Guesthouse Patal Kikian Villa (Karangasem, Indonesia)

A ROYAL GETAWAY VILLA WITH THE BEST VIEW IN BALI Villa Sidemen is a beautifully and carefully renovated and well furnished luxury villa in Karangasem. It is a unique villa; it originally belonged to the royal family of Sidemen who built it in the 1980s. A genuine Balinese house with lots of authentic intricate carvings on walls, doors and ceilings is waiting for your arrival! When you are here you will be able to enjoy one of the most breathtaking views in the world. Relaxing with a chilled mango juice on the terrace you will have the stunning vista of Gunung Agung – Bali’s holy mountain – which is internationally regarded as one of the eight “Chakra” points of the world. Villa Sidemen is my home (when no-one is renting it) and I never get tired of watching the summit of Gunung Agung alternately appearing and vanishing behind shifting clouds. And between Villa Sidemen and Gunung Agung there is the splendid panorama over the valleys with the terracing rice fields. I am sure you will appreciate it as I do. Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Roman Polanski and former Indonesian President Megawati are among those who also have enjoyed the magic of this place.
