Details on the area surrounding the property/accommodation |
|

Calvados Heights in an exclusive area near Falmouth village on the south coast of Antigua.
Visit historic Nelson's Dockyard closeby; step back into history and leisurely stroll through the old buildings which now house restaurants, shops and a museum. There is always something to watch in the surrounding harbours, birds swooping and diving, modern and classic yachts coming and going, …..a must see during your stay!
Soak up the village atmosphere of English Harbour, chat to the locals to experience the true spirit of Antigua. Try the local cuisine too!
Further afield, take a drive through the rainforest or visit St John’s; see the beautiful Anglican cathedral and the hustle and bustle in the vibrant market. Betty’s Hope educates visitors about the sugar industry & Devil’s Bridge is a sight to behold. Many choices for beaches in the south, but get to Half Moon Bay or Rendezvous if you can.

What visitors have said about Calvados Heights |
| |
| |
I just wanted to thank you for allowing my wife, Cindy, and I to spend the holiday season at Calvados Heights. What an incredible villa you have! The pictures on the website don't do it justice. From the sounds of the waves crashing on the rocks below, to sharing breakfast on the veranda with the hummingbirds, to seeing the butterflies dance around all the beautiful plants you have surrounding the property with one word comes to mind: spectacular.
You are the comensurate host. From your inaugural get aquainted home made "rum punch" to your concierge service of making all our dinner reservations, you are truly what I consider an "english gentleman". You were gracious enough to guide our daily decision making after listening to what we wanted to do. You need to let other renters know that you have lived on the island for over 25 years. This wealth of information kept us from making the usual "tourist" vacation mistakes.
The restaurants, the beaches, the views, the sights, the people you know all made this holiday most memorable. Thank you and special thanks to your dog, Honda, who loved to check in on us occasionally to make sure we were doing fine.
Happy New Year! Please use us as a reference for any future renters. Your place is well worth seeing on the island of Antigua .
John & Cindy, New York, Jan 2009
