The open-air living room

Situated in the heart of the property, the open-air living room with its innovative two-tiered cathedral roof, coconut wood pillars and open rafters, is graced with immaculate, white cushioned sofas and a number of splendid antiques. A Buddha statue resting upon high in a lancet arched alcove, flanked by vases of tropical flowers, forms a striking centrepiece. Indeed, this carefully crafted and decorated room easily earns its place as the nexus of the property, and is ideal for entertaining and relaxing. Leading off from the living room, and surrounded by a goldfish pond, is a fully enclosed study, providing an air-conditioned sanctuary in which to escape from the tropical heat. The fitted dark wood shelves hold an impressive collection of books, which are freely available for the use of the guests. The villa possesses a number of precious amenities including satellite television reception, together with an extensive video and music library containing over four hundred CDs.
