrance off a quiet leafy street, the two villas enjoy first class service from an experienced team of staff, gourmet cuisine, extensive facilities and round the clock security.
The comforts of a private home in one of the most stylish villa complexes in Bali and a range of services that allow individuals to tailor their own holidays, add to the allure of Lataliana. Warm, generous hospitality, the ultimate private getaway, a modern take on beautiful Balinese architecture and landscaping are what make this property a great one. The two properties can be enjoyed independently or as an exclusive 7 bedroom holiday villa.
OVERVIEW
Lataliana II’s main single-storey building stretches the full length of the garden like a Bornean longhouse, comprising the master bedroom with its en-suite bathroom, and an expansive open-plan living and dining room with a kitchenette at one end.
On the opposite side of the pool is a stand-alone two-storey building constructed in the architectural style of a traditional lumbung or rice granary with a distinctive bonnet-shaped roof. On the upper floor is a large bedroom, while the ground floor presents a tiny kitchenette and an indoor-outdoor bathroom. Built into the lumbung, sheltered by a roof and overlooking the pool, is an elevated, open-sided relaxation space.
MASTER BEDROOM
The spacious air-conditioned master bedroom has a non-slip acid marble floor and bay-shaped French windows that fold open to the swimming pool. Equipped with a satellite-channel TV, Blu-ray disc player, iPod dock and ceiling fan, the room is furnished with a king-size bed, reading lamps, and cabinets crafted from the recycled wood of an old phinisi schooner. The ceiling is fitted with runners that support an innovative retractable mosquito net, which forms a curtain around the bed. The large en-suite bathroom is light and airy, featuring a non-slip floor, twin washbasins, hanging and storage space, a freestanding bathtub for two, and a walk-in rain shower and toilet in separate cubicles, both of which open on one side to the fresh air.
LUMBUNG BEDROOM
Designed with children or teenagers in mind (but equally suitable for a family happy to share their space), the lumbung offers a fully air-conditioned, two-level bedroom that can comfortably accommodate four (2 adults & 2 children). Here, a king-size bed converts to a pair of twins, a double bed reminiscent of a ship’s berth is built into the wall, and two sofas (one of which provides two single mattresses) are positioned on a mezzanine accessed via a solid wooden ladder. The bedroom’s timber floor extends through sliding glass doors onto a wooden balcony overlooking the garden and pool and framed by the bonnet-shaped roof. The bedroom is equipped with a satellite-channel TV, Blu-ray disc player, iPod dock and ceiling fan. The bathroom is located downstairs and fitted with a single washbasin and toilet, a non-slip floor, a unit with hanging and storage space, and a funky wall mirror that literally makes a splash with its water-splatter design. Glass doors lead to a pebble-floored private courtyard with an open-air rain shower featuring a terrazzo splash back in the shape of a surfboard. A tiny kitchenette on the ground floor is equipped with a fridge and sink.
LIVING, DINING AND KITCHEN
The main room is open-plan with air-conditioning, ceiling fans, and a non-slip floor throughout, yet it features two distinct areas: the living room under a high pitched roof with a skylight and glass doors front and back, and the dining room and kitchenette under a flat roof. The living space is furnished with huge and exceptionally comfortable sofa-style daybeds with deep cushions, a coffee table and a pool table, and equipped with a satellite channel TV, Blu-ray disc player and iPod dock. The dining area is furnished with a square table for eight. Adjacent to this, the kitchenette is built into the end wall and fitted with a marble worktop and a two-burner gas hob. It is equipped with a fridge, Nespresso coffee machine (available upon request), and cupboards filled with quality glassware and crockery. This kitchenette is for guest use while Lataliana’s superb cuisine is prepared in the enclave’s professional kitchen, which is the domain of the chefs.
Sliding glass doors from the living area open onto the timber pool deck, which is partially sheltered by a pergola roof. Another set of glass doors beside the kitchen area open to a pretty patio with just enough space for a circular table and two chairs guarded by an ancient frangipani tree.
GARDEN AND POOL
The 15-metre free-form swimming pool curves across the flat lawn, bordering both the lumbung and main house with steps on either side. The garden is filled with shrubs and colorful bougainvillea, parlour palms, lipstick palms and travelers’ palms, two gnarled and ancient frangipanis, a butterfly tree and one of the tall, mature trees from the villa takes its name. Sheltered underneath the balcony of the lumbung is a large open-sided relaxation space filled with mattresses and cushions. A barbecue is also provided.
