The apartment is on the first floor of a detached house in a residential cul-de-sac. Somnia is ideal for visitors who want easy access to the best beaches on the south coast, such as the famous Accra Beach (Rockley) and Hastings Boardwalk, as well as a fantastic range of bars, fast food outlets and fine dining restaurants to please all tastes. Local amenities, such as supermarkets, ATMs, pharmacies, and public transport, are within minutes' walk. Many popular visitor attractions are close by, such as the George Washington House, the Barbados Museum and the Garrison Savannah where visitors can mingle with locals and enjoy free horse racing during the season. The capital city, Bridgetown, offers fabulous duty-free shopping, including the famous Cave Shepherd department store. Somnia offers guests a comfortably furnished home-from-home. The spacious air-conditioned master bedroom has a double bed and offers views over the Caribbean sea. It has built-in wardrobes and masses of storage space. It opens onto a large, modern, tiled en-suite wet-room with a hot and cold shower and double vanity units. The second bedroom is also air-conditioned and offers a double bed, ample storage space and its own adjoining bathroom. After a day out at the beach or exploring Barbados’s many attractions, you can relax in the spacious open-plan lounge; watch internet TV, play board or card games, have a few rounds of dominoes, read a book from our small library or enjoy an eclectic selection of music. High-speed internet is available throughout the property for leisure or work purposes. Somnia is ideal for guests who prefer self-catering options. We offer a fully equipped kitchen with a good-sized fridge-freezer, microwave, six burner hob and oven with a grill, juicer, rice cooker, food processor, coffee grinder, coffee machine and just about every piece of kitchen equipment you will need. Perfect for guests wanting to try their hand at some Bajan dishes such as macaroni pie and flying fish. For those who prefer not to use their precious holiday time in the kitchen, there is a range of nearby restaurants and bars offering breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks, as well as a number of fast-food outlets offering free home delivery. Our agent, Trudi, can also arrange for a professional chef to come in and cook a special meal for you. Recent guests have used this service for Christmas dinner and for sampling traditional Bajan cooking. A special feature of Somnia is its large open veranda, furnished with easy lounging chairs and a dining table shaded from the sun. Take time to relax in an Adirondack lounger as you enjoy a lazy breakfast while planning the day's activities. In the afternoon, enjoy a chilled beer or wine, rum punch or whatever cocktail takes your fancy, (help yourselves to fresh coconuts and limes from the trees in the garden), while watching the antics of our resident family of green monkeys, or marvelling at the iridescent hummingbirds as they hover over the flowering plants. In the evenings, relax out here and enjoy spectacular sunsets over the Caribbean. Whatever time of day, the veranda is the perfect place to relax. Somnia is situated on a hill overlooking the Caribbean and is often blessed with a fresh breeze. But if you feel the heat you will enjoy the solar-powered air conditioning in the bedrooms, and all rooms have ceiling fans, as well as an array of floor and table fans for your comfort. A high chair and travel cot are provided for infants. Somnia accommodates four to five guests, so it is the perfect choice for a family, a couple or a group of friends. A housekeeper is available who will clean the apartment and change towels and bedding on a weekly basis. She will also give you a hand with your laundry if requested, though this is at the guests' own expense. The washing machine and dryer are in a separate utility room behind the house. There is free parking for up to three cars in the driveway, and guests are welcome to make use of the garden and the utility room. NEW FOR THE 2023 SEASON. Please note that we also have a 2-bedroom one bathroom apartment on the ground floor of Somnia. This can accommodate up to four people. It is ideal for guests with limited mobility, e.g. who cannot climb stairs. For larger groups/families, both apartments can be rented as a single house. Please do contact us if you are interested in this option. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Chef service - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Music library - Smart TV - Video games - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Single level property - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (limited availability) - Iron/ironing board - Meal delivery service - Phone ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping centre - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Golf - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Spelunking nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 990 square feet ## Similar properties ![On the beach, sun-loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18770000/18767700/18767695/07d9e8c6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Thomasville- Ideally near the beaches/entertainment, transportation, Free Wi-fi.

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. ##### Toni S.

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. ##### Ren W.

Stayed 11 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Saley L. 3 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Saley L. Stayed 27 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela S. 17 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy Disliked: Location #### 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. ##### Angela S.

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. ##### Philipp B.

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. ##### ROD P.

Proximity to the sites in Bridgetown and convenient parking accommodations were also plusses. ##### Robert C.

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. ##### Wendy H.

The property is located in a quiet residential neighborhood. We had a car and found the location to be ideal short driving distance to nearby beaches, restaurants and super markets. Highly recommended! ##### Marwan B.

Walked along to the Garrison and the Hilton in one direction and three quarters of the way to St Lawrence Gap in the other, just what we wanted to do. Catherine was lovely, neighbours friendly and we really appreciated the style and decor of your property. So all in all a very successful visit. Thank you for the opportunity of staying in Somnia, Very best wishes, James and Kim ##### James W.
