A former rum barrel warehouse has been converted into a whimsical English-style pub with snooker table, jukebox, bar & exercise alcove, satellite TV & exotic alfresco shower. From the main villa, steps lead down to the pool (heated, if you wish, for $350/wk with advance notice) and adjacent pavilion (equipped with wet bar, gas grill & mini-fridge). Below the pool are acres of meadow with sheep & donkeys. Above the main house, and accessed through exquisite grounds, is the private tennis court & gazebo. The Distillery abounds in unparalleled beauty, romance & sophistication, and is sure to please the most discerning guests by offering privacy, charm & luxury. Lydia, the Distillery's housekeeper & cook, will prepare & serve 7 meals per week (5 lunches & 2 evening dinners; or 7 lunches) - except Sundays. Her talents are included in the villa's rates - you simply pay for groceries & beverages. A self-serve complimentary breakfast buffet will also be set out every a.m. except Sundays. As part of your rental, Lydia will also provision the Distillery with groceries & drinks for arrival day (please let us know your preferences in advance), and will grocery shop once daily - in either case, you simply pay for the grocery costs.
