Fairholme

Description:

• Lying a 5-minute walk from a good beach, this converted plantation house has been enlarged over the past 20 years or so with a handful of connected annexes. The main house and its original gardens are just off a major road, 10km (6 1/4 miles) southeast of Bridgetown. The older section has 10 double rooms, each with a living-room area and a patio overlooking an orchard and a pool. The best units are the 20 Spanish-style studio apartments, which have cathedral ceilings, dark beams, traditional furnishings, and balconies or patios. Air-conditioning is available only in the studios, while the older doubles have ceiling fans.
