La Bagatelle

Amazing space meets breathtaking views at this beguiling villa, where indoor and al fresco  living are imperceptibly merged, and luxuriant tropical foliage cushions the house in privacy. Polished wood floors and painted timber rafters frame effortlessly elegant rooms and terraces; the ground floor an open-walled, free-flowing area with dining and seating arrangements, a curtained  four-poster day bed adding exotic indulgence, and a hammock hung at the corner, catching the breezes, close to the tree canopy.

A suntrap tiled terrace hems the five-metre plunge pool, with cushioned teak sunbeds and  flower-filled planters. And the villa’s two bedrooms occupy the lower level, each with a ceiling fan and en suite shower room, one with two double four-poster beds. La Bagatelle’s housekeeper/cook adds an extra spoiling element to idyllic idling here, while the villa’s owners live next door and make their tennis court available to guests. A ten minute drive from amenities in Soufriere, the villa is within walking distance of Anse Chastanet beach.
