Overview

Without a doubt one of the most elegant and exquisitely furnished villas at Tryall, Little Hill occupies a private 5-acre hill and offers exceptional privacy and charm with lovely sea views. Immaculate gardens include many fruit trees and the circular swimming pool is surrounded by a very pretty veranda courtyard. It is the only villa to have a private tennis court. 

Little Hill was built in 1959 by the acclaimed architect Robert Hartley. It is built in the classic West Indies style around a 30-foot diameter swimming pool with extensive covered terraces throughout.

The house is superbly situated on its own hill of five and three-quarter acres and is surrounded by beautiful grounds. There are striking 360-degree views of the surrounding area from an elevation of 200 feet. There are views of the sea, the forest, and the internationally acclaimed golf course. It is also the only villa at Tryall to offer a private tennis court.

Little Hill has solid mahogany doors and floors throughout and is the perfect house for entertaining with seating for twenty-four on a hundred-foot-long terrace and because of its elevated position, it enjoys gentle breezes throughout the year. The house is extremely well furnished and has particularly fine linens and china.

All five bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, good cupboard space, and safes. The master bedroom and bathroom are wheelchair-friendly. There are fans in all rooms, and air conditioning units. Each bedroom has a flat-screen television, and there is Wi-Fi with internet throughout the house.

The villa is entered through double mahogany doors to a two-level entrance hall with a fine eighteenth-century cut stone floor and stone staircase leading to the main areas of the villa. The focal point is the cathedral-ceilinged living room furnished in blue and white leading to the bar and card room, all with beautiful parquet floors. On the west side of the villa, there is a covered terrace 100 feet long which affords one of the main sitting areas outside the bar and card room. On the east side of the villa, the long covered terrace provides several seating areas and is a popular area for entertaining around the pool. There is also a powder room, flower room, and music center in this area. Little Hill provides three complimentary golf carts for use while at the Tryall Club.
