We spent a great week in this brand new villa. Located in the hills, it has nice views of the valley and the ocean in the distance. It's got three full bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths. The loft bedroom is not air conditioned, but is wasn't a problem as it was cool at night. There are some mosquitoes in the evening, so we used bug spray and the couple in the unairconditioned bedroom used the netting over the bed. Olivier, the son of the owner, was our contact. He was very helpful. He and his extended family live close by. The villa has all new furniture, dishes, bathrooms and was very well equipped and clean. We paid a cleaning fee, although it's not in the listing on Homeaway. The villa is close to town, Le Marin, including grocery stores and restaurants. We drove to several nice swimming beaches, including Sainte Anne which were not far to drive. We did several day trips to the botanical gardens and DePaz Distillery and another to Chateau DuBuc, the ruins of a 17th century plantation and rum distillery with a very good electronic self-guided tour in several languages, including English. All are several hours away, but worth the trip. Lovely restaurant at DePaz for lunch. There are 2 villas attached, but completely separate, including separate swimming pools. Olivier gave us a tour of the villa's beautifully landscaped grounds, including showing us the many fruit trees his family has planted. Also he brought delicious accras and pastries his mother had made, and they also left us a bottle of rum punch.
