The Villa, an exclusive coastal Rhode Island Luxury Inn, is ideally located at the crossroads of Watch Hill, Weekapaug, and Westerly. Rich in history, The Villa was originally built in the 1850s and rebuilt after the hurricane of 1938. In 1974, this once private estate was converted into a Bed and Breakfast. Since 2003, the Villa has undergone renovations while retaining the ambiance of old-world charm. In 2022, The Villa came under new owners, bringing a fresh coastal appeal to the decor.

Leslie & Geoff were truly remarkable hosts - they were welcoming & attentive but not overbearing. They knew of a ton of great local spots to check out. The pool and jacuzzi tub were PRISTINE.

We had the most wonderful weekend stay at the villa! The moment we walked in we felt right at home. It was a joy to be hosted by Leslie and Jeff. They were so knowledgeable and hospitable. The breakfast every morning was delicious! And the pool - I have never seen such a beautifully kept, clean, sparkly pool. We enjoyed it all weekend. We can’t wait to come back.

We love the pool, the variety of drinks and snacks available, the vinyl...See More
