Nestled in Montserrat's rainforest-covered hills, with breathtaking sea views and a ten minute walk to an often deserted beach, this secluded hideaway is perfect for those seeking a restorative and utterly peaceful vacation.
This is a elegant, recently renovated two storey villa with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two reception rooms and a beautiful grand piano-shaped swimming pool. The villa has arguably the best views on the island. Because it is west facing, sundowner cocktails on either of the two 60ft uninterrupted, sea-facing galleries, or pool deck, are a must.
The house is situated in Montserrat's Woodland Beach area at the end of a private cul de sac, shared by only one other villa. A ten minute amble takes you to a secluded beach, where you'll often discover you are its only visitors. In season (August-November) you may be lucky enough to see turtles nesting or hatching. The offshore reefs are teaming with life and can be explored by snorkel from the beach (or diving can be arranged).
The villa has a new modern fitted fully-equipped kitchen, a laundry, internet, wide screen TV, cable, gas barbecue, log-burning barbecue, and a large totally private tropical garden.
We are happy to provide advice for visitors via email in advance of their stay, and our on-island agent will provide all additional information or services needed.
Montserrat remains a Caribbean secret, quaintly reminiscent of the 1950s, a far cry from neighbouring Antigua. With so little tourism, and as Montserratians are unfailingly welcoming, visitors become part of island life. An active volcano (an entirely safe distance away) makes for a fascinating exploration, as do numerous guided forest treks.
Car hire will be necessary. Our agent will arrange.
Guest Access:
Guests have access to the whole house, garden and pool deck.
Interaction with Guests:
I will not be present during my guests' stay but my agent on Montserrat is available for help and advice if needed.
The Neighbourhood:
The villa is secluded and quiet - the only sounds are the waves crashing on the beach below, bird song, the chirruping of the tree frogs at night and the crowing of the occasional rooster. The large garden is surrounded by lush rainforest. Agoutis are often to be seen scuttling across the lawns.
Getting Around:
There are local minibuses but car hire is recommended. There is ample parking at the villa. I can arrange an airport pick up.
Other Things to Note:
The villa is finished to a very high standard and has a lovely ambiance.
