Introduction to Stanford House
Introduction
This stunning privately owned 5 bedroomed villa boasts a superb location and takes full advantage of all that Barbados has to offer. Just a few minutes drive inland from the glorious beaches, shops and dining attractions of the west coast,yet tucked discreetly away along Holder’s ridge opposite the Barbados Polo Club, to offer a private and exclusive retreat.
From the minute you drive through its gates, you will realise you have arrived somewhere very special indeed. Your gaze will be drawn from the Romanesque fountain that is the focal point of the front drive through the villa itself and out towards exceptional views over the West Coast and Caribbean Sea beyond.
Sumptious and elegantly furnished, Stanford House and its residents are lovingly cared for by the house butler Victor and cook Roxanne along with a full time maid and a laundress. Additional staff including a chef can be arranged.
