Villa Folly, a beautiful four bedroom home, sits on 3 acres of open lawns planted with specimen trees and commands a dramatic view of the Caribbean Sea with Montego Bay in the distance. Upon entering the Villa you are welcomed into a radiant garden courtyard. Covered walkways alongside sunlit inner gardens extend to the three Villa bedrooms, all with ocean views. The bar, which the owners call “the study”, has a desk with telephones, a daybed and a full bath, which can be used as a powder room or second bath for the master suite.

Separate, but conveniently close to the main villa, is a master bedroom cottage, sheltered by a large ficus tree, with a sunny view of shade-dappled lawn, the pool and the ocean. Both the Villa and Cottage master bedrooms have king-size beds; however, all four bedrooms can be pre-requested for either twin or king-size bed sleeping arrangements. Cottage and Villa master bedrooms, as well as the living-room, have cable television and internet service. All bedrooms have en suite bathrooms, ceiling fans and effective cross ventilation of ocean and landward breezes. For those who love a good read there is an ample selection of books, many brought by authors who have been our guests.

Situated on Barnes Hill Road, Villa Folly is one of Tryall’s original homes and has been owned and nurtured by only two families. The Main House has the warm charm of a “Casita” as it is built on one level around flower-filled inner gardens, through which humming birds and yellow banana quits come and go. One of the gardens has a small Moorish fountain, and there is a reflecting pool in the entry courtyard. All combine to create the relaxed intimacy of home and an indoor-outdoor freedom of spirit. It is easy to step from the living room, which is open on four sides, to swim in the heated pool or take in the exhilarating view over the golf course and the sea.

Tennis courts and Great House amenities are within easy walking proximity. The golf course and ocean beach are easily reached on foot, by golf cart or Tryall resort buses, but Villa Folly’s elevation, foliage, and ocean exposure ensure a sense of blissful seclusion that is often difficult to leave.

The large living room is open on four sides with louvers and sliding glass door, has television and internet access.

Villa Folly has been visited by noted authors of fiction and political and theater history, who have treasured the space to work if they wish, who have brought gifts of books to add to the owner's own collection.

Comfort, of course begins, with the warmth courtesy and good cheer of the five members of the staff, Chef and Head-of-House, Chambermaid/waitress, Laundress, and two gardeners.

Chef Judith Bowen's way with local, produce, fish and chicken is superb, Her lobster and chicken stir fry and her curries are popular favorites. She understands special dietary needs, such as gluten-free cooking. Breakfast is served on the lawn. You might want to ask for 'bammy' instead of toast in the morning, or breadfruit in season.
