A worldwide renowned estate that can be booked for a vacation of a lifetime!

The Old Fort, originally a working sugar plantation dating back to the Middle Ages, has been beautifully restored with original stonework and wood beams, maintaining its classic French-Mediterranean mansion-house style.

The large banquet-style kitchen and dining area create a magical atmosphere for gatherings, while the lounge with a fireplace and wine bar adds to the charm. The outdoor bar, conveniently located above the pool, offers sweeping 180-degree views of the Grenadine Islands, stretching southward. The estate has been featured in numerous international publications and is also an ideal venue for hosting special events such as weddings or retreats.

What a Gem!

The old fort is a place like no other I've ever been to. The setting is atop a hill with almost 360 views of the ocean from the tower room where we stayed. The breezes were delightful and I even had to ask for a blanket. Other rooms have air conditioning if you want, but we liked the rustic top floor. Quirin and Otmar were perfect hosts, regaling us with stories of life on Bequia, archeology, philosophy, and the vision and hard work that went into turning a ruin into a paradise. The staff was attentive and friendly and kept the rooms immaculate. Sarah and Josiah served fresh delicious meals. We went to other restaurants in Bequia, but were always drawn to come back to the Old Fort to taste what they had that day. I enjoyed a number of short hikes; one around the mountain top, another to Port Elizabeth, and another to Rocky Cove and a cactus garden led by Brownie the dog. As an example of the care the proprietors gave us, Quirin woke up before dawn to take us to a sailing charter he had arranged for us. We will be back often with friends and family.

Providing an amazing Caribbean hideaway

Our 8 night stay at the Old Fort was just perfect. The property is truly one of a kind with historic buildings, a beautiful pool, breathtaking views, and even a pair of friendly resident donkeys. We were able to fully relax and take in all that Bequia has to offer stressed out people in need of a vacation! Can't wait for the next trip! The Schaedle family have loving restored a fort on Bequia that gives you shelter from reality. We stayed a week to escape the hustle and bustle of the grind of life in the US and were richly rewarded for our choice. The staff at the Old Fort exceeded our expectations and the accommodations were first rate and a true experience not a cookie cutter hotel.

A Truly Unique Experience

From the time we got off the ferry in Bequia our holiday was perfect. We were met by Otmar who was the creator of this wonderful place and who has now passed the torch on to his son Quirin. Between the two of them they have provided an oasis of charm and privacy that is unsurpassed on the island. The Old Fort looks down over the sea with views of Mustique and other islands on the horizon. A gentle breeze cools the air and the grounds are alive with lush vegetation, fruit trees and flowers. The stone work is magnificent, reminiscent of times gone by with graceful archways leading you from room to room. The bedrooms are well appointed, airy and fresh allowing a peaceful relaxing sleep. Depending upon your needs you can have a chef provide your meals or as in our case prepare your own food making use of the kitchen. This seems like a perfect arrangement for larger groups and a great place for a wedding or family time. The dining area is under a sheltered roof but open to the outdoors where you can sit at the end of the day taking in the view and enjoying the gentle night. The sitting room just off the kitchen is very comfortable and everywhere you look there are things of interest from pottery, various antiquites and some quite amazing stone rubbings of ancient Carib artwork. A fairly recent addition is the swimming pool where we spent quite a lot of time. A great design by Quirin! The Old Fort is just a short drive from the town and a variety of beaches so it is easy to take advantage of all that is offered . All in all I can't think of a better location to explore the island from. If you are looking for a peaceful, private place with warm, friendly hosts and a uniquely beautiful atmosphere you will not be disappointed.

Sobre o anfitrião

Anfitrião: Julio Francis

Imagem do perfil do anfitrião
I grew up in the Grenadines, primarily on Mount Pleasant, Bequia—an intimate hilltop community steeped in history. Centuries ago, The Old Fort stood as the centrepiece of this area during the French colonisation of the Caribbean. As a child, I watched in awe as my parents and their dedicated team restored the ruins, transforming them into the stunning estate you see today. They managed the property for nearly 40 years, instilling in me a deep appreciation for its history and significance.

Growing up in Bequia had its challenges, particularly in education. I studied through an American correspondence course before commuting daily by ferry to neighbouring St. Vincent for my A-levels. After nearly two decades in the Caribbean, I moved to Europe to broaden my horizons, a journey that proved invaluable for my future in hospitality.

At just 18 years old, I began my apprenticeship at the Kempinski Hotel Four Seasons in Munich. I then worked as a full-time F&B waiter at the Hilton Amsterdam, gaining hands-on experience in world-class hospitality. Two years later, I moved to London to complete a degree in International Marketing and Hospitality Management at London Metropolitan University.

After several enriching years abroad, I returned to the Grenadines—the place I will always call home—and became the director of The Old Fort in 2005. This role allowed me to combine my love of travel, instilled during childhood summers spent visiting family in Europe, with my passion for hospitality. The unique experience of growing up on a picturesque island that draws visitors from diverse backgrounds, coupled with my global travels, has shaped me into the host I am today.

The Old Fort is more than just a destination—it’s a reflection of my family’s journey and our commitment to creating unforgettable experiences for our guests. My parents’ travels inspired them to design a place that meets the highest standards of hospitality, and it is my honour to carry on their legacy.

Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade

The Old Fort is the only fully restored plantation in St. Vincent and the Grenadines and one of the few remaining in the world. Sadly, most of these historic estates have fallen into ruin and abandonment. The property's rich history, combined with its majestic layout, set on what is widely regarded as the most impressive estate on the island, makes it truly exceptional. The expansive acreage stretches down several hillsides to the Atlantic Ocean below, offering breathtaking views at every turn.

Having marked my parents' 46th Christmas Eve on the island in 2024 (the day they arrived), our unparalleled knowledge of the area is deeply rooted in the many connections we've made over the years. This long history enables us to offer a level of service that stands apart. There are many reasons to stay at The Old Fort: from the sweeping views—arguably the best on the island—to the spacious bedrooms and various inviting areas throughout the property. The careful restoration of the estate preserves its unique character, while modern comforts abound. Additional services, such as the opportunity to charter our private 40-foot powerboat, further enhance your stay. And, of course, Bequia, one of the most beautiful and unspoiled islands in the entire Caribbean, serves as the perfect backdrop for this unforgettable experience.

O que faz essa propriedade ser única?

What makes our property truly unique is its seamless blend of natural beauty, rich history, and unparalleled privacy, offering an experience that cannot be found elsewhere. Set in an undisturbed environment, it provides guests with a rare harmony with nature, surrounded by breathtaking views of the estate, ocean, and nearby hills. The estate’s expansive grounds feature two unspoiled beaches as well as hiking trails that allow guests to explore the property’s natural wonders.

The layout of the property is designed for ultimate privacy, with majestic suites strategically placed across the estate, ensuring that even when sharing the space with friends or family, each guest can enjoy their own retreat. Our adaptability to guests' needs further sets us apart, allowing us to customise every aspect of the stay to ensure a truly personalised experience.

The property’s rich history adds a unique dimension, as recent archaeological excavations have uncovered new sections within the estate grounds, further enhancing its historical significance. The lush gardens, home to a variety of palms and exotic flowers, offer a serene and vibrant setting that complements the estate’s natural surroundings.

Bequia itself, with its untouched beauty, is an integral part of what makes staying here special. The property provides access to a wide range of activities, from boat trips to nearby islands to hiking, eco-tours, and fishing. Most importantly, guests are invited to experience the authentic local vibe of Bequia, immersing themselves in the island’s living history and becoming a part of its ongoing story.
