Where to begin on this absolutely Stunning Paradise?
We booked Christmas week about a year ago, and it was the best vacation ever. Once we stepped through the Villa's front gate and walked across the yard to the Villa, we were captivated from the unbelievable view of the Pitons and the sea.
The décor and inside amenities of the Villa were perfect. We loved that there are no glass windows in the Villa, anywhere. All open to the warm beautiful trade winds and the sounds of the rainforest and birds below.
The beds and bedrooms were perfect, each with their own bathrooms. We loved the inside/outside feel of walking to our rooms at night while the misting warm rain was falling.
The Staff -
Stephanie and BiBi ran the house, and it was absolutely perfect. Stephanie and the meals she made were spectacular! BiBi and her attention to detail was superb! I coordinated with Stephanie and she shopped for our meals, and made what we wanted. But after tasting her meals, we stepped back and she planned our meals. I decided to cook a Beef Tenderloin for our Christmas meal, and she arranged for it, and it was delivered to our Villa. Whatever we wanted, it happened. Thank You Stephanie.
Terry the groundskeeper was wonderful, and gave me a special tour of the Villa grounds and its flora. But most of all, the history of the Villa was wonderful! Especially since Terry has been employed by the family for over 40 years...
Each evening, BK made himself know that he arrived. It was nice knowing that BK was on grounds if needed. We never saw him, it wasn't obtrusive, it was just a nice feeling. Believe me, the security of the Villa was impressive with the wall and gates, and built on the hillside, only way in is with wings!
And of course, Clavie (the Mayor of Soufriere!) was the best. We always rent a car, wherever in the world we are, because I like driving in foreign countries. And we can go anywhere we want. But, this time, we let Clavie do the driving. He was so informative with all the history of the island and the area. He knows everybody, and everybody knows him! It truly was a pleasure being around him, and our security was his priority!
Thank You Mike and Jennifer for sharing your piece of paradise with us. There was so much that we didn't see! We spent a lot of our time, swimming, drinking and eating! The Villa is so comfortable, that we didn't want to leave!
La Batterie was exactly where we needed to be, to say goodbye to 2022
