6 Bedroom Villa in Montego Bay
Pimento Hill House is a spacious, private home with a stellar history and has complimentary Beach Membership. The villa was originally a Great House and in the early 50s a French Viscount and his glamorous American wife. Jacques and Vera di Sibour, bought it from the Blackwell family. Chris Blackwell lived at the villa as a child with his mother, Blanche Blackwell. Blanche was a friend of Ian Fleming who wrote all the James Bond books. Fleming apparently based some of his heroines in the books on Blanche. Chris Blackwell is the man behind Island Records and credited with bringing the music of Bob Marley to the World. The 50s were a time when Jamaica was a glamorous party destination for the early jet set. Noel Coward and Ian Fleming had houses in Jamaica and attracted a lot of people of note to the island. The Kennedys and many famous actors, artists, musicians and royalty spent the holidays at Round Hill or at house parties in nearby villas. When Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip visited Montego Bay at the end of their Caribbean tour in 1966, they stayed with Jacques at Pimento Hill. There is a scrap book of newspaper cuttings in the villa detailing all the famous guests Pimento Hill has hosted. I am in touch with the Vicomtess's grandchildren and they have been kind enough to send me a lot of personal documents and photographs of the villa. These are also in a scrapbook at the villa..
In the late 60s Rosser Reeves, a hugely successful American advertising executive and pioneer of television advertising, bought the villa from the Viscount. The AMC program, Mad Men, uses Reeves as the model for the professional accomplishments of the main character, Don Draper (Jon Hamm). Rosser Reeves sold the villa to a German artist who we know very little about and after he sold it back to a local building company in the 80s, the villa fell into disrepair.
In 2007 we bought Pimento Hill and extensively renovated the villa while trying to retain the period features. We had holidayed at Round Hill for many years, had fallen in love with Jamaica and wanted to share it with all our family and friends so made Pimento Hill our holiday home. We didn't want to lose the fifties feeling of the original villa so have tried to refurbish it sensitively and with a nod to its very glamourous past.
