Beautiful 5 bedroom villa with pool overlooking English Harbour

Exceptional, efficient team at Energie, nothing is too much trouble. Villa is in excellent location, close to bars, restaurants, and supermarkets. Ask Gary about Paula! She lives in the yellow house to the left of the Villa. It’s like you have your own private chef, she’s an amazing cook, plus she delivers itVilla.

Perfect location for easy access to Harbour area. Pool and outdoor area stunning, quiet with views across the harbour. Gary and the team very helpful with everything. Would stay again in a flash!

This Villa was the epitome of beauty and comfort Clean, spacious, equipped with all the amenities for a family or group needs. The pool is wonderful! Water is therapeutically warm and refreshing overlooking the harbor. Staff is friendly and was attentive to our needs Even though we traveled for a sad occasion, The Villa made it soothing. Thanks Gary and Calvin We will be back for sure.

Only limited text allowed here but reviewed more fully on TA and elsewhere. GOOD: - Excellent value - Beautifully clean - Easy parking - Very well equipped - Lovely patio & small infinity pool with amazing views - Outside fridge, barbeque, water cooler, laundry - Nicely quality, comfortable furniture - Good a.c. in bedrooms - Lovely, happy, helpful staff - Safe walking to bars & restaurants - Good gym MINOR NIGGLES: - Bed sizes, wardrobes, storage, mirrors & lighting for makeup all vary between rooms - Most bathrooms have no bug screen on the window - Although 5 bedrooms, in our opinion it's ideal for 6 or max 8, e.g. only 4 sunbeds and one small settee outside MAJOR ISSUE: The only massive problem is noise and lack of privacy from the martial arts/yoga studio which is literally right next to and overlooking the patio/pool area. Extremely noisy carate classes every few days totally ruin quiet afternoons relaxing by the pool, and regular evening yoga classes are horribly intrusive when relaxing to watch the sunset on the patio. For some inexplicable reason the stairs are not screened off so everyone walking up to the studio can look directly over the sunbeds, and even right into two of the bedrooms. Only flimsy, open slats between the studio and the patio/pool area allowing a clear view through. Worst of all the class instructors always leave the studio door open so not only can they look onto the patio and sunbeds but all the horrible noise is seriously disturbing. That door should always be kept shut but they choose never to do so. Also it would be so easy for them to put up a solid fence or screening along that side of the patio so that their guests can at least feel they have a little privacy. So prospective guests should be aware that this is very much a fitness centre with subsidiary accommodation rather than the other way round. Unfortunately this one issue is sufficiently serious as to prevent us from coming back again to what truly would otherwise be our ideal regular repeat winter sun vacation every year. IN SUMMARY: The White House is so very nearly perfect, if they would only take some very simple steps to mitigate the horrible noise and lack of privacy this truly would be a top recommendation. We really would love to return every year so we shall keep our eyes on their online descriptions and photos just in case the owners decide in future to solve this one problem. Fingers crossed.....

Had an absolutely amazing time with my partner and friends at the White House at Energie Retreat for my 50th birthday. The villa is great and very well equipped and a real bonus is that all five bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms. The terrace and pool are lovely, and the view from the villa, and to wake up to is fantastic. Special mention has to be made for Nickie who did absolutely everything possible, both before and during our stay to help us arrange things and to make it special. Also, Gary, who I initially dealt with was so helpful too. Only a couple of points to mention. The dishwasher should be positioned properly, or removed as it is not very stable (we didn’t bother using it). Secondly, the villa is in a beautiful elevated position to really maximise the views, however, it is really not suitable for anyone with mobility issues as the approach is very steep, and there are a lot of steps up to the entrance. Overall I would absolutely recommend it as a beautiful place to stay in the wonderful area of English Harbour.
