There is a lovely Caribbean Villa on St Lucia which you might well want to consider for a St Lucia vacation instead of an hotel this year. It is called Villa Giorgia, and it has five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and has some lovely West Indian architecture, making it a very attractive place to stay. It sits in well over an acre of parkland like grounds on the Cap Estate, and what you will get here is privacy and luxury, a two swimming pools!!. By the way one pool is large and the other is a splash pool, and what a sight they are at night when the lights were on at night.

There is a lot more to this lovely Caribbean Villa than privacy and luxury, because the whole shape of the house is unusual, and there doesn’t seem to be much of it at first sight, when in fact it is totally deceptively enormous. The colours are a cooling white and grey, and it is so well laid out inside it appears completely uncluttered.

The outside paving is terracotta, and one of the main features is the absolutely enormous verandah, absolutely ideal for chilling out with a glass of rum punch and a good book. Intersperse this with dipping in and out of the pools, and enjoying the grounds. All of this makes Villa Giorgia the perfect spot for the more than perfect St Lucia Holiday. A description that springs to mind because of the comfort is that it is a real home from home

What is included is breakfast and lunch every day apart from Sunday, for which you buy in the groceries and food. Francesca the housekeeper who also cooks divinely is there Monday through Saturday 8.30 am until 1.30pm. Shopping for supplies in the supermarkets at Rodney Bay is quick and easy.

Francesca has everything you want in a housekeeper, for whom nothing is too much trouble, and her smile is constant and is a joy to see. Whatever you do, get her to make a rum punch, they are just out of this world.

You’ll find everything you need here for a perfect St Lucia Holiday, and Villa Giorgia really is a Caribbean Villa you won’t want to leave even to explore the beautiful island that is St Lucia.

Having said that, do rent a car, because the villa is in the ideal position if that is what you want to do.

You’ll get all the advice you need from the team at the villa, and whilst that is their job they do it with smiles, and an openness that is a feature of the inhabitants of this glorious island.

You should if you decide to explore, go to Pigeon Island, visit the lovely beaches, and you will find a great selection of good restaurants around Rodney Bay. Go to the sulphur springs and coat yourself in the mud, go to the mineral baths at Diamond Falls, visit the Botanical Gardens, and the rainforest. One highlight not to be missed is visiting the dolphins, and have the experience of seeing them playing and leaping beside the boat.

There is much to see, do, take part in, always surrounded by smiling faces and friendliness, and then there is the lovely Villa Giorgia to return to. It must be classed as a top Caribbean Villa, although very low key. If you stay at the Villa Giorgia then you can be guaranteed a top St Lucia Vacation.
