Completely harmonising Mediterranean style with Caribbean flare, this gorgeous villa showcases natural wood wherever possible - giving this stylish home, an old-world Mediterranean feel, right here in the Caribbean.
The comfortable living room is decorated with local prints and artefacts and has a large SmartTV (if you can bear to tear your eyes away from the ocean glimmering beyond). This welcoming area lets in plenty of natural light, as it opens fully to the gorgeous outdoor areas and magnificent views.
The bright and cheery country-style kitchen, adjacent to the living room. It's well-equipped for all your self catering needs with high quality appliances and an island counter.
🛏️ BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS:
1) Upstairs awaits a really romantic master suite, with vaulted ceilings and a king size four-poster bed. French doors open wide to a spacious new deck, with views of nearby Islands like Jost Van Dyke, Sandy Cay and several others. With its double sun-lounger and cafe table and chairs, a morning coffee or glass of orange juice never tasted better! This suite includes a walk-in closet and and en-suite bathroom, where a refreshing rinse in the natural stone shower is the perfect beginning or end to any day. The Master Suite has AC and a SmartTV. Somewhat hidden behind the master suite, is a private tiled courtyard with table and chairs, and a garden path to a pavilion-style gazebo with a perfectly swaying hammock. Yep, it's got it all!
2) The second bedroom, located downstairs, offers a queen bed with of course, beautiful ocean views and a very small half-bath (a miniature sink and toilet with a shower outside). It's accessed by a couple of steps from the rear of the kitchen. This bedroom has AC (and also houses the washer and dryer).
☀️ STEP OUTSIDE:
As well as the various upper-level outdoor spaces, the ground level has a very spacious pool deck complete with gorgeous turquoise pool, loungers for catching rays and a buddha always keeping the atmosphere zen. The covered areas are perfect for those who prefer shade, relaxing on the chaise lounge or napping on the hanging swing is only made better with ocean breezes. Fire up the built-in BBQ and try grilling some local Anegada lobster - The teak dining table on the new covered porch overlooks Smugglers Cove and is a truly magical place to enjoy a meal with friends & family.

⛵ SOPER'S HOLE MARINA, LIGHTHOUSE MARINA & NANNY CAY MARINA
Arriving by boat & looking for dock space? Try these marinas nearby.
🚗 Although there are ferries to connect you to other islands, the public transport in Tortola is basically non-existent and there’s so much to go and see but taxis add up quickly. Tortola is only 14 miles long by 3 miles at its widest, but it’s a mountainous island and the roads can be quite rugged. We can help you to reserve a 4WD SUV or direct you to recommended local car rental companies who understand that good 4WD vehicles are mandatory to explore with confidence. They can offer delivery to your port of entry or villa (we can help organise you a taxi to take you to the property) & carry a selection of cars & jeeps. Jerry's Car Rental is our favourite and the easiest car rental company to work with online.
