The villa enjoys a gorgeous location within this iconic property along the island's West Coast with the added benefit of being a few minutes walk to the beach and other entertainment. The property offers a stately welcome with a winding driveway through an enchanting mahogany grove. An afternoon can easily be spent exploring the grounds of this historic gem, wandering the hidden pathway leading behind the pool and past the old sugar works. The villa, once the old carriage house, is a one-story retreat with an authentic wing that features coral stone and the original architecture on the exterior, and a modern wing that was more recently added to create a more spacious home. A sunken entry off an extensive front driveway and garden bids welcome to a cozy yet chic and contemporary interior. The original wing of the home comprises the master suite and the living room, both of which have tiled floors and large windows that create a vibrant, sunlit ambiance. The master features a king bed, air condition and a fan, as well as an en-suite bathroom with a single vanity, a glass-walled shower and a secondary entrance that leads into a hallway with a large closet and a smaller linen closet. The master also offers verdant views of the villa's gardens and driveway. The living room is a cozy nook complete with a calming, modern décor, a large comfy sectional, a study table and cable television. The living room then opens to the newer wing of the home, which includes the dining room, kitchen and the remaining two bedrooms. The dining area is the pièce de resistance of the home, with quasi-rustic décor including a large metalwork chandelier, marble floors and a semi-open-air ambiance thanks to its open design that flows into a small garden. It features a wall designed entirely of wooden shutters, and then it opens and flows directly onto the corridor that leads to the other two bedrooms in one direction, and to the villa's entrance in the other direction. This corridor's design features a wrought iron gate wall, which leads out into a small garden with a small, elevated lily pond. The dining room also has a high ceiling with an intricate woodwork design for optimum ventilation. The kitchen is very modern and spacious, with marble floors, quartz counter tops, an island, two sinks (one double and one single) stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher and espresso machine, tableware and a wall of windows that allow cooling natural breezes. There is also a small laundry room right off the kitchen. The remaining two bedrooms are identical in their positioning and offering, with walk-in closets, vanity, en-suite bathrooms with single vanities and glass-wall showers, twin beds that may be converted into king beds, and stunning unobstructed views of the Porters estate signature mahogany grove through large double doors. All guests have use of the estate swimming pool and gym during their stay. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the villa: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen -

We had a lovely time at Porters Villa. It is a beautiful spot and such a nice place for a family vacation. I hope our entire family can make it another time. Such beautiful grounds. The concierge, the staff were wonderful and everything went so smoothly. Can't thank you enough! It was a beautiful place! We loved it. ##### Nicole M.

It is definitely our home from home. Massive thanks to the fabulous Maria for being so welcoming and looking after us, and to Richard for keeping us safe and always with a smile. We will be back! ##### Paul o.

Thank you to the delightful Maria. We will miss her laughter and support in all our needs. All the staff have been extremely friendly and helpful. Loved the display of monkeys every evening and the croaking of the frogs. ##### Daniel S.

They have always been EXCELLENT. Thank you all! ##### Nicholas S. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tim H. 17 Jan 2022 #### 5 Star From the moment we arrived in Barbados all the arrangements that had been put in place happened seamlessly. The fast track through the airport, the transfer to the villa, a welcome from Asmara, Diana and Mania and a quick tour around the villa itself. The car hire arrived on time and all excursions were organised by Blue Sky very efficiently and were of top quality. I couldn't recommend the team highly enough. Tim and family. ##### Tim H. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Yiannis T. 30 Nov 2020 #### 1 Star Overpriced: fine. No sea view and no beach access: inexcusable. Even asked multiple times whether they partner up with some hotel that has access to the beach and the response was "the beaches in the island are all public" (yes except you need to swim to get to them because the hotels block access, and when you do get there you can't rent an umbrella unless you stay at the hotel). Also the "chef" was cooking pre-cut potatoes; his previous gig must have been at McDonald's. Overall, \*exactly\* the opposite of what I expected from a curated experience. ##### Yiannis T. ---
