Amazing trip. Villa is perfectly acquainted. Vicky is amazing and ensures no stone is left unturned.
Will return to this island and this Villa. Stunning views!
We had a fantastic stay in this property with our family group of 6 adults. The space was perfect for our group, providing plenty of room and comfort. The location was ideal, with three beautiful beaches just 15 minutes or less away. The patio and pool get plenty of sun and the porch offers shade, and a trade winds breeze also makes being outside all hours very comfortable. Communication from the host and property manager was excellent throughout, making check-in and our stay seamless. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the NFL playoffs were available on the local cable packageâan unexpected treat for our destination! The property was well-kept, and the daily cleaning service was a nice touch, keeping everything fresh and tidy. We would definitely return again!
Awesome spot, great people. Extremely pleasant experience
The property was beautiful and very well maintained. The view was amazing and the people were extremely friendly and helpful. We loved our experience and hated to leave. Thank you to all
Clean and comfortable home with great communication from owner if anything is needed. The views in just about every room are spectacular! Vicky made us a delicious meal. Sitting by the pool couldnât have been nicer. The week went by too fast!
Our group of 4 couples thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Ivrea during our week in paradise. The home was well sticked, comfortable and roomy with enough space for 8 of us to lounge around and also have privacy. Vicky was fabulous and the meal she made for us was delicious. The view from the pool was just stunning and where we spent most of our time. Victor drove us all around and was available every time we called him which was super convenient. Owner met us at check-in to show us around and answer questions was also there to say goodbye when we left. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We hated to leave paradise and look forward to returning one day soon.
Great experience with good communication. The house manager was exceptionally helpful. Master bedroom was extremely warm And we could not control the thermostat. That is and was the only downside. It was 75-78 degrees at night in the master and not very comfortable. The location and view is amazing. Claudette was extremely helpful before and during the stay. A big thanks to all
Beautiful location for a peaceful and relaxing vacation!
The Villa was beautiful and the views of the Caribbean Sea AMAZING! It was a perfect place to get away for some sunshine and warmth in the middle of the US winter. Bertha and Claudette were great. Bertha even cooked us a traditional meal of Green Bananas and Salt Fish for lunch one day ... which was delicious!! Junior was also a great resource to help get us to/from the Villa as we needed for dinners and day trips. His son Eversly also requested to ride along to pick us up on numerous occasions which we found very flattering! I would strongly recommend Junior for your taxi needs (758-484-9037). A day trip to the southern portion of the island with a stop at Plas Kassav (for cassava bread), scenic views of the Pitons, Diamond Botanical Gardens, and a mud bath at Sulphur Springs are also a recommendation. Sunset dinner at Spinnaker's in Rodney Bay too!
Our only negative was the beeping of the alarm system, which sounded nearly ever minute when it was not armed. It was a bit of annoyance but thankfully the peace of the location otherwise helped to distract us.
We will definitely consider returning to St. Lucia and Villa Ivrea!

Beautiful villa
We stayed June 13th through the 20th 2013 The villa and setting was more beautiful than portrayed on line. Bertha is a very nice lady and did a great job. We made it very easy on her and never made her cook. She probably earned her money just cleaning up behind us. One day we talked about climbing the Pitons and Bertha looked at us like we were losing our minds. After climbing to the top of Gros Piton, I could see why Bertha gave us that look. It was a great accomplishment but I don't have any desire to do it again.
Rodney Bay was a short drive away where we caught a catamaran down to Soufriere for the volcano tour, zip lining, snorkeling, great sight seeing and of course, rum punch.
The restaurant choices in and around Rodney Bay were outstanding.
We found the people of St Lucia friendly but had a hard time deciding which were the hucksters and which were the people trying to help you. The island is just beautiful with rain forests, waterfalls, and beaches. It offers a little of everything for any interests anyone wants to explore. It will also sharpen your driving skills if you rent a car, especially on the drive to Soufriere. My daughter in law had her eyes shut most of the way down there. After the drive back into the Piton hike she decided that the main road was like a super highway.
Thank you for opening up your beautiful home to us. It was outstanding

Our family of 6 stayed here for 7 days. Space was sufficient for 6. The location, pool, and view are stunning. Lovely gardens, fruit trees, and outdoor grounds are well maintained. We tried to use the grill and found it didn't work. Seemed to not have a gas source. Inside the house the architecture and artwork is impressive. Cabinets are well stocked with everything you need to prepare food and host a group of people. We noted some minor maintenance items in need of attention, which we communicated to the property manager, but nothing you wouldn't encounter on any property. Overall the property was ideal for the trip we wanted to have, providing us with privacy but access to easily get into Rodney Bay and Gros Islet. I would book here again.
This villa was the perfect setup for our large family with teens and young adults. The home was ideally architected to provide a gathering place that included kitchen, family room, deck and pool area in one continuous open space that accentuated the awesome view from high atop a hill overlooking the Atlantic ocean. Claudette, the property manager was quick to help with any question or need we had. Vicky, the cook/housekeeper, was a welcome addition with laundry, dishes, and meals which allowed us to relax. We would definitely recommend this property to friends and stay here again should the opportunity arise.
I came to St. Lucia with my three grown children and two spouses to celebrate my 70th birthday. It couldn't have been a more wonderful location for us! The Villa is spectacular, and the welcome from Claudette the property manager and Vicky, the cook/housekeeper was sincere and warm. The villa has so much room for all of us to gather, but also plenty of areas where we can quietly go to read or rest. The location was beautifully secluded to make us feel we were not really tourists. The VRBO photos don't even give the full effect of the beauty of this place! Would highly recommend to anyone! Thank you!
The owner was really prompt to answer any questions Vicki the chef, house keeper , and host was outstanding and we also had Earnest our driver for everywhere which was also the best
This was the most peaceful, relaxing vacation we have ever had. The house and grounds were beautiful and the owner and housekeeper were both so lovely and went out of their way to make sure we had a great stay. If you want to disconnect from the rest of the world and recharge with beautiful views, THIS is the place to do it!
This property was exactly the way it's listed online. Ive Rented plenty of properties using home away and some properties exaggerated a little bit. Miss Bertha did a absolute wonderful job as the house maid. And that Creole chicken and rice and plantains and potatoes that she cooked us for lunch was delicious. Everyone was drinking the Creole sauce like it was soda. The views from the house and the pool were amazing. And I also love the fact that we were closer to town but also away from town. It was so peaceful. I do recommend having a rental. One night we tried calling a taxi and the one guy was on the other side of the island and the number to another guy he gave us didn't know how to get to the villa. Everyone kept asking me how to get to the Villa as if Im from St Lucia. I gave perfect directions from the golf course to the villas and they still had no clue what I was talking about.
There was only two complaints that we had. We asked that the two King beds be broken down to two single beds. That did not happen but everyone was fine with the arrangement so we didn't make a big deal out of it. Also, the TV in the cottage did not work. I didn't really care because I don't really watch TV while on vacation.
we plan to revisit the island in about 3 years. More than likely we will rebook cap estate.
The Villa is even better than the pictures suggest. It was spacious, and reasonably well-equipped (for a rental property). Plenty of beach towels and pool towels supplied. And the views were absolutely amazing. A vehicle seems necessary to get to beaches, restaurants and grocery stores. We had an amazing day on a speed boat charter out of the Rodney Bay marina.
Villa Ivrea is a very stately home. As opposed to some Caribbean villas we've stayed in, it was very comfortable. It is located in a very quiet neighborhood, and has a magnificent view of St. Lucia Passage. The property manager and staff were extremely attentive to our needs, and the owners looked to our comfort through VRBO contact messaging to ensure our needs were met.
Our week was wonderfully relaxing in this beautiful home. The first floor living space was very comfortable but admittedly we spent most of our stay on the porch overlooking the pool, the flowers and the Caribbean. It was very warm in October so we were able to open the doors and windows allowing the sea breezes to flow through the house. At night, we retreated to our air conditioned bedrooms.
As five women, we prepared our own meals whenever we ate in but Berta was always there to help out whenever we had a question or needed something. So, from the moment that Claudette (the property manager) greeted us to Victor (our amazing taxi driver) dropping us off at the airport, we felt totally pampered. And as a major highlight, Lisa prepared a celebratory feast for us on our last night in St. Lucia.
This was the best property Iâve ever stayed! The views are breath taking. Itâs located away from mainstream, yet close enough to multiple grocery stores and shopping.
I can not say enough about this property. Picturesque, again, beautiful scenery, clean and secluded. I will definitely be back and stay here!
