À propos de cet hĂ©bergement

Frangipani – un endroit magnifique Ă  dĂ©couvrir Sainte Lucie

Villa de vacances unique, dans un endroit extraordinaire, Ă©cologique, surplombant la capitale. Grande, superbe, sur un demi-hectare de vĂ©gĂ©tation luxuriante, de plantes et d’arbres fruitiers tropicaux, sur les flancs d’une colline Ă  l'est de Castries ; vous ne trouverez pas de villa avec une vue plus spectaculaire ! Ce n’est pas une rĂ©sidence de touristique typique, il n’y a pas de piscine, mais c’est la plus grande villa de l'Ăźle et le meilleur rapport qualitĂ© prix. Accueille confortablement 6 personnes mais elle est tout aussi chaleureuse pour 2. Notre gardien (un cuisinier Ă  la retraite) vit de l’autre cĂŽtĂ© de la route avec sa famille nombreuse, vous ne manquerez donc jamais de baby-sitter ! 'Gabo' est rĂ©putĂ© pour sa cuisine trĂšs raffinĂ©e et ses punchs avec un rhum antillais extrĂȘmement fort. Venez dĂ©guster les dĂ©licieux plats crĂ©oles et les fabuleux cocktails sous la vĂ©randa en admirant le coucher de soleil sur la mer des CaraĂŻbes. Venez vivre ce rĂȘve !

Située sur une colline, la villa est le point de rencontre de tous les courants d'air et n'a donc pas besoin de climatisation. La grande chambre principale (5 x 4m) a un lit extra large et un lit pliant robuste pour une troisiÚme personne. 2 autres chambres doubles (3,5 x 3,5), 1 avec un lit double et l'autre avec 2 lits simples. 2 salles de bains dont une attenante à la chambre principale et l'autre se situant entre les 2 chambres doubles. Vous trouverez également une cabine de douche en bois dans le jardin. Le grand salon (7,5 x 7,5) se compose d'un comptoir à petit déjeuner et de 2 canapés 4 places, 2 fauteuils identiques et d'autres meubles confortables. Sur le parquet vernis, se trouvent de petits tapis avec un joli motif de fraises.

TĂ©lĂ©vision avec cĂąble, radio, stĂ©rĂ©o, et tĂ©lĂ©phone. Le salon donne sur une magnifique vĂ©randa (5 x 14,5 m) avec une vue panoramique Ă  couper le souffle. La vĂ©randa comporte une solide table ronde en pin qui peut accueillir un maximum de 12 personnes, un hamac mexicain, 2 chaises longues en teck et 2 fauteuils Ă  bascule pour plus de dĂ©tente et de confort. La cuisine est entiĂšrement Ă©quipĂ©e avec un grand rĂ©frigĂ©rateur amĂ©ricain, micro-ondes, four, et tout ce qu’il faut pour prĂ©parer vos repas vous-mĂȘme. (Mais si vous voulez que notre trĂšs bon cuisinier vous prĂ©pare vos repas, vous pouvez le lui demander !).
Une spacieuse buanderie comporte lave-linge, fer à repasser électrique, et autres appareils utiles. Les draps sont changés une fois par semaine, et les serviettes quand vous le désirez. Le ménage est fait une fois par semaine.


Il n'y a pas de piscine. Tous les voisins ont des jardins dans lesquels ils font pousser des arbres fruitiers et des légumes. Quelques-uns ont des poules, 1 mouton, une chÚvre ou 2. Le tourisme écologique est on ne peut plus chaleureux - vous pouvez avec le meilleur des 2 mondes - le sable et la mer, et la découverte de la culture de Ste Lucie et de ses charmants habitants.

Exactly as advertised

This house is exactly as advertised, and we loved our stay! That porch and the shutter-style construction are really special. We enjoyed non stop island breezes.We travel with a narrow manual wheelchair, and the home was very comfortable. The front entrance has a ramp with about one inch rise at the front door. There are no steps or thresholds through the entire space. The master bath has a solid wooden grab bar and works for a standing transfer. The shower has a low step in but no bench. It met our needs.The host family was incredibly responsive to a few questions we had throughout our week. We shopped regularly at a Massey market about a 5-10 minute drive down the hill. (Driving in the neighborhood is no joke! I recommend getting the insurance for your rental car. We had a tire blow.)We enjoyed two wonderful home cooked meals from Kisha’s family. They were hearty and flavorful and a memorable part of our stay.We loved our stay here!

House with a view!

A breathtaking view from the house but very had to locate the house. The gps does not pick up well on the hill which create problems if you are relying on it. The house do not have AC which is a negative thing and get very dusty since you need to keep all windows open to cool the house down. They do have a standing fan in each room. In my opinion its is still hot at night. The hot water comes and go since it is on solar. The washing machine do not wash the clothes clean and leave residue on it. No dryer so you hang dry eveything. The neigbours are friendly. Its a beautiful home but i would not recommend it. Btw, keisha, the woman who over sees the house is very responsive. Dusty

A Month in St Lucia

We chose to stay in a home away from the resorts to experience the island like a native. This goal was met. The neiborhood is very friendly everyone was very helpful. We felt safe and welcome. Our biggest challenge was the steep roads and driving.our group was 70 plus so the walking was difficult and as us drivers it was too difficult to rent a car. Luckily we were introduced to Tall Who picked us up at the airport and drove us almost daily to the beach , and various shopping and restaurants. The house is a elegant Villa with a beautiful View of the harbor. We enjoyed the sea breezes and felt very comfortable during our stay

Dylyn and Chris couldn’t have possibly been better or any more helpful. Whenever we had any issues, they were right on it. We feel like we’ve made friends for life. The home is lovely and well kept, inside and out. I’d come back here in a minute. Love it here in St Lucia and a Villa Frangipani!

Birds eye view!

There is no place more adventurous and stunning to stay at when visiting St. Lucia. Experiencing awakening in the early morning and having breakfast in the veranda with a birds-eye-view of a large part of the south-eastern side of St. Lucia, ..... UNFORGETABLE. "...... staying elsewhere, there is your CC, ..... experiencing Frangipani ...... PRICELESS.

Frangipani đŸŽ‰đŸŽŠđŸ…đŸ„‡đŸŒŸ

Frangipani, what can I say that will justify it. The villa is fabulous, the views from the wrap around veranda are absolutely breathtaking and outstanding. It was a regular morning routine to watch the cruise ships sailing into the Castries port from the veranda. The sunsets are spectacular, depending on the weather, however extremely beautiful. Vincent who picked us up from the airport, was invaluable and the service was second to none. He enabled our party to travel the island and experience the real St Lucia, which is lush, green and exceptionally beautiful. I highly recommend this property and I will be coming back to St Lucia and Frangipani will be my first choice to stay at.

Beautiful View, Loved the House---Stayed 3 Weeks

All I can say is WOW!!! Frangipani Villa is very spacious!!! The view, the airiness about the Villa was just WOW!!! There was no need for air conditioning!!! The Balcony is to die for!!! The Property Managers, Julie and her daughter Kisha were just the BEST!!! They were really helpful. Julie is a superb cook... I enjoyed having breakfast on the Balcony. I was born on St. Lucia but left as a little girl, so I appreciate the house, the view of Vigie Beach and Airport and the beautiful Sunsets. I also appreciated the location.. Close enough to everything but far away to prevent my huge family from just dropping by and disturbing my peace and relaxation!!! Lol!!! The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors were very friendly!! I would definitely stay here again.

A fabulous week at Villa Frangipani

We spent a fabulous week in St Lucia and have so many wonderful memories. We arrived at Villa Frangipani in the evening and we met right away Hidden and Julie. They greeted us with a bottle of island rum punch and Julie had prepared a great local soup and fried fish. This was perfect after our travels. The villa is very spacious, clean and was perfect for our stay. I agree with all the other reviews that the veranda with its views is the place to be. We took our morning coffee there, planning for our day, and spend all the evenings there, before retiring for the night. We were very fortunate that Dylyn and Chris were in town at the same time. Both are very welcoming and helpful with suggestions. Chris mentioned some scenic roads and places to visit on the island. We went several times to Anse Cochon where we found great snorkeling (on the right of the beach) and nice lunch as the Ti-Kaye resort. We also had great dinners at "Jambe de Bois" (Wooden Leg) , a small restaurant right at the edge of the water in the Pigeon Island Park. The location, drinks, food, service, other guests (mostly sailors) - everything was great. If you are eager to discover St Lucia at your own pace, by exploring markets, restaurants, beaches and resorts (for lunch), Villa Frangipani is the ideal place to stay and relax. We had a fantastic time and hope to be back! Barbara and Patrick

A good time was had by all

This was our first warm weather vacation that was not at an all-inclusive resort and we had a terrific time! The view: Fabulous! We watched cruise ships come and go and even had a fireworks display off the back of a ship one evening. The accommodation: Clean, spacious, adequately outfitted, within walking distance to Castries and the beach but do be prepared for a strenuous return up the hill. We walked to town and back every day. Needless to say, I don't think any of us gained weight on our vacation! Remember to bring bug spray as there are no screens on the windows; there are nets over the beds. Do plan to buy your drinking and cooking water from the local mini-mart. The owner, Dylyn, was very helpful and an absolute pleasure to deal with! Julie and Hidden: Attentive, accessible, helpful, the meal cooked for us was absolutely wonderful! Paulie: Professional, reliable, always arrived early! The minibus: We chose to take the local bus on our trips around the island. It was very economical, but it can be unreliable particularly when traveling to Soufriere. In summary: Good value for our money! Our one week stay was too short so I would highly recommend booking for a minimum of two weeks so you have time to explore more of the island.

Beautiful Villa Frangipani: lovely house, gorgeous views

Villa Frangipani was one of the highlights of your 3-week holiday in the Caribbean (Martinique and St. Lucia). The house itself is beautiful and very attractively designed and laid out and the verandah, with its loungers and rocking chairs, is a delight. It’s also cool and airy, and although fans are provided we didn’t need to use them. The views are fabulous at all hours of the day, and the sunsets are spectacular. Another plus point is that the furniture and crockery etc. are also attractive: not an afterthought, as in some holiday rentals. You feel as if you're a guest in a real home, which is very nice. Dylyn, the owner, sent us a helpful newsletter before we arrived, with lots of tips about places to see and things to do in St Lucia, and some useful local contacts. For example, Julie, the villa's joint manager, who also cooked us a wonderful meal; and Paulie, a super-helpful and friendly driver who took us on a tour of local beaches. In the end we opted for Vigie beach: it's nearby and never too full, and great for long walks at the water's edge. We did hire a car, which we found indispensable for shopping and getting to and from the beach. I felt a real sense of accomplishment once I finally plucked up the courage to drive down to Soufriere, where we spent a few days, as my husband had been doing all the driving up till then. There's a well-equipped utility room in the Villa with a line for drying clothes, but an additional line or clothes horse would be helpful, for beach towels etc. Our one regret is that we didn't stay longer - we were only there for 6 days. We'd love to go back and stay for a couple of weeks to really enjoy this beautiful home to the full. Thank you, Dylyn and all your great team!

A Beautiful Hillside Retreat

Having previously stayed at Frangipani back in 1998 we couldn't wait for the plane to land, leave the tourists behind and be picked up by our dear friend Mr Johnson. Frangipani is the ideal destination to chill out and unwind (or party if the mood takes you) and we knew just what was waiting for us at the top of the morn - a home from home!! Everything you could need is there, but what you don't have back home is that fantastic deck area with the awesome views of Castries. You can never tire of sitting out there (or lying in the hammock - I still haven't quite mastered the knack of getting in and out, I obviously need more practice!!!), from the moment you wake up til the time you roll into bed, you will always spot something that you haven't noticed before!! The villa is lovely and airy with small birds as built-in pets, and if you leave your bananas uncovered they will definitely have a party!! Make sure you head on down to Vigie, a beautiful stretch of beach which is relatively unspoilt and used by the locals. We made very special friends on this visit, a young lad called Imran, who was happy to chat with us and very soon returned to the beach with his brother and sister. We spent many an hour playing cricket, the kids supplied the tennis ball, and the bat and the stumps were made from whatever we could find on the beach that day - I don't think we've ever had such fun and the children were an absolute joy. The bonus for us was that by the end of our fortnight we had taught the sister (Ghia) how to swim!!!! Visiting Frangipani is a taste of the real Caribbean; you interact with the local people who are without doubt the most friendly, helpful and fun people you could ever wish to meet. You will take away with you memories that will last you a lifetime. Villa Frangipani is exactly what is says on the tin, we can't wait to visit again!!!

Lovely Villa with Spectacular View!

We visited St. Lucia for a close friend's wedding, which was held at one of the Island's Sandals resorts. All of our friends stayed at Sandals for four days, while we decided to extend our stay to 12. We are glad we chose this Villa as we wound up paying less than half of what our friends payed and we stayed three times as long! The Villa is gorgeous and was perfect for all of our needs. A constant breeze through the villa eliminates a need for an Air Conditioner. The view from the large back porch is breathtaking. The garden shower was locked and therefore, out of commission for us to use, however, the indoor showers were enjoyable. The location of the villa isn't prime for walking unless you are accustomed to the island, as villa is on the top of a large, steep hillside. It is recommended to use Paulie (see below) or rent a car. As for the location of the villa with regard to having transportation, it was prime for us, as our friend's wedding was only a 20 minute ride. All other amenities were in close riding distances, including the beach, shopping, restaurants, and guided tours of various kinds. Hidden was a pleasure to have around and full of knowledge. He often stopped by with freshly picked fruit from his backyard. The local fruit was more delicious than the same fruit we would pick up in our local supermarkets back home. We also had the pleasure of enjoying some of Hidden's food that was absolutely delicious and like nothing else we had tasted (off and on the island!) Having Hidden cook for you is a must if you want to enjoy the local island food! (And make sure you taste some of his Rum Punch ... emphasis on Punch!) Paulie (our personal transportation provider, who is provided upon request from Dylyn) was a pleasure to have handy. He catered to all of our needs, regardless of the time of day or night. He was very helpful and able to either match or beat the local taxi prices.

Fond Memories of St Lucia

Only our first time in St Lucia but we're already hooked and thinking of our return to this magical island. Everything worked for us - people, scenery, beaches, food. We like to mix relaxation with activity on vacation and this is easily achieved with so many great beaches and sights within easy reach. Of course, when you're out there exploring and sampling the island delights it helps to have a good base to return to at night. Villa ' Frangipani ' fits this bill very nicely. It's spacious and comfortable and has the most wonderful position up on a hill overlooking Castries and its natural harbour. It has the usual features you'd expect from quality accommodation of this type but what makes truly memorable is its large living room leading to an outside, covered veranda from which you can see the whole panorama of the Castries port and coastline. An abiding memory of our stay here is sitting on the veranda with a cooling drink in hand watching those awesome sunsets. What makes the island interesting is the sheer variety of landscapes and vegetation from jungle to plains to mountainous rainforests and, of course, so many fine and secluded beaches. Blessed with an ideal climate for growing all manner of foods including delicious tropical fruits, we have to mention how well we ate during our time here - and drank too since all those typical Caribbean concoctions are produced locally. Good restaurants too with a strong recommendation for a visit to the Green Parrot - memorable eating and an equal memorable owner and chef. We hired a Jeep and toured the island and were impressed by the dramatic views on all sides. We will not forget to Soufrieres, for example. A stop at Anse la Raye for a morning coffe - a tradtional fishing village - then for cocktails at the Ladera Resorts with ist stunning outlook to the twin Pitons followed by a visit to the nearby volcanic crater and its active hot springs where we literally took the plunge and had a mud bath. And then to conclude our visit a cooling swim from the beach set between the Pitons. We must have covered most of the island during our time here and, along the way, we met most of the population or so it seemed and were impressed by their hospitality, friendliness and good humour. This is an educated and switched on people and ready to engage you on any topic under the sun. On reflection, this was perhaps the element which made our vacation so enjoyable.

The real St Lucia

Had a great 2 week stay with my wife and another couple. I try to be honest in my reviews of all our trips so here goes.... All dealings with the owner Dylyn were great, polite, prompt and honest. A pleasure to do business with and thanks for all your advice. If you want 5 star luxury resort accommodation then this is not for you. We have done that in many parts of the world, but wanted the feel of real island life and this is what we got. The villa itself is in a quiet residential area at the top of a hill. The locals are great, and thanks to Hidden and Julie, especially for his wonderful rum punch. The place is clean and comfortable, and my wife described it as rustic. There is no air conditioning but this was not a problem. The open plan and wide screen windows allow plenty of air in. As mentioned elsewhere the view is amazing, you will not tire of this. The descriptions given by Dylyn are accurate and honest, and we had no complaints that would warrant mention here. Worth a mention is the noise at night. Tree frogs, dogs, chickens and lively neighbours in the area make for some interesting sounds, and takes a little getting used to! The walk down to town is fine, but the one back is hard work so be warned. I would not recommend you attempt this at night. I also felt that Castries at night was a little intimidating and not for the faint hearted, but this is true of a lot of towns. During the day it was a hive of hustle bustle and good fun. A BIG thank you to Ganza, the local taxi driver who lives a couple of doors along the road and recommended by Dylyn. He is a true gent, and will gladly look after your needs. At 70 years old he is truly amazing. The local shop close by is fine for basics, and again gives you the real island feel. All in all, if you want the quiet life, away from the tourist scene, with great views and comfortable accommodation then please give this a go. Really great value when compared to others, and most importantly honest owner support throughout. Thanks again from four happy travellers. Recommended to all who want St Lucia without the tourists.

A Wonderful Time at Villa Frangipani

Hi Dylyn Just wanted to let you know we are getting ready to vacate and make room for your next guests. I must say, we are sad to leave. We had a wonderful time here enjoying the house and deck, and that extraordinary view. Many days we didn't even want to leave as we were so comfortable and content just staying here at the house. But the best part about being here, by far, was Beverly. She was attentive to us without being imposing, responded immediately to any small inconvenience. Bev carries a radiance that brightens whatever room she enters and it was always a pleasure to see her arrive. She prepared fantastic Caribbean meals for us which we all shared together, as she and Miraqle became a part of the family, and we a part of theirs. She, Miraqle, and Duane joined us for a fantastic sailboat tour to Soufriere one day (I'm not sure Bev found it delighful however, since she was seasick). Bev brought an delicious Roti lunch for us, so much better than anything we could have purchased! The boat tour was also blessed by porpoises that swam alongside the boat for about ten minutes, flying thru the water just at the bow of the boat and eyeing us sideways from under the surface of the water, showing off as they leapt into the air. It was magical. One day we went to Almond Bay resort, given a substantial discount arranged by Paulie. We did enjoy the resort, but were happy to get home. During the main meal there my nephew Michael expressed what we were all thinking- "We've been spoiled." He was referring to the wonderful meals prepared by Bev and which the resort restaurant could not possibly match, and our beautiful deck from which we watched the sunsets and cruise ship arrivals. Paulie was also our caretaker, arriving at exactly the requested time and graciously accommodating us for anything we wanted. Changes to arrangements or special requests were responded to with a cheerful "No problem!" His bill was itemized clearly and quite reasonable. So all in all, we were very very happy to have found Villa Frangipani and have made it our choice of residence for the duration of our stay. We were happy we chose to be here rather than a resort, for the homey neighborhood and lovely house, but mostly for being welcomed and treated so grandly by Beverly, Paulie, Duane, and even Miraqle. We will miss them. You have a lovely family and we are grateful for the time we spent with them.

We thouroughly enjoyed our stay

We wanted something different for our 5 week stay in St Lucia, Villa Frangipani fitted the bill, although rustic the villa is spacious. If you want a sanitised version of the Caribbean, go to a soulless resort. However, if you want to experience life in a Caribbean community, go to Villa Frangipani. The villa doesn’t have or need air-conditioning, as the location is on a hillside the constant breeze keeps the villa cool and pleasant. The very large veranda has stunning views out across Castries harbour and Vigie beach. On booking, Dylyn will send you a helpful newsletter about the villa, what to do and where to go on the island. Dylyn & Chris were very helpful and had lots of tips and ideas for things to do. As with all locations there are pro’s and con’s. Being in a residential area you must expect noise, everyone lives outside, and like all hot countries the local dogs seem to prefer to be active at night time, and the chickens may well give you an early wake up call. St Lucian’s seem to only have one setting when playing music and that is LOUD. It is true that you can manage without a car, but we doubt that you would want to. The walk into Casteries town is down a steep hill, we would not recommend walking back to the villa as the local ‘mini’ buses run frequently and at less than 2$ECD is very cheap. You can walk to the beach and back, but really the walk back up hill negates the enjoyment of the beach. Taxis and buses can get you to every part of the island, for us, a car was a better deal. We felt completely safe in the neighbourhood and Hidden was always on hand with advice, particularly on how to make rum punch. The local mini-market is very good for daily staples. Everyone wants to say hello, it’s a very friendly area, help and advice, all provided. Vigie is the nearest beach, long, sandy, backed by trees. Our afternoons included walking along the beach, then having a swim. We visited beaches on both coasts, resorts like The Landings and Ladera. Villages like Dennery & Soufriere. Rain forests, plantations, restaurants, distilleries, Marigot bay, Rodney bay & Marina, Pigeon Island. Do not miss the Saturday market in Castries, all Caribbean life is here. Sunday afternoons on Vigie beach is fascinating, families gathered for games of football and cricket, BBQ’s, & fun. Our favourite restaurant was Jame De Bois on the water edge, huge portions and 2 4 1 cocktails.

A PLUS FROM US

Honestly I was skeptical and anticipated a scam when I first viewed VRBO and this property mainly because it looked too good to be true. All my concerns were cleared once I did my own research, found the owners on facebook, and called them. A warning though, they live in the UK so my 60 minute conversation with them cost me 180 dollars US. Dylyn and Chris are genuine people and it was a pleasure talking with them. A little about the property. If you are not from the island or don't know it well, you may have some issues finding it at first. It isn't secluded but you'll travel down roads and question the GPS accuracy. We stayed upstairs and the property was absolutely beautiful with the most amazing views. The beds were uncomfortable to us though. However we were grateful because more than likely they were better than most. Cooking was a bit of a challenge. There was one skillet and the other had a broken handle. There wasn't any spices to cook with but we left plenty for the next group. The shower pressure in the main bath is at a trickle whereas the master bathroom shower had plenty. The hot water was very limited but that didn't bother me much. This rental property has a home alarm system. MAKE SURE IT IS WORKING PROPERLY. It wasn't working correctly when we arrived but the owners were quick to get someone to fix it. There is not a TV as seen on the pictures, so if you desire entertainment pack all your passwords and stream off the WiFi, no problems. The views we saw on VRBO are real and breathtaking in person. We saw some of the other rentals while on our drives out and we definitely had the better one. Stay at this one, we were certainly glad we did. If you have valuables as in jewelry and cash do not store it inside your locked car (thinking the car alarm will be enough to detour a thief). In fact DO NOT store anything in your car that you don't want stolen. Our car was broken into on day 2 of our stay. The thief's were smart and disabled the battery then bent the top of the driverside door down low enough to unlock it. The Property Managers, Julie and Kiesha are very nice and were very helpful. They live across the street. Most neighbors have pitbulls as guard dogs so going to a neighbors house for something can be tricky. If you do not have WhatsApp installed on your phone you will need it. We found that is the best way to communicate with them. In summary, this isn't an all inclusive overpriced resort.

Our seven nights stay

The property was exactly as shown on the brochure, Kisha and her mum were very helpful and hospitality. And the options of meals were a bonus.

Beautiful Home and Stunning View

Lots to do in St. Lucia, but we spent most of our time on the veranda. Beautiful view of the sea and marinas. Lots of birds, including the Crested hummingbird and Trembler. Julie made lovely meals. Joel took us to market when we wanted. People on the un-named street were friendly and helpful. Impossible to find the villa without a street contact. We had several issues with the property, but the owners were very responsive and took care of it. We would rent the home again.

Fantastic stay!

We stayed one week and I highly recommend it. The information newsletter from Dylyn was very helpful. I also would recommend having Julie cook you a meal, it was delicious ! There is a convenient store within walking distance if you run out of toilet paper, bottled water or other necessities. And what to say more about the view...simply WOW!!! The only advice I would give ( and has nothing to do with the Villa) is to bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. There are many dogs in the neighborhood and they barked at all hours of the night. I also regretted not bringing my binoculars as it is a great place for bird watching as well. All in all, I highly recommend Villa Frangipani ! Jeff & family

lovely Villa

Property was neat and clean when we arrived. Introduced by manager who was always there when needed. The view from top of the property was amazing. A little far from the actual city centre for us as we were there for Carnival so ended up spending more on travel than intended. however that was due to us not looking at the map well enough. Other than that Villa was great.

We had a fantastic two weeks at the Villa.

Frangipani is a fantastic Villa with lots of natural breeze blowing through. We stayed there for my Daughters wedding.The ceremony was held on the balcony with fabulous views of Vigie Beach and the Castries Harbour in the background.A sunset to die for as we dined for the reception, one can only say but it has to be experienced to enjoy the full beauty. Thank you Dylyn we had a blast

Un endroit merveilleux

Nous avons passĂ© un sĂ©jour formidable dans la villa Frangipani. Cette maison qui allie qualitĂ©, raffinement et propretĂ© irrĂ©prochable est tout simplement parfaite pour passer un sĂ©jour sur l’üle de Sainte-Lucie. PlacĂ©e sur les hauteurs de Castries elle offre une vue Ă  couper le souffle et ce quelque soit la piĂšce dans laquelle vous vous trouvez. L'endroit est un trĂšs bon point de dĂ©part pour partir Ă  la dĂ©couverte de l'Ăźle (attention les routes sont trĂšs mauvaises prĂ©voir un 4x4 pour se rendre dans les anses). Nous avons Ă©tĂ© accueillies de façon trĂšs chaleureuse par les maĂźtres des lieux. Chris, qui parle un français irrĂ©prochable, est toujours prĂȘt Ă  vous rendre service et vous faire dĂ©couvrir les richesses de l'Ăźle : visite du marchĂ©, dĂ©couverte culinaire, et sans jamais s'imposer le tout dans une classe "so british !". Vous aurez Ă©galement la possibilitĂ© d'avoir des repas d'un super rapport qualitĂ© / prix et typiques servis Ă  domicile que vous pourrez dĂ©guster sur la terrasse, toujours avec cette vue imprenable sur la baie de Castries (merci Ă  Julie et Kisha). Pour conclure, si vous voulez dĂ©couvrir Sainte-Lucie, pas de doute c'est Ă  Frangipani qu'il faut se rendre les yeux fermĂ©s. Merci encore Ă  Dylyn et Chris pour leur gentillesse et leur hospitalitĂ©. Julie, Denis, Adeline, Jean-Philippe et Romain.

Qui vous reçoit ?

Vous ĂȘtes reçu par Dylyn Riley Dalton

Cheers! That's me Dylyn, in the picture. I manage the villa which is co-owned by me and other members of my family. Some extended family members who live in St Lucia look after the villa and our guests. My husband (a retired lawyer) and I (retired PA) reside in London, United Kingdom. I love travel, adore entertaining, and strive to be content and happy for myself and for my loved ones.

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?

Because the town of Castries was where I was born and brought up and the villa overlooks this exciting city. Also, the villa is unique! It's the only holiday home I know of on the island, situated in a real St Lucian community where most of the residents happen to be old friends and tight-knit extended relatives. The beautiful Villa Frangipani stands amongst the homes of my lovely kinsfolk, always willing and happy to help each other and our guests. So here on holiday you not only have sun, sea and sand, but you get that extra buzz - a fascinating glimpse into the culture of St Lucia's wonderful people!

Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?

Staying at this gorgeous, wheel-chair friendly villa with probably the most stunning views on the island means that you can bring your family and friends to the best value-for-money holiday home in the entire Caribbean and you won't break the bank! And for wheel-chair users there is a ramp to the entrance, wide doors and corridors, grab-bars and easy to use showers. The villa is central to most places on the island from which you can easily travel to all other destinations either by public transport or by your own hired vehicle. Many guests say that our fantastic panoramic views could have them spending their entire vacation (armed with a cocktail or three) on our spacious veranda. And for me, my husband and family, we all adore our villa Frangipani and think it is the most beautiful place in the world.
