Melissa is a great family villa in Barbados, offering a 3 bedroom main house and a 2 bedroom cottage with an enclosed garden and private pool, only a few minutes walk from the beach. Barbados is fabulous at any time of the year, with its white sandy beaches, shimmering blue Caribbean seas and some of the friendliest Caribbean people you'll ever meet.

Villa Melissa is located on the fashionable and sought after west coast in the parish of St James close to Holetown and a short beachfront stroll to luxury resorts such as Coral Reef Club, Colony Club, Royal Pavilion and Glitter Bay. A delightful, but very private Barbados Villa rental set in tropical Caribbean gardens in Queens Fort which provides access to the beach by way of its own path.

Villa Melissa is an understated luxury Caribbean Villa vacation experience and can be rented in its entirety as a 5 bedroom Villa rental or alternatively as a 3 bedroom Villa rental by taking just the main house without the Cottage. As with many Caribbean Villas, holiday life is centred around outdoor living and soaking up the Caribbean atmosphere and the hospitality of the Caribbean Villa staff. Villa Melissa is no exception and comes with staff, a laid back butler Victor who focuses on ensuring you have a relaxing time and the warm and big hearted Maria who cooks and fusses over mouth watering meals to suit most palates.

A shallow free form pool wraps itself around the patio in the middle of picturesque gardens. The pool is particularly suited for families where children can be watched from the waters edge whilst sun bathing on comfortable loungers. Alfresco dining - all meals are taken either on the coral stone patio or can be taken by the pool. The house comes with an experienced cook who will prepare meals as and when required and especially for memorable occasions.

All of the five bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, ceiling fans and a combination of King, Queen and twin beds to suit most requirements. The cottage is completely made of old coral stone and has 2 bedrooms with bathrooms, a kitchen and 2 patios - an ideal arrangement for two families or groups of friends. Being private and having a fabulous west coast location with the beach, restaurants and nightlife allows even celebrities to get away from it all. The staff are always at hand to ensure that your stay is both relaxing and enjoyable. The property also benefits from wireless internet for those bringing their own laptops to keep in touch and also a flat screen television and bose speakers for a film or music when escaping the sun.

New Service - Villa Melissa now provides a beach service with 6 beach chairs and an umbrella on the beach. Victor, the butler will also provide liquid refreshments as required.

What our customers say
	We cannot say enough about how wonderful your home was, the space was beautiful and suited us perfectly! My husband and I stayed in the cottage and loved how much privacy we had from the house. It really was perfect for our group. I am sure that you hear it all the time, but Maria and Victor are simply amazing! Within a few minutes of knowing them, we were very comfortable and we felt like family. Victor, Maria, and Michelle went above and beyond any expectations we had and if the opportunity ever came again, I would definitely return to Villa Melissa.

	October 09
	We completely surrendered to the charm and grace of Victor, Maria and Pauline. Everything from the first tea to the sandwiches made for the trip home were excellent. We enjoyed a wide range of cuisine and especially loved the fish that Maria prepared...... Victor was outstanding and never hesitated to fulfill a request. He was patient, pleasant and expedient in his tasks and we very much felt at ease within his care. He was outstanding. Pauline was also very capable and did an excellent job of keeping everything clean and keeping us in towels and linens....... We would love to come back again as we had an amazing vacation at Villa Melissa. Thank You,
