Villa Melissa a perfect family villa in Barbados! It offers 5 ensuite bedrooms, spread over the main house and a self-contained cottage, all air-conditioned and with ceiling fans - an ideal arrangement for two families or a group of friends.

There are 3 air-conditioned bedrooms in the main house (2 of the bedrooms and bathrooms each with floor length windows accessing the garden, have recently been renovated) and both bedrooms have large walk-in showers and twin vanities. The master bedroom also has floor length windows on 2 sides, so it overlooks the pool and the garden.

A further 2 double air-conditioned ensuite bedrooms are in the delightful, self-contained cottage, constructed of original coral stone. There are fossils on its walls and the bedrooms are large and furnished in calming cream and taupe. The master bedroom with ensuite bathroom is particularly romantic with a delightful four-poster bed - often the first choice of accommodation for honeymooners. The second bedroom can be arranged as a double or with twin beds. There is a combination of King, Queen, and twin beds to suit most requirements.

An open modern kitchen opens right out into the garden. It is a cook's delight with 2 fridge freezers, 2 ovens, microwave, dishwasher, wine fridge, butler's pantry and much more. Of course, you don't have to do the cooking! Eurice the cook is there to look after you and of course the restaurants and bars in Barbados offer a wide range of wonderful, tasty cuisine in seafront settings.

The large saltwater swimming pool sits in the middle of picturesque and spacious gardens which are beautifully landscaped. The pool is divided into two areas by stepping-stones. These create a 3 feet shallow end which is ideal for children and there is ample comfortable seating close by so children may be watched from the water's edge.

One of the most popular features of Villa Melissa is the thatched tiki bar fondly known as 'Chubs One Love Bar.' This is located next to the pool and from here you may sit in the shade and enjoy your favourite refreshment. Enjoy beach life yet escape to the oasis of the house and garden which is home to wonderful bird life. If you're lucky you will see green monkeys scampering across the garden walls.

Villa Melissa is located on the popular West Coast in the parish of St. James, a short drive from all the amenities, shops, restaurants, and bars of Holetown and on a private road that leads to the beach path, just a 3-minute stroll down a dreamy, leafy, path to the beach. If you take a stroll on the beach, you will find many luxury hotel resorts just a short walk, such as Coral Reef Club, Colony Club, Royal Pavilion and Glitter Bay.
