• The villa can sleep up to eight adults:
The villa’s two identical master bedrooms each have a king-size bed, and en-suite facilities. Both have air-conditioning as well as ceiling fans - the ceilings are very high, and the climate of Ubud is relatively cool, so the ceiling fans are often sufficient. Each bedroom has huge sliding doors opening onto the lawn in front of the spectacular infinity-edge pool. A baby-cot or a child’s bed can be provided. Additional sleeping accommodation is available, inside a genuine antique Balinese rice barn. The barn has been fitted with a delightful sleeping loft for two. Both ceiling fan and air-conditioning are provided. Below in a cave, is the barn’s private bathroom, reached by steps. This is ideally suited to younger people, due to the steps up and down between the sleeping area and the bathroom. A fourth sleeping area on the mezzanine floor has two single beds, and there are adjoining private facilities. There is a fan, but no air-conditioning. • The rice barn also doubles as the entertainment room - Satellite TV and DVD/Video players are provided. There is a sound system with CD or MP3 capability in the living pavilion.
• A beautiful collector’s-piece ‘sakenam’ pavilion overlooking the rice-terraces, the valley, and distant volcanos is perfect for breakfast, or for just daydreaming. • To reach the villa from the private car park entails a descent of 82 steps – this is what makes the setting of the house unique. No sounds from the road – only the sound of the rushing River Ayung, far below in the valley. We have added a rack-and-pinion funicular lift that carries 4-5 people, which is always available when the steps are daunting. • All 5 of the villa's staff are at guests’ service throughout their stay; they are the supervisor (who is also the chef, and the housekeeper), an assistant (who also drives the van), a housemaid, a gardener, and a night watchman. • A 4-6 seater minivan is based at the villa, and is available for rent by the villa's guests, either as self-drive or with a driver. (Either an INTERNATIONAL Drivers Licence from country of origin, or an ASEAN member country's licence, is required by Indonesian law). • There is an IDD phone, and a fax machine, and a local connection for a laptop can be set up. • There is a Safety Box in the first bedroom. • Meals: breakfast is provided free of charge on the first morning only. Thereafter, breakfast and any other meals can be provided according to guests’ wishes, and provisions for these can be obtained by staff at guests’ expense. There is also a menu, with a variety of Indonesian selections, and some simple international dishes. We also stock some wines. Villa 399 is a 5-minute drive from the centre of Ubud village, where there is a wide choice of restaurants and other facilities. • Airport transfers are arranged at a charge of US$ 20.00 each way. • As this is normally the owners’ residence, there is a beautiful 4-year-old Golden Retriever living at the villa. She is very gentle, and is looked after by the staff. It is possible to arrange for her to be taken elsewhere during a guest’s stay. From the Villa's Guestbook “The immense beauty of this Villa is captivating.” “Everything here is beautiful in its thoughtfulness and harmony with nature.” “I find it hard to believe that anything could be better than this place. Full of beauty, serenity, and comfort.” “Absolute bliss! We've never been treated so well. Friendly staff and excellent food (by Dayu!).” “The only problem with Villa 399 is that you eventually have to leave, which is so difficult.”
