Villa Olesha
General Introduction
The picturesque Villa Olesha beckons the visitor from a tall artistic tower with arches and a stained glass wall. A terracotta sun-face makes the approaching visitor feel that he is to enter a very special place located among the emerald green paddy fields. The entrance level of the sprawling property, designed with Balinese architecture and an Indian touch, welcomes the visitor with statues of elegant Balines ladies holding flower- pots atop their heads. The car passes along the coconut, mango and other fruit trees to reach the garage where the staff receives the visitor against the backdrop of a magnificently sculpted Javanese door.
Master Suite
The Master Suite, measuring 16m long and 5m wide, comprises the bedroom, lounge and entertainment sections. Beautifully decorated niches on one side and a view to the courtyard on the other side. The lounge area, separated by curtains, has a 3m x 2m single block inlaid green marble floor with mirrors on the ceiling covering the air-conditioners. On one side of the lounge, is the indoor-outdoor en-suite bathroom and the wardrobe. The lounge also merges into the entertainment section with a giant TV screen providing satellite TV, DVD, LCD, VCR and BOSE surround music for a home theatre. A library is on the left side. The right side opens to a colorfully tiled verandah with relaxing cane chairs for a view of the water fountain in the center of the courtyard.
Guest Bedrooms
Coming down the stairs from the first floor lounge, the colonnade leads to the two guest bedrooms located on one side of the garden. Air-conditioned with mosquito nets, the rooms are charmingly decorated with painting and lovely statues in the en-suite indoor-outdoor toilet and bathroom. A large wardrobe with safety box and a writing desk with chair complete the furniture arrangement.
In between the two guest bedrooms is a daybed for lounging and to appreciate the manicured garden with exotic white hand crafted statues.
Master Bedrooms
The colonnade leads to the master bedroom with beautiful Indian and Balinese paintings on the right side walls and passing through a charming entry with a stone carved screen on the left. The large Master bedroom with wide sliding glass doors opens to the swimming pool on one side and a wooden deck on the other. It is invigorating to slip into the pool and relaxing to sit out on the deck to view the waterfall and the fountains.
Through the two windows on either side of the large bed, one can see the dance and hear the songs of the extra-ordinary species of birds kept in the aviary behind. The fourth side of the room opens to a fully mirrored (including the ceiling!) dressing room. A large wardrobe with safety box is set inside the full-length mirrored doors. After the dressing room is the toilet, indoor shower and a large bathtub situated in an open courtyard with scented and colorful flowers. At the far end of the open courtyard is an unique flowery pergola with a shower set against erotically sculptured white wall. An open- air massage table under the flowers will tempt anyone for the exotic body spa treatment awaiting.
Honeymoon Cottage
On the fourth and the lowest level of the estate is set a unique bedroom for two, among luxurious flowers and fruit trees with fish-ponds and fountains. The architecture is that of a rural rice-barn with thatched roof. It has an air-conditioned bedroom with modern amenities. Twin beds are on the first floor, provided with a fan and a mosquito curtain making it a very intimate place to enjoy the rural and rustic atmosphere. The deck on the same floor gives a relaxing view of the river with shady trees on both the banks. A small boat for two can give an intimate ride in the river under the trees. On the ground floor of the cottage is the toilet, washbasin, wardrobe, shower, the exercise facility and the portable massage table. A badminton court is also laid out, next to a hammock for two, swaying gently in the breeze between the two tall trees.
First Floor Lounge
Wooden stairs, under an imposing three-span arch, lead to the first floor with wide-open windows, equally big as the Master suite down below. It gives an eyeful of the magnificent scenery around including the ocean and a splendid view of the estate. The wooden columns and hand carved arches provide a charming setting for a relaxed atmosphere with friends on the specially designed chairs, sofas and canopy-bed. A bar is place on the exquisite wooden floor.
Living Room
In the center of the property is a formal square living room. On the right of the colonnade leading to the living room is a uniquely designed toilet. The living room is open on all the three sides with tall sliding glass doors and an antique wooden door facing the second level garden on the fourth side. The reclining sofas and chairs under a fan with a stereo music system make the breathtaking view of the third and the fourth lower levels and the swimming pool a world far from the madding crowds. A beautifully crafted ceramic inlay at the center of the room reinforces the Asian touch brought home ecstatically by three magnificent silk paintings. The four steps, in front, lead to the white terrace with a motive for chess.
Dining Room
The colonnade also leads to the raised dining room on wooden pillars. The dining room is open on all the three sides with wooden columns supporting beautifully carved arches. Two dining marble tables mounted on Palimanan stones with antique dragon-shaped candle supports and specially designed leather chairs provide an elegant feeling of comfort and ease. The view of the vast expanse of multi-tiered rice fields beyond the swimming pool and the peaceful river set against the traditional rice-barn with deck washes away any stress.
The kitchen right behind the dining room is fully equipped to meet with the demands of the rich menu listed.
Swimming Pool
The large infinity swimming pool placed at the end of the third level is ideal for the community time. The eighteen-meter length of the pool gives ample scope for a good work out. Easy chairs of different designs provide sunbathing facilities in any postures. The Balinese Bale with comfortable cushions facilitates reading or napping under the roof for at least three people together. The pool pours the water through a cascade into a lower pool. A wooden platform under the mini-waterfall of about three meters helps to have a full invigorating body massage making it a natural Jacuzzi.
Spa
Villa Olesha has now added a splendid SPA for the comfort, pleasure and relaxation of its discerning clients.
It is nestled discreetly at the far end of the luxurious property. It offers two private massage rooms with an attached bathroom.
The SPA offers a wide variety of body-treatments with invigorating Balinese natural health improving products.
The lush garden in front offers the attraction of sipping tea or other beverages on the sofa sets well arranged.
Overall Views
Views of LIVING and DINING rooms set against the pool, waterfall and the MASTER BEDROOM.
Tower
The tall artistic tower provides a secluded place to view the magnificent scenery around. Comfortable canopy bed with cushions allows for intimacy against a back drop of the mountain range and the Indian ocean.
Attractions
Now it is time to return to the beginning of our story: the landmark tower of Olesha, by slowly walking along the soft but firm green grass of the wide lawns surrounded by stunning flowers of all hues, fruit trees showing off their attractive possessions against the relaxing chatter of the water fountains at all the four levels. Going up the stairs giving an atmosphere of the ages passed by with the arches and the stained glass wall, you reach an intimate salon on the top with a comfortable mattress and a small refrigerator. There leaning against the round cushions, you are a Nawab, looking down on the fabulous property with the volcanic mountain range of Bali on one side and the Uluwatu peninsula and Indian Ocean on the other. Sandwiched between them is the inevitable lush greenery of Bali with a bright orange colored glorious sun either rising or setting.
An idyllic place to melt into Mother Nature.
