Firefly
East of Ocho Rios near Port Maria
The historic home of playwright Noel Coward offers a nice tour. Named
for the luminous insects seen in the warm evenings, this house has certainly
entertained its share of luminaries from the political and entertainment
worlds including the Queen Mother, Laurence Olivier, Sophia Loren, Elizabeth
Taylor, Alec Guiness, Peter O'Toole, and Richard Burton. Even today the
house is kept in the same state it was when the Queen Mother came to lunch
in 1965.
A tour of Firefly includes a look at the home, photos of the house's many celebrity guests, and the grounds where Coward is now buried.
