Villa Life is Good for You
Living in a beautiful villa in Barbados, be it as an owner or a visitor on vacation, is undoubtedly one of life’s finer luxuries. Indeed, for many people, this is the most rewarding way to experience the best that Barbados has to offer. On the one hand, residents can blissfully enjoy total relaxation in the intimate surroundings of a private home, without having to consider the sensibilities of any strangers around them. While, at the same time, benefitting from a level of attentive personal service usually found at top resorts, with a dedicated team of staff members whose sole aim is to take good care of their guests.
This best of both world’s scenario can be advantageous to anybody, from couples to groups of friends, but it holds a particularly special appeal for families looking to spend rare quality time together. A family vacation in a villa in Barbados is not just a break away from the norm, it is an ideal opportunity to bond and create lifetime memories, especially for children.
The Barbadian family-owned and operated Realtors Limited certainly understands that concept more than most. Founded in 1952 by Mr. Nick Parravicino and his wife Sheila, the company now stands tall as the longest continuously operating realtor in Barbados. When ‘Mr. Nick’ first started Realtors Limited during the pioneer days of the island’s tourism sector, he had the vision to recognise that many visitors to Barbados would one day prefer to stay in private houses, as opposed to the traditional hotel model of vacation. Furthermore, he also correctly envisioned that a new wave of regular repeat visitors with adequate financial capacity would want to invest in a holiday home. Identifying the west coast – including the famed Sandy Lane Estate – as the part of the island most likely to appeal to potential clients, ‘Mr. Nick’ set about accumulating a management portfolio of the finest villas, both for rental and sale.
Today, some 70+ years later, Realtors Limited is still family-owned and widely recognised as one of the island’s most respected and established real estate brands. Now under the leadership of Managing Director, Simon Parravicino and General Manager Christopher Parravicino, Realtors Limited continues to blend traditional family values with modern innovation to provide exceptional villa rental services, property sales and management expertise. Having played a pivotal role in shaping the island’s villa rental industry and property development sector, Realtors Limited has earned its place as a trusted partner to families, investors, and holidaymakers from around the world.
The wide variety of attractive homes available through Realtors Limited range from modern apartments to peaceful hillside houses with panoramic views, to spacious countryside estates, to luxurious villas on a golf course, to sumptuous beachside properties – and everything in between. Whichever type of property and location you choose, whether for rental or purchase, living in your own ‘home away from home’ is a sure way to help you integrate into local society and enjoy our appealing lifestyle. With easy access to nearby beaches, island attractions, shopping of all kinds, sports and leisure activities, wining, dining and nightlife, there are numerous incentives to get out and about, thereby helping you connect with Bajans as well as visitors. To allow villa residents a hassle-free Barbados experience, Realtors Limited offers a concierge service to make bookings for everything from restaurants, to boat cruises and golf tee times, as well as arranging services such as spa treatments and yoga.
Alternatively, while living in your villa, you also have the attractive option of doing nothing other than chilling out and unwinding – perhaps reading in a peaceful spot, soaking in the pool, or surveying life on the beach from a sun lounger. Ready for a cold drink? Relax, the villa staff will be there to take care of your needs.
The stylish elegance, relaxed comfort and discrete service of the villa rental properties offered by Realtors Limited – including the ever-popular Point of View, Heronetta and Happy Trees – can provide all the ideal ingredients for a rejuvenating vacation that will leave you feeling refreshed and re-energised. By the end of your stay, you might even be thinking that this villa lifestyle really could be good for you.
Should your happy thoughts inspire aspirations of owning your own property in Barbados, then Realtors Limited would always be ready, willing and able to help you find the right one.
