À propos de cet hébergement

Frangipani – un endroit magnifique à découvrir Sainte Lucie

  • Villa de vacances unique, dans un endroit extraordinaire, écologique, surplombant la capitale. Grande, superbe, sur un demi-hectare de végétation luxuriante, de plantes et d’arbres fruitiers tropicaux, sur les flancs d’une colline à l'est de Castries ; vous ne trouverez pas de villa avec une vue plus spectaculaire ! Ce n’est pas une résidence de touristique typique, il n’y a pas de piscine, mais c’est la plus grande villa de l'île et le meilleur rapport qualité prix. Accueille confortablement 6 personnes mais elle est tout aussi chaleureuse pour 2. Notre gardien (un cuisinier à la retraite) vit de l’autre côté de la route avec sa famille nombreuse, vous ne manquerez donc jamais de baby-sitter ! 'Gabo' est réputé pour sa cuisine très raffinée et ses punchs avec un rhum antillais extrêmement fort. Venez déguster les délicieux plats créoles et les fabuleux cocktails sous la véranda en admirant le coucher de soleil sur la mer des Caraïbes. Venez vivre ce rêve !

    Située sur une colline, la villa est le point de rencontre de tous les courants d'air et n'a donc pas besoin de climatisation. La grande chambre principale (5 x 4m) a un lit extra large et un lit pliant robuste pour une troisième personne. 2 autres chambres doubles (3,5 x 3,5), 1 avec un lit double et l'autre avec 2 lits simples. 2 salles de bains dont une attenante à la chambre principale et l'autre se situant entre les 2 chambres doubles. Vous trouverez également une cabine de douche en bois dans le jardin. Le grand salon (7,5 x 7,5) se compose d'un comptoir à petit déjeuner et de 2 canapés 4 places, 2 fauteuils identiques et d'autres meubles confortables. Sur le parquet vernis, se trouvent de petits tapis avec un joli motif de fraises.

    Télévision avec câble, radio, stéréo, et téléphone. Le salon donne sur une magnifique véranda (5 x 14,5 m) avec une vue panoramique à couper le souffle. La véranda comporte une solide table ronde en pin qui peut accueillir un maximum de 12 personnes, un hamac mexicain, 2 chaises longues en teck et 2 fauteuils à bascule pour plus de détente et de confort. La cuisine est entièrement équipée avec un grand réfrigérateur américain, micro-ondes, four, et tout ce qu’il faut pour préparer vos repas vous-même. (Mais si vous voulez que notre très bon cuisinier vous prépare vos repas, vous pouvez le lui demander !).
    Une spacieuse buanderie comporte lave-linge, fer à repasser électrique, et autres appareils utiles. Les draps sont changés une fois par semaine, et les serviettes quand vous le désirez. Le ménage est fait une fois par semaine.


    Il n'y a pas de piscine. Tous les voisins ont des jardins dans lesquels ils font pousser des arbres fruitiers et des légumes. Quelques-uns ont des poules, 1 mouton, une chèvre ou 2. Le tourisme écologique est on ne peut plus chaleureux - vous pouvez avec le meilleur des 2 mondes - le sable et la mer, et la découverte de la culture de Ste Lucie et de ses charmants habitants.

Birds eye view!

There is no place more adventurous and stunning to stay at when visiting St. Lucia. Experiencing awakening in the early morning and having breakfast in the veranda with a birds-eye-view of a large part of the south-eastern side of St. Lucia, ..... UNFORGETABLE. "...... staying elsewhere, there is your CC, ..... experiencing Frangipani ...... PRICELESS.

Dylyn and Chris couldn’t have possibly been better or any more helpful. Whenever we had any issues, they were right on it. We feel like we’ve made friends for life. The home is lovely and well kept, inside and out. I’d come back here in a minute. Love it here in St Lucia and a Villa Frangipani!

A Month in St Lucia

We chose to stay in a home away from the resorts to experience the island like a native. This goal was met. The neiborhood is very friendly everyone was very helpful. We felt safe and welcome. Our biggest challenge was the steep roads and driving.our group was 70 plus so the walking was difficult and as us drivers it was too difficult to rent a car. Luckily we were introduced to Tall Who picked us up at the airport and drove us almost daily to the beach , and various shopping and restaurants. The house is a elegant Villa with a beautiful View of the harbor. We enjoyed the sea breezes and felt very comfortable during our stay

Frangipani 🎉🎊🏅🥇🌟

Frangipani, what can I say that will justify it. The villa is fabulous, the views from the wrap around veranda are absolutely breathtaking and outstanding. It was a regular morning routine to watch the cruise ships sailing into the Castries port from the veranda. The sunsets are spectacular, depending on the weather, however extremely beautiful. Vincent who picked us up from the airport, was invaluable and the service was second to none. He enabled our party to travel the island and experience the real St Lucia, which is lush, green and exceptionally beautiful. I highly recommend this property and I will be coming back to St Lucia and Frangipani will be my first choice to stay at.

Fantastic stay!

We stayed one week and I highly recommend it. The information newsletter from Dylyn was very helpful. I also would recommend having Julie cook you a meal, it was delicious ! There is a convenient store within walking distance if you run out of toilet paper, bottled water or other necessities. And what to say more about the view...simply WOW!!! The only advice I would give ( and has nothing to do with the Villa) is to bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. There are many dogs in the neighborhood and they barked at all hours of the night. I also regretted not bringing my binoculars as it is a great place for bird watching as well. All in all, I highly recommend Villa Frangipani ! Jeff & family

Exactly as advertised

This house is exactly as advertised, and we loved our stay! That porch and the shutter-style construction are really special. We enjoyed non stop island breezes.We travel with a narrow manual wheelchair, and the home was very comfortable. The front entrance has a ramp with about one inch rise at the front door. There are no steps or thresholds through the entire space. The master bath has a solid wooden grab bar and works for a standing transfer. The shower has a low step in but no bench. It met our needs.The host family was incredibly responsive to a few questions we had throughout our week. We shopped regularly at a Massey market about a 5-10 minute drive down the hill. (Driving in the neighborhood is no joke! I recommend getting the insurance for your rental car. We had a tire blow.)We enjoyed two wonderful home cooked meals from Kisha’s family. They were hearty and flavorful and a memorable part of our stay.We loved our stay here!

Beautiful View, Loved the House---Stayed 3 Weeks

All I can say is WOW!!! Frangipani Villa is very spacious!!! The view, the airiness about the Villa was just WOW!!! There was no need for air conditioning!!! The Balcony is to die for!!! The Property Managers, Julie and her daughter Kisha were just the BEST!!! They were really helpful. Julie is a superb cook... I enjoyed having breakfast on the Balcony. I was born on St. Lucia but left as a little girl, so I appreciate the house, the view of Vigie Beach and Airport and the beautiful Sunsets. I also appreciated the location.. Close enough to everything but far away to prevent my huge family from just dropping by and disturbing my peace and relaxation!!! Lol!!! The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors were very friendly!! I would definitely stay here again.

House with a view!

A breathtaking view from the house but very had to locate the house. The gps does not pick up well on the hill which create problems if you are relying on it. The house do not have AC which is a negative thing and get very dusty since you need to keep all windows open to cool the house down. They do have a standing fan in each room. In my opinion its is still hot at night. The hot water comes and go since it is on solar. The washing machine do not wash the clothes clean and leave residue on it. No dryer so you hang dry eveything. The neigbours are friendly. Its a beautiful home but i would not recommend it. Btw, keisha, the woman who over sees the house is very responsive. Dusty

A Beautiful Hillside Retreat

Having previously stayed at Frangipani back in 1998 we couldn't wait for the plane to land, leave the tourists behind and be picked up by our dear friend Mr Johnson. Frangipani is the ideal destination to chill out and unwind (or party if the mood takes you) and we knew just what was waiting for us at the top of the morn - a home from home!! Everything you could need is there, but what you don't have back home is that fantastic deck area with the awesome views of Castries. You can never tire of sitting out there (or lying in the hammock - I still haven't quite mastered the knack of getting in and out, I obviously need more practice!!!), from the moment you wake up til the time you roll into bed, you will always spot something that you haven't noticed before!! The villa is lovely and airy with small birds as built-in pets, and if you leave your bananas uncovered they will definitely have a party!! Make sure you head on down to Vigie, a beautiful stretch of beach which is relatively unspoilt and used by the locals. We made very special friends on this visit, a young lad called Imran, who was happy to chat with us and very soon returned to the beach with his brother and sister. We spent many an hour playing cricket, the kids supplied the tennis ball, and the bat and the stumps were made from whatever we could find on the beach that day - I don't think we've ever had such fun and the children were an absolute joy. The bonus for us was that by the end of our fortnight we had taught the sister (Ghia) how to swim!!!! Visiting Frangipani is a taste of the real Caribbean; you interact with the local people who are without doubt the most friendly, helpful and fun people you could ever wish to meet. You will take away with you memories that will last you a lifetime. Villa Frangipani is exactly what is says on the tin, we can't wait to visit again!!!

Fond Memories of St Lucia

Only our first time in St Lucia but we're already hooked and thinking of our return to this magical island. Everything worked for us - people, scenery, beaches, food. We like to mix relaxation with activity on vacation and this is easily achieved with so many great beaches and sights within easy reach. Of course, when you're out there exploring and sampling the island delights it helps to have a good base to return to at night. Villa ' Frangipani ' fits this bill very nicely. It's spacious and comfortable and has the most wonderful position up on a hill overlooking Castries and its natural harbour. It has the usual features you'd expect from quality accommodation of this type but what makes truly memorable is its large living room leading to an outside, covered veranda from which you can see the whole panorama of the Castries port and coastline. An abiding memory of our stay here is sitting on the veranda with a cooling drink in hand watching those awesome sunsets. What makes the island interesting is the sheer variety of landscapes and vegetation from jungle to plains to mountainous rainforests and, of course, so many fine and secluded beaches. Blessed with an ideal climate for growing all manner of foods including delicious tropical fruits, we have to mention how well we ate during our time here - and drank too since all those typical Caribbean concoctions are produced locally. Good restaurants too with a strong recommendation for a visit to the Green Parrot - memorable eating and an equal memorable owner and chef. We hired a Jeep and toured the island and were impressed by the dramatic views on all sides. We will not forget to Soufrieres, for example. A stop at Anse la Raye for a morning coffe - a tradtional fishing village - then for cocktails at the Ladera Resorts with ist stunning outlook to the twin Pitons followed by a visit to the nearby volcanic crater and its active hot springs where we literally took the plunge and had a mud bath. And then to conclude our visit a cooling swim from the beach set between the Pitons. We must have covered most of the island during our time here and, along the way, we met most of the population or so it seemed and were impressed by their hospitality, friendliness and good humour. This is an educated and switched on people and ready to engage you on any topic under the sun. On reflection, this was perhaps the element which made our vacation so enjoyable.

Un endroit merveilleux

Nous avons passé un séjour formidable dans la villa Frangipani. Cette maison qui allie qualité, raffinement et propreté irréprochable est tout simplement parfaite pour passer un séjour sur l’île de Sainte-Lucie. Placée sur les hauteurs de Castries elle offre une vue à couper le souffle et ce quelque soit la pièce dans laquelle vous vous trouvez. L'endroit est un très bon point de départ pour partir à la découverte de l'île (attention les routes sont très mauvaises prévoir un 4x4 pour se rendre dans les anses). Nous avons été accueillies de façon très chaleureuse par les maîtres des lieux. Chris, qui parle un français irréprochable, est toujours prêt à vous rendre service et vous faire découvrir les richesses de l'île : visite du marché, découverte culinaire, et sans jamais s'imposer le tout dans une classe "so british !". Vous aurez également la possibilité d'avoir des repas d'un super rapport qualité / prix et typiques servis à domicile que vous pourrez déguster sur la terrasse, toujours avec cette vue imprenable sur la baie de Castries (merci à Julie et Kisha). Pour conclure, si vous voulez découvrir Sainte-Lucie, pas de doute c'est à Frangipani qu'il faut se rendre les yeux fermés. Merci encore à Dylyn et Chris pour leur gentillesse et leur hospitalité. Julie, Denis, Adeline, Jean-Philippe et Romain.

A PLUS FROM US

Honestly I was skeptical and anticipated a scam when I first viewed VRBO and this property mainly because it looked too good to be true. All my concerns were cleared once I did my own research, found the owners on facebook, and called them. A warning though, they live in the UK so my 60 minute conversation with them cost me 180 dollars US. Dylyn and Chris are genuine people and it was a pleasure talking with them. A little about the property. If you are not from the island or don't know it well, you may have some issues finding it at first. It isn't secluded but you'll travel down roads and question the GPS accuracy. We stayed upstairs and the property was absolutely beautiful with the most amazing views. The beds were uncomfortable to us though. However we were grateful because more than likely they were better than most. Cooking was a bit of a challenge. There was one skillet and the other had a broken handle. There wasn't any spices to cook with but we left plenty for the next group. The shower pressure in the main bath is at a trickle whereas the master bathroom shower had plenty. The hot water was very limited but that didn't bother me much. This rental property has a home alarm system. MAKE SURE IT IS WORKING PROPERLY. It wasn't working correctly when we arrived but the owners were quick to get someone to fix it. There is not a TV as seen on the pictures, so if you desire entertainment pack all your passwords and stream off the WiFi, no problems. The views we saw on VRBO are real and breathtaking in person. We saw some of the other rentals while on our drives out and we definitely had the better one. Stay at this one, we were certainly glad we did. If you have valuables as in jewelry and cash do not store it inside your locked car (thinking the car alarm will be enough to detour a thief). In fact DO NOT store anything in your car that you don't want stolen. Our car was broken into on day 2 of our stay. The thief's were smart and disabled the battery then bent the top of the driverside door down low enough to unlock it. The Property Managers, Julie and Kiesha are very nice and were very helpful. They live across the street. Most neighbors have pitbulls as guard dogs so going to a neighbors house for something can be tricky. If you do not have WhatsApp installed on your phone you will need it. We found that is the best way to communicate with them. In summary, this isn't an all inclusive overpriced resort.

Beautiful Home and Stunning View

Lots to do in St. Lucia, but we spent most of our time on the veranda. Beautiful view of the sea and marinas. Lots of birds, including the Crested hummingbird and Trembler. Julie made lovely meals. Joel took us to market when we wanted. People on the un-named street were friendly and helpful. Impossible to find the villa without a street contact. We had several issues with the property, but the owners were very responsive and took care of it. We would rent the home again.

lovely Villa

Property was neat and clean when we arrived. Introduced by manager who was always there when needed. The view from top of the property was amazing. A little far from the actual city centre for us as we were there for Carnival so ended up spending more on travel than intended. however that was due to us not looking at the map well enough. Other than that Villa was great.

Beautiful Villa Frangipani: lovely house, gorgeous views

Villa Frangipani was one of the highlights of your 3-week holiday in the Caribbean (Martinique and St. Lucia). The house itself is beautiful and very attractively designed and laid out and the verandah, with its loungers and rocking chairs, is a delight. It’s also cool and airy, and although fans are provided we didn’t need to use them. The views are fabulous at all hours of the day, and the sunsets are spectacular. Another plus point is that the furniture and crockery etc. are also attractive: not an afterthought, as in some holiday rentals. You feel as if you're a guest in a real home, which is very nice. Dylyn, the owner, sent us a helpful newsletter before we arrived, with lots of tips about places to see and things to do in St Lucia, and some useful local contacts. For example, Julie, the villa's joint manager, who also cooked us a wonderful meal; and Paulie, a super-helpful and friendly driver who took us on a tour of local beaches. In the end we opted for Vigie beach: it's nearby and never too full, and great for long walks at the water's edge. We did hire a car, which we found indispensable for shopping and getting to and from the beach. I felt a real sense of accomplishment once I finally plucked up the courage to drive down to Soufriere, where we spent a few days, as my husband had been doing all the driving up till then. There's a well-equipped utility room in the Villa with a line for drying clothes, but an additional line or clothes horse would be helpful, for beach towels etc. Our one regret is that we didn't stay longer - we were only there for 6 days. We'd love to go back and stay for a couple of weeks to really enjoy this beautiful home to the full. Thank you, Dylyn and all your great team!

We had a fantastic two weeks at the Villa.

Frangipani is a fantastic Villa with lots of natural breeze blowing through. We stayed there for my Daughters wedding.The ceremony was held on the balcony with fabulous views of Vigie Beach and the Castries Harbour in the background.A sunset to die for as we dined for the reception, one can only say but it has to be experienced to enjoy the full beauty. Thank you Dylyn we had a blast

Sunsets, rainbows, and the view!

My husband Nic and I had a wonderful 2 week stay at Villa Frangipani. We loved that the house was located in a local neighborhood with friendly, helpful people. The openness of the house allowed for wonderful breezes. We enjoyed exploring the island in our rental car and hired Paulie to drive us to the Jump-ups (a street party with great food) on Friday nights. He's a gem and very responsible. We absolutely loved the large, comfortable porch and spent most of our time enjoying the view, listening to the sounds, and watching the beautiful sunsets! After a rain, we would see large, colorful rainbows, really magical! We ate delicious local food, even buying freshly caught Mahi from local fisherman. On our first night, Julie cooked a delicious traditional caribbean meal for us, served with Hidden's tasty rum punch!! We were fortunate that the owners, Dylyn and Chris were visiting from London. Delightful people we enjoyed spending time with. A great experience on St. Lucia at the Villa Frangipani!!

Just wonderful

I apologise for my poor English, but I would like to say that the twelve days we spent in Saint Lucia, at the villa Frangipani, were beyond our dreams. Forget Rodney Bay, you can find such touristic places everywhere, but you wouldn't find another villa Frangipani. It is located in a pleasant neighbourhood, with nice people around to help you if you need it. Hidden and his wife Julie are just great and... good cooks too. And Paulie is a gentleman I regret not having known better. A breathetaking view from the veranda, singing birds on the trees all around, reggae and calypso instead of alarm clocks and an island with fascinating historic background. of course there are beaches, and in Saint Lucia they are wonderful, but why not, also, talking to the beautiful people of Saint Lucia ? They have plenty to say about life, economic issues, richness and poverty. About the use of chemicals in agriculture, about the place of the Caribbeans islands in the world. And about music and parties. Saint Lucia is a musical island and villa Frangipani the most wonderful score of the Caribbeans.

Awe: The Villa Frangipani!

A FANTASTIC TIME Almost 2 weeks ago we came back from St. Lucia, time really flies… We had a great time at the Villa Frangipani and on the Island. We were really grateful to Dylyn the owner for her little “travel guide" which was contained in a Newsletter, and we tried a lot of the things she recommended. We travelled to the south of the island and went to the Ladera Resort and had a very enjoyable cocktail and an exceptional close-up view of the Pitons. We travelled to the north of the island and ate at Jambe de Bois restaurant, Pigeon Island. We visited Marigot Bay where we had lunch at “Doolittle’s” where the film 'Doctor Doolittle' was made. The “Jump Up” in Gros Islet was really entertaining, and we were happy at beautiful Anse Chastanet, Anse Cochon, and Ti Kaye Village. The last hours before departure were spent at the Rendezvous Resort, which was lovely and interesting, just as Dylyn’s Newsletter said it would be. In the evenings we spent several nights enjoying Hidden’s fantastic creole food, his rum punch and – of course – loads of Bounty rum and Piton beer J while experiencing some of the most wonderful sunsets. Every morning, after an early wake up call from the neighbourhood cockerel, we watched the cruise ships coming into Castries harbour. As I work in tourism, I liked checking out with my binoculars which company was arriving. Travelling in our little Chevrolet Spark was fun and exciting due to the “crazy roads” and the experience of a flat tyre on the second day – a lot of fun though – and after returning we felt quite odd driving on our good streets again! J We loved the rainforest and natural beauty of St.Lucia, and will hopefully come back in the future to stay at the villa Frangipani with the stunning views. We would like to thank Dylyn very much again for renting her lovely house to us. We will definitely recommend it to our friends. Christa O.

Home from Home

My husband and I had a wonderful 2 weeks at Frangipani. David uses a wheelchair and was able to access all parts of the house, he was even able to get his own beer out of the fridge ! The views were stunning and David loved getting up early and getting out on to the veranda to watch the cruise ships coming into Castries. It used to be us on the cruise ships coming into our beloved St Lucia so it was great to see it from a different angle. We have been coming to St Lucia for many years but this is the first time self catering. Hidden and Julie were lovely and Julie's caribbean cooking was yummy as was Hidden's rum punches, wow!. It was great sharing caribbean life with friends and family of the owners, a real home from home. David had a little trouble in the shower as he is unable to stand but Hidden provided us with a plastic garden chair which solved the problem straight away. Nothing was too much trouble, they looked after us so well. Mosquito nets were very helpful and well worth using. We did get a few bites but nothing troublesome, just need to take plenty of mosquito repellent and cream for bites. Dylyn and Chris's Newsletter was the best i have ever read - it covered everything you would need to know - the good and the not so good. I found it so useful, even down to telephone numbers for the airport, taxi's if needed, emergency services and pleasure/ideas for activities and excursions. We spent a day at Rendezvous Hotel where we have stayed many times in the past but we looked forward to going "back home' to our lovely view. As David is disabled we hired a car for the whole holiday which was great. A friend of the owners has a car hire company and they met us at the airport driving us to Frangipani and did the same on the return journey - this was so helpful for us and a great way to start and end the holiday. We will be back next year hopefully with my mum and brother and his wife who I think will love it. Thank you for letting us share your lovely home.

Lovely Villa with Spectacular View!

We visited St. Lucia for a close friend's wedding, which was held at one of the Island's Sandals resorts. All of our friends stayed at Sandals for four days, while we decided to extend our stay to 12. We are glad we chose this Villa as we wound up paying less than half of what our friends payed and we stayed three times as long! The Villa is gorgeous and was perfect for all of our needs. A constant breeze through the villa eliminates a need for an Air Conditioner. The view from the large back porch is breathtaking. The garden shower was locked and therefore, out of commission for us to use, however, the indoor showers were enjoyable. The location of the villa isn't prime for walking unless you are accustomed to the island, as villa is on the top of a large, steep hillside. It is recommended to use Paulie (see below) or rent a car. As for the location of the villa with regard to having transportation, it was prime for us, as our friend's wedding was only a 20 minute ride. All other amenities were in close riding distances, including the beach, shopping, restaurants, and guided tours of various kinds. Hidden was a pleasure to have around and full of knowledge. He often stopped by with freshly picked fruit from his backyard. The local fruit was more delicious than the same fruit we would pick up in our local supermarkets back home. We also had the pleasure of enjoying some of Hidden's food that was absolutely delicious and like nothing else we had tasted (off and on the island!) Having Hidden cook for you is a must if you want to enjoy the local island food! (And make sure you taste some of his Rum Punch ... emphasis on Punch!) Paulie (our personal transportation provider, who is provided upon request from Dylyn) was a pleasure to have handy. He catered to all of our needs, regardless of the time of day or night. He was very helpful and able to either match or beat the local taxi prices.

a wonderful holiday in a beautiful villa

We spent two wonderful weeks at the villa high on Castries. After walks in the rain forests of Saint Lucia, was it always very a rest on the terrace to sit and relax. The villa is equipped with everything you need to spend a nice holiday. You do not necessarily need a car, but it is useful after the purchase. A taxi from Castries to the villa is not expensive, we have paid always 25 EC. We thank Dylyn and his family for the Nice accommodation, we come back safely. many greetings Rita and René
