Om boendet

Villa Frangipani, en vacker plats att bo i St Lucia - rullstolsvänlig

En enkel och unik 3 sovrum hem i en förbluffande vacker ekologisk läge med utsikt över staden, som ligger bara 5 minuter bort med transport. Stor, vacker, och som bland blommande växter och tropiska fruktträd i ett tunnland av grönskande kulle (en hot spot för fågelskådning!), Du är osannolikt att hitta en villa med mer spektakulära vyer. Inte ligger i en turistort, det finns ingen pool, men vår stuga har massor mer att erbjuda. Den största och bästa värde för pengarna villa på ön sex i komfort sover men är lika mysigt för två. Få en smak av verkliga St Lucian samhällslivet här. I flera bostäder i närheten bor utökade familj av villans ägare, så det finns ingen brist på omtänksamt uppmärksamhet! Julie, villaens chef kommer från en lång rad fantastiska kockar, och hennes onda västindiska rumstans kommer att få dig att pissa på mer! De kommer att glädja dig med läckra kreolska rätter och fantastiska cocktails på verandan när solen går ner över Karibiska havet. Snygg magi! https: // youtu. vara / zgz78GCLBvY

Beläget på en kulle, lockar villan varje korsström av cool luft, så det finns inget behov av luftkonditionering, men varje sovrum är utrustat med en elektrisk fläkt. Det rymliga sovrummet (17ft x 14ft) har en king size-säng, plus en robust vikta enkelsäng för en tredje person. Det finns ytterligare två dubbelrum (12ft x 12ft), ett med en dubbelsäng och den andra med två enkelsängar. Det finns två badrum, ett en-suite till sovrummet och en mellan dubbelrum (endast duschar). Det finns också en trä sluten dusch i trädgården. Den enorma vardagsrum (25ft x 25ft) har en bardisk och är möblerat med två fyrsitsiga soffor, två matchande fåtöljer och andra bekväma sittplatser, och det är ganska mönstrade halm mattor på färgade trägolv.

Det finns satellit / kabel-TV, stereo med radio, telefon och internetuppkoppling. Vardagsrummet öppnar upp mot en magnifik veranda (15ft x 44ft) med fantastisk utsikt runt om. Verandan har en solid runda furu bord med plats för upp till 12 gäster, även en mexikansk hängmatta, två teak solstolar och en gungstol för ytterligare avkoppling och komfort. Köket är utrustad med ett stort amerikanskt kylskåp, mikrovågsugn, ugn och allt du behöver för självhushåll. (Men om du vill vår fantastiska kock Julie att förbereda dina måltider, är allt du ber henne!). Det finns en rymlig tvättstuga med en tvättmaskin, elektriska järn, och andra användbara bekvämligheter. Sängkläder byts en gång i veckan, och handdukar när du vill ha dem. Villan är noggrant rengjord innan du anländer, men om du behöver ytterligare städning i mitten av vistelsen eller när som helst kommer vår städare att debitera dig $ EC150. 00 för jobbet.
Det finns ingen pool. Alla grannar har trädgårdar där de odlar frukt och grönsaker, en del håller några höns, ett får eller en get eller två. Ekoturism här är som vänligaste - du kan välja det bästa av två världar - sand och hav, och även en inblick i kulturen i St Lucia mest charmiga människor.

Minskning av priser för en vistelse på 4 veckor eller mer för grupper av läkarstuderande och praktikanter som kommer till studera vid NÄRHETEN Victoria Hospital. Contact Manager för KOSTNADER OCH ÖVRIG INFORMATION.

Exactly as advertised

This house is exactly as advertised, and we loved our stay! That porch and the shutter-style construction are really special. We enjoyed non stop island breezes.We travel with a narrow manual wheelchair, and the home was very comfortable. The front entrance has a ramp with about one inch rise at the front door. There are no steps or thresholds through the entire space. The master bath has a solid wooden grab bar and works for a standing transfer. The shower has a low step in but no bench. It met our needs.The host family was incredibly responsive to a few questions we had throughout our week. We shopped regularly at a Massey market about a 5-10 minute drive down the hill. (Driving in the neighborhood is no joke! I recommend getting the insurance for your rental car. We had a tire blow.)We enjoyed two wonderful home cooked meals from Kisha’s family. They were hearty and flavorful and a memorable part of our stay.We loved our stay here!

House with a view!

A breathtaking view from the house but very had to locate the house. The gps does not pick up well on the hill which create problems if you are relying on it. The house do not have AC which is a negative thing and get very dusty since you need to keep all windows open to cool the house down. They do have a standing fan in each room. In my opinion its is still hot at night. The hot water comes and go since it is on solar. The washing machine do not wash the clothes clean and leave residue on it. No dryer so you hang dry eveything. The neigbours are friendly. Its a beautiful home but i would not recommend it. Btw, keisha, the woman who over sees the house is very responsive. Dusty

A Month in St Lucia

We chose to stay in a home away from the resorts to experience the island like a native. This goal was met. The neiborhood is very friendly everyone was very helpful. We felt safe and welcome. Our biggest challenge was the steep roads and driving.our group was 70 plus so the walking was difficult and as us drivers it was too difficult to rent a car. Luckily we were introduced to Tall Who picked us up at the airport and drove us almost daily to the beach , and various shopping and restaurants. The house is a elegant Villa with a beautiful View of the harbor. We enjoyed the sea breezes and felt very comfortable during our stay

Dylyn and Chris couldn’t have possibly been better or any more helpful. Whenever we had any issues, they were right on it. We feel like we’ve made friends for life. The home is lovely and well kept, inside and out. I’d come back here in a minute. Love it here in St Lucia and a Villa Frangipani!

Frangipani 🎉🎊🏅🥇🌟

Frangipani, what can I say that will justify it. The villa is fabulous, the views from the wrap around veranda are absolutely breathtaking and outstanding. It was a regular morning routine to watch the cruise ships sailing into the Castries port from the veranda. The sunsets are spectacular, depending on the weather, however extremely beautiful. Vincent who picked us up from the airport, was invaluable and the service was second to none. He enabled our party to travel the island and experience the real St Lucia, which is lush, green and exceptionally beautiful. I highly recommend this property and I will be coming back to St Lucia and Frangipani will be my first choice to stay at.

A PLUS FROM US

Honestly I was skeptical and anticipated a scam when I first viewed VRBO and this property mainly because it looked too good to be true. All my concerns were cleared once I did my own research, found the owners on facebook, and called them. A warning though, they live in the UK so my 60 minute conversation with them cost me 180 dollars US. Dylyn and Chris are genuine people and it was a pleasure talking with them. A little about the property. If you are not from the island or don't know it well, you may have some issues finding it at first. It isn't secluded but you'll travel down roads and question the GPS accuracy. We stayed upstairs and the property was absolutely beautiful with the most amazing views. The beds were uncomfortable to us though. However we were grateful because more than likely they were better than most. Cooking was a bit of a challenge. There was one skillet and the other had a broken handle. There wasn't any spices to cook with but we left plenty for the next group. The shower pressure in the main bath is at a trickle whereas the master bathroom shower had plenty. The hot water was very limited but that didn't bother me much. This rental property has a home alarm system. MAKE SURE IT IS WORKING PROPERLY. It wasn't working correctly when we arrived but the owners were quick to get someone to fix it. There is not a TV as seen on the pictures, so if you desire entertainment pack all your passwords and stream off the WiFi, no problems. The views we saw on VRBO are real and breathtaking in person. We saw some of the other rentals while on our drives out and we definitely had the better one. Stay at this one, we were certainly glad we did. If you have valuables as in jewelry and cash do not store it inside your locked car (thinking the car alarm will be enough to detour a thief). In fact DO NOT store anything in your car that you don't want stolen. Our car was broken into on day 2 of our stay. The thief's were smart and disabled the battery then bent the top of the driverside door down low enough to unlock it. The Property Managers, Julie and Kiesha are very nice and were very helpful. They live across the street. Most neighbors have pitbulls as guard dogs so going to a neighbors house for something can be tricky. If you do not have WhatsApp installed on your phone you will need it. We found that is the best way to communicate with them. In summary, this isn't an all inclusive overpriced resort.

Beautiful View, Loved the House---Stayed 3 Weeks

All I can say is WOW!!! Frangipani Villa is very spacious!!! The view, the airiness about the Villa was just WOW!!! There was no need for air conditioning!!! The Balcony is to die for!!! The Property Managers, Julie and her daughter Kisha were just the BEST!!! They were really helpful. Julie is a superb cook... I enjoyed having breakfast on the Balcony. I was born on St. Lucia but left as a little girl, so I appreciate the house, the view of Vigie Beach and Airport and the beautiful Sunsets. I also appreciated the location.. Close enough to everything but far away to prevent my huge family from just dropping by and disturbing my peace and relaxation!!! Lol!!! The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors were very friendly!! I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Home and Stunning View

Lots to do in St. Lucia, but we spent most of our time on the veranda. Beautiful view of the sea and marinas. Lots of birds, including the Crested hummingbird and Trembler. Julie made lovely meals. Joel took us to market when we wanted. People on the un-named street were friendly and helpful. Impossible to find the villa without a street contact. We had several issues with the property, but the owners were very responsive and took care of it. We would rent the home again.

Fantastic stay!

We stayed one week and I highly recommend it. The information newsletter from Dylyn was very helpful. I also would recommend having Julie cook you a meal, it was delicious ! There is a convenient store within walking distance if you run out of toilet paper, bottled water or other necessities. And what to say more about the view...simply WOW!!! The only advice I would give ( and has nothing to do with the Villa) is to bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. There are many dogs in the neighborhood and they barked at all hours of the night. I also regretted not bringing my binoculars as it is a great place for bird watching as well. All in all, I highly recommend Villa Frangipani ! Jeff & family

lovely Villa

Property was neat and clean when we arrived. Introduced by manager who was always there when needed. The view from top of the property was amazing. A little far from the actual city centre for us as we were there for Carnival so ended up spending more on travel than intended. however that was due to us not looking at the map well enough. Other than that Villa was great.

Beautiful Villa Frangipani: lovely house, gorgeous views

Villa Frangipani was one of the highlights of your 3-week holiday in the Caribbean (Martinique and St. Lucia). The house itself is beautiful and very attractively designed and laid out and the verandah, with its loungers and rocking chairs, is a delight. It’s also cool and airy, and although fans are provided we didn’t need to use them. The views are fabulous at all hours of the day, and the sunsets are spectacular. Another plus point is that the furniture and crockery etc. are also attractive: not an afterthought, as in some holiday rentals. You feel as if you're a guest in a real home, which is very nice. Dylyn, the owner, sent us a helpful newsletter before we arrived, with lots of tips about places to see and things to do in St Lucia, and some useful local contacts. For example, Julie, the villa's joint manager, who also cooked us a wonderful meal; and Paulie, a super-helpful and friendly driver who took us on a tour of local beaches. In the end we opted for Vigie beach: it's nearby and never too full, and great for long walks at the water's edge. We did hire a car, which we found indispensable for shopping and getting to and from the beach. I felt a real sense of accomplishment once I finally plucked up the courage to drive down to Soufriere, where we spent a few days, as my husband had been doing all the driving up till then. There's a well-equipped utility room in the Villa with a line for drying clothes, but an additional line or clothes horse would be helpful, for beach towels etc. Our one regret is that we didn't stay longer - we were only there for 6 days. We'd love to go back and stay for a couple of weeks to really enjoy this beautiful home to the full. Thank you, Dylyn and all your great team!

Un endroit merveilleux

Nous avons passé un séjour formidable dans la villa Frangipani. Cette maison qui allie qualité, raffinement et propreté irréprochable est tout simplement parfaite pour passer un séjour sur l’île de Sainte-Lucie. Placée sur les hauteurs de Castries elle offre une vue à couper le souffle et ce quelque soit la pièce dans laquelle vous vous trouvez. L'endroit est un très bon point de départ pour partir à la découverte de l'île (attention les routes sont très mauvaises prévoir un 4x4 pour se rendre dans les anses). Nous avons été accueillies de façon très chaleureuse par les maîtres des lieux. Chris, qui parle un français irréprochable, est toujours prêt à vous rendre service et vous faire découvrir les richesses de l'île : visite du marché, découverte culinaire, et sans jamais s'imposer le tout dans une classe "so british !". Vous aurez également la possibilité d'avoir des repas d'un super rapport qualité / prix et typiques servis à domicile que vous pourrez déguster sur la terrasse, toujours avec cette vue imprenable sur la baie de Castries (merci à Julie et Kisha). Pour conclure, si vous voulez découvrir Sainte-Lucie, pas de doute c'est à Frangipani qu'il faut se rendre les yeux fermés. Merci encore à Dylyn et Chris pour leur gentillesse et leur hospitalité. Julie, Denis, Adeline, Jean-Philippe et Romain.

Sunsets, rainbows, and the view!

My husband Nic and I had a wonderful 2 week stay at Villa Frangipani. We loved that the house was located in a local neighborhood with friendly, helpful people. The openness of the house allowed for wonderful breezes. We enjoyed exploring the island in our rental car and hired Paulie to drive us to the Jump-ups (a street party with great food) on Friday nights. He's a gem and very responsible. We absolutely loved the large, comfortable porch and spent most of our time enjoying the view, listening to the sounds, and watching the beautiful sunsets! After a rain, we would see large, colorful rainbows, really magical! We ate delicious local food, even buying freshly caught Mahi from local fisherman. On our first night, Julie cooked a delicious traditional caribbean meal for us, served with Hidden's tasty rum punch!! We were fortunate that the owners, Dylyn and Chris were visiting from London. Delightful people we enjoyed spending time with. A great experience on St. Lucia at the Villa Frangipani!!

Just wonderful

I apologise for my poor English, but I would like to say that the twelve days we spent in Saint Lucia, at the villa Frangipani, were beyond our dreams. Forget Rodney Bay, you can find such touristic places everywhere, but you wouldn't find another villa Frangipani. It is located in a pleasant neighbourhood, with nice people around to help you if you need it. Hidden and his wife Julie are just great and... good cooks too. And Paulie is a gentleman I regret not having known better. A breathetaking view from the veranda, singing birds on the trees all around, reggae and calypso instead of alarm clocks and an island with fascinating historic background. of course there are beaches, and in Saint Lucia they are wonderful, but why not, also, talking to the beautiful people of Saint Lucia ? They have plenty to say about life, economic issues, richness and poverty. About the use of chemicals in agriculture, about the place of the Caribbeans islands in the world. And about music and parties. Saint Lucia is a musical island and villa Frangipani the most wonderful score of the Caribbeans.

Awe: The Villa Frangipani!

A FANTASTIC TIME Almost 2 weeks ago we came back from St. Lucia, time really flies… We had a great time at the Villa Frangipani and on the Island. We were really grateful to Dylyn the owner for her little “travel guide" which was contained in a Newsletter, and we tried a lot of the things she recommended. We travelled to the south of the island and went to the Ladera Resort and had a very enjoyable cocktail and an exceptional close-up view of the Pitons. We travelled to the north of the island and ate at Jambe de Bois restaurant, Pigeon Island. We visited Marigot Bay where we had lunch at “Doolittle’s” where the film 'Doctor Doolittle' was made. The “Jump Up” in Gros Islet was really entertaining, and we were happy at beautiful Anse Chastanet, Anse Cochon, and Ti Kaye Village. The last hours before departure were spent at the Rendezvous Resort, which was lovely and interesting, just as Dylyn’s Newsletter said it would be. In the evenings we spent several nights enjoying Hidden’s fantastic creole food, his rum punch and – of course – loads of Bounty rum and Piton beer J while experiencing some of the most wonderful sunsets. Every morning, after an early wake up call from the neighbourhood cockerel, we watched the cruise ships coming into Castries harbour. As I work in tourism, I liked checking out with my binoculars which company was arriving. Travelling in our little Chevrolet Spark was fun and exciting due to the “crazy roads” and the experience of a flat tyre on the second day – a lot of fun though – and after returning we felt quite odd driving on our good streets again! J We loved the rainforest and natural beauty of St.Lucia, and will hopefully come back in the future to stay at the villa Frangipani with the stunning views. We would like to thank Dylyn very much again for renting her lovely house to us. We will definitely recommend it to our friends. Christa O.

Home from Home

My husband and I had a wonderful 2 weeks at Frangipani. David uses a wheelchair and was able to access all parts of the house, he was even able to get his own beer out of the fridge ! The views were stunning and David loved getting up early and getting out on to the veranda to watch the cruise ships coming into Castries. It used to be us on the cruise ships coming into our beloved St Lucia so it was great to see it from a different angle. We have been coming to St Lucia for many years but this is the first time self catering. Hidden and Julie were lovely and Julie's caribbean cooking was yummy as was Hidden's rum punches, wow!. It was great sharing caribbean life with friends and family of the owners, a real home from home. David had a little trouble in the shower as he is unable to stand but Hidden provided us with a plastic garden chair which solved the problem straight away. Nothing was too much trouble, they looked after us so well. Mosquito nets were very helpful and well worth using. We did get a few bites but nothing troublesome, just need to take plenty of mosquito repellent and cream for bites. Dylyn and Chris's Newsletter was the best i have ever read - it covered everything you would need to know - the good and the not so good. I found it so useful, even down to telephone numbers for the airport, taxi's if needed, emergency services and pleasure/ideas for activities and excursions. We spent a day at Rendezvous Hotel where we have stayed many times in the past but we looked forward to going "back home' to our lovely view. As David is disabled we hired a car for the whole holiday which was great. A friend of the owners has a car hire company and they met us at the airport driving us to Frangipani and did the same on the return journey - this was so helpful for us and a great way to start and end the holiday. We will be back next year hopefully with my mum and brother and his wife who I think will love it. Thank you for letting us share your lovely home.

Lovely Villa with Spectacular View!

We visited St. Lucia for a close friend's wedding, which was held at one of the Island's Sandals resorts. All of our friends stayed at Sandals for four days, while we decided to extend our stay to 12. We are glad we chose this Villa as we wound up paying less than half of what our friends payed and we stayed three times as long! The Villa is gorgeous and was perfect for all of our needs. A constant breeze through the villa eliminates a need for an Air Conditioner. The view from the large back porch is breathtaking. The garden shower was locked and therefore, out of commission for us to use, however, the indoor showers were enjoyable. The location of the villa isn't prime for walking unless you are accustomed to the island, as villa is on the top of a large, steep hillside. It is recommended to use Paulie (see below) or rent a car. As for the location of the villa with regard to having transportation, it was prime for us, as our friend's wedding was only a 20 minute ride. All other amenities were in close riding distances, including the beach, shopping, restaurants, and guided tours of various kinds. Hidden was a pleasure to have around and full of knowledge. He often stopped by with freshly picked fruit from his backyard. The local fruit was more delicious than the same fruit we would pick up in our local supermarkets back home. We also had the pleasure of enjoying some of Hidden's food that was absolutely delicious and like nothing else we had tasted (off and on the island!) Having Hidden cook for you is a must if you want to enjoy the local island food! (And make sure you taste some of his Rum Punch ... emphasis on Punch!) Paulie (our personal transportation provider, who is provided upon request from Dylyn) was a pleasure to have handy. He catered to all of our needs, regardless of the time of day or night. He was very helpful and able to either match or beat the local taxi prices.

a wonderful holiday in a beautiful villa

We spent two wonderful weeks at the villa high on Castries. After walks in the rain forests of Saint Lucia, was it always very a rest on the terrace to sit and relax. The villa is equipped with everything you need to spend a nice holiday. You do not necessarily need a car, but it is useful after the purchase. A taxi from Castries to the villa is not expensive, we have paid always 25 EC. We thank Dylyn and his family for the Nice accommodation, we come back safely. many greetings Rita and René

A fabulous week at Villa Frangipani

We spent a fabulous week in St Lucia and have so many wonderful memories. We arrived at Villa Frangipani in the evening and we met right away Hidden and Julie. They greeted us with a bottle of island rum punch and Julie had prepared a great local soup and fried fish. This was perfect after our travels. The villa is very spacious, clean and was perfect for our stay. I agree with all the other reviews that the veranda with its views is the place to be. We took our morning coffee there, planning for our day, and spend all the evenings there, before retiring for the night. We were very fortunate that Dylyn and Chris were in town at the same time. Both are very welcoming and helpful with suggestions. Chris mentioned some scenic roads and places to visit on the island. We went several times to Anse Cochon where we found great snorkeling (on the right of the beach) and nice lunch as the Ti-Kaye resort. We also had great dinners at "Jambe de Bois" (Wooden Leg) , a small restaurant right at the edge of the water in the Pigeon Island Park. The location, drinks, food, service, other guests (mostly sailors) - everything was great. If you are eager to discover St Lucia at your own pace, by exploring markets, restaurants, beaches and resorts (for lunch), Villa Frangipani is the ideal place to stay and relax. We had a fantastic time and hope to be back! Barbara and Patrick

We thouroughly enjoyed our stay

We wanted something different for our 5 week stay in St Lucia, Villa Frangipani fitted the bill, although rustic the villa is spacious. If you want a sanitised version of the Caribbean, go to a soulless resort. However, if you want to experience life in a Caribbean community, go to Villa Frangipani. The villa doesn’t have or need air-conditioning, as the location is on a hillside the constant breeze keeps the villa cool and pleasant. The very large veranda has stunning views out across Castries harbour and Vigie beach. On booking, Dylyn will send you a helpful newsletter about the villa, what to do and where to go on the island. Dylyn & Chris were very helpful and had lots of tips and ideas for things to do. As with all locations there are pro’s and con’s. Being in a residential area you must expect noise, everyone lives outside, and like all hot countries the local dogs seem to prefer to be active at night time, and the chickens may well give you an early wake up call. St Lucian’s seem to only have one setting when playing music and that is LOUD. It is true that you can manage without a car, but we doubt that you would want to. The walk into Casteries town is down a steep hill, we would not recommend walking back to the villa as the local ‘mini’ buses run frequently and at less than 2$ECD is very cheap. You can walk to the beach and back, but really the walk back up hill negates the enjoyment of the beach. Taxis and buses can get you to every part of the island, for us, a car was a better deal. We felt completely safe in the neighbourhood and Hidden was always on hand with advice, particularly on how to make rum punch. The local mini-market is very good for daily staples. Everyone wants to say hello, it’s a very friendly area, help and advice, all provided. Vigie is the nearest beach, long, sandy, backed by trees. Our afternoons included walking along the beach, then having a swim. We visited beaches on both coasts, resorts like The Landings and Ladera. Villages like Dennery & Soufriere. Rain forests, plantations, restaurants, distilleries, Marigot bay, Rodney bay & Marina, Pigeon Island. Do not miss the Saturday market in Castries, all Caribbean life is here. Sunday afternoons on Vigie beach is fascinating, families gathered for games of football and cricket, BBQ’s, & fun. Our favourite restaurant was Jame De Bois on the water edge, huge portions and 2 4 1 cocktails.

This villa is a beautiful place to stay.

This villa is a beautiful place to stay. Just the view is spectacular. The villa has much place. During the two weeks we spent many hours watching the ever changing-view over castries and the ocean. The hammock was rarely unoccupied. Hidden helped us alot and he was always a welcome knock at the door. We heard and learnd alot about the island. We have had and wonderful barbeque - thanks to you again, Hidden. Hidden´s wife Julie is a very, very excellent cook - we enjoyed her local food on the veranda and felt magic ! Paulie was always there to help and sometimes we have been in his bar : not far away and friendly people. We felt very save in the villa and in his place too. We have had a very good time. As well thanks to Dylyn for all.

Villa Frangipani

We spent a month at the villa and were overwhelmed by the beautiful view from all the forward windows and verandah overlooking Castries harbour, Vigie peninsula and towards The Morne.I loved showering in the morning whilst checking out to see what new cruise ships were in port. We rented a car for the month and spent almost everyday out and about St. Lucia. Saw pretty well the whole island, including the NE with it's forest, plantations and rugged coast-not a regular tourist haunt.Brought back to Canada two 50lb chunks of Blue Mahoe hardwood (a variety of Hibiscus) for turning. When one is planning a trip to St. Lucia for the first time it is difficult to envision the very steep and mountainous terrain. Villa Frangipani is perched at the top of a steep hill and even though it is not far as the crow flies from the town. unless you are fit and used to hills one will need to take advantage of the van Taxis and/or the taxi owner just down the hill, or walk down and Taxi back. The villa is very spacious and well laid out with all the basic facilities you need including a washing machine. We had a very good relationship with Hidden and Julie as well as the neighbours we met.They were all very helpful and generous with local fruits and fresh coconuts. Be sure to bring a 1 litre Thermos with you if you love coconut water like I do and fill it at a roadside vendor for $10 EC. The villa is in very much a Caribbean community, with all the sounds you can expect in the Tropics, including dogs, frogs and music. It takes a few days to become acclimatized to it, so if you are used to sleeping in dead quiet bring some ear plugs or muffs. Make sure you use the mosquito nets and as Dylyn says bring some "Off". We loved the cool breezes up there and slept well; especially when it rained as it quite often did for brief periods at night. Make sure you go to the Fish Fry on Friday night at Dennery on the East coast and stop off at the Creole bakery after you have crossed the mountains for lovely hot buns straight out of the wood oven,filled with melting cheddar-mmmm! We had a great time in St. Lucia , enjoyed Villa Frangipani and hope to go back one day. Trevor and Avril-Winnipeg, Manitoba,Canada

Dylyn Riley Dalton är värd

Cheers! That's me Dylyn, in the picture. I manage the villa which is co-owned by me and other members of my family. Some extended family members who live in St Lucia look after the villa and our guests. My husband (a retired lawyer) and I (retired PA) reside in London, United Kingdom. I love travel, adore entertaining, and strive to be content and happy for myself and for my loved ones.

Varför värden valde detta boende

Because the town of Castries was where I was born and brought up and the villa overlooks this exciting city. Also, the villa is unique! It's the only holiday home I know of on the island, situated in a real St Lucian community where most of the residents happen to be old friends and tight-knit extended relatives. The beautiful Villa Frangipani stands amongst the homes of my lovely kinsfolk, always willing and happy to help each other and our guests. So here on holiday you not only have sun, sea and sand, but you get that extra buzz - a fascinating glimpse into the culture of St Lucia's wonderful people!

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

Staying at this gorgeous, wheel-chair friendly villa with probably the most stunning views on the island means that you can bring your family and friends to the best value-for-money holiday home in the entire Caribbean and you won't break the bank! And for wheel-chair users there is a ramp to the entrance, wide doors and corridors, grab-bars and easy to use showers. The villa is central to most places on the island from which you can easily travel to all other destinations either by public transport or by your own hired vehicle. Many guests say that our fantastic panoramic views could have them spending their entire vacation (armed with a cocktail or three) on our spacious veranda. And for me, my husband and family, we all adore our villa Frangipani and think it is the most beautiful place in the world.
