Villa Allento - The Slow House - so named because your life will slow down dramatically within 72 hours of your arrival.
Villa Allento is on the northside of Roatan Island, part of the Bay Islands, 35 miles off the coast of Honduras in the western Caribbean. This very private villa sits high on a quiet hillside overlooking Politilly Bight, roughly in the middle of the island, with incredible ocean views from east to west. It is well removed from the crowded and noisy West End, but only 15 minutes from French Harbor shopping, restaurants and dive shops, 30 minutes from the airport, and 45-60 minutes from the West End bars and restaurants. Its hillside location above the trees means there is always a breeze, no sand fleas, and a magnificent view of Politilly Bight and miles of reef.
The 3500 square foot home (designed by internationally known Hal Sorrenti) has an open and rambling design, arranged around a 1600 square foot courtyard with a plunge pool. Inside and outside spaces merge seamlessly in this design. Even the master and guest suite showers have beautiful ocean views! Eat in our open air dining room or gather around the huge countertop in the kitchen. The house is fully applianced, with microwave, dishwasher, wall oven, gas grill, electric cooktop, full-sized washer and dryer, stereo, VCR and even satellite TV. No, there is no internet service, that just doesn't fit with the slow life, but there is an internet cafe nearby if you feel the need to stay connected with the rat race. And no air conditioning is necessary, since the constant trade winds and fans will keep you comfortable more naturally. Not just a place to sleep, some guests never leave the villa during their stay.
Our local property manager will meet you at the airport to acquaint you with the island, direct you to the house and provide first night and morning's provisions so you won't have to rush around shopping for groceries on your first night on the island. Mariano, our caretaker/gardener is on-site 24/7 and maid service is available upon request. A modern medical/dental clinic is located just a 10 minute drive away. Other properties are available nearby for larger parties.
Yes, everything you see in the pictures is part of Villa Allento and is included in the low rental rate. There are no hidden fees or taxes and by booking directly with the owner in the United States, you legally avoid the 16% Honduran tourist tax. This is a beautifully designed and furnished premium property, much nicer than most other rentals on Roatan, but no more expensive.
There are direct flights weekly to Roatan via Grupo TACA, Delta, and Continental from Houston, Atlanta and Miami. TACA, Continental, Delta, and American all have daily flights to San Pedro Sula on the mainland, just a short connecting hop from the island.

This is a new service for Villa Allento, so there aren't any comments here yet. If you would like to see the comments from previous renters, feel free to contact me and I'll forward you some of the emails I have received following guest visits. We have yet to find anyone who didn't love the house and enjoy their stay at Villa Allento.
