Villa Hemingway House Barbados. As you might guess from its name, the Villa Hemingway House in Barbados takes design some cues from the equally charming Key West, Florida property where the world-famous author once resided. Yet, this four-bedroom gem has amenities and services that Hemingway himself might only have dreamt about. Sitting directly on the sands, it is located between Mullins and Gibbs Beaches on Barbados.

Designed by architect Larry Warren, the two-story property offers unprecedented sea views from upper and lower level terraces, but you can also savor the scenery from the many vantage points tucked into the private gardens and grounds. There is a lagoon style pool framed by a stone terrace and this features one of the most charming amenities imaginable - a gazebo styled like a tree house. With easy to open shutters, it can be entirely private or open to the surrounding views.

The terrace itself opens into the lower level interiors as well as the charming verandahs. Outside, the verandahs are stylishly furnished and allow you to gaze out to sea, savor the cool shade of the gardens, dine al fresco in many areas and enter the villa through the elegant arched doors. A great room with airy décor features formal dining with mid-century modern décor, a large living room and entertainment space, and direct access into the gourmet kitchen.

With a cook to make your meals, you may not need to explore the kitchen, but you won't want to miss it as it is a master work of modern and Arts and Crafts styles. There is also a full bar that connects the kitchen and living room.

The four bedrooms are located on the upper floor with a master suite taking the entire sea view. All bedrooms are king suites with premium sound systems, large and luxurious private baths and terrace access.

The Villa Hemingway House is an ideal retreat for family and friends and will become your new favorite destination in Barbados.
