Incredible Villa with Superb Views
Loved everything about this villa and the team that help run it. Communication with Leon has been great from the moment we booked. David the villa manager and his team helped us get around and gave us plenty of information on what to do, where to go and eat etc.
The view is simply incredible and all rooms lead out on to the balcony facing the Pitons, the smallest Piton being closest. We were absolutely blown away by the view and the pictures do not do enough justice! Recommend a hike up Gros Piton which looks daunting but ok to do at 7am when it is cooler.
We spent most of our time eating in Soufriere as it was a 5 minute drive from the villa ($20EC in a taxi for 4 adults). We walked it in 35 minutes as it is a steep yet beautiful road to go down. Highly recommend Fedo’s, Petit Peak and Sea View Creole Restaurant for lunch. Hummingbird Restaurant was nice but overpriced for being the beach side of the bridge. We went to Anse Chastanet for the day and ate lunch at he beach restaurant. This is the location of Jade Mountain where you pay $11US for snorkelling which was great! Anse Chastenet is close to the villa but a rough road to go on so recommend a water taxi. We paid $80EC each way. The taxi is the same price but a really rough road and taxi drivers are reluctant at to take people there. Marigot Bay we drove to which was also stunning and a short drive from the villa as was Anse De La Raye.
Recommend hiring a 4x4 as you will struggle getting around otherwise and spend a fortune on cabs. You can see the sulphur springs from the villa which is another must do as well. The tour which is a combined cost of $30EC but transport is on top. We also did the Toraille waterfall which was beautiful yet cold so go to the one by Sugar Beach. Sugar Beach was another great day out. Pay $50US entry in to the resort and they credit this back to you to spend at the restaurant on the beach which was incredible. You can snorkel at the bottom on the Petit Piton for $10US. Take towels to sit on unless you want to pay $50US to hire a beach lounger for the day. There are free chairs the other side of the beach but slightly lesser unpleasant atmosphere with the local husslers hanging around you.
This is somewhere we’d love to come back and stay especially as the hospitality was great. The villa can also organise catering for an extra charge which we would have taken advantage of but spent so much time exploring and eating out.
10/10 location and accommodation.
