Villa The Great House, St Peter, Barbados.
If a private, estate-like setting is what you need for an upcoming visit to Barbados, The Great House should appear at the top of your list. It is a seaside property set on expansive grounds and borrows its inspiration from the great houses of Europe. With more than two acres of gardens and grounds as well as an immense and private beach area, it would be ideal for a family gathering or small, destination event.
Recently renovated, the property includes a main house, a smaller house, and several cottages.
The list of amenities is immense and includes the grounds with their many gardens, ponds, and gazebos or outdoor living spaces. There are spaces to sunbathe and spots to play games, and there is also the beach. With private beach access, visitors can savor the delights of water sports as diverse as sea kayaking to snorkeling. There is gear for surfing and even an option for boating. There are tennis facilities and spa rooms, too.
The buildings all use unique styles with the Great House or main house emphasizing iconic Barbados design. The other property has an island flair, and includes a carriage house as well as cottages and another more modern home. The Great House is where most of the gathering may occur because it is where the home cinema is found, and where the enormous pool terrace awaits. Flanked with lounges and sun decks, it opens back into the verandah which opens to the graceful and welcoming interiors of the main house.
There is no limit to the amount of shared living space available, and guests will marvel at the beauty of the design and décor. The same will be said of each of the bedrooms, with all featuring luxury linens, access to outdoors, and private baths.
