Villa Kirana Bali in Bali ★★★★★  

Villa Kirana is a beautiful, unique and fully appointed five bedroom villa private rental villa in Bali, only 10 minutes drive from Ubud center. It overlooks the Ayung river gorge with breathtaking views of Bali's major volcano range and distant rice field terraces. As quoted by the architect Made Wijaya, The design was inspired by Arne Hasselquist's David Bowie House in Mustique, on which I had worked with Linda Garland. It is a water garden with pavilions on a view. I added elements of the Malay house, the Balinese Bale and the Baronial guesthouses of the hill stations in Dutch colonial times. The house is very open, very transparent-the garden and scenic views are a treat as one moves around the detached palace.
