Frankfort on the Beach

Sleeps up to 12

Frankfort is a historic 17th Century fortress, brilliantly restored as a remarkable six bedroom home, on its own pristine white sand beach.

For decades, Sir Harold and Lady Mary Mitchell hosted an array of renowned guests to Frankfort and a peek at the leather-bound guest book hints at a fascinating history of names: Winston Churchill, Queen Mary, Prince Edward, Dr. Henry Kissinger and Sir Noel Coward to name a few. Today, although the original two-foot thick rough stone walls and gun slots are still in place, Frankfort is a paradigm of 21st Century laid-back elegance. With no expense spared a brilliant half million dollar renovation introduced Italian Travertine floors, chic and comfortable sitting areas in crisp white fabrics, and stunning modern bedrooms with all new bathrooms and glass-wall showers. Floor-to-ceiling bookcases divide the ground floor into two sections: one, an elegant dining space and the other, a comfy living room, television, music and games area. The adjoining 80 foot veranda is the gathering area for drinks, hors d’oeuvres and al fresco dining as the sun sets over the sea. The villa’s beach is soft, white sand and the swimming water is wonderful with a live reef three hundred yards offshore. It is on the beach the staff may surprise you with a torchlight beach feast one night!

Extra Services

Your cook will handle grocery shopping and all meal preparation. They will pre-purchase your first few meals, pantry staples and a small starter bar (a few bottles of Red Stripe, moderately-priced wine and rum), then finish the week's shopping after meeting with you. At week's end, they will present receipts for all food and beverage and reconcile your account. If you wish to go to the various markets with her, you are welcome. Otherwise, simply review with her your tastes and distastes and she'll handle it all while you stay at the villa and relax.

The day starts while guests are still asleep. The cook quietly places pots of steaming Jamaican coffee on the veranda. Full breakfast is served when all guests are ready. A typical breakfast may include fresh-squeezed orange juice and fresh fruits, banana fritters or plantain, eggs, bacon, pancakes or cereal - or Jamaican ackee and salt fish. For lunches and dinners, your cook will prepare her own mix of Jamaican specialties -including delicious homemade soups and desserts, lobster, curried goat, jerk pork or chicken, pasta, lamb, beef, fresh fish - or serve traditional American fare as you request. Warning: Jamaican cooks are excellent and portions are generous!

Your maid and laundress will care for every detail of your bedroom and bath - providing fresh linens and flowers, returning your neatly-folded laundry, and turning down your bed each evening. The gardener will maintain the pool and grounds immaculately each day. Most villas are staffed by a butler as well who serves, tends bar and generally facilitates.

Available on request are masseuses, nannies and drivers.

Destination introduction

The third largest of the Caribbean islands, Jamaica - the land of water andwood - was held by Columbus to be ‘the fairest isle that eyes beheld’. Those who choose to visit for the first time will wonder why they waitedso long. Due to its size and culture, Jamaica feels more of a country than an island and it is one of the most vibrant and diverse of all the Caribbean islands.

Blessed with some of the most stunning scenery in all the Caribbean yet also offering a wide range of activities, the island has appeal for everyone. Much of the island is cloaked with lush tropical vegetation through which hundreds of rivers wend their way, sometimes forming the most spectacular waterfalls, and the Blue Mountain range, which forms the spine of the island, is famous for its delicious coffee. On the coasts there are rocky coves to explore amongst glorious white sandy beaches - a beach-lover’s paradise. Most of the tourism development is to be found along the north coast of the island, between Montego Bay and Port Antonio, however it is not over developed and still retains a true Caribbean feel. Here you will find the full range of diverse scenery, from waterfall stumbling over jungle mountain tops to picturesque bays with enticing whitesand beaches. Montego Bay is where much of the holiday accommodation is located, and is a bustling holiday resort, good for those looking for plenty of activities. The great Martha Brae River snakes through the area not far from Montego Bay and is the setting for beautifully scenic rafting trips.Ocho Rios boasts beautiful bays and spectacular cliff settings, and is a great place to savour authentic Jamaican life, whilst Port Antonio is a sleepy resort and is known as the Garden of Jamaica.

The Jamaican people are renowned for their hospitality, their love of music and their cultural traditions, with reggae of course being the most famous. The cuisine is varied and no visit would be complete without trying the local Jerk dishes (watch out for the hot spice!). But for many the real appeal of the island is its stunning natural beauty, which first inspired Columbus back in 1494.

Sports

North Coast: Eight 18 hole Golf Courses (six around Montego Bay) - Tennis (mainly at hotels) - Winsurfing - Kite surfing - Waterskiing - Snorkelling - Scuba diving - Game fishing - River rafting - Mountain biking - Rainforest treks - Walking - Horse riding - Polo.
