Review:
Lots of fresh air. The villa is built open plan and designed to be cooled by cross breezes. It stays quite cool without the need for air-conditioning. A micro hydro scheme being constructed by the nearby waterfall is nearly finished and will be able to supply all the electricity for the 2 villas.

The smaller Villa Beji uses silver ionization to sterilize the pool.

The whole garden is planted with either edible or medicinal plants.

The owners of the villa also contribute part of the income to a tree planting program in the local area.
