    • Pimento Hill is a spacious private home with a legendary history. The villa overlooks the Caribbean Sea and is located just five minutes from chic Round Hill where guests enjoy complimentary membership. It was originally built in the late 1950’s for an Italian Count and Countess in the period when Jamaica was a glamorous party destination for the early jet set. It attracted the likes of Noel Coward, Ian Fleming and the Kennedy’s, among many other notables.

    In early 2008, Pimento Hill was extensively renovated and refurbished to a high standard while retaining many period features and quality antiques. Today, its essence is the tasteful marriage of Colonial grandeur of a bygone era complemented by modern amenities and comforts one would expect in a luxury villa. Priceless chandeliers define character while marvelous meals emerge from the modern kitchen. European gardens, water features, hidden walkways and an arched bridge define the grounds outside comfortable bedrooms with top-of-the-line mattresses and en-suite bathrooms.

    Pimento Hill’s six acres abound in a tropical collection of fruit trees, including mango and the locally-renowned ackee. Large lawns encourage children to run around and even learn a bit of cricket from houseman Ralston. The large swimming pool and stone deck include an outdoor bar, third dining area and charming waterfall garden.

    Architecturally, the villa is constructed in four defined areas connected by footpaths.

     ENTRANCE HALL and MAIN VILLA
    One enters the Main Villa through a classic Italianate pink and cream marble entrance hall. This building houses the 1,000-square-foot Great Room on original mahogany floors and the extraordinarily large modern kitchen with six-burner gas stove and wide granite countertops. The inside formal dining area features a gleaming mahogany table and 10 Queen Anne chairs under a stunning crystal chandelier. The Great Room opens onto the long verandah with bar, comfy couches for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, and al fresco dining area for up to 20 guests.

    Completing the Main Villa is the 800-square-foot Blue Bedroom with antique French crystal chandelier. The en-suite bathroom includes a bathtub and separate shower. The Blue Room offers optional kingsize or twin beds plus a daybed for a child. French doors open to a small garden porch where eye-opener coffee or tea is placed early each morning.

One dressing room is fitted out with two twin beds for children; the second has a 13‘ dressing table and daybed for another child. Both the childen’s room and the dressing room open to their own en-suite bathrooms with mosaic-tiled circular sunken bathtubs with showers.
