Contemporary architecture, artful interiors, abundant living space, glamorous bedroom suites and a stunning 21-metre pool define Casa Brio, a fully staffed four-bedroom villa that promises discerning families and groups of friends a sparkling vacation in the heart of Seminyak on Bali’s southwestern shore.
The villa certainly lives up to its name; Brio is Italian for vivacity, and it’s easy to imagine lively social gatherings in the open-sided living pavilion, animated conversation around the huge dining table, and high-spirited cocktails on the sunset roof terrace. There’s Italian brio in the contemporary design too – think clean architectural lines, light-filled living spaces, and a laid-back colour palette of cool grey with a splash of dusky pink. All this provides a canvas for those uniquely Balinese elements: open-air tropical living, a garden ablaze with orchids, frangipanis and palms, and winsome Balinese staff with warm smiles and a can-do attitude. Cappuccino from the DeLonghi coffee maker? An ice-cold Bintang on the pool deck? A massage in the cushioned poolside balé? Teatime snacks in the air-conditioned media room? A flower petal bath in the bathroom garden courtyard? Nothing is too much trouble for the highly professional strong team.
The icing on the cake is Casa Brio’s stellar Seminyak location – secluded and peaceful yet within moments of Petitenget Beach and the island’s most popular restaurants and bars.

Other Things to Note
Villa Casa Brio’s manager has a wealth of information about nearby places of interest
and will help arrange transport and make any bookings required. Chat to the staff too;
many have been attached to the villa from the beginning, and are a great source of
insider information. In the meantime, here’s a taste of the many and varied activities
on offer within reach of the villa.
• You could eat out at a different restaurant in Seminyak every night - for months
- and still not run out of options. Jalan Laksmana (also known as Jalan Oberoi
and Jalan Kayu Aya) is Bali’s fashionable ‘Eat Street’, offering plenty of high-end
restaurants. Cocoon and Potato Head, are classy seaside alternatives. Then
there's La Plancha, a rustic beach bar between Double Six and Gado Gado, very
popular, good tapas, very reasonably priced drinks, with live music and DJ
events. A short taxi to Kerobokan will bring you to Sardine and Métis (from the
owners of former and fabulous Kafé Warisan) and Naughty Nuri's Batubelig (a
franchise of the original in Ubud) famous for BBQ ribs and wicked Martinis. Mid-
range dining options here include Wah Wah Gourmet Burger Winebar which
specialises in sassy burgers with sexy connotations, and numerous other cheap
'n cheerful options.
• Shop til you drop! In Seminyak and neighbouring Kerobokan you can rummage
for treasures through cluttered little stores and dark junkshops crammed to the
ceiling with curios and 'made-to-order' antiques, derive inspiration from classy
homeware shops, or wander through huge furniture warehouses. For furniture
and homewares check out Lio Collection, Christy, and Sun. Soft furnishings
abound at Haveli, Sunbebek and Disini, and Geneva is the one-stop shop for
handicrafts. Gone are the days when ladies fashion in Bali was limited to batik
rayon sundresses. The last few years has seen a flood of new designer boutiques
in the Seminyak area. In Jalan Laksmana (Eat Street) you can shop between
courses! Boutiques include Paul Ropp, Biasa, Magali Pascal, Anouck, Lily Jean,
Bamboo Blond, Dinda Rella, Innuendo, Religion, Body & Soul, Buddha Wear, M.
Harcourt, Pura Vida, and Uma & Leopold to name but a few. Kids fashion stores
include Kidsagogo and Kiki's Closet. For art lovers, galleries worth visiting in
Seminyak include Randelli Gallery, Biasa and Kendra.
• Pura Petitenget at the beachside off Jalan Petitenget is a compact, pretty
Balinese temple, which is known for particularly spectacular beach-side
ceremonies. There has been a temple here since at least the 16th century, and
although this is not one of the key nine directional temples of Bali, it is an www.elitehavens.com Date generated : 22-Dec-2022
important link in the series of west coast temples between Pura Uluwatu and
Pura Tanah Lot.
• In-villa beauty and massage treatments carried out by professional therapists
can normally be arranged with ease, but if you'd prefer to visit one of
Seminyak's spas, we recommend: Bodyworks (quality treatments at very
reasonable prices - a favourite with Bali’s expats); Callego (a casual massage
centre with a small restaurant attached); Chill (super reflexology treatments -
great for jetlag); Prana Spa for Ayurvedic treatments.
• There are several surf schools in Bali, mainly based in and around Kuta and
Legian, where young and old(er) can learn to surf or brush up on their skills.
• Explore Bali's backroads, lakes, volcanoes, forests and beaches on the back of a
Harley Davidson bike with Island Biker Tours. Full day Harley tours, customised
tours or shorter joy rides can all be accommodated.
• Take a drive over to Bali’s Bukit peninsula: the 18-hole Bali National Golf Club in
Nusa Dua, one of the best courses on the island, is perched on a cliff 70m above
the roaring Indian ocean. Uluwatu Temple (Pura Uluwatu) is one of Bali's nine
key directional temples. Facing west and with steep headlands on either side
creating an unbelievably dramatic setting, sunsets over Uluwatu are a sight not
to be missed.
• On the way back, stop off for a seafood feast at Jimbaran – a must for every
holiday in Bali. Dozens of seafood warungs (cafés) line this west-facing beach,
perfect for a sunset dinner. Fine dining options are available at most of the big
resort hotels in this area; notably PJ’s, the charming beachside restaurant at the
Four Seasons in Jimbaran, serving Mediterranean-styled cuisine.
