Estate Saunders Gut holiday lettings

As the title suggests the view from the Villa is stunning. The property itself is very well appointed - the bedroom/living area is pleasant and airy, there is an excellent bathroom with large walk in shower and separate large laundry/storage area. The cosy kitchen is very well equipped and accommodated our dining in when it was too windy to sit out. The vast patio area has an excellent and well maintained bbq and plenty of quality furniture. Access to the Villa with its fabulous position requires a jeep or similar (Lois made this clear to us) as the approach road is very steep. Walking to and from Coral Bay is not an option. As keen walkers, the remoteness did not suit us as much as it will undoubtedly suit others. Having said that, we’re pleased we rented Villa Celeste, had a wonderful time and shall return to St John.

Catherine’s beautiful villa surpassed our hopes and expectations; the calm, the washing of the waves on the shore below, the pool, relaxing on the terrace with its fabulous view over Coral Bay and Hurricane Hole, and all so well appointed and comfortable. She herself is extremely helpful, a very talented artist, and a darn good cook! This was our sixth visit to St John, but our first time at A House of Open Arms, and we are very happy we made the switch. Car rental from Courtesy was just as it says on the tin; we have used them often in the past. No question you will need a 4x4, even low ratio, and Courtesy gave us a low mileage Wrangler to play with. Other things that made our stay unforgettable; our snorkelling trip with Roberta, which Catherine had set up for us; and ginger cake from Pickles!
