Villa Avalon is one of St. Barths' great properties of charm and character. The mature gardens of Latanier palms, fruit trees and night blooming jasmin evoke a memory of the French west Indies lifestyle from long ago. The long driveway leads up to the villa main parking and stairs. A service road provides further parking behind the villa with direct access to studio/laundry area and rear entrance to the kitchen and dining pavilion.
Landscape lighting illuminates the gardens automatically at sunset creating a tropical wonderland. Mosaic pool with built in jacuzzi jets sets the theme for poolside entertaining and lounging. Bose home entertainment system has outdoor speakers and indoor surround sound in salon/library.
Dining pavilion seats 12 for more formal dinners and the outdoor gazebo with stone and glass table seats 6 to 8 for lunchtime dining al fresco, overlooking the beautiful Leeward ocean views.
Each room is tastefully decorated with handpainted colonial or west Indian furnishings, mixed with rococo style antiques and paintings. The studio, recently built has a modern decor with mosaic and glass bathroom as well as a small balcony overlooking the gardens. The laundry sitting area has a full kitchen and T.V. and is in direct access to the studio entrance.
The lower guest room is off of the stairs going up to the main level pool/dining pavilion. A few steps further up and there is a cozy, salon/ library pavilion with a guest room above accessed by a wood staircase on the exterior. There is a rock and Mexican tile bathroom off the side of the salon terrace with rocking chairs to relax in the cool breezes and take in the views.
Further up the stairs is a small deck with herb garden and the entrance to the master pavilion and terrace with outdoor dining.
There is a small breakfast kitchen at the entrance to the master suite, facilitating the breakfast service. The master suite has a high four poster colonial bed with views overlooking the ocean.
There is wifi access throughout the villa as well as a small safe in each bedroom. All bedrooms and salon have air conditioning and paddle fan.
