Villa Zandoli et Ti Zan (Cottage).

Le nom «Zandoli» signifie «lézard» dans le créole local français parlé par les insulaires bilingues sur la belle île de Sainte-Lucie. Cette maison exotique avec son style sensuel de luxe facile et cottage séparé - Ti Zan - situé sur un acre de colline à deux minutes à pied de la plage, combine le meilleur de l'architecture des Caraïbes avec un soupçon de l'Est, pour créer une villa de tropical exceptionnel flair, le caractère et l'ambiance. Avec ses boiseries antillais typique, faite à la main Demerra et fenêtres à persiennes, voûté de style indonésien toits de bardeaux en bois, mélange organique de la pierre naturelle, le marbre, le bois et le verre, extérieur orange brûlé, douches en plein air, la pierre et rocher piscine fermée entouré de jardins luxuriants, et belle collection d'art, cette maison de style offre un emplacement idéal pour une expérience de villa des Caraïbes exceptionnelle.

Situé à Becune Point, Cap Estate, Zandoli surplombe la baie de Rodney et l'île Pigeon et offre des vues spectaculaires à 180 degrés sur la mer des Caraïbes. Niché sur une colline, Zandoli se trouve à 2 minutes à pied de plus célèbre plage de St-Lucie, et 5 minutes à pied de l'île de Pigeon, un parc historique avec des ruines exotiques, abrite le célèbre Festival de jazz de Sainte-Lucie. Zandoli est à 5 minutes du village de Gros Islet, célèbre pour son vendredi soir poissons de la rue et de la musique »ups de saut», et le cœur de l'industrie du tourisme, Rodney Bay Village et Marina avec leurs nombreux restaurants et lieux de musique. Fitness, pêche, voile, golf sont tous facilement accessibles.

La maison principale est conçue autour de trois pavillons sur différents niveaux, reliés par des ponts fermés encadrant des vues dramatiques. Les deuxièmes et troisièmes pavillons, encadrant le pavillon principal de chaque côté, accueillent deux suites de chambre à coucher principale également spacieuses (320 et 300 pieds carrés respectivement) avec des lits balinais uniques en bambou à baldaquin. Chambre numéro 3, situé au niveau du jardin, a son propre patio privé sur le jardin, avec un lit queen size avec tête de lit oriental, des meubles antiques mexicains uniques et salle de bains en-suite. Chambre quatre dispose d'un lit de bambou balinais queen size, et des meubles indonésiens. Cela ouvre sur la terrasse de la piscine et le jardin. Chaque chambre s'ouvre sur une vue magnifique sur la mer et un patio privé menant à la piscine et au jardin.

Douches en plein air sont idéales pour profiter de la romance de la douche sous le clair de lune tropical et les étoiles! Les salles de bains 3 et 4 sont équipées de douches et ont leur propre atmosphère particulière.

La villa est accessible par la route, dont une courte section (environ 3 minutes) est non pavée - provoquant nos clients à dire que cela les met immédiatement dans l'ambiance de «Island Life». Nous recommandons généralement à nos clients d'opter pour un véhicule de type SUV s'ils sont intéressés par la location, étant donné qu'il offre un superbe accès aux joyaux hors des sentiers battus de Sainte-Lucie.

We just returned from Saint Lucia, and our stay at this beautiful VRBO exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, check-in was seamless, and communication with the host and housekeeper was outstanding—both were incredibly kind, attentive, and always easy to reach. It truly felt like we were well cared for throughout our stay. The breathtaking views, perfect location, and stunning pool made this an unforgettable getaway. A heartfelt thank you to the hosts for creating such a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this property and would not hesitate to return.

Thank you Angela - for this wonderful review. Even bigger thanks for being such exceptional guests - in every way. We are so appreciative of your kindness and graciousness - and for the manner in which you both took care of our home, in much the same way as you would have yours. You made hosting a real pleasure. We look forward to the privilege of being your hosts again, and wish you and family all good things, until then.

We loved the location and the house the only thing that was challenging was the access. The road to the house is in rough shape(not uncommon on the island). The parking was good but you had to walk down a steep hill to get to the house. I mention these things only because I feel other guests should be aware that it can be challenging to access, but we really loved everything else about the place.

Thank you Josh. I am excited however to share this update regarding our access road which you mention. Though this is a very short stretch of public road, (about 100 meters - less than a 2 minute drive) it has never been paved. As of March 16-17 contractors engaged by our group of 4 neighbors will have completed our community project to upgrade this final stretch. Our contractors have already installed new drainage and sections of road are being cast with concrete which will make for an easier ride. The job will be completed on March 17th. I should also note that building a beautiful home on a hillside is not straightforward - the very slope that gives every room in our home some of the most dramatic views on island - also delivers a sloping driveway. But - once at the front door - you are greeted by the most amazing views - and while older members of our family and friends ranging in ages from 50’s to 70’s (all reasonably healthy and very active) - cover the driveway in a 1 minute or so - health and fitness are all relative and we recognize that persons with mobility or fitness issues may find it more taxing. By all means send us a message if you have any questions about this being a good fit for your group. We would be delighted to respond!

Everything was nice! The host, driver, and the housekeeper were very nice and helpful the entire stay! The views are breathless! The only feedback - guests will need to prepare to go up and down the driveway to get to and from the villa, which can be a nice workout! Overall, everything was good. I would recommend staying here. Great service!

Thank you for your 5 star review! Fortunately the walk up our driveway takes a minute - or less - a great way to get daily steps in:) but the fact that we are on a small hillside - is the reason for our stunning views. If ZANDOLI were at sea level - the views would not be the jaw dropping ones which we wake up too and enjoy around the clock - from every room. Thank you so much for your stay! We hope to repeat the pleasure of hosting you sometime soon.

Unparalleled views!

This villa is simply outstanding! The balcony was my favorite space. Breathtakingly beautiful view of the Caribbean. My first morning as I drank my coffee on the balcony, I was treated to a perfect, full rainbow. The lower level had a gorgeous pool and deck. Everything was clean, and the housekeeper was waiting to welcome us when we arrived. After coming home, just for fun, I was browsing on VRBO and honestly, nothing could compare!

Peaceful

I enjoyed my stay. Although there wasn't any AC in the bedrooms, the sunsets, ocean breeze, views from the balcony made up for it. We had the most wonderful lady taking care of us during our stay, some people might call her a housekeeper but we considered her as our mother for 8 days. MUCH THANKS to Valda. I will definitely reserve this place again.

Wonderful Trip

We had a short but special stay at Zandoli Villa. The villa was perfect for 2 couples who needed it for a few days of peaceful relaxation prior to a destination wedding. Eddie was our driver and was always timely, kind, and fun. Velda was sweet and made sure we had all we needed. We had dinner delivered one evening using Baked by Yan, yum! The views and pool were perfection! Thanks for sharing your villa with us.

Stay in January

The view from the deck and pool are unmatched. The weather was incredible. Velda, Eddie and Andrew were awesome. Make sure that you get groceries before you go to the house. It is a bit remote and the walk to the beach is tricky.

Réponse de VrboOwner le 1 févr. 2023
Thank you Kelly for your review! Great that you loved our pool, decks and awesome views. I am however a bit nonplussed at the idea that the villa is a bit 'remote'. It is in a neighborhood of other villas and hotels, and a 5 minute car ride to Rodney Bay Village and marina for groceries. There are also delivery services if guests do not wish to leave the villa. What our guests love about the property - apart from its superb setting, its size and privacy, is the fact that it is an oasis of tranquility, a great place to retreat too after a day of touring, yet only a short car ride to the hustle and liveliness of the urban area of Rodney Bay - with shops, restaurants, live music and the rest. We are happy to provide that slice of respite and tranquility for those who are looking to unwind in a magical setting.

Amazing property

This villa is awesome, communication from host was excellent and informative. Place is huge and in a great location. Well stocked for kitchen items and very quiet. My only complaint is that there are a lot of shutters that have no screens so the mosquitos were rampant at night; even in dry season, and that the main bedrooms have no AC.We got bit a lot despite using the mosquito netting and closing the bedroom door. Didn't sleep well at all due to the heat and constant mosquitos.

While our AC units were not fully installed at the time of this guest’s visit, we are very happy to announce that the process of retrofitting our villa to ensure it is AC compatible- is now complete and all bedrooms are now fully serviced with AC as of a few days ago (February 8th 2025). In addition - as in the past, all bedroom windows are fully screened and all beds have the further amenity of bed nets. Climate change has also brought with it both longer and shorter rainy seasons - and January had its fair share of rain despite being in our normal dry season. But we expect that the new AC’s now installed in every bedroom will add an extra layer of comfort for all our guests and we look forward to welcoming you to ZANDOLI!

A Heavenly view

Just what you dream of when coming to the Caribbean, wide open spaces, views from every corner. Caution no A/C but fans work well and a bit of a challenge to get to the house, then again it is at the top of a mountain. Wonderful housekeeper, very responsive host. Many thanks to you both.

Amazing

Loved it! The views are amazing especially at dawn and dusk. We walked often into town from the back gate for dinner and drinks. (Torch required). Velda the housekeeper was lovely and blended in well to our holiday. Eddie the driver was fun and knowledgeable about the island and took us out a few times - especially to shop. The local people are super friendly. The villa suited us well with all double beds. The only downside which has nothing to do with the villa was the islands mozzies. We were pre-warned and brought lots of repellent which did help.

Thanks Katie for a lovely review. You were terrific guests and it was such a pleasure to host you:) - forewarned was forearmed indeed regarding the mozzies during the rainy season which occur island wide (and beyond the tropics actually) - thankfully our bed nets and window screens do help with these - but repellants are the best defense when outdoors. We will soon be out of the rainy season - and the dry weather always brings with it a great reprieve!

Great place to stay in Northern Saint Lucia

My family loved this house! It is in a great location for exploring the very fun Northern Saint Lucia area, and a great respite to come back to in the evening. Tons of space for hanging out and absolutely incredible views from the deck and pool area. Lots of different beaches nearby provide something for everyone whether you are looking for a busy fun area with plenty of bars and restaurants or an isolated beach with nobody nearby. I loved wandering around the property looking for interesting lighting for photos at different times of the day; I got some great shots of flowers, geckos, hermit crabs, many different birds, and some stunning sunsets. If you leave the bedroom doors open, don't forget to ruffle the bedding and mosquito nets to look for mosquitos BEFORE you get into bed and close the nets! I learned this the hard way! Thanks again to the owner for sharing this wonderful house.

Wonderful Stay

My family of 6 adults really enjoyed our stay at Zandoli. The housekeeper Velda gave us a big welcome, answered all our questions and was a delight to talk to. We started off each morning sitting on the porch, drinking coffee and taking in the amazing views. The pool was great. Loved the open air concept of the house. Recommend keeping bedroom doors shut during the day and using the mosquito netting at night to avoid any mosquitoes getting in. We saw very few. There's ceiling fans and standing fans in every bedroom and everyone was comfortable while sleeping. There's a security system with instructions for use and we felt very safe during our stay. We did walk to Pigeon Island from the property one day. Hiked to Signal Point and the views were amazing. Would definitely recommend Zandoli to family and friends.

Lovely honeymoon stay

My wife and I spent 1 full week at Zandoli for our honeymoon. This villa is enormous-definitely more space than we needed, but having the extra space & privacy was very nice. Checking in was very smooth-we arranged for a pickup from the airport using their driver (Eddie)-he's amazing and was a great resource for anyone visiting. We were greeted at the house by the housekeeper, Velda. She was lovely and gave us a full tour of the abode. For guests planning to visit, I would definitely encourage having a car-the villa is in a picturesque location, but it is difficult to get into/out of town & other major locations without a cab. Depending on how much travel you plan on doing, this can run up a bill fairly quickly. The whole house is fully open air, which is awesome. We had some nice birds we quickly became frinds with. FYI though that it can get toasty at night as there is no AC and depending on the time of year, the fans can be helpful but not enough to cool down everything. Lastly, Len (the owner) was amazing all the way through the trip. She was very quick to answer any questions and helped my wife and I enormously. The stay was amazing, the views are magnificent & we would 100% come back. Thank you so much!!

Thank you Adam for your lovely review! We are lucky to enjoy such stunning views and happy to have hosted you during such a special time. Just a note to say that our AC’s will be installed over the next few weeks and our site description will be updated once this work is completed. Fortunately grocery and other shopping are only a 5 minutes ride away so the trips aren’t long ones and it’s great to have the option of renting a vehicle or being shuttled around by Eddie. We are happy that you enjoyed your stay and look forward to the pleasure of hosting you perhaps some time in the future!

Beautiful views - challenging house

We traveled to St. Lucia as two families (4 adults, 4 kids under 11) and loved the villa’s spacious layout and incredible views of Rodney Bay. The porch was a favorite spot, and the easy walk to the beach and Pigeon Island Park (which has great hikes and quiet beaches—10 entry for adults) made outings simple and fun.That said, there were several disappointments. The villa is difficult to access—an SUV is a must. Despite AC being clearly listed, the host removed the remotes without notice and insisted it wasn’t included. After days of back and forth (and support from Vrbo), we paid 200 extra just to use it. At this price point, that felt unfair.We also dealt with maintenance issues: the stove needed to be lit with matches, several lights were out—including the pool’s, which we were told creates a magical ambiance. Security was excessive and confusing, and one of the kids’ rooms is detached, requiring us to lock them out of the main house at night to follow the protocol.St. Lucia was beautiful and the house had potential, but we felt unwelcome and wouldn’t stay here again.

While most of our guests are wonderful to host and we are proud of our status as Superhosts with a preponderance of 5-star reviews on multiple platforms, we were most uncomfortable hosting a guest who bullied and harassed our housekeeper to the point of tears with threats to ‘shut the villa down from receiving future guests’ which we reported to VRBO. When the guest made her reservation, AC was not listed as an amenity. We were in the process of installing the units, retrofitting our villa and modifying all windows, when she checked in. Noticing the units in the bedrooms, despite the housekeeper’s advice that the units were not fully installed, the guest launched into a tirade, demanding that all units be turned on – insisting that she had paid for AC - and threatened that she would ensure removal of the villa from VRBO’s platform should her demands not be met. She switched on the AC units in all 4 bedrooms for two days – regardless of the threat of damage to the new units since windows in two bedrooms were not yet modified, and the cool air was simply blowing out. VRBO contacted the guests regarding both the threats, and the request for payment for the use of AC in the bedrooms which had already been modified. VRBO would not have intervened unless they were of the view that such a request was warranted. The security and safety of our guests is our priority, this is why we provide safes for valuables, and an electronic security system. We recognize this review for what it is, and invite potential guests to read other reviews, and to visit!

Zandoli Review

This property is unique and not for everybody. Some will like it, and some will be uncomfortable. Pros: Nice view; Spacious; Nice, friendly housekeeper for check in; Host is professional and accommodating; Not a far drive to amenities of Rodney Bay. Cons: Hilly, dirt road to access the property, and treacherous driveway if you are in the main house (steep, windy, narrow, limited space to turn vehicles around—though not as bad if you are in the cottage). The house is open to the elements: there are no screens on the windows in common areas (there are screens in the bedrooms); openings in the roof/ceiling are by design, so birds, frogs, lizards, and mosquitos will inevitably find their way into the house. No A/C. Again, some will love the house and the open concept. Others will not be comfortable because the design allows for animals and mosquitos inside the property. If you want a spacious house open to the elements, in a secluded environment, with a nice view, this property is for you.

We thank Jay for his review and his visit - but agree - our villa is not for everyone . For guests who want the controlled environment which they have left at home - what we offer is not the same. Nor do we pretend otherwise. Our villa embraces the fact of its lush, tropical environment , the profusion of colors, tropical birds, huge patios for lazy mornings and evenings, and provides an authentic island experience, that of a spacious home in a tropical garden , close to the beach, with the most stunning views. All guests - including Jay, receive bundles of information before their stay - including that the parking area is at the top of the driveway. Our location on a hillside means that the driveway is not on flat terrain; but the walk from the parking to the front door - is less than 1 minute. Our bedrooms are all screened , beds come with beautiful netting; ceiling and standing fans are located throughout the villa. High eaves keep the villa cool and open to the breezes - but they too are screened by mosquito netting. We invite you to read the countless 5 star reviews on Airbnb left by happy guests, loving the experience. Many return repeatedly. We would be delighted to host you!

Perfect getaway

Our group of 4 absolutely loved Villa Zandoli. The home is large, the landscaping is gorgeous, the kitchen is very well-equipped, and the pool is perfection! Due to timing (COVID), we spent almost the entire time at the Villa, and we didn't mind that one bit. We loved lounging, relaxing, swimming, playing dice, and cooking our own meals with the groceries we had delivered. Just like other guests, we cannot say enough about Velda. Velda was so wonderful to us, we felt like she was a part of our family by the time we left. She and Len will help you with anything you could possibly need. We had dinner at Matthew's a couple times and the food and service was fantastic. Highly recommended. The Villa has a detached apartment that we didn't use, but it's super cute! The laundry space is outside of the apartment, and it was SO nice to have a washing machine on-site! The two master suites have HUGE bathrooms with open-air showers that are just dreamy! We used drivers, as getting a rental car was not allowed. We loved having the drivers so we could sight-see to and from the airport. Lastly, the owner Len is lovely to work with. She is very responsive and helped us with every single thing we could've possibly needed or wanted. Thank you for everything Len, we hope to come back again soon!

We were welcomed by the housekeeper Velda, who answered all our questions and kept the house in a state of sparkling cleanliness the whole stay. The house and property were magnificent. In particular, we will miss the view, the pool, balcony, and bedroom, with its airy coolness. The house is a short drive into town and close to several beaches. All in all, it’s well worth a return visit. Thanks again to Velda for her hard work and smiling personality.

Views with security

Wasn’t sure what to title it but staying here you forget that you’re right outside the city. The views are stunning. The space is amazing for an d tire family. The only thing I didn’t like was that it was open to the elements, which would have been awesome if there wasn’t so much trees. The misquotes ate my family 😆, but during the day the open concept was amazingly beautiful. We loved sitting on the landing and playing games and eating meals. The WiFi is great, but with AT&T the back room it can be a little weak. Didn’t matter cause if you’re back there it’s time to sleep. The showers are amazing and there’s a security system so that give us a real sense of security out there. Between the maid, taxi drive, and the host all questions were answered. We had little to no issues with anything. My only tip is ask for washcloths before the maid leaves. Enjoy the views…

This was one of the NICEST stays I've enjoyed ever. The villa was absolutely gorgeous, spacious, luxurious, and relaxing. We were originally nervous about not having air conditioning but it truly was not needed as the breeze from the ocean was enough to keep the house cool, not to mention that you can hear it from the bedrooms. The pool was gorgeous, the views were incredible, the property was well-maintained, our driver Eddy was amazing, the housekeeper Velda was so friendly, and Len was very helpful with setting everything up. Stay here if you have the chance!

Serene Stay with Breathtaking Views

This was a wonderful home that lived up to high expectations. The views were amazing and the house was up to date but complete with character and charm. Eddie, our intrepid driver, was always on time and informative and when he couldn't free up his schedule to drive us to a site, his nephew picked up the slack (I had been debating whether to rent a car and am thrilled with my decision not to. The right-side drive and the mountainous roads would have been extremely challenging). The wi-fi in the home was amazing. Best VRBO wi-fi I've ever experienced. The sounds of the birds and the ocean waves created an impressive vacation soundtrack to the lovely surroundings. As warned by the owner, the mosquito community also welcomed our arrival. WIth no central air, it was necessary to keep windows/doors open to create breezy and pleasant temperatures, but those conditions allowed early morning and evening mosquitos to enter. We quickly learned that heeding the owner's advice regarding the application of repellant was wise. The only criticisim, albeit incredibly minor, is that a few of the interior lights in the dining/living area didn't work which made nighttime reading a bit challenging. All in all, this was a wonderful property and an amazing experience.

Thank you Shalini for your lovely review. It is so odd for the islands to experience these pesky mosquitoes at this time of year. Normally, all over the world- the latter arrive with the rainy season which, in the case of our islands, is July - November. But rains have spilled over outside of what we consider to be normal into what would normally be deep into our dry season. I am afraid that even for naysayers, climate change is a reality which sadly, we are all learning to adapt and to cope with. We always recommend that our guests use repellent - this remains the best defense, applied around 4PM when outdoors or taking a tour. Our bedrooms are all equipped with screens at every window and over our very romantic, open-to-the sky bathrooms (don't worry those are very secure so are all windows) so these remain open at night. Our beds too are equipped with mosquito canopies, and we have installed mosquito traps ..putting in place the best defenses which we can. Unfortunately, mosquitoes are not unique to any one villa and are an island-wide nuisance when around but we do what we can to secure the comfort of our guests. Meanwhile we look forward to the dry season!! It can't come soon enough. We will be sure to give the comment regarding lighting in the dining space the attention it deserves. With well over 75+ interior and exterior lights our electrician is kept busy ensuring that these are in top shape before each of our guests arrive. We are on it (!) and look forward to giving you a warm welcome to Zandoli!

Magical Villa

Everything about our trip to St Lucia was amazing from the time we first got in touch with Len, through VRBO, to our return flight home. Everything was exactly as presented, with no surprises. The open air villa and spectacular views were well worth the trip!

Almost Perfect Experience

This is a beautiful property and Len the owner of the property is wonderful and I would recommend anyone to stay here but there were some highs and lows from my experience. Transportation: I chose this property for it was on the northern side of the island I did not plan on spending so much money on taxis to get around even though the taxi driver Eddie is wonderful! Other taxis we used continuously complained about difficulties coming up the gravel road to the property. The road does have steep turns and hills but if you drive carefully you can make it. One taxis driver made us walk to the end of the road with all of our belongings! To Len I would suggest looking into getting the road paved that leads up to the property. For guests I would recommend preparing to walk to meet taxis or only utilizing Eddie. Conditions of the property: The property was very clean no complaints here. There were issues with the electricity, majority of the outlets did not work and the pool light outside did not work so it was difficult to swim at night. The house manager informed us that Len would be replacing the pool light. Len informed me that there were only two American outlets so I brought outlet converters but majority of the outlets did not work in the house so the six of us still had to share the two American outlets in the house. Please prepare to be HOT there is no central air. There are fans but no way enough to combat the heat. Again, Len informed me of this but I honestly thought it would be fine with the fans but no I’m glad we were gone majority of the day. At night it is a little better. I would definitely recommend central heating and air or fix the outlets so more fans can be put in all the rooms. Insects/Wildlife/MOSQUITOES: Ok again Len informed us beforehand BUT we were no way prepared. This is by far my worst experience with insects and wildlife. First there is a cat, we named him Felix. He found his way in house we had to ensure we closed every door behind us. Other guests must feed him that’s why he stays around, we did not. It got annoying trying to keep him away. The insects are all over so just keep your belongings off the floor. The Mosquitos is what made my experience miserable! Again I came prepared because I was informed beforehand but bug spray didn’t work! NOTHING WORKED! Len had supplies but majority was empty from previous guests usage. I had an allergic reaction to the mosquitos and still suffering almost a month later.

I thank Tierica for her review, and, while delighted that she rated her stay as almost perfect, as a host who tries very hard to ensure a great experience, I am disappointed in not meeting all her expectations – what a pity! Having lived in the US myself, I must admit that it is very hard to recreate conditions in America, here on a tiny island, which is in the tropics, enormously beautiful, but, at the end, simply not as well resourced. At the same time, I do think that it is important that guests have reasonable expectations with respect of vacations in different parts of the world, especially destinations which are different economically and geographically, outside of branded resorts. Zandoli, is our home, which I designed and built, and is listed on VRBO and Airbnb as a short term rented villa; we try to make it comfortable for our guests on those issues which we can control. As of July 8th, 2021, we had a brand-new concrete public road installed by the government. Previously the last 490 meters to the property was a rolled but unpaved surface. The new road covers 300 meters, leaving 200 meters (less than 1 minute to drive along) unpaved. This last section is gentle, with no problem at all to navigate, even for the lowest cars. Since Tierica’s 4 day stay came a few weeks after construction of the new road, I was surprised to read the description of the road and experience with other taxi drivers; all the more so since Eddie – our wonderful driver - seemed to have shuttled the guests from door to door, daily. In any event, many guests choose to drive their own rental, and the property is serviced by a second fully paved road. Guests simply take the path next to the pool, to our garden gate, to the fully paved road – where they are picked up by large coaches for island tours. This is a walk through the property of less than 1 minute. There are 10 floodlights around the pool deck, all are working. They are extraordinarily bright. And while the single pool light is being replaced and rewiring is being done – there is no problem at all in swimming at night, even without moonlight – the area is so bright! Similarly, the fans and bed night lights are all secured in outlets, all of which are working. Our electrician checks bulbs and outlets prior to each arrival as part of our checklist. It is certainly the case that there are only two American type outlets in the villa. The electricity in St Lucia is 220 voltage, outlets use three prongs. I purposely wired the house with 110 voltage in the kitchen for the use of our guests using American type appliances. I also send a note in our welcome package to all guests advising of the voltage and outlets in St Lucia. Needless to say, the electrical outlets in other parts of the villa are all 220, and do not support 110 appliances. Converters for prongs simply will not work. These do not convert voltage. Mosquitoes are also seasonal usually July-November (in many parts of the world – and not only in the tropics). We have bed nets, screens at windows, and have installed mosquito traps; each room is equipped with ceiling and standing fans for the comfort and use of our guests. We do recommend the use of repellants and a note on mosquitoes is also included in our package to guests, prior to arrival. As for “Felix” the cat…we have asked the animal shelter to find a good home for the stray cat who has found his way to the property:) If you truly wish to experience tropical life , in a garden like rustic setting, and St Lucian culture, we invite you to read our wonderful reviews also on the Airbnb site for our property, and would be delighted to host you!!!

I built my home Zandoli, and cottage Ti Zan 12 years ago, on a site which I had waited to be put on the market for as long as I can remember - because of its simply stunning, panoramic views.

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?

Welcome to Zandoli our island home set in tropical gardens on a property of over 1 acre. The villa is close to everything - a 5 minute car ride to shopping, banks, restaurants, live music, and within walking distance to the beach - yet an oasis of tranquility to retreat too, incredibly private, intimate and romantic - with arguably one of the most stunning views on island! It has been a great spot for not only couples, friends and but families wanting a spacious well appointed villa, with awesome views providing a home away from home in which to enjoy each others company. Our decks are perfect for lazing, our pool crystal clear, the beach steps away. Gros Islet's famous Friday night street party, Rodney Bay Village and Marina, shops, restaurants, entertainment are all 5 minutes by car. Trails, fishing, spas, sailing, golf are minutes away. We can have your first dinner awaiting your arrival -and prestocking services are also available at extra cost. Our driver is available to pick you up from the airport and shuttle you around during your stay. His prices are reasonable and competitive - and he is a reliable and trusted member of our team - and a well reputed tour guide in his own right!

Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?

I fell in love with this site years ago because of its proximity by foot to the island's most fabulous beaches, places of interest such as Pigeon island's unique cultural heritage, historic forts and stunning views, the rustic village of Gros Islet - allowing guests to explore local life and cuisine all within a very small radius - but more than anything else, the incredible quality of its views. Many of our guests claim the villa to be more beautiful than its photos. The villa is furnished with art and other furnishings from around the world - but the architectural elements are essentially inspired by island living in the tropics.
