Stone House is close to the hustle and bustle of hectic Ubud, but far enough to enjoy some inner peace and quiet: relax on the porch swing and gaze over the paddy rice fields or cool down in the beautifully designed pool. Stone House is an interior designers dream, yet also gives you the feeling of a staying at a good friend’s home. As such it is the perfect place for design afficianados, stylish people, traveling families and those looking for a more intimate hotel experience.
Each of the villas has its own soul. Longhouse for instance is built completely on stilts and juts into the jungle and faces the rice fields. Sky view is perfect for families, a stone washed Mediteranean inspired villa with two bedrooms. Which ever villa you pick, you will find your villa scattered with antiques and treasures from the owners’ own travels in Asia. Gorgeous, spacious and so comfortable and the bathrooms are special too. It is evident the owners – the American Walker Zabriskie and Wendy Kassel – have reallygiven thoughtful attention to every detail. Wendy provides charming service with her team, whereas Walker makes sure there is always some interesting new furniture object to see made of sustainable wood. Their daughter attends the Green School, which pioneers in sustainable education and there is never a lack of interesting visitors /friends at the Stone House.
