The villa is situated on a ridge in St Phillip and as such benefits from the warm Caribbean breeze all year round and boasts spectacular panoramic views. The local people as with all Barbadians are known for their hospitality and helpfulness which contributes to guests at the villa returning each year.
The villa is ideally placed to give peace and relaxation on the one hand but yet close enough to amenities and activities to add interest to a holiday. There is much to occupy the active and the curious. Places of interest include preserved plantations, the Botanical Gardens, Harrison Cave and Concorde, to name but a few. For the more actve there is snorkelling, swimming with the giant sea turtles, horse riding, golf. All these and more can be accessed relatively easily from the villa. Information on booking and accessing activities are available in the villa.

The Crane Hotel close by has two of the finest restaurants on the island, and a wonderful bar playing live music into the evening. St Lawrence Gap a short drive away has countless restaurants, evening entertainment and clubs to suit all tastes.

Review Rating : 5/5
"We had a great time at the Villa which is very spacious and clean with three large bedrooms and two bathrooms plus a large lounge and kitchen. We would have breakfast and relax in the evening on the lovely big balcony but the star of the house has to be the pool which was so refreshing after the heat of the sunl. Our teenage son would spend about two hours a day in it! The house is very peaceful with large fields behind where you can enjoy watching the antics of the cows and free ranging sheep and goats plus the occasional monkey troop. There is a large supermarket five miles away and local shops very close. We were looked after very well by Mauva and Phillip who are genuinely lovely people and were so welcoming and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them and they had lots of good advice re beaches etc. We hope they continue to enjoy their life in Barbados. The villa is on the south coast so is about 45 minute drive to the west coast but it is opposite Bottom Beach and the location means you can also explore the beautiful East coast as well. It is very close to Crane Beach which is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world - go the the Crane Hotel for the Gospel Brunch (need to book ahead) and then take the elevator down to the beach and rent sun loungers for the rest of the day, finish off with dinner at Cutters (in the village) watching the sun go down over a rum punch - bliss! Make sure you are at the wildlife sanctuary at 2pm when the feed the monkeys - really interesting and fun. We had a great holiday in a great villa and would highly recommend this villa."

"This has been a very enjoyable holiday indeed. The villa is clean spacious, well equipped and perfectly located. The local people are warm friendly and dignified and our stay here was relaxing, peaceful and secure.
Finally , Mauva & Phillip made us feel very welcome and as a result we settled immediately. We are very happy to recommend this accommodation unreservedly".
