La Belle Helene

The villas entrance is quite remarkable, with French double doors and a huge hallway flanked by a grand double staircase, sweeping either side and culminating in a beautiful upper balcony. There is stunning cream marble and iron-metal balusters framing the stairway which make for an awesome first impression.

The house enjoys 10,000ft² of internal space so the double sitting room, dining area and bedrooms are all very spacious. The dining room can seat up to twelve guests and the living room is surrounded on two sides by sea-facing patios. From here, the patio leads through magnificent archways towards two open-air dining areas with ceiling fans and an open bar.

Externally, there is a large, exotic swimming pool at the bottom of a relatively steep hill, sloping down to both the pool and then a craggy, pebble beach. There is a pool deck, sun loungers and a few thatched cottages surrounding the pool’s edges as well as a waterfall feature and stupendous views across the ocean and up towards the Pitons. The pool depth ranges between three foot and fourteen foot so children should be supervised at all times.

The cook will prepare three daily meals but guests are responsible for their own groceries, although there is a housekeeper available to help. The fully-appointed kitchen comprises marble counters, coffee machine, cappuccino maker, deep-pan fryer, juicer, blender, dishwasher, ice-maker and two fridges. There is also a laundry room adjacent to the kitchen.
