Further details indoors: Set on 2 1/2 acres on the ridge overlooking Ocho Rios, Barbary is built around an indoor open air atrium. You can stand in the sun or watch the stars without ever leaving the villa! The house has a card room, living room, large sun room, dining room, kitchen & pantry in addition to the atrium area. All of these spaces are great places to gather and enjoy the company of your travel mates.
The master bedroom boasts a hand carved four poster Jamaican mahogany king size bed and two en suite bathrooms. Three of the bedrooms have air conditioning for those occassional evenings when the hillside breezes do not keep you comfortable. A fourth bedroom is created when we curtain off the card room and put in a queen size bed. Additional singles are available for the other large bedrooms.
The villa has a lending library for guests, over 50 movies (vhs & dvd), and a cupboard full of puzzles and games.
Further details outdoors: The outdoors is fully fruited (limes, oranges, grapefruit, mango, ackee, coconut) and is totally private, entrance to the villa is on a large circular drive that seems to circle the top of the ridge. There is a lovely pond & fountain in the front yard and a private pool around the side. The villa offers total privacy for our guests. In addition, the exquisite grounds have been carefully groomed by the same excellent gardener for over 30 years.

Guestbook
"The place, scenery and people providing the services were excellent. The villa was amazing - exquisite, large, cool, bright and airy rooms, etc. The place was peaceful during the days and nights and it could be an inspiration for writers and thinkers. The scenery was well above expectations, e.g. great view of Ocho Rios, the sea, cruise ships, and so on. However, what made the stay so wonderful were the staff who were so respectful, helpful, good company, and always down-to-earth. I only wished that we could have stayed longer. I would definitely consider booking the villa on future holidays. Well done!" (comments from a party of 9 from the UK)
"I was part of the Sweeney party that came on 5th Nov, once I got used to the atrium and lizards coming in it was definitely somewhere I could stay for a longer period. Rossetta, Lorraine, George the security guard were absolutley wonderful and made use feel very welcome. George the gardener was so knowledgeable about the plants and the garden as a whole, we couldn't fault the service they provided and miss them lots. I really hope I can come back and see them. Beautiful house clean and well looked after, keep up the good work!" (comments from a member of a party from the UK)
