Too ensure that we share our views while we enjoy the view on our last day of this stay at Villa Skrutten:
First, the bad part. There comes a time when we have to go home. And leaving is the hardest part. My wife and I have been coming to St. Barts in most years for over 25 years and, even when we stray to other places, we always come back. This is our second year for the two us at Villa Skrutten, having stayed here the first time a year ago when the island was still recovering from the ravages of the hurricane. It is now largely rebuilt, and everything that is completed is even better than before.
Hotel Christopher was still destroyed and under great construction last year. Now, it is completed, magnificently new and convenient to walk down for a lunch or dinner because it is next-door to Villa Skrutten, which overlooks the hotel. My wife noted that this is like staying in the penthouse at the Christopher.
This may be the favorite place we have stayed. We tend to go out in the day and are in most evenings and my wife, a great cook, says the kitchen is the best stocked up on all the places we have stayed on the island.
Goran, the owner, is always quick to helpfully respond; Allan, the house manager, has taken care of any issue immediately: and Cecilia the daily housekeeper are all as friendly as they can be.
The very open air design is great. The views, of course, are spectacular, there is a fine entertainment system, brand new big screen TV, and I need to stop here because I fear that as I spread the word, we may create too much demand . And we sure hope to return.
