Smuk, rummelig aircondition lejlighed tæt på sydkyst strande
Sommeren er snart over nord, men her i Barbados er det kun lige begyndt. Vi tilbyder en speciel sommerrabat på GBP70 / US $ 99 pr. Nat, så du kan få din del af solskinnet.
Velkommen til Somnia, et ferieparadis i hjertet af Garrison World Heritage Centre og kun få minutter væk fra de vidunderlige strande, barer og restauranter i Christchurch, Barbados.
Somnia er ideel til besøgende, der ønsker nem adgang til de bedste strande på sydkysten, såsom den berømte Accra Beach (Rockley) og Hastings Boardwalk, samt et fantastisk udvalg af barer, fastfood-forretninger og fine restauranter for at glæde alle ganer. Der er nyttige faciliteter lige ved hånden, såsom supermarkeder, banker, apoteker, vinhandlere og offentlig transport. Mange populære turistattraktioner er inden for rækkevidde, såsom Garrison Savannah, hvor besøgende kan blande sig med lokalbefolkningen og nyde nogle spændende hestevæddeløb i løbet af sæsonen, George Washington House og Barbados Museum. Bridgetown, hovedstaden, ligger en kort køretur væk, med en række butikker, herunder den berømte Cave Shepherd stormagasin og historiske seværdigheder.
Somnia tilbyder gæsterne et komfortabelt møbleret hjem-fra-hjem. Det rummelige luftkonditionerede soveværelse har en dobbeltseng og har udsigt over det caribiske hav. Det har indbyggede skabe og masser af lagerplads. Det åbner op til et stort, moderne, flisebelagt en-suite vådrum med et varmt og koldt brusebad og dobbelt forfængelighed enheder. Det andet soveværelse er også air-condition og tilbyder en dobbeltseng, rigelig opbevaringsplads og eget tilstødende badeværelse.
En rummelig, komfortabelt møbleret åbent plan stue og spisestue tilbyder fremragende udsigt over de smukke akvamarin farvande i det caribiske hav. Efter en dag ude på stranden eller udforske Barbados mange attraktioner, kan du slappe af i den komfortabelt indrettede stue; se kabel-tv, legebord eller kortspil, få et par runder dominoer, læs en bog fra vores lille bibliotek eller nyd et eklektisk udvalg af musik. Højhastigheds internet er tilgængelig i hele ejendommen.
Somnia er ideelt for gæster, der foretrækker self-catering muligheder. Vi tilbyder et fuldt udstyret køkken med en god størrelse køleskab med fryser, mikroovn, seks blus, ovn med en grill, saftpresser, ris komfur, foodprocessor, kaffemølle, kaffemaskine og stort set hver stykke køkkenudstyr du får brug for. Perfekt til gæster, der ønsker at prøve deres hånd på nogle Bajan-retter såsom makaronipai og flyvende fisk.
For dem, der foretrækker at ikke bruge deres dyrebare ferie i køkkenet, er der en række nærliggende restauranter og barer, der tilbyder morgenmad, frokoster, middage og snacks samt et antal fastfood forretninger, der tilbyder gratis levering til hjemmet.
Et særligt træk ved Somnia er dens store åbne veranda, møbleret med nemme lounging stole og et spisebord skygge fra solen. Tag dig tid til at slappe af i en adirondack, da du nyder en doven morgenmad, mens du planlægger dagens aktiviteter. Om eftermiddagen, nyde en kold øl eller vin, rom punch eller hvad cocktail tager din smarte, (hjælpe jer til friske kokosnødder og limefrugter fra træerne i haven), mens du ser narrestreger af vores bopæl familie af grønne aber, eller forundres på kolibrier, da de svæve over de blomstrende planter festligholder veranda. Om aftenen kan du nyde spektakulære solnedgange over Caribien. Uanset hvilken tid på dagen er verandaen det perfekte sted at slappe af.
Somnia ligger på en bakke med udsigt over Caribien og er ofte velsignet med en frisk brise. Men hvis du føler varmen, vil du nyde det soldrevne klimaanlæg i soveværelserne, og alle værelser har loftsventilatorer samt et vifte af gulv- og bordventilatorer til din komfort.
En høj stol og barneseng til rådighed for spædbørn.
Somnia rummer fire til fem gæster, så det er det perfekte valg for en familie, et par eller en gruppe venner.
Lejligheden ligger på første sal i et fritliggende hus i et roligt kvarter. Der er gratis parkering til op til tre biler i indkørslen, og du er velkommen til at gøre brug af haven og stueetagen gårdhave.
En husholderske er tilgængelig som vil rengøre lejligheden og ændre håndklæder og sengetøj på en ugentlig basis. Hun vil også give dig en hånd med dit vasketøj hvis det ønskes. Vaskemaskinen og tørretumbleren er i et separat bryggers rum bag huset.

Hidden Gem
If you’re looking for a relaxing Bajan neighborhood experience, this is the perfect place. The patio is so delightful…we spent most of the time outdoors. One night I looked down and a tiny frog was sitting next to me. It can be a bit tricky to find the first time due to Google Maps inaccuracy, but easy to find if you take Dayrell road. Highly recommend…lovely stay.

Spring break
Overall property was nice with some beautiful elements like hard wood floors, nice decor, beautiful deck and bathrooms, etc. There are a few drawbacks - sofas and bedding a bit dated, noisy AC (and note only AC in bedrooms; living room, dining and kitchen can get quite warm), and a musty smell in second bedroom.

A lovely stay
We had a really lovely stay at Ian's place - it's comfortable and very well-equipped, with a fabulous terrace. Only a 10 minute walk to the beach but a decent supermarket is about 30 mins walk away, so a car is probably advised for some people. Communication with the hosts was great - they were really helpful and responded quickly. Thank you ;)

Great stay again at Somnia
This was our 2nd stay at Somnia. It's a lovely haven 10 minutes up from the beach in the fantastic neighbourhood of Navy Gardens. The property management is excellent, the place is clean and as advertised. The 2nd floor outdoor terrace is a game-changer. The only thing to be aware of is that it's a bit of an uphill trek (10-15 minutes) from the beach and shops if you don't have a car. Anette is the housekeeper who comes in weekly and she is lovely.

We loved our stay in Ian and Cecily‘s apartment! The apartment itself is very comfortable and suitable for a couple and friends. It is well appointed and has everything you need for self catering. We particularly loved their second-story terrace, which is huge and surrounded by plants and trees. Ian was extremely flexible and communicative during our process. Trudi, the property manager, and Annette, the cleaner, and Richard, the groundskeeper, were all fabulous. It’s located in a very quiet and safe neighborhood, and we will be sure to come back.

Outstanding in every way!
We stayed here in upper level for 10 days of our vacation and had friends join us. Above and beyond, pictures do not do it Justice for space, cleanliness and comfort. Has beach modern decor, air works great in bedrooms. Only improvement could be adding air to living room, but was not a big deal or concern. Had an outside issue which was not our hosts fault but they were on it to ensure it was quickly resolve and treated us to a wonderful Bajan lunch. They are very attentive!!
Location is perfect, 10 min quick to main road and Blakey’s restaurant on the Boardwalk. 10 min by car to Pebbles Beach. Sue’s Market is a quick 5 min walk and she has everything you can think of!! Wonderful lady!!
Jump on ZR for 3.50 BBD to the Gap.

Paradise at Somnia
We stayed at Somnia for the month of February. The house is divided into two spacious apartments. While we stayed in the upper apartment, I did get the chance to see the lower one (which is equally as lovely as upstairs). Our accommodation consisted of two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a very well equipped kitchen and a large dining/sitting room area that opened up onto a huge deck that was surrounded on three sides by trees and shrubs of all kinds. Because of the house’s fairly high location, the deck captured the soft breezes, a godsend particularly in the heat of the day, and attracted all manner of birds. The decor of the apartment was stunning with much attention to detail. I particularly enjoyed the artwork.
The house is an 8-minute walk from the beach and a very fine boardwalk that was built in 2012. It runs from Rockley beach to Hastings beach, some 1.5 kms, and is well used by locals and tourists alike. It was wonderful to walk along the shore and enjoy the ocean without having to dodge traffic. No dogs, bikers, rollerbladers are allowed on the boardwalk - just walkers and joggers. There were plenty of restaurants by the water and a farmers’ market every Wednesday and Saturday.
The owners, Ian and Cecily, were readily available by email as were the caretakers, Trudi and Randy. We had a problem with the a/c one day and within 24 hours, it was fixed. We were impressed. Trudi cooked us a delicious Bajan dinner one day - a real treat.
We didn’t have a car so relied on taxis and the prolific van buses which seemed to come along every two minutes and cost $3.5 Bajan to go anywhere on the island - surely one of the best and most efficient transit systems we’ve encountered in our travels.
All in all, we had a lovely time in Barbados which was made all the lovelier by our stay at Somnia.

Beautiful house but the Neigbouring dogs are loud
My husband and I spent 4 weeks in Somnia looking for a relaxing stay. This was not our first trip to Barbados. We plan on purchasing a property this year in Barbados. Our previous stay on the island was great.
Somnia is a clean, comfortable home away with a lovely veranda. The kitchen appliances aside from the fridge and stove are tired though. The first week the handle to the toaster fell off. It was brought to the attention of the Property Manager, Trudi and we said we'd make due with using a knife to push down the handle. Our coffee maker never worked properly taking over an hour to brew. Before the second week is stopped working all together. Trudi was contacted that day and she quickly responded stating she'd have it replaced. By the 3rd week we still had not seen a replacement coffee maker so we purchased our own. Trudi then offered to pay for it but since we plan having our own place we decided to keep it and store it for our next trip to Barbados.
The neighbouring houses are close and as such sound travels. We understand you cannot choose your neighbours but it should be understood if you're looking to rent this property that there are several noisy dogs. We are dog breeders ourselves and understand dogs bark. Most of the time it's because the owner's don't pay attention or correct them. In this case the neighboring dogs were quite disturbing. They would bark for 10 min at a time, 1/2 hour or 3 hours straight. The one night they barked from 9:30 pm - 11:30 pm non-stop. We only heard 1 owner correct their dog on 1 occasion, only for it to continue and the owner ignore it. Since the house in question is VERY close it be heard in the bedroom very easily with the windows closed and the AC on. We complained the first week to the the Property Manager, Trudi but she didn't seem to acknowledge our concern at that point. We didn't want to be "Karen's" so we didn't complain again until it got too much to ignore. By the end of the 2nd week we couldn't enjoy our stay with the windows open close the patio doors and windows at times just to watch tv. At this point we brought it to the attention of both the Property Manager and the Owner. If it hadn't been for the fact that we had paid good money to stay we would have packed up and found other accommodations. Will we return to Barbados? ABSOLUTELY. Would we ever stay at Somnia? Never again. The house is lovely but not the dogs. Not sure how Ian can resolve this issue.
Overnattede 28 nætter i november 2022
Svar fra VrboOwner den 20. dec. 2022
Our agents took steps to identify the source of the barking and they were assured by the owner that the dogs had been removed. Like many rental apartments on the island, Somnia is located in a residential neighbourhood and while this allows guests to enjoy the full experience of living alongside Bajans it does mean that guests should expect a certain level of noise as they would elsewhere. Our agents will always try to resolve any issues that arise but there are some things beyond our control. A quick read through our reviews should reassure potential guests that this was a rare occurrence and that over 90% of guests have enjoyed their time at Somnia (some are returning guests) and have given us 5* reviews. If you have any concerns at all about booking, please don’t hesitate to contact us and let us know what we can do to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

Wir haben unseren Start auf Barbados im Süden von Bridgetown gestartet. Die Unterkunft sowie der freundliche Kontakt mit dem Property Management war für unseren Beginn der Reise hervorragend. Die Unterkunft war sehr gut ausgestattet und wir können bestätigen, dass die Fotos von der Unterkunft diese sehr gut wiedergeben. Die Unterkunft macht einen sehr gut gepflegten Eindruck. Das Property Management war sehr fürsorglich und stand jederzeit für Fragen und Tips/Empfehlungen zur Verfügung. Für unseren Kurztrip in Bridgetown war die Unterkunft genau richtig.

Brilliant home away
Superb much better than a hotel in the best spot on the island. Convenient for airport and super beaches and restaurant bars, unbeatable. Some neighbouring noise but didn’t spoil the stay and is beyond the propietors control. May improve. Exceptional outside deck and fittings. Recommend this place.

Great stay near Bridgetown
Nice views of the ocean from the balcony and a terrific interior made our stay all we could ask for. Proximity to the sites in Bridgetown and convenient parking accommodations were also plusses.

Caribbean home away from home
We really enjoyed our 3 week stay at Somnia. The highlights were the large and breezy deck, the wonderful housekeeper as well as the property manager who clearly put her tenants first. The house is very comfortable for a couple and having the extra full bathroom was great for a short-term additional guest or two. The kitchen is also well equipped for self catering. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed the neighbourhood vibe. The only nuisance was the noise from one adjacent property but that could be ignored most times.

Om værten
Vært: Cecily and Ian Jones
We are Cecily and Ian, a British/Baijan couple currently living between south-east London and Barbados. We believe that our guests should enjoy their stay with us without interference, but when we are around we are happy to answer any questions, recommend places to visit, pick up groceries and deal with any problems. When we are not around we have an agent who can meet and greet and deal with any issues.
Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted
What makes Somnia different from other properties is its homely but comfortable feel and its quiet, secluded location. It definitely does not have the soulless hotel feel of many apartments we have stayed at. This means that you can enjoy the peace and serenity of what feels like a rustic setting, yet the bars, beaches and nightlife are close by when you want them.
Barbados holds special significance for us because Cecily was born here - in the "Scotland district", so-called because it is the hilly part of the island. We have have visited many times and spend as much time on the island as we can. Although Barbados is small, there are still many places that we have not yet visited and other places that have changed over the years and are worth a second, third or fourth visit. Some attractions that we believe you will never tire of are the Atlantis submarine trip, St Nicholas Abbey, Harrison's Caves, Hunte's Garden and any boat trip involving rum punch, excellent food and swimming with the turtles. We believe that you too will want to come back, once you have experienced the island.
Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt
What makes Barbados different from many other Caribbean islands is that it is comparatively well-developed and can feel "urban" and "western" but it is still Caribbean in the most important ways: the climate, the sunsets, the beaches, the rum punch, the food and the welcoming spirit of the people.
Barbados is also very accessible with frequent direct flights from several North American and UK cities. For example, Virgin and British Airways do daily flights from London Gatwick and also flights from Manchester and Glasgow. Because of the competition between them, special deals are often available.
Somnia's location is a perfect compromise between the bustle and noise of a beach front property and something more secluded and tranquil. From here you can conveniently enjoy all the amenities and activities that the island has to offer.
