If the piece of life you are in at the moment makes an act, the road to Villa Umah Cagaan - House of Cagaan is the Entracte, an "interval music" that
takes you to the new act you're about to experience.
Slowly are revealed
terraces of golden paddy fields umas, art workshops, along with people of
Pejeng Kangin Village performing their morning rituals : young Balinese
women, baskets on heads, returning from the traditional market in their
serenity; a middle-aged man in a frayed Italian soccer team shirt with his
ducks marching; women, young and old, in traditional sarongs chatting by the
street gleefully, glancing at you and smiling; and the cool breeze brushing
your face with the sweet scent of frangipani.
The villa, designed by an Internationally acclaimed architect Popo Danes, smoothly blends with its surroundings.
As you walk through the entrance
passage and pass the Balinese door, humbleness and servility of the wonderful staff - mostly are locals to Pejeng Kangin village - are among the
first things that make you feel at home and loved.
Shades of brown, red and
burned orange warm up your five senses as you walk into the residence with
furnishings that harmoniously blend modernity and traditions.
If you're
barefooted, you'll experience the different feels of the floors : steel-grey
river stone floor in the living, marble in the kitchen, wood in the
bedrooms, and palimanan lime stones outdoors - all to remind you to fully
give in to any unexpected delights the villa has to offer.
A wooden figure of Petruk, a royal jester in Javanese and Balinese Wayang
greets you joyfully, "Welcome, please don't take life too seriously." Such
playfulness and light hearted gesture color this four-bedroom villa.
There's
even a gigantic drinking glass turned upside down by the kitchen sink, and
dozens of collectible bottle corks inside the bottle on a shelf! And this
kind of playfulness and light heartedness is the dominant element in this
tropical four bedroom villa, perfect for your family or circle of friends.
