Villa Frangipani, a beautiful place to stay in St Lucia - wheel-chair friendly

A simple and unique 3-bedroom holiday home in a stunningly gorgeous ecological location overlooking the city, which is only 5 minutes away by transport or half-an-hour walk. Big, beautiful, and set amongst flowering plants and tropical fruit trees in one acre of lush hillside (a hot spot for bird watching!), you’re unlikely to find a villa with more spectacular views. Our place is not situated in a tourist resort, there's no pool, but our holiday home has loads more to offer. It's the largest and best value-for-money villa on the island! It sleeps six in comfort - but is just as cozy for two. Get a taste of real St Lucian community life here. In several homes nearby live extended family of the villa’s owner, so there is no shortage of thoughtful attention! Julie, part of the owner's extended family and manager of the villa, comes from a long line of superb cooks, and her wicked West Indian rum punch will have you panting for more! She will delight you with delicious creole dishes and fabulous cocktails on the veranda as the sun goes down over the Caribbean Sea. Sheer magic!
Situated on a hill, the villa attracts every cross current of cool air so there is no need for air conditioning, but each bedroom is equipped with an electric fan and each bed has a net. The spacious master bedroom (17ft x 14ft) has a king-size bed, plus a folded single bed for a third person. (This small bed is usually put away until needed). There are two further double bedrooms measuring 12ft x 12ft, one with a double bed, and the other with two single beds. There are two bathrooms, one en-suite to the master bedroom and one between the double bedrooms, showers only. There is also a wooden enclosed shower in the garden. The huge living room (25ft x 25ft) has a breakfast bar and is furnished with two four-seater settees, two matching armchairs, and other comfortable seating, and there are pretty patterned straw mats on the stained wooden floor.
There is a smart TV with cable and a free internet connection. The living room opens out onto a magnificent veranda, a huge 15 ft x 44 ft size, with the most wonderful of views. Our view is second to none on the island and the reviews of some guests reveal that they could have spent all day on our veranda (armed with a cocktail or three!) admiring our breathtaking view. Sorry to go on about this, but our view over the sea and city is as stunning during the day as it is at night-time.
The dining room on the veranda has a solid round pine table with 8 chairs, but can easily seat up to 12 guests. Our veranda also has a Mexican hammock, two teak loungers, and a rocking chair for further relaxation and comfort.
The kitchen comes equipped with a large American refrigerator, microwave, oven, and all you'll need for self-catering. (But if you want our splendid chef Julie to prepare your evening meal(s), all you do is ask her!).
There is a spacious utility room with a washing machine, electric iron, and other useful amenities. Bedclothes are changed once a week, and towels when you want them. The villa is thoroughly cleaned before you arrive.
There is no pool. But St Lucia has the most wonderful beaches! The nearest beach you see from the villa is only 5 minutes away by transport, or half an hour's walk. All the neighbours have gardens where they grow fruit and vegetables, some keep chickens, a sheep, or a goat or two. Eco-tourism here is at its friendliest - you can choose the best of both worlds - sand and sea, and also a glimpse into the culture of St Lucia's most charming people.

This villa offers its guests a water park. This villa also features barbecue grills and a garden.

Smoking is allowed in designated areas at this Castries villa.
