About this property

🌴La Batterie Villa • Beautiful Boutique Island Villa with Breathtaking Views 🌴

La Batterie Villa is a COVID-19 certified property and an approved accommodation from the government of Saint Lucia. Please check with us for current protocols for the villa and for the island before booking your stay.

Tucked away in the exclusive Anse Chastanet / Jade Mountain area of Soufriere, La Batterie villa offers complete privacy. You will find your escape at this luxury villa surrounded by lush gardens, a tropical swimming pool with accompanying cabana, lily pond and spacious decks. Located 300 feet above the Caribbean Sea facing the infamous Pitons there is no shortage of breathtaking views, cool island breezes and awe.

Moving inside, the villa is constructed of native stone along with teak and mahogany woods. Built in traditional Caribbean construction, the house has louvered plantation style doors that open to take full advantage of its abundant natural and tropical landscape.

The house has three bedrooms each with king sized beds and en suite washroom to allow guests maximum privacy and can comfortably sleep a group of six. Each bedroom has its own lounging patio along with wardrobe closets. The master bedroom overlooks the Caribbean Sea while the two other bedrooms overlook the villa gardens. These two rooms can be made with single beds if requested in advance.

Additionally, the villa has a loft over the living room that can be used to sleep two however we would recommend that they be in their teenage years to allow maximum comfort. In addition to the three bedrooms, the house provides areas for group gathering and entertainment such as the elegant terra cotta living and dining rooms which face the sea. The living room opens up to a 40 foot open teak deck that highlights the beauty of the Pitons where guests can enjoy the breeze while watching the boats pass by. The dining room offers a table that seats a party of six and is a great spot for enjoying amazing Caribbean dinners that can be requested through the house cook, Stephanie, for a nominal fee. For a change of scenery, breakfast can be enjoyed down by the cabana where a table setting allows you to ease into your day while listening to the waterfall hit the pool.

The villa is fully staffed with (2) housekeepers, gardener, pool man and night time security, all of these services are also included in the rental price As for the cooking, should you choose to stay close to the villa on some nights (or all) we do have a cook that is available at the villa. Stephanie is our cook and makes amazing meals. She works with guests to set a menu based on their preferences and can make traditional St Lucian meals or American / European meals with a creole twist. Her meals are one of the things we miss most when we're not on the island. Stephanie's meal preparation fee is $12 USD for breakfast and $20 USD for lunch or dinner, plus the cost of any ingredients which again can be arranged for the staff to purchase on their way up to the villa each day. It should be noted that the meal prep fee is based per meal and not per person.

The Premises are equipped with exterior security cameras. Cameras are installed for the purposes of additional security during times the property is not occupied by guests. All cameras are located on the outside of the villa and directed at entry access points to the property (wall, front gate, side gate, pathway). No cameras are located in common areas (decks, pool) or inside the villa itself or have any view inside the villa or common areas. Cameras are not monitored during guest occupancy and recordings are only viewed for staff timekeeping verification, weather events, or reported incidents.


Words could never properly prepare you for the beauty that is Saint Lucia – come experience La Batterie and elevate your vacation to the next level!

Dream Come True
This was truly a dream come true vacation for our family. My husband and I had been to St Lucia many years ago and wanted to return to share its beauty with our family. This spectacular villa provided the perfect opportunity. The views of the Pitons are stunning, and the home and grounds are just beautiful. We also really appreciated the staff at La Batterie. They were warm and welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful, never obtrusive, always professional. Our family enjoyed Stephanie and Bibi's delicious meals, Terry’s coffee and rain forest hike, diving, snorkeling, birding and other fun tours Clavie took us to on the island. Mike and Jennifer also did an excellent job providing information and answering all our questions in advance of the trip. We are truly grateful for the wonderful time we shared here and we all hope to return one day!

Location, Location, Location and a Great Staff
The villa is situated high up on a steep slope with an unsurpassed view of the Pitons. It also means that walking anywhere is only for those whose fitness levels are above average. There were many nice surprises. Stephanie's cooking was top notch, and she prepared something different for us on five nights. It was plenty of food for our adult family of five, and we even had some leftovers. The electric outlets are both US & UK style. The salt water pool with its water lounging area is great. There were plenty of lounge chairs and an umbrella, but be sure to lay a towel down on the chair first because they get very hot when exposed to the sun. It is a 15 minute walk (0.6 miles) to the beach at Anse Chastanet where you will find great snorkeling. Terry is a gem, and he taught us so much about the local flora. He will roast St. Lucian coffee for you and take you on a 3 hour hike to the rain forest. The owners of the rain forest property, Grand Eden Estate, allow Terry to bring visitors for a fee. It's a moderately difficult hike mostly because of the steep stairs and muddy conditions. The views are great, and Terry was the perfect guide. Stephanie arranged several tours for our family, but the highlight was Teddy & Graham (I am not making that up) from Sugar Boat Tours bringing us on a 7 hour speed boat tour of the island. It was pricey, but we all agreed that it was the best day we had as a family. The downside surprises were mostly because of our expectations. There is no air conditioning, and we had no breeze during our visit, so it was uncomfortably hot for us. A cool shower before bed helped a lot. The villa's louvered doors don't have screens, so if you keep the lights on in the evening (after 6:30), the bugs will let you know the error of your ways! The one thing we really wished we had known beforehand was the amount of cash to bring. This is a mostly cash area with the exception of some of the tourist excursions. We found that EC$ were more beneficial that US$. Taxis are all paid in cash, and the prices were inconsistent for the same trip. Damien was an excellent driver, navigating the treacherous roads with ease and offering advice during our visit. If the driver needs to stay and wait for you, that is also part of the fare. To avoid running out of cash, plan on $300.00 US per day for groceries/dinner at the villa & taxi rides for 5 people. We felt safe and welcomed at La Batterie Villa and hope to return.

Incredible!
To say our stay was incredible is an understatement. We were a group of 3 couples so the layout of the property was perfect for our needs. It's hard to say much more than what others have already stated... views were outstanding, property was accurately depicted in the listing but the staff is what makes the experience over the top. We were initially a little leery of having onsite staff but this quickly went away as every one of them were amazing. Stephanie was a joy to be around and as others mentioned is great cook! We all agreed her food was miles better than any of the (very expensive) restaurants in the area. Bibi was always in the background keeping everything nice and tidy. Terry was always fun to joke around with and BK was right on time every night. Most evening we invited him in to make a plate and hang out with us for a few minutes. Clavie was always a few minutes early to pick us up wherever we were going and his pricing was less than I would expect for a group of 6. Some have mentioned walking down to the beach, we all had Clavie drive us down and back up as it was only a couple bucks each. All in all, this was one of the best experiences and we wouldn't hesitate to do it all again! 5 stars all the way around!

Best Family Vaca Ever
My husband and our 14-yr old twins spent a week at La Batterie and there not enough wonderful things we could say about our experience. The property was amazingly beautiful! The staff was so kind that we felt like they were part of our family by the time we left. In summary, a month later, our week at La Batterie Villa was like a dream:-). We would recommend this property to anyone!

Open Air, Grand Views, Exceptional Service
(our second stay) From the first step onto the property... we were welcomed by staff, amenities and ridiculous views. Attention to detail everywhere... the grounds with pool, terraces, hammocks, rain forest rich landscapes and wandering paths were unforgettable. The house was interesting and unique with impressive architecture. The balcony overlooking the pitons was so special for magical sunsets. The staff was second to none. With Beebee quietly making every corner immaculate, Stephanie's fabulous creole cooking and wonderful laugh, Terry's quiet care of the grounds and roasted coffees.... and the special watchful eye of BK at night... we can't believe how blessed we were to be part of this world. We will miss them all dearly... We thank them all for their generous care. Mike and Jen... you too were so easy to work with as owners/hosts. Navigating through covid protocol was made doable by you! God willing.. we will return. Our very best, The Scotts
