We stayed at Ajoupa 12 from January 5 -March 31 2022. We quickly became very comfortable in the villa. From beginning to end our stay was amazing. Our communication with Gill was fantastic, she was very helpful and quick to respond when we had questions. The villa is exactly as described, it is clean, comfortable and located in a wonderful small village. The locals are very friendly and very helpful. There is wildlife around the villa, chickens, monkeys, horses, cows, goats, sheep etc. We walked everywhere, to Bridgetown and Holetown etc. We rented a car for 2 weekends out of the 3 months. The local buses are cheap, go up and down the coast and we enjoyed taking them.
The beds are comfortable with quality linens. There are lots of towels in good condition and in lovely tropical colours. The kitchen linens are sufficient but could be updated.
The water pressure in the shower is fantastic. You can drink the tap water which is wonderful.
The villa has a variety of chairs to take to the pool or the beach.
We have a couple of ideas that may improve a stay at Ajoupa 12. First, we would have liked a barbeque, a charcoal one would have been great. Second, a curtain or blind on the side of the balcony upstairs would be nice in order to provide some privacy while having morning coffee or enjoying the beautiful sunsets on the ocean.
Third, in the bathroom upstairs the toilet could use a proper fitting toilet seat.
Fourth, It would be helpful if all renters were asked not to feed the chickens. Many renters fed the chickens and thus they were always around looking for food.
The suggestions for improvement are small things.
We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend Ajoupa 12 to anyone looking for a villa to rent in Barbados.
Thank you Gill & Steve!
