The two ground floor bedrooms, both of which are air-conditioned are entered from the living room. They share a central garden bathroom, which features twin washbasins, a bath, separate shower recess & a western toilet.
There are two first floor (fan cooled) open-plan areas, which are accessed by two different stairwells. The bamboo railed staircase that leads from the right hand side of the villa’s entrance leads to the fan cooled TV/Reading room, which is furnished with a comfortable 3-seater antique sofa, an opium (Chinese) bed (alternatively extra bed), a desk (garden views) & TV and a (multi-system) video.
The antique doorway on the left hand side of the villa’s entrance opens to a spiral staircase that leads to the only upstairs (fan cooled) bedroom.
It is worthy mentioning that at the base of the stairs the same door (which is entered from the living room) is also the access point to the (villa’s) second garden bathroom, which services both the occupants of this upstairs’ bedroom, & is also the most convenient (service) bathroom for general/day use.
The upstairs bedroom is furnished with a four-poster bed, with canopy (& mosquito net). A ceiling fan is positioned above the bed. Additionally there is a delightfully (& wide) comfortable antique sofa & a desk (which has rice field views to the south).
This bedroom enjoys cool breezes throughout the day, which emanate from the surrounding rice fields.
