Description

The entrance of the century-old Radha villa opens to an enchanting garden and a lily pond with river rocks forming steps that lead to the house. There is another entrance for those who wish to step directly into the property. Inside, is a beautifully proportioned bedroom complete with sitting area and a small kitchenette that opens onto a tropical garden bathroom. Across the pond is a much smaller house (gladak) which serves as a reading or breakfast room, while across the swimming pool is a comfortably furnished relaxation bale.

The bedroom of Villa Radha is a haven of peace and privacy. The room has a regal king-size bed and a beautiful collection of chairs. Contrasting with the building’s 100-year history and eclectic furnishings and artefacts are all 21st century comforts - an upholstered daybed, a 47-inch TV with satellite channels and DVD player, an iPod dock and air-conditioning. A few steps lead down from the bedroom to an indoor-outdoor bathroom with a dressing area, a vanity with twin basins, a walk-in rain shower and a magnificent two-person alfresco bathtub carved out of a single piece of river rock.

The living area of Villa Radha comprises an air-conditioned sitting and TV area within the bedroom. The guests also have the choice of enjoying breezy alfresco living in the large veranda, which is fitted with old planters chairs for reclining at sunset. The smaller gladak with its hatch opening onto a mini veranda offers an intimate space for relaxing and is furnished with a small table for three. At the end of the water-garden is a lagoon-style plunge pool surrounded by a sun deck with two loungers and a cushion-covered bale. Tucked away in another corner of the garden is a double hammock surrounded by tropical blooms.
