150 years old. The house is situated high in the hills in a small
estate. The gardens surrounding the house are fully landscaped
and are an excellent example of a truly lush and colorful Caribbean
garden and tended with care by the resident gardener/watchman,
George.
The house is a good example of Caribbean architecture
from the past centuries and has the typical scrubbed wooden floors
and a verandah, which encircles the house on three sides. There
are 2 double bedrooms with a queen size bed in each bedroom, one
bathroom and one shower room. A sitting/dining room, furnished
in the old fashioned style proper to the house.
The sitting room has a music center and a TV with
a video and a video library - there is no TV reception in that
area.
There is a small guest cottage with two single beds,
which on application may be available for rental.
The pool is spectacularly situated on the hillside
in its own sun deck.
This is a unique property situated in the countryside

driver/guide to meet you at the airport and transfer you to the
villa to start you off on a wonderful holiday at St. Remy.
