A beautiful and special hideaway on Bali The Villa Capung Merah

Located just south of the village of Ubud on the Island of Bali is Doug Staples’ brand new hideaway.  A wonderful home built in the Balainese style.  There is a beautiful swimming pool, full kitchen, upstairs bedroom and downstairs living area.  There is also a wonderful kind and caring staff.  Breakfast is served daily and it is cooked to order.  I personally love the banana pancakes, but you can have whatever you want, all you need to do is tell the cook.  For those of you who have been to Bali before you know how special a private home is.  It is not a resort but you are in the middle of magical Bali.  Very close to the monkey forest it is a great location to explore the island.  Transportation from the airport can be arranged for a minimal charge. The house is fan cooled.  The price of this hideaway is a special to clients of Tom Smith Travel.  $125.00 US per night, which includes tax and daily breakfast.  Maximum capacity for this home is 3…next year it will be 4.  Contact Tom for pictures of the entire house…it really is special.
