Villa Basilio Bali, Seminyak's newest villa has opened for holiday rental.

There are few places on earth that are as romantic and steeped in mystical spirituality as Bali.Known to some as The Morning of the World, and to many as The Island of the Gods, it is no small wonder that Bali is still one of the most sought after luxury holiday destination.

Situated in the heart of Seminyak, a minute's walk from Bali's sophisticated and cosmopolitan shopping, dining and clubbing, Villa Basilio was a sleeping beauty 6 years ago. Since then, the villa has been uniquely renovated by the creators of the world renown Pantai Lima Estate.

Villa Basilio is not just another cookie cutter-villa where all bedrooms are identical to one another and shoe-horned into a tiny plot of land. Rather, the property is truly spacious, extending over 2400 square meters, right in the middle of town, yet in absolute quietness.  Each bedroom is completely different in design and ambience one from another, with Finishing, furnishings, fixtures and fittings of the highest quality.

The famous Legian beach is 700m away, a mere 10mn walk through peaceful back streets. Yet, for swimming, Villa Basilio offers no less than 2 swimming pools: a 100 square meter, free shaped  swimming pool for adults and sunbathing, and a separate, generously proportioned shallow pools designed for children.

Villa Basilio's innovative approach extends to its food and drink policy – no premium is charged for food prepared by the executive chef.

Guests decide on a menu, provide a cash budget, then culinary staff shop at local markets, delicatessens and specialty stores to buy produce and ingredients. There is no mark-up on anything purchased on a guest's behalf.

Villa Basilio has over 10 staff to guarantee the guest experience. Heading the team is an on-site estate director. The world-famous Nirwana Golf Course is just 10 km to the north-west.

The international airport is 20 minutes by car.

In Spring 2014, Villa Basilio welcomes journalists stays.
