Set on nearly two acres of lush tropical grounds this beautifully decorated and spacious Colonial-style villa is one of our top villas in Barbados. Known as “Little England,” the island of Barbados combines British charm and Caribbean flair and offers plenty of sun, tranquil waters and vibrant nightlife. Built for a U.S. Ambassador over 50 years ago, the timeless good taste this property offers is hard to find in more recent properties. The surrounding gardens reflect the sure touch of the original designer and have matured to become some of the best on the island.

Chat with loved ones on the plush patio furnishings out on the property’s covered terrace. If you grow warm, head into the Italian, mosaic-tiled swimming pool that sits in the center of beautifully manicured grounds, looking towards the sea. Later, enjoy an alfresco meal on the large dining table, with seating for up to 18, then take in a sunset on the far end of the lawn in the Chinese gazebo that also has seating for up to 14 and features a wet bar and fridge.
