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.

Guest Reviews
To say John and Heather are amazing is an understatement! They've thought of every detail and are the kindest couple!

We are already planning our return trip. Thank you John and Heather!

This review is long over due... Hidden Gem does not justly describe this lovely place. The pictures used for advertising are lovely, but don't do this place justice...

Beyond the location, I cannot say enough...See More

We spent a long weekend over Labor Day @ The Villa and enjoyed ourselves immensely! John and Heather are A+++ hosts in so many ways! Heather paid extra special attention to the delicious breakfast she prepared each morning, while John entertained guests with fun quips and interesting conversation. Our room, the Rosa, was well appointed and spotless. As luck would have it, there is a pretty great golf course...See More
