Pimento Hill - 6 Bedroom

in Montego Bay

** Complimentary van & driver included in rates **

Pimento Hill is a beautiful 9000 square foot,6 bedroom 6 1/2 home with a legendary history. 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. The large swimming pool and stone deck include an outdoor bar, third dining area and charming waterfall garden.

The villa is constructed in three defined areas.
