We were met at the property after trying and failing to drive up the hill to the house, so we parked and dragged our stuff up the hill (the first time was the worst - after that we got used to it). The house and annexe was really charming. Proper old school colonial vibes - no air con but fans. Shabby chic. We loved the characterful nature of it, the outside deck sitting among the trees listening to the birds and frogs & the beach nearby.

Experience your own private piece of paradise at Galley Bay Cottages, charming Caribbean cottages located hillside, just steps from the beautiful white sands of Galley Bay beach on the northwest coast of Antigua. Built into the natural landscape of the hill, winding stone paths and steps lead through the property and take you to each of the four gorgeously secluded cottages. Wooden gingerbread cottages each with an ocean view, cool breezes and open layouts allow you to experience a uniquely Caribbean vacation. The shabby chic colonial interiors have been individually decorated and furnished with an eclectic mix of European antiques, renovated finds and Caribbean art. Wonderful details like locally fired and hand painted tiles and face basins, four poster beds and wooden painted shutters are a delight for your eyes daily. Each cottage is self contained with a fully equipped kitchen and all have amazing sea views, with private galleries perfect for relaxing day and night. Watch cruiseships entering and leaving St. John’s Harbour and catch stunning sunsets while enjoying drinks and dinner al fresco.
Marco Della Patrona, as his names suggests, is Italian born and has been living in Antigua for more than eighteen years. He has a passion for the Caribbean, and more specifically Antigua, and an innate sense of style that is evident in the way the villa has been restored. Marco will ensure your vacation at Aloe Villa is perfect and will be available to assist you should you need his help.
