the quiet end of the bukit. one bedroom, a plunge pool, and a beach that almost nobody bothers to walk down to.
01 ground floor
one room does the work of three. the island faces the sofa, the doors fold open onto the terrace, and the pool sits close enough that somebody can talk to you from it while you cook.
02 upper floor
the stair turns once and you are above the wall. bedroom on the left, a bathroom with a tub behind it, the balcony to the right. it faces west, so you get the roofs of the neighbours first and the sun going down behind them second.
your beach
a kilometre and a half of white sand under green cliffs, and most days barely anyone on it. the reason it stays empty is the climb, and you are already at the top of it. a steep concrete road runs down from the clifftop: fifteen to twenty minutes on foot, sweatier coming back, or five on a scooter if you know what you are doing.
already here
a few things live in the house. use them, or don't.
the wifi reaches the pool. it does not reach the beach, which is sort of the point.
baci means kisses. the villa sleeps two, and it was named before there was anything on the plot but grass.
