Villa Juno in Bali Opens for Business; Rates from US$120++

Villa Juno, a new property in Bali that classifies itself as a Bed & Breakfast, is now open to guests in the premier private villa colony of Canggu, in the south western part of the island.

Villa Juno is located 30 minutes from Ngurah Rai International Airport and only 20 minutes from the trendy shops and restaurants of Seminyak.

Sprawled over 2,500 sqm on several levels overlooking lush rice fields, Villa Juno is a private residence built in traditional Balinese style. The villa comprises three luxuriously appointed, air conditioned bedroom units, fitted with their own patios, indoor oversized bathtubs for two surfaced with mother of pearl and outdoor shower areas set amidst a miniature rock garden.

Measuring 63 sqm, each spacious unit is housed in separate pavilions flanking a garden courtyard and furnished in mahogany inlaid with local materials including crushed bamboo and cracked coconut shell. Specially commissioned paintings and bamboo chicks with blackout covers complete each bedroom's décor. Beds, custom made to super king size, are complemented by soft 400 thread-count cotton bed linen to help ensure a comfortable sleep, while other thoughtful touches include large, thick towels, ceiling fans, pure cotton mosquito nets, in-room safes, writing desk, 32” flat screen plasma TV screen and DVD players.

Just beyond the courtyard, a stone staircase descends to the dining and living pavilion on the left and the gazebo to the right. With its lofty wooden beams fitted with ceiling fans, the airy dining pavilion serves as a cosy breakfast nook with an open kitchen concept.

 In one corner, a cosy lounge area is equipped with a DVD player, a CD/DVD library and reading materials. The gazebo is a favourite spot for lounging away the day next to a lotus pond. A mini bale or traditional Balinese outdoor pavilion adds a charming touch to the poolside.

Villa Juno is also entirely wifi enabled, so guests can stay connected throughout their stay whether in their room or by the poolside.

The 14-metre long lap pool overlooks a grassy enclosure teeming with fruit trees, vegetable shrubs and other colorful tropical plants.

Typical of the B&B style of lodging found in Europe or Australia, Villa Juno offers a cozy, intimate experience as not more than six guests are housed at any one time. The stay is inclusive of breakfast (Balinese or western) and afternoon tea.

Although lunch and dinner are not typically provided at Villa Juno, prior arrangements can be made.

Introductory rates at Villa Juno start from US$120 per room per night and from US$290 per villa per night. Rates are subject to 10% tax and 5% service charge. Minimum two nights' stay during low season and five nights during high and peak seasons.
