Fanned by the gentle Caribbean breeze, the luxurious Bananaquit House is set on a hillside looking out over the ocean with wonderful views of the famous Pitons. On leaving a private lane, steps lead you down through the garden planted with a variety of colorful plants and flowers onto a terrace with a pool, loungers and outdoor seating area. The terrace leads onto the main floor of the house which is open plan painted in cool white with a dining area and several sitting areas, all of which enjoy the same stunning view over the treetops below over the ocean to the Pitons.
The bedrooms are all well-appointed with original greenheart floors:
The upper bedroom is beautifully furnished with antique French faux bamboo style twin beds and opens into a dressing room and large bathroom with shower and bath and cool mosaic tiled walls. The master bedroom on the lower floor features a king-size four-poster bed, en-suite bathroom also decorated with Italian mosaic tiles and a private balcony overlooking the garden, sea and Pitons. The second bedroom on this floor has a king size bed and opens onto a shady terrace. The third bedroom on this floor is designed with children in mind and has a bunk bed, single bed and pull out spare bed. These two bedrooms share a bathroom. On the upper floor there is a mezzanine level which can also be used as a bedroom for older children with a double and single bed.
The four staff take care of guests beautifully and cook delicious meals as well as taking care of the laundry and cleaning. The garden is terraced and planted with a variety of flowers and visited by hummingbirds, finches and other beautiful local birds.
The nearest beach is a ten minute drive away and has a PADI diving school as well as some excellent snorkeling and a holiday here can be as relaxing or energetic as you choose. For those preferring the quiet life, a masseuse can be easily arranged to visit the house and restore harmony.
