“What a find!” Villa 423 really is the best of both worlds - part of a resort with its bars, restaurants, spa, live music etc, yet located at the far end of a perfect beach to provide you with the peace, privacy and exclusivity of a 5* villa holiday. We loved it and hope to return soon. The villa itself is immaculately kept and provides everything you need. A real home from home. The views from both the bedroom level and the first floor living area level are simply stunning. Do hire a car or take a taxi to Valley Beach - picture perfect. Other must do's are the Sunday sunset and party at Shirley Heights, and lunch at Jacqui O's - stay late and dance on the beach. Bliss!

“A piece of paradise.” I have now stayed in Shell Villa on three occasions within the last two years simply because as soon as I come home, I miss it and want to return. Shell Villa is perfectly situated on the Falmouth side of the island and the house itself is totally private and not overlooked by any neighbours, therefore it offers peaceful tranquillity. The views from Shell Villa are simply spectacular; you can lye in the pool by day watching the banana quits and birds of prey flying overhead and then relax on the decking with a rum in hand to watch the sun setting over Monserrat island in the evening. There are all of the modern conveniences that you would expect in a villa of this quality: en-suite bathrooms for every bedroom, a beautifully maintained garden and pool (and fantastic cleaner, Daphne who will ensure you have everything you could possibly need), cooking equipment etc. but the thing that makes Shell Villa a place you want to keep coming back to is the added extras which make it more like a home away from home; something you just don't get in hotels and most rental properties. For example, the house has its own library where guests can borrow books during their stay. There is fabulous artwork around the vlla and the kitchen is equipped with every possible thing you could require including cookbooks and recipes from around the island so it is great for those who enjoy experimenting with local food. From the villa, one can walk to local beaches, snorkel off the rocks (I have yet to find better snorkelling in another part of the island) as well as being well situated for the bars and restaurants at Falmouth Harbour, just a 10 minute drive or taxi away. Antigua is an amazing island with beautiful beaches, rainforest-like landscape, wonderful food and lovely people. Shell Villa really is a small piece of paradise nestled within this natural beauty and I would recommend anyone to stay here.
