Imagine a series of terraces, water trickling slowly down through fish-filled ponds towards the idling river below. Overlay a line of glistening whitewashed pavilions roofed with ironwood singles; gardens of ginger, helonicia, miniature palms and ferns stepping down to a half-hidden free-form pool on the river’s edge; the sound of water spouting from intricately carved stone faces, and the distant music of a small waterfall: This should give you a good picture of the delightful Villa Pangi Gita and its rich green Balinese garden, waiting to envelop you in a sleepy calm – yawn!

Immaculately maintained and finished, Villa Pangi Gita stands out as a beautifully designed villa very much in sympathy with its surroundings and its Balinese heritage. Each pavilion – wood floors, tall teak fold-back doors, stone walls and vaulted ceilings with woven bamboo linings – is spotless, courtesy of the dedicated staff. Antiques from around Asia provide an elegant touch of style. The three double bedrooms each stand alone with screens of thick foliage providing privacy; semi-outdoor bathrooms add a warm tropical feel. A TV room, an open-sided living room and simple poolside balé (gazebo) provide numerous places to chill, but perhaps the best seat in the house is the single recliner on the deck overlooking the river and the paddies beyond.

The surrounding village of Pererenan is tiny, yet the villa staff are drawn from here and nearby villages. Their broad smiles always accompany the service – whether it’s dinner in the raised dining room with its elegant views of the gardens, breakfast at the casual kitchen bar, drinks in the living room or on the private terraces that accompany each bedroom (provisions are on guest account), or a chilled towel by the pool. This charming yet very discrete service together with the wonderful setting is sure to relax even the most hardened workaholic – expect to unwind here. Pangi is the name of the river and Gita means ‘song’ – it’s a lovely name for a truly lovely villa.

Stone staircases and stepping stones sunk into manicured squares of lawn lead from the beautiful carved Balinese entrance past a series of pavilions down to the kidney shaped free-form 12m pool at the river’s edge.

All three bedroom pavilions are air conditioned and feature queen-sized teak beds with mosquito net canopies, small satellite channel TV/DVD players and a semi-private terrace with daybeds and chairs. Vaulted ceilings lined with bamboo, teak framed doors and panelled floorboards give the rooms a lovely natural feel and contrast well with the encircling gardens.

Furthest from the pool are the two guest bedrooms. Their ensuite bathrooms have tubs enveloped in teak and brass rain showers open to the sky, surrounded by traditional lichen-covered brick walls over two metres tall for complete privacy – save the odd passing bird. The master suite sits adjacent to the pool; double sliding teak doors reveal a large bathroom with oversized tiled bath and separate walk-in shower, plus a huge walk-in closet.

Between the bedrooms, at the centre of the villa, is an open sided living room dominated by a stone Buddha and with a tall traditional Balinese two-tier roof for air circulation – aided by overhead fans. Terrazzo floors and encroaching gardens keep it cool with bamboo screens to keep out the weather. Leading off the living room is the enclosed air conditioned study/TV room. Books, games and jigsaws are stored on the wall-length bookcase whilst a wide-screen TV with satellite connection and a good selection of DVDs and CDs provide entertainment for a rainy day. Opposite is the dining room, raised to admire the surroundings. Teak-framed glass doors can be opened on three sides to let in the sounds and smells of the gardens, with a fan to provide cooling; alternatively the doors can be closed for air conditioned comfort. Through a low-framed carved door (watch your head!) is a simple but well equipped kitchen with a casual breakfast bar and top-class coffee machine!
