Fantastic 3 week stay
Thoroughly enjoyed Porter's Court both the #2 accommodations and the pool area. Great location for utilizing the fanastic area beaches. Very central to enjoy everything that the Holetown through Speightstown area has to offer, as well easy and convienent to drive to other areas of Barbados.

A beautiful escape with space to relax
The home is beautiful with lots of space. The kitchen is fully equiped, but bring your own tupperware and dried goods. The pool is incredible and the property shared with the other 8 cottages is immaculate. The property is gated and very safe. The beach is a 3 minute walk and stunning. A car is not necessary because the island buses are frequent and inexpensive; we rented a car for ease with travelling further to explore other parts of the island. Would recommend this cottage or other ones in the complex!

Wonderful winter holiday
This villa was perfect for our needs. It was completely equipped and comfortable for our extended stay. We ate all our meals on the porch and enjoyed the view of the bougainvillea and the smell of the orchid tree. We spent most of our days at the beach, but would enjoy the oasis of calm when arriving back to the villa. We walked to Lonestar and Jumas for supper, but there are also restaurants on the beach for lighter fare. We took the ten minute bus ride into Holetown to Massy grocery store, and then grabbed a taxi for the return trip. Sarah was a delight to deal with and Sheila with her twice weekly visits, kept the villa in tip top shape. We look forward to our return to paradise.

Awesome
Porter's Court is perfect. The ease of booking and dealing with Sarah and Jeanine made our stay fantastic. They both made sure that we had everything we needed to make our holiday perfect. Porter's Court is a hidden gem .. just off the beaten path making for a quiet and relaxing stay, yet steps away from the beaches, Holetown and some fabulous restaurants.

Our family are delighted to welcome you to Hibivillea here at Porters Court on the beautiful paradise island of Barbados. As founder owners we have shared many wonderful memories over the years and have taken great delight in opening up our home for the enjoyment of our guests. Traditionally having rented through word of mouth or to repeat guests - we are happy to pass on personal reviews or give you the contact of prior guests, who still book direct with myself.

I currently live in the UK where I used to own an Events Company in the travel and tourism sector specialising primarily in Barbados. My past work experiences have seen me coordinate numerous wedding events on the island, one in particular at the world famous "Cliff Restaurant venue" I have also worked on a number of sports projects including the 2007 Cricket World Cup held here in Barbados. I have made many wonderful friends and associates during my time living on the island and very much look forward to sharing my expert knowledge with future guests staying in our wonderful villa.

I shall be delighted to answer any questions you may have regarding our property and also to offer any information you may require in respect of activities and places of interest.

Barbados is truly a part of my soul ..... i hope you too will embrace a touch of paradise!


Why they chose this property

Our property is a classic Bajan style villa tucked away in a secure private development allowing complete peace of mind to our guests. Whether you are visiting alone or with a young family, Porters Court is a safe environment where children can run free.

Our wonderful housekeeper will look after you with her beautiful smile, her loyalty is unquestionable and we very much consider her part of the family.

Hibivillea is located only a few minutes walk from Alleyne Beach with access to the local beach bar and highly rated Lonestar Restaurant where the sun sets over the ocean at the end of each day.

I really do have so many happy experiences here .. to wake up on a beautiful sunny morning walk out onto our private terrace and look up at the palm trees and clear blue skies to me is absolute paradise.

What makes this property unique

Our air conditioned villa with also ceiling fans is a detached property in a secure private development where you can relax and enjoy the peaceful tropical surroundings. It's location really does make a difference to your stay.

Breakfast on the front terrace whilst watching the sunrise is to me just the best feeling!
