Frequently Asked Questions
about the Villa and Virgin Gorda
What is the best time of year to plan to take our Adagio Villa, BVI vacation?
Anytime. The busiest time of year is from US Thanksgiving to the end of May, but the traditional Summer season is also a great time to
vacation. From May to October, the waters are very calm and crystal clear and ideal if you have very young children. From about the
middle of November to about the end of March we often have a “ground sea swell”, this is caused by storms in the North Atlantic sending
wave action 3,000 miles down to the BVI’s. This, in turn, increases wave action on the beach and may make the water sandy for
“walk-in” snorkelling – the water is still warm so don’t despair.
When is hurricane season?

Guest Reviews
“Love, Love, Love this place. Mahoe Bay is a lovely beach. We snorkeled at least two times a day and always saw something new and different. The house is perfect. The view from the deck made it hard to leave each day. Some days we didn’t. Our first time to Virgin Gorda will not be our last.”
“Loved your beautiful Adagio! What a gorgeous setting here in Virgin Gorda. Thank you for a wonderful vacation and break from out cold winter.”
“Dear MacDonald Family; Adagio Villa is a very special and we thank you for sharing it with us. We were here from Texas and enjoying our 3rd trip to Mahoe Bay, and could not have had a more relaxing or beautiful vacation. This is a very warm and friendly place in which to enjoy family and friends in a beautiful setting.”
“Your house is beautiful, however I’ll miss getting up early every morning and going to Dunkin’ Donuts and I’ll miss going to McDonald’s for lunch and Taco Bell for dinner, I’ll miss all the traffic lights and the cars blowing their horns, I’ll miss cable TV and the Centralplex movies. I’ll miss the ocean at Long Island, NY; the water there is so much colder. I also miss the crowded beaches like Coney Island. So if you want to go to heaven without dying, I suggest you come here.”
“Thank you so much for the use of your beautiful villa. It is a spectacular home and setting, and we enjoyed it so much. We had some great times on the island, snorkeling and exploring various beaches, including Spring Bay, Savannah Bay, of course Mahoe, and Little Trunk and the Baths. We enjoyed dinner at Chez Bamboo, Fat Virgin, and your lovely deck. We sailed a cat at Bitter End, rented a 30 foot boat at Leverick and explored Norman Island, visited Willy T, and Little Dix. It was a wonderful time and the people we met were all lovely and so friendly…
“You have succeeded in crating paradise in paradise! Life at Adagio could not have been more pleasant or enjoyable for me and my wife . . . and later on our daughter. We stayed long enough to fall in love with Virgin Gorda and its rich vista’s and underwater marvels.
“Your home is elegant and thoughtfully designed. The seascape from your patio is forever etched in our minds (and recorded on camera for screen savers) we enjoyed the constant breezes and numerous meals on the patio, and hoisted many toasts to you both as we watched the magnificent sunsets unfold behind George Dog.”
“We had a great, great vacation. We are the Cornell’s and the Jessiman’s. I’m Schuyler. I will never forget this vacation… I really like you house, it is wonderful! We will definitely come back; Clarkie and Cynthia are great cooks – the food they cook is delishish (sic). I like your house so much I want to get married here and have my honeymoon here. I am only 8 ½ so I have a long way to go before that will happen. Everyone loves the pool – it is so nice to have one on a hot, hot day. The snorkeling here is awesome. I saw at least 60 fish. You have such a great view of the ocean. Did you know that you have a growing banana tree in the back garden? We had a absolutely great time. Love Schuyler
“What an absolutely marvelous home. We truly enjoyed this bit of heaven on earth and look forward to returning year after year.”
“Everything was perfect – except we didn’t stay longer! Thanks for a wonderful getaway”
“Thanks for giving us a wonderful place to stay. This was our 5th time we have rented a villa and this is by far our favorite. We appreciated the fact that the kitchen was so modern and well stocked. The villa is beautiful and of course our favorite spot for ‘limin’ was the balcony where we could enjoy the magnificent view.”
“We all absolutely loved Adagio. The villa is decorated beautifully and there is absolutely everything here one could possibly need. The view is breath-taking from any balcony here. Love to return next year.
