Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2004
Villa Gallega is owned by a small Italian family and managed by ICARVS, a Swiss agency with offices in Manhattan New York, Rome, Milan and Lugano.
Why the Owner Chose Barrio Florida Hill
Vieques is very low key, perfect for artists or people that want to escape that metropolitan lifestyle, that we experience in New York. The beaches are amazing, most of them are empty and peaceful. There is not much room for building, and construction in Vieques is really a huge task, the Island will always be tranquil and never over crowded. The main reason to buy property here is to get that sense of privacy and isolation, a feeling we did not get from other islands.
yes, it's hard to get things done, everything have to be imported. if the AC breaks it can take 2 months or more to get it fixed, if you need a new refrigerator it can take a month or more to get it, if a glass gets broken, it can take a miracle to get it repaired. It's not the place for those that expect 5 star hotel service, bars and great restaurants. it a place to enjoy the beach, sun tan, relax, swim, read, paint, write ... More for artists and intellectuals. definitely out for party animals.
The Unique Benefits of this Villa
Peace! This is absolutely the perfect location and place to call an oasis of peace. We like to paint, write, my mother compose piano music, my partner is an actor and learning a script here without all those distractions we have in Manhattan or Rome, is just a much easier task. There are only serene sounds blending with a spectacular mother nature, everything is close, the beach the airport, the supermarket, but at the same time we are away from everything, the hill is private and very well protected.

The title pretty much says it. I loved this place. I hate resorts, and crowds of people. Vieques is a quiet and relaxed island, and this house made the stay perfect. It really felt like home. We had our own house, pool, tv, everything. The pictures in the ad are great, but really don't do the place justice. I can't wait to come back.
Owner response:Thank you for your review. We will have some more pictures taken.

We were here in Feb., 2010. The photographs are very accurate, but can't begin to convey the beauty of this location. From the private hilltop setting, spectacular unobstructed views from comfortable lounge chairs on expansive decks, stylish and tastefully-appointed villa with all the amenities of home (and then some), this was a very difficult place to leave. The local property manager went above and beyond in assisting us, responding to questions, and providing helpful tips about the island. We would recommend this to anyone, and expect to return ourselves. --Kelly and Rob (ohio)

We enjoyed every moment spent at Villa Gallega, from the time we reserve it with their New York agents to the smooth arrival, they had their own driver picking us up and taking us to the car rental, a local manager assisting with everything and the house is just wow. Clean, immaculate, well maintained, charming, and even if secluded on this private hill, is centrally located. We loved the swimming pool with salt water, but was not expecting to be so big, looks more like a hotel pool. The services are definitely better that most hotels and our time was just too short. The house has a high degree of style and architecture, is finely furnished with taste and balance. The house is really quiet, peaceful and relaxing. We loved getting up in the morning and watching the ocean wiews. One plus is that Villa gallega has a pool and a nice outdoor SPA that we really enjoeyd. the island is a little simple, good restaurants, very cordial people. the beach is definitely the plus of Vieques and frankly you won't need beach chairs, most beaches have bungalows you can use for the day and free of charge, bring towels and something to drink. We will definitely return and recomend Vieques and this home to our good friends. Fairly priced.
Recommended for:Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, age 55+.

Serene and superb, minimal elegance and very peaceful, the villa is clean and close to everything, specially to the beach. this house is on a private hill very well protected and safe. Well equipped, great selections of movies, spectacular views from every deck. We loved the Italian touch and the espresso maker by Lavazza for our morning latte and cappuccino. I will come back.

A great house, small kitchen but functional, large living room. Very clean. Lot of stairs, not suitable for old people but well designed for privacy. Everyone had its own deck. Bedrooms have AC, living room is comfortable if one or 2 AC are left on during the day. We loved the views and sitting on the decks to read or drink wine. The villa close to everything, I would definitely come back next year. The house is unique, modern and minimal but tastefully furnished. It was perfect for the 6 of us and the price was fair. No dishwasher but we ate out almost every day. Good housekeeping service. Fun outdoor hot tub, specially at night.
Owner response:Thank you, yes the kitchen is not a gourmet Kitchen, functional but definitely not a chef kitchen :) We managed to make Lasagna alla Bolognese for 10 people last summer and home made Tagliatelle, there is enough room to be creative.

Original Message From: catherine dupree Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2005 4:54 PM To: troy Subject: thanks! Hi Troy, Just wanted to let you know we returned yesterday from our fantastic trip to Vieques. You were right, the island and the house were just splendid (although the weather could have behaved a bit better...). Both Romy and Vicky were incredibly helpful and kind. Romy really went out of her way to make sure we were having fun, and even invited us to her dinner party where we met all the local restaurant impresarios and learned straight from the horse's mouth just how maddening operating a business there can be! We were particularly impressed by the quality and sophistication of the Vieques restaurants (although sad to learn of the demise of FoodSpace). We think that Tropical Baby, which Vicky recommended to us, was far and away the best food on the island. Her BYO dinner was superb--akin to a meal in NYC or Philadelphia restaurant--and shockingly reasonably priced! Everyone was so friendly and we met a slew of fun folks, including, if can believe it, the guy we're subletting a Tribeca apartment from this summer. It also turns out my fifth grade art teacher runs a gallery there. Lots of small worlds colliding. Anyway, please give both Romy and Vicky our thanks for a glorious time. With any luck, we'll be back in Vieques in the near future. All best, Catherine
Owner response:Thank you for your nice coment, we are looking forward to see you again in Vieques. Romy Bianco

enchanting and immaculate, I would like to thank you for the wonderful time. Ivan and Milly are superb people, the house is clean, peaceful, we love this simple elegance. Tastefully furnished, not overdone. The kitchen is small but very functional, we ate out most of the time anyway. The views are spectacular and the peace of this house is magic. We will be back next year for another 2 weeks Lucien and Family Italy
Owner response:Lucien thank you for the Cd of Italian music, it was a pleasure to meet you Gabriella, Guido, Luisa and Linda. We are loking forward to see you again. Romy

I am surgeon, I love the peace and tranquillity of this house. Been renting it few times already of for a month at a time. I love the views, the sunset, the fact that I am in the middle of eeverything and at the same time away from noisy crowds. I got the feeling to be in a peaceful art gallery. Don't rent this villa if you love noise, roasters, people minding your business, and nosy neighbors. We want here to escape the City, sorry I am not looking for crowds and children screaming all day.
Owner response:thank for the coment and thank you for giving your professional opinion about Ivan's knee. It was a pleasure having you and your family again at Villa Gallega

Private with amazing views, lot of art, colour, nice outdoor hot tub, fine welcome package, very clean, modern and not cluttered. We come here all the way from Europe and rent the place for the month. This is a modern and quiet house, lot of green, flowers, good assortment of movies, hi-speed internet. Small kitchen but well equipped, we managed to bake pizza. We felt safe here and really pampered. It's just 5 to 10 minutes drive to every beach. The Villa's Views are breathtaking.
Owner response:Thank you Kathia, it was a pleasure to deal with people so well mannered and caring like you, your brother and your mother Giovanna. D. Thomas property manager
