In season the Villa can produce bananas, mangos, pineapples, coconut and a host of colourful tropical shrubs including a muliti coloured array of Borganvilla, Oleander, Hibiscus, Yellow Bells, and a spectacular Flamboyant tree.
Villa Pimenta is the botanical name for the Caribbean plant better known as Allspice!
Internally and externally everything is new. The furnishings were selected for your luxury comfort but above all for their Caribbean flair. As soon as you open the doors to Villa Pimenta you are struck by the spectacular ocean vista. These unobstructed views can be enjoyed from the spacious living area, the large covered patio and from the beautiful poolside patio.
The villa is open and airy with vaulted ceilings and hand made terracotta tiles throughout. Ceiling fans and louvered windows allow the rooms to be kept cool by the trade winds. Montserrat Villas do not need air conditioning.
There is a large well equipped kitchen, locally handcrafted from red cedar, and it is open to the living area inside and out. Whether you plan on cooking a gourmet meal or using the BBQ you will find what you need.
The master bedroom with King size bed is huge, opening onto the covered patio and leading to the beautifully inviting 32 ft pool. The en suite has a very spacious walk in shower, and there is walk in dressing room .
The guest twin bedroom and second bathroom are separated from the master suite by the living area. The pretty bedroom has lovely ocean views, and you will be lulled to sleep by the sound of waves. There is a third small sleeping area with bunk beds.
There is also a ground floor suite with queen bed, and single Z bed, en suite shower room, sitting room and small kitchenette. Lovely garden and ocean views. This can be rented with the main house, or separately for USD 75.00 a night.
Around the newly refinished pool there are 6 sun loungers. The covered patio has comfy prettily covered wicker furnishings for relaxing in and enjoying the view as you chill with a cool refreshing drink.
Villa Pimenta has a TV, DVD player, stereo, and a growing collection of books DVDs and music for your enjoyment.
Villa Pimenta is professionally managed. Airport and ferry pick up, car hire, provisions can all be arranged. There will be plenty of information at the villa regarding grocery stores, banking, and restaurants. Housekeeping is provided, and there are laundry facilities at the villa.
Montserrat is "a Caribbean treasure, spectacular by nature" and it is truly so. It has a rich history, and there are excellent local guides who will show you their island home including a visit to see the "modern day Pompeii" that was once the busy capital city of Plymouth. In 1995 the Soufriere Hills Volcano came to life and the city is now buried in ash.
Montserrat is a British Colony with British Governor General. AIR Studios back in the 80's, built by Sir George Martin, were a huge draw to some world famous musicians including Sir Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, The Police, The Rolling Stones, Elton John, to name but a few. The studios were moved to London, but Sir George and his wife maintained their home in Montserrat and with the support of many artists worked tirelessly to raise funds for the building of the cultural and community centre that was opened by HRH Prince of Wales and his wife in 2008.
There is something for everyone on Montserrat. Numerous hiking trails for all levels, and guides can be arranged. There are 33 species of birds to be 'spotted' and through August and September the Green Turtle, the Hawksbill, and the Loggerhead turtles come ashore to lay their eggs on the beach.
There are a number of excellent dive centres offering instruction and tours in the pristine waters around the island. Snorkeling may be your choice, and again tours and equipment rental if you require, are available, as are kayaks.
Many large game fish can be found in the local waters, charter boats and tours are available. Or you can join the locals along the shoreline and try your luck.
Bikes can be rented, horse riding is offered, and a very well respected resident photographer offers a number of courses a year.
The shimmering volcanic sandy beaches are usually deserted. There will be no one trying to sell you beads or tours! The people of Montserrat are the friendliest you will meet anywhere in the world. Always ready with a smile a wave and happy to share a joke. Crime is almost unheard of.
