When we booked, we tried hard to find exactly what we wanted, as always, and this really was that. It's not easy to find Villas in the Caribbean with full air conditioning and a pool, but this has both. It's been through some considerable renovations and they have enhanced the property. Driving there is a little challenging, the roads aren't the best but we hired a Jimny and ended up really enjoying the trips out. Marigot bay itself has a number of places to eat, and although they are all in resorts, it's possible to eat there without being a gust of the resorts. On the hill, The Villa restaurant was a revelation and has to be tried, we went there twice and enjoyed the tasting menu both times. The staff looking after the Villa are lovely and we felt very well looked after. They also understood that we value our privacy on holiday and accommodated that. Will, the property manager also looked after us really well. The only slight negative is that someone has written a blog about the secret little cove below the villa, and it's no longer a secret.. however, that did not spoil our enjoyment of this great Villa.
