Villa Frangipani - A beautiful place to stay in St Lucia

A unique holiday home in a stunningly gorgeous ecological location overlooking the city. Big, beautiful, and set amongst flowering plants and tropical fruit trees in one acre of lush hillside, you’re unlikely to find a villa with more spectacular views. This is not a tourist resort in the usual sense, there is no pool, but this holiday home has loads more to offer. The largest and best value-for-money villa on the island sleeps six in comfort but is just as cozy for two. Get a taste of real St Lucian community life here. In several homes nearby live the large extended family of the villa’s owner, so there is no shortage of thoughtful attention, and of baby-sitters! Caretaker ‘Gabo’, a retired head-chef legendary in the capital for his fine cooking and wicked West Indian rum punches, has passed on his skills to his daughter Julie who will delight you with delicious creole dishes and fabulous cocktails on the veranda as the sun goes down over the Caribbean Sea. Sheer magic!

Bedclothes are changed once a week, and towels when you want them. The villa is cleaned once a week.

There is no pool. All the neighbours have gardens where they grow fruit and vegetables, some keep a few chickens, a sheep, or a goat or two.
