Formerly an indigo & sugar cane plantation, then rum distillery until the 1950s, the Distillery is now welcoming privileged guests. The 8 lush acres of tropical paradise are steeped in over 2 centuries of West Indian history! The Distillery is built as 2 pavilions set among original stone ruins & gardens.
The main house, looking out over the fields to the sea, is a classic Caribbean Great House with hip roofs, wood-louvred shuttered windows, wraparound verandah, sitting areas, and alfresco dining. The Great Room has 20' ceilings, wet bar & kitchen, and an elegant alcove for dining. On the upper level is the "Burd's Nest" Suite, with king bed (or 2 twins) & sitting room which looks down into the Great Room. Below the Great Room is the Blue & White Suite, with 2 full beds & sitting area, and well-furnished in wicker & antiques (this suite has coffeemaker, mini-fridge & wet bar on a covered verandah).
A walkway through the gardens leads to the Distillery's nearby cottage, where the secluded master suite is on the upper level, & a study is on the garden level. The master suite is charming & private, with 4-poster king bed & wraparound balcony under the trees. The private garden-level study (with office space, full bath & living room with single daybed) is showcased by a colorful handpainted mural.
The 5th bedroom, with kitchenette, is located in the charming artist's cottage near the tennis court.
Stone ruins, some dating to 1620, are peppered throughout the property. A former rum barrel warehouse has been converted into a whimsical English-style pub with snooker table, jukebox, bar & exercise alcove, satellite TV & exotic alfresco shower. From the main villa, steps lead down to the pool (heated, if you wish, for $350/wk with advance notice) and adjacent pavilion (equipped with wet bar, gas grill & mini-fridge). Below the pool are acres of meadow with sheep & donkeys. Above the main house, and accessed through exquisite grounds, is the private tennis court & gazebo.
The Distillery abounds in unparalleled beauty, romance & sophistication, and is sure to please the most discerning guests by offering privacy, charm & luxury.
Lydia, the Distillery's housekeeper & cook, will prepare & serve 7 meals per week (5 lunches & 2 evening dinners; or 7 lunches) - except Sundays. Her talents are included in the villa's rates - you simply pay for groceries & beverages. A self-serve complimentary breakfast buffet will also be set out every a.m. except Sundays. As part of your rental, Lydia will also provision the Distillery with groceries & drinks for arrival day (please let us know your preferences in advance), and will grocery shop once daily - in either case, you simply pay for the grocery costs.
NOTE: Although the Distillery has 5 bedrooms, it only sleeps 9 people.
Security Deposit $1,000.
