Feel stress wash away when you enter this villa with high ceilings, open floor plan, private pool, and beautiful natural light. The perfect size for a couple or a whole family. You can rent a car or walk to local markets. Your holiday villa awaits! Designed and built by an Australian expat, Villa Palitos appeals to those of us who love cool green spaces, fresh breezes, and simple floor plans that allow the blending of inside and outside elements. The villa is a part of a very small and upscale complex, with its own 24/7 security team. The living and sleeping areas of this home are separated by a bridge arching over the private pool. The first part of the home is graced with lofting ceilings and plenty of windows to capture the wind's cooling effects in the heat of the day. A large sofa and coffee table in the living area provide the perfect area for visiting, reading, or a late afternoon nap. The kitchen is simple, but well equipped, with a high quality gas stove and a small oven. A full size LG refrigerator - great for longer stays and keeping your groceries fresh - and a hot/cold water dispenser. The dining table easily seats 8, and is situated by the pool, protected from sun and rain (mostly), and made of recycled wood. The Master Bedroom is a full en suite, including a bath tub, and opens out onto a patio adjoining the pool. The perfect layout for a second honeymoon! Two more en suite bedrooms are located on the second floor, one with a double bed, and the other with a new queen sized mattress. There is a daybed on the patio - perfect for reflection and journaling. We have two twin mattresses that can be used on the floor for extra guests. A Monday thru Saturday cleaning service is included in your nightly rate. No discounts are given if your stay includes a Sunday. Guests have access to the living and sleeping areas. There is a facilities/laundry room that is for staff access only. We understand the value of privacy. The cleaning service will occur in the late morning/early afternoon, but outside of that the house is yours (and feel free to cancel the cleaning if you prefer the privacy). This residential area of Yogyakarta is known for its high-end homes and peacefulness. You can walk to the Hyatt and enjoy their Sunday brunch, or play a round on their beautifully landscaped golf course. Take an evening stroll to Sasanti Restaurant for cocktails, dinner, and live music, then head out early in the morning and select your fresh ingredients for a home-cooked meal from the local traditional market. Gojek and Grab are now the easiest ways to secure transportation. We can also help you to find a driver and car for temple or city tours, just let us know! This is a quiet retreat after a day of visiting temples and museums. A chance to live in a private, creative space. An alternative to the hotel-style environment. A perfect choice if you want to get away from screens, and find a moment of peace.
