Alfresco is a wonderful luxury secluded property within a private hillside estate overlooking the beautiful Long Bay Beach. There are 2 pavilions which offer spacious living & plenty of deck space for you to relax. Alfresco has been finishes to a very high standard, with a swimming pool with virtual infinity edge offering a panoramic view of neighbouring islands Jost Van Dyke, Sandy Cay & onward to other Virgin Islands.
You will enter the property through an imposing mahogany door into a mezzanine level which adjoins the living room with stunning views out to sea. Sweep down the curvaceous staircase into the living room & relax into one of the sumptuous sofas. There is a vast selection of channels on the 54†satellite TV, a good selection of DVDs can be watched on the DVD & the music system is right there too if you prefer some music to listen to, either using your own ipod/iphone or something from our collection. The wonderful main deck is right outside where you can enjoy the fabulous vista, take a dip in the pool or simply enjoy Alfresco living with lunch around the table. The pool has LED lighting with multi-coloured themed lighting which is spectacular at night! The pool also has Solar Heating from the pool deck, which gives you a few more degrees more heat in the winter months. There is an umbrella for you to take in the breezes & enjoy the shade.
The mezzanine leads you to the Kitchen with its well-appointed high end units with granite counter-tops & stainless steel appliances. Even the kitchen sink is a great place to look out at the amazing sea view. Should you need any provisions for your arrival, just let us know & this can easily be arranged. The Dining Room beacons you from the kitchen with its majestic views of the islands. The glass & stone table is bespoke in this open air pavilion & gives a nice airy feeling to your dining experience. The dining area is also a great place at night which provides an elegant setting for dinner, whether you are cooking yourself or if you decide to bring a chef in.
From the Dining Room you have easy access down a curving opening arms staircase to the splendorous main deck, planters are filled with local palms, bird of paradise, heliconia, gingers & bougainvillea. Once at the pool, take a dip, enjoy the views & relax in the sun on the comfortable sun beds, there is an outdoor shower on the deck. In the evening enjoy this area with a cocktail, watch the sun go down, marvel at the fabulous pool colour sequences (programme your personal colour favourites). You might want to rev it up a bit, put on some music & have some friends over you have met during your stay.
All rooms have large sliding doors which disappear into the walls to open up the house, this offers open plan living & complete flexibility to move around Alfresco with ease. Plenty of books are available, if you don’t finish one take it home, please leave one in its place so the next guest has some reading pleasure too. Board games are provided for an evening in.
The bedroom pavilion offers an upper level Master Suite. This has beautiful views of the islands & beyond from the balcony & spacious outdoor private deck. The bathroom is finished with a gorgeous stone Travertine & natural pebbles, the oversized shower offers you an invigorating experience. You can marvel at the wonderful wood ceiling as you look up from your king size bed handcrafted in reclaimed teak from Bali. You will be sleeping under Egyptian cotton percale which will give you a luxurious night’s sleep. If you stay in October, there is a wonderful Jacaranda tree full of cotton like flowers which cascades over the outdoor private terrace leading out from the bathroom. There is also an extra single bed which can be used, should you wish to have one of the children in with you.
The second bedroom can be found at deck level & offers comfy easy access. You can choose either twins or a king size bed for this room depending on your needs. Same Egyptian cotton for that perfect night’s sleep. Again this bathroom is finished in lovely stone Travertine & natural pebbles with beautifully bespoke mill work in the bathroom. The private wrap around deck can be used as another area to relax & enjoy your stay. We have an extra single bed if this works better for a family stay or perhaps a 7th guest.
The third bedroom is very private & leads down from the main deck via steps to an outdoor space overlooking trees & landscape. You can enjoy the sea views & ocean sounds at night if you wish to. This bedroom has a low 4 poster Queen Bed with local art work to give a contemporary feel to this space. Again luxury Egyptian cotton is featured throughout the property. The bathroom is finished with stone Travertine and natural pebbles in your lovely spacious walk in shower. At Alfresco you can enjoy the privacy of this bedroom. Ideal for 2 couples staying, so you have some privacy.
This property is easily accessible to Long Bay Beach if you want to drive or walk, up to you. Smugglers Cove is around the corner (need to drive) unless you are fit! There are local restaurants within driving distance of the property, on Long Bay Beach Tropical Fusion is the nearest restaurant, Sebastian’s is just over the hill, you have The Sugar Mill restaurant just on from that & other local eateries, D’Coalpot restaurant is in Carrot Bay which is a fabulous place to eat locally. Soper’s Hole Marina is just 6 minutes ride away, and there’s a local restaurant there where you can watch the sailors coming in after a day at sea. You can also look around the marina & see all the larger yacht’s moored up or just stopping by for some supplies. A nice place to relax.

Amazing experience with our family! - We took our 2 kids to Alfresco Villa for a family winter vacation. The villa is beautiful, views are breathtaking & the owner/ property manager give great instruction, advise on anything you need. I even asked where to get bug spray & beach toys for my 3 year old, both items showed up at our door the same day! We would definitely stay here again. It was a real experience!

Spectacular property - Alfresco is a spectacular property. Everything you can imagine plus more. The views are stunning, the pool fabulous & everything about the house was wonderful. The layout is well thought out & is terrific for reading in a private getaway or getting the group together in the central areas of the house. The assistance & advice that Allison gave prior to our arrival was second to none & the help we received from members of the staff was extremely helpful. We are already in discussions about dates for our next stay at Alfresco Villa. Date of arrival September 15, 2018 Jim & Cindy
We loved Alfresco! - We loved Alfresco! It was so accommodating for what we needed. The view was phenomenal & the pool was perfect! Everyone on the island was so attentive & the management staff you have there worked well with us as we arrived later than expected due to flights being delayed. We will be staying again for sure! Date of arrival May 31, 2018
A beautiful place to be able to call home for a week! -
We had a wonderful stay on Tortola in Alfresco. The house is gorgeous, outdoor spaces abounding - plenty of room to gather as a family (5 & 3 year old children) & plenty of space, indoor & out, to read to find privacy to read or nap or enjoy the view. Luxuriating in the pool looking out over the ocean to Jost Van Dyke is amazing, & having everything so well laid out & appointed around you made our week a dream. The island itself is an adventure to discover. The guidebook in the house is very helpful & we found our way to many different beaches on the North Side where we snorkeled & relaxed, climbed Sage Mountain, rented a boat for the day, & enjoyed dinners out as well as in. The owners will recommend 4W drive & it is very handy to have - we had some rain showers & it makes you feel nice & secure to have 4W drive under you. Making the arrangements couldn't have been easier, & everyone involved was extremely helpful & responsive to our questions in preparation for going & while we were there. Thank you for helping us have a wonderful family vacation!

Breathtaking Villa!
Alfresco simply is the MOST beautiful villa with the most SPECTACULAR views in BVI! Not only is it in a great location, high above Long Bay & close to Soper's Hole, Smuggler's Cove, etc., but the views are as picturesque as you can possibly imagine. Each room has it's own full bath with walk in, open showers, Air Con (thank you!!!), the kitchen is wonderful & we ate outside most nights. Why would you go out when you can enjoy such a gorgeous setting? We all enjoyed the pool, especially my boyfriend Marc! Alfresco is the best place on the island. Coley Sullivan
