Rue des Grand Augustins, Paris.

Stayed in this enchanting apartment in Paris 6 years ago. It is part of a 17th century grand mansion at Rue des Grands Augustins. A few doors down is where Pablo Picasso lived and painted #Guernica in 1937. It was here Picasso sat out the Nazi occupation of Paris and continued living here till 1955.
.
It’s been too long Paris. ‘Tis time to return to you again ♡

Villa Karang Putih

Pool House

The sprawling 11,000 m2 cliff-top 5-star estate of Karang Putih is surrounded by a swath of green foliage and blooming tropical flowers, set amidst a backdrop of the stunning blue Indian Ocean of Uluwatu, Bali.

Uluwatu, Bali


A truly modern luxury home in architecture and design, Karang Putih is located only 18 kilometers from Ngurah Rai International Airport, and within a 20 minutes drive from an international standard golf course, surfing, water skiing, reef fishing & big game fishing. Just below the villa estate a winding road will take you to a pristine white sand beach. One of the most unique aspects of this villa is that it boasts its own licensed helicopter pad serviced by Air Bali.

(Airport transfer from the airport via helicopter is available).

Two swimming pools, 7 air-conditioned bedrooms, mature tropical gardens, and a breathtaking view are the main highlights of this property. High ceilings and generous proportions of the rooms create the feeling of endless space, accented by the open nature of the structures and the resulting abundance of natural light.

Facilities

Karang Putih has many unique features and facilities. Three of which set it apart from other Bali villas.

The first is that the villa enjoys it's own private beach club with amenities including a plunge pool overlooking pristine clean water protected by a reef.

The seconds is that the estate has a fully qualified chef and a cook to cater for all your dining needs. Your orders are taken in advance and purchased at your cost with no mark up. Thus, your food and beverage costs are the same as what you would pay directly from a supermarket in Bali!

The third is the fully licensed Helipad located on the Estate. Transfers to and from the airport are made easy for guests who wish to take the service. Our affiliation with Air Bali makes it easy to arrange and hire helicopter services for guests. For more information on Air Bali please see the following website: www.airbali.com

The Road Not Taken By

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
