Villa #BARBADOS902

Description

Situated along a picturesque half-mile stretch of beach on the outskirts of Speightstown, Barbados, this villa boasts surrounding waters and a vibrant reef that serve as a playground for swimmers and snorkelers. Originally constructed in the 1950s as the residence for a United States Ambassador, the exquisite coral stone mansion exudes Palladian grandeur, highlighted by 14-foot ceilings in the living room.

Adding to its enchantment, the villa features a magnificent 50-foot pool enhanced with Italian mosaics depicting turtles and fish. This pool is thoughtfully positioned like a pathway extending from the heart of the house, beckoning towards the sea at its farthest edge.

Designed with families in mind, this villa offers an abundance of serene spaces and the choice of either formal or al fresco dining areas, including a captivating option for candlelit dining. The dwelling boasts a predominantly white color scheme, harmonizing beautifully with the tropical landscape, and is decorated with several distinctive pieces and antique accents. The sleeping quarters conveys a refreshing and airy ambiance, adorned with plush beds, high-quality cotton sheets, and hypoallergenic pillows.

Extending beyond the main villa, two charming chattel houses and a guest cottage grace the property. Each of these accommodations features en suite bathrooms, and a graceful garden gazebo complete with a wet bar adds an elegant touch. Additionally, two covered terraces, located on the bedrooms of the north and south wings, provide added privacy and comfort. On the ocean-facing side, guests are invited to revel in safe swimming and snorkeling adventures in the pristine, crystal-clear waters.
