Villa de lune de miel privée avec vue sur les Caraïbes et les Piton Mountains, service complet

The villa is set on a hillside with a direct, unobstructed view of the Pitons and the sea. The outdoor seating areas are expansive and arranged over three decks. The main bedroom has a small, open deck. The main floor has a covered seating and dining area, and an open seating area which is perfect for watching the amazing sunsets. The lower pool level has an area for sun beds and a covered area which can be used for al fresco massages. The view is stunning and postcard-worthy. We couldn’t stop taking photos!

The staff are also amazing. Lion is the perfect driver and knowledgeable tour guide and makes a mean fish broth. Make sure you spend a day touring with him. Eddie keeps the garden and pool area immaculate. Glenda keeps the villa spotless. She cooked for us one evening and made a 4 course extravaganza of local delights such as pumpkin soup, salad with garlic dressing, breadfruit balls, christophene au gratin, stewed chicken, dashene and sweet potato and of course the national dish, green fig salted codfish. Dessert was banana flambé. Of all the meals we ate during our stay, we enjoyed the meals that Glenda and Lion made the most. Charlene was also very active and informative when it came to planning and booking local activities.

We came for our 30th wedding anniversary and renewed our vows on Anse Mamin beach. This was the perfect day organized by the staff at Anse Chastanet Resort. Burns the photographer was awesome.

We also enjoyed the Sulphur Springs, Lion’s ‘power shower’ at Touraille Waterfall, a tour of Diamond Head Botanical Garden, and a creole buffet lunch at the outdoor picturesque Fond Doux Plantation.

We stayed local but left many activities undone so that we could return to the villa in the near future.

This charming villa and the people who come with it are fantastic. Charlene ( property manager ) was at the ready to help with anything from

Pre-stocking kitchen to making our reservations. Her knowledge of the island was extremely helpful when planning out daily excursions. Waking up to Glenda’s warm hello and delicious breakfast was a great start to our day and the villa was always spotless ! Lion, driver and cook, took us to the fish market on arrival and whipped up a delicious supper. We highly recommend taking advantage of this opportunity. He is an excellent guide and his dinners involved a real local flare and knowledge we would have missed if we went at it alone.

The villa was perfect for our family of 4. We took advantage of all Soufrière had to offer and Hermitage Jewel is perfectly situated to do so. One of our best vacations hands down!

We were two couples who stayed one week in early March. We have stayed on many different islands, but never this far away from the ocean. Lion met us at the airport and stopped for fish and groceries (as previous reviews mention) and returned to prepare dinner a few days later. We had enough for leftovers several nights. We didn’t venture far for dinners out because of the poor road conditions and amount of time that it took to get anywhere. We had one dinner at Boucan (Hotel Chocolat) and one at Dasheene (Ladera). Both were lovely settings. The views from the villa were magnificent although as stated, we were much further away from the beach than we expected. Lion did drive us to Anse Chastanet beach one day but the road was very treacherous and full of pot holes and took awhile to get there. The villa was charming but more rustic than expected. Birds flew in and out of the kitchen landing on dishes and food and geckos scurried across the floors and climbed the walls in downstairs bedroom and bathrooms. Mosquito netting on beds was much appreciated. The water pressure in all 3 showers was terrible! We tried them all to see if one was better, but they were all bad. Glenda was one of the best aspects of the villa. She prepared delicious breakfasts and did the daily housekeeping. The pool was nice for cooling off , however the ladder needed a lower step as it was difficult to climb out of the pool. All in all, it was a relaxing trip but not our favorite Caribbean experience.

Our week was an awesome experience from the moment we got picked up from the airport by Lion until he dropped us off a week later. I could repeat everything that has already been said about the Villa itself in other reviews, but really no need. It is all true. The view from the back deck is breath taking from morning to night. That said, the whole island is beautiful. The villa is well appointed and had everything we needed to prepare our meals. Eddie the groundskeeper is very pleasant and keeps the grounds looking like a small tropical paradise. The pool was useful for an occasional dip to cool off from any sunbathing. The villa is very private, despite a non visible villa on each side of it. The temps were always comfortable in the 70's to 80's with a nice breeze. There were no bugs the whole week, neither in the villa or on our outings. Don't be afraid to use the real charcoal grill out back if you like to grill outside. Eddie was eager to pick up real charcoal for us, and insisted on cleaning it after each use. Lion the driver really made our trip enjoyable. He has a lot of connections throughout the island and always made us feel comfortable wherever we went. He is very fond of St. Lucia and loves to share the culture with you. He would take the back roads sometimes to destinations to point out all of the different farming areas, crops, fruit and nut trees(of which there are MANY ) Don't pass up on the opportunity to have him stop and get some fresh fish from the fishing village on way back from drive from the airport pickup. He helped us pick up a Mahi Mahi right off the little fishing boat as it came to the dock. They filleted it for a reasonable tip. Lion insisted on prepping it when we arrived at the villa with local marinade and spices we picked up with groceries obtained on the way to villa. We had several evening meals from that one fish. Although we enjoyed every outing with Lion, we also tried out the local "bus" (big vans) system just for the experience. It is only ~$1 US to travel into Souffrie after walking from villa to bus stop at bottom of the hill( ~ 10 minutes). You can walk to the sulfur springs from the villa ~ 15 minutes, some steep hills.

Glenda the housekeeper was delightful every morning. She preps amazing BF's with local fruit. She kept the place spotless. Also full of island knowledge. Running out of room, bottom line- loved everything; villa, location, outings, all staff(including Charlene and Kate)!

We travel a lot and this has got to be one of the very best homes we have stayed at. We were greeted at the airport by a driver who took us to the villa and through the week took us to beaches and one day to a nearby town for market and helped us buy local fish and herbs. then he spent an hour or so at the villa preparing the fish and marinade and explaining the whole process. we ate as St Lucians for 2 days on that treasure. The property manager checked in on us several times and visited to ensure everything about our stay was working smoothly. Eddie the gardener was there virtually every day cleaning the pool and grounds, and he always had a joke and a pleasant greeting. Our housekeeper Glenda came 6 days per week and prepared a gourmet breakfast with excellent local coffee and fruits. She always had a smile, kept the villa spotless and was a wealth of information about the local attractions. The home itself was magnificent. Made of stone and beautiful wooden doors with a spectacular view of the Pitons and Sugar Beach. Quite simply a perfect vacation spot.
