Guests have their fair share of choice activities, be it relaxing by the garden, taking a dip in the irresistible pool, or lounging with a book at the charming terrace platform. It will also be hard to miss the wonderful and inviting Thai Sala which is like a private sheltered gazebo to laze about.

The open living layout of Villa Leti continues to awe guests for the unpretentiously rustic and homey feeling by virtue of the tasteful wooden furniture that are strongly evident throughout. The dining table faces a large wall-mounted mirror that sits above a parallelly-large wooden cabinet decorated with various well-appointed ornaments.

On one end adjoining the dining area is the fully-equipped kitchen in creamy yellow colour, with amenities like microwave, oven, espresso machine, stove, fridge and toaster, while on the other end is the living hall with its huge, wooden lounge day-bed like sofa. A flat screen television with wooden open cupboard shelves complete the look of this space. Other facilities provided are a washing machine, clothes rack, and hi-speed Wifi connectivity.
