Tassana Pra - Villa's description
Tassana Pra has been specifically designed by the owner to
be one of his principal homes for most of the year and not
just a “villa rental”. Many antiques and decorative items
have therefore been carefully selected to make the villa a
unique and symbolic place to stay and rest, both for the owner
and for privileged guests.
The first and largest of the five connected pavilions that
compose the villa has a soaring Thai roof supported by 16
antique wood columns, and is reached via an ornate covered
walkway bridge across a lily pond. This is the sumptuous living
and dining area, which opens out onto a large covered terrace,
ideal for casual dining and entertainment, and offering spectacular
and unobstructed 180-degree views of the mountains, the sea,
the coastline, and the Big Buddha Temple, in addition to the
swimming pool.
The four other pavilions are located at each corner of the
villa and are all accessed from the living room. Three of
them host luxurious bedrooms (two doubles and one twin) complete
with four-posted beds, and combining traditional Thai style
with modern western comforts and facilities (air conditioning,
en-suite bathrooms with bathtub and separate shower). The
master bedroom has its own spacious dressing room, views of
the ocean, and its bathroom contains a Jacuzzi. Each room
features carved panels, doors and genuine antique furniture
either from Thailand or Burma and made of solid teak, while
the fabrics are of finest Thai silk and cotton. The fourth
pavilion contains the private study of the owner (not accessible)
and a guest bathroom.
On the ground level there is a fourth bedroom (double) with
a more modern décor and en-suite facilities, ideal
for children or younger members of the party. The ground floor
also contains the fully equipped modern kitchen, as well as
the hidden staff quarters and laundry.
Guests can access the swimming pool and front garden either
from the upstairs terrace or the covered patio on the ground
floor, while sun beds are arranged around the pool deck.
