Wonderful holiday
This is the second time we have stayed in Art Studio 2 and we loved our time there once again . For a start our hostess Julia couldn’t have been more helpful and kind . We had a few extra needs this time which she went out of her way to help with. The studio is artistically decorated with a very well equipped kitchen comfortable bed a great shower. There is a ceiling fan and air conditioning. The studio is set in beautiful gardens and those working and living in the complex are friendly and helpful.The short access to a sandy beach facing West for beautiful sunset views also has safe warm swimming. There are plenty of restaurants of all types and prices nearby and a supermarket with everything you would need for self catering. There is a local bus service and although we didn’t rent a car that is an option with many sights experiences and gardens to to enjoy. We understand some building work is starting on a new hotel next door which is an immediate concern but we will hope to return again to this lovely place.

Our 2nd stay at Art Studio 2!
Great central location with beach in your backyard and restaurants and grocery store within 5 min walk. As usual Julia was a fabulous host and her apartment has everything you can possibly need. She even has beach chairs and umbrella after we suggested it last year! A special thank you to cleaning/property staff Trudy, Michelle and Michael who do a wonderful job!

A beach paradise
We really enjoyed our stay at Julia’s studio. It’s proximity to the beach and stores was amazing! The place is very well equipped with everything you need in the way of necessities to cook.

Excellent location for first trip to Barbados
Holetown is a vibrant west coast district, with many services ranging from enjoyable roadside cafes to high end restaurants (such as the Tides), shops and a garage with a ‘no charge’ cash machine. Art Studios is tucked just off the main road on a public access route to the Beach – which is really is very close. Apartment 2 is ground floor of a 4-unit block (a total of eight apartments) with a South facing private patio with well-kept communal seating areas. It has plenty of space for two, with a well- equipped kitchen and walk in shower. Generous hanging space and shelves for clothes. Wonderfully quiet and reliable air conditioning unit. Wi- Fi was solid. Walking along the beach, in the Bridgetown direction, you pass a number of bars and restaurants facing the sea with the first mile. 2beds and an umbrella are available at 40-45BBD per day. In the other direction, Folkestone Marine Park is a lovely area with shady trees, benches and 2 beach cafes. Spectacular sunset views from these west coast beaches. The buses on the main road (an experience!) have stops nearby. The Taxi (Amigo) recommended by the owner was very reliable. He met us from our very delayed flight with no problem and is a very safe driver. We booked him for 2 other trips and a 6hr tour. Amigo is very knowledgeable and good company; highly recommended. The vibrancy of the area can result in music being played into the night, with cockerels and traffic in the early morning.

Perfect location in Barbados
The unit is perfectly located within walking distance to all of Holetown’s shops & restaurants and on the main bus route for getting around the island. Walking out the back gate of the complex, we were immediately on a beautiful, west sandy beach with great swimming, snorkeling & access to other ocean pursuits, if desired. The studio apartment was clean & well appointed. We appreciated the small things that mean a lot if you like to cook: ample pots and pans, cutlery, utensils, china and secure containers for dry goods. Once we ascertained that a firm-bed loving guest had turned over the mattresses, we were very comfortable on the pillowtops. The king bed was formed by 2 twins put together and it worked well. The unit is cooled by an air conditioner, though we mainly just opened the windows for the gentle breeze to flow through. In addition to the dining table inside, there’s a table and 2 lounges on the shaded patio for outdoor dining. I originally though that the daily cleaning offered with the unit might be too much. The cleaner was very flexible, though, and left us alone when we wanted. Cleaning every 3 days or so worked out great. The only drawback to the unit may be the nature of the complex. The louvered windows can transfer noises in the still of night. It has a very communal feel & if you are looking for a secluded getaway, this isn’t it. That said, we met several lovely guests who helped us become accustomed to the place & suggestions for places to go & to eat.
