Photos and Description of the Castries holiday villa 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom + 1 garden shower, sleeps a maximum of 6

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!

Nearest Ferry : Castries at 1 Kilometres

Car: not necessary
Situated in the heart of a semi-rural neighbourhood on the very edge of the capital, members of the community are mostly related and have a sense of responsibility to each other. This caring hospitality is extended to Frangipani guests, but there is no intrusion on your privacy. Far from the madding crowd but within easy reach of restaurants, clubs and shopping, the villa is just 1 mile to the centre of town. It is also 1 mile to the nearest beach on the Vigie peninsula - a twenty minute walk or a very short transport journey through the most picturesque landscapes of eastern Castries. It is not necessary to hire a car. Little 12-seater public transport buses are frequent and loads of fun, and the bus stop is just yards from the villa. Your patronage will benefit the environment and the local people.

Further details for this holiday villa rental in Castries, St Lucia

Situated on a hill, the villa attracts every cross current of cool air so there is no need for air conditioning. The spacious master bedroom (17ft x 14ft) has a king-size bed, plus a sturdy folded single bed for a third person. There are two further double bedrooms (12ft x 12ft), one with a double bed, and the other with two single beds. Each bedroom is equipped with an electric fan. There are two bathrooms, one en-suite to the master bedroom and one between the double bedrooms. There is also a wooden enclosed shower in the garden. The huge living-room (25ft x 25ft) has a breakfast bar, and is furnished with two four-seater settees, two matching armchairs and other comfortable seating, and there are pretty patterned straw mats on the stained wooden floor.

There is satellite/cable television, stereo system with radio, built-in dock for iPod and socket for any MP3 player, and a telephone. The living-room opens out onto a magnificent veranda (15ft x 44ft) with breathtaking views all around. The veranda has a solid round pine table which seats up to 12 guests, also a Mexican hammock, two teak loungers, and two rocking chairs for your further relaxation and comfort. The kitchen comes equipped with a large American refrigerator, microwave, oven, and all you'll need for self catering. (But if you want our splendid chef to prepare your meals, all you do is ask him!). There is a spacious utility room with a washing machine, electric iron, and other useful amenities. 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. Eco-tourism here is at its friendliest - you can choose the best of both worlds - sand and sea, and also a look into the culture of St Lucia's most charming people.

Frangipani Villa
Ruth1955  Swansea, Wales, uk
Review Submitted: June 7, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We have recently returned from a wonderful week at the Villa Frangipani(May 2009) .The whole family had a fantastic time! The views from the verandah were breathtaking and you really felt at one with nature. We were made to feel very welcome by Paulie, Gabbo, Julie and Hidden and the meal Julie and Gabbo prepared for us was a true feast! Paulie was a great guide - full of information and always smiling! Nobody wanted to come home! Thank you very much - a very memorable holiday and we can''t wait to come back!!
Owner's Response: My husband Chris and I spent six and a half months in St Lucia building a flat below the villa and returned home to London just before this family arrived there. Building was hard work - but such rumbustious fun that we did not want anything to end. Our stay was indeed lengthy, but sometimes we just couldn’t drag ourselves away from the view, muchless finally to yank ourselves away home!

The real caribbean
John & Christy  London UK
Review Submitted: June 8, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
My wife, 2 year old son, and I stayed at Frangipani for 2 weeks in March 2009. The house, although relatively recently built, has all the style of traditional tropical architecture. Both the balcony and the view from it are every bit as good as they're cracked up to be, and the interior spaces are generous, attractive, and functional. The natural cross ventilation works well, so we didn't miss airconditioning, though it takes a bit of practice to get the louvres set right for a comfortable night's sleep. In this kind of building there is virtually no sound attenuation and quite a bit of light spillage in the morning, so we found ourselves waking early. Edward has got us used to that anyway, so no big problem.

Although the setting is said to be rural this is really the Caribbean version of suburbia - a bit wilder than North London where we live, but plenty of houses, and people, around. This was good for Edward - lots of children, plus their footballs and toys, and supervising parents. We felt comfortable letting him play across the street, which is a steep, unsurfaced cul de sac with just the occasional car passing slowly up or down.

The owners, Dylyn and Chris, have an apartment below the main house, and their presence was a boon - very helpful when we needed it, but respectful of our privacy when we didn't.

We rented a car, at enormous expense, but you need one if you are to get around easily. Although the house sits way above the town it is less than 5 minutes' drive to the streets of Castries below, or the highway north to Rodney Bay.

All in all, a good spot, in fact I can't think of a better one in all my years of holiday travel.
Owner's Response: As this reviewer is an architect with experience of working in the tropics, we feel especially flattered by his positive comments. His energetic 2 year old son Edward was a total hit, adored by the neighbourhood kids and greatly missed when the holiday ended.

Wonderful island hideaway
S&V  England
Review Submitted: March 17, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
We stayed for a week in March and loved it. You'll get the best of both worlds here with a chance to experience local life (and those magnificent views) while still being close enough to most of the islands attractions. We found a car useful for a few days to get out and explore the island but by no means necessary if you're prepared to hop on one of the very efficient buses along with the locals!

Dylyn and Chris (The owners) were great to have on hand and went out of their way to offer advice and show us around when we asked.

Particular highlights included Marigot Bay, Pigeon Point, dinner at the Coal Pot (local) and of course the legendary Friday night jump up at Gros Islet.

frangipani..the house with the view on the hill.
tresaregreen  farnborough
Review Submitted: September 30, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
we stayed as a family of four at villa frangipani in may this year (08) to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.
frangipani is the perfect place to explore st lucia. Not only is it a beautiful house but it has the most incredible view that i do not believe you could ever be tired of.
And the best way to enjoy it is....lying in the hammock with a malibu and pineapple....lazing on the steamer chair..just stand and admire...eating breakfast around the table on the deck.find your way..
to help you... turn to your neighbours. Mr j
the bus driver, or ganza the taxi driver, always there when you need them. totaly reliable. Ganza will always be early, is very friendly, and knowledgeable about the island. mr j and gabo happy to take you to far flung places.
both very reasonable prices.
the villa is very comfortable and attractive throughout.
info at the vila on places to go. we found the sunset cruise on the brig unicorn to be a fabulous trip, definatley worth the price.
although there is not a pool at the villa you can go for the day at most of the top hotels as all beaches are public. so long as you buy drinks. our favorite was windjammer landing especially on a sunday, a fab soul fusion band play live. simply divine.
Dylan the owner was truley helpful, from her resume' on the villa and info to actually getting one of her friends to take us to an annual beach barbecue, which was possibly the best day out we had.
frangipani is the perfect place to stay and you can pretend its yours for however long you stay. the birds sing to you in the turret of the house. It can be majical.
advice.... you must sleep inside the mosquito nets. try not to touch nets while sleeping. you will need insect repellant.
that being said ..... we loved staying among the friendly and kind people of st Lucia, so will you. The natural constant breezes will cool you down anytime of day at frangipani, you always look forward to returning to the villa.
Owner's Response: Whenever my group of friends in Castries throw beach picnics, barbeques or parties they will invite guests who happen to be staying at our villa at the time. It's a lovely way of enjoying a drink or more, great local grub, lively music and the company of a jolly bunch of St Lucians, and our guests tell us that the event usually turns out to be the highlight of a very special holiday.

Wonderful Place
Wedding guests  Malaysia
Review Submitted: September 30, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
I stayed at Villa Frangipani for a week in May/June 2008.
The accommodation was as depicted in the photos. The views were excellent and the surroundings peaceful. My friends and I really enjoyed staying there and all are willing to make a return visit. This is the place to stay in St.Lucia when you want to get away from the pressures of the modern world - surrounded by nature and tranquility.
Owner's Response: Our grateful thanks to the wedding guests of Malaysia for their very kind words.
