Hillside in Lurin, this enchanting Caribbean-style colonial villa lovingly recalls earlier days on the island and is well-suited for people who want to disconnect from the outside world. Set amidst tropical gardens, Villa Margaux, looks out to the sea and beyond to the neighboring islands of Saba, Statia and St. Kitts. The location provides an optimum private getaway with proximity to all that the little capital of Gustavia offers for dining and shopping. There are four en suite bedrooms including one in a separate bungalow. Overlooking an oval-shaped heated pool, the bungalow also has a water view. It has its own kitchenette and a sunny deck. The master suite is on the second floor of the main house and features a walk-in closet, and views galore from the front and rear balconies of the sea and St Jean. Of the two first floor bedrooms, one has a water view and the other has a garden view.

The décor throughout is charming and in keeping with the home’s style. There’s a compact, well-equipped kitchen adjacent to an open-air living and dining areas. This space merges into a porticoed terrace furnished for al fresco dining. It makes for a special spot to enjoy the fiery sunsets.
