St. Barts Villas by

Despite being a spacious six-bedroom villa, Romance is, as its name would suggest, an charmingly-intimate holiday hideaway on the edge of Terre-Neuve. The open-plan villa resembles a traditional but stylish beach house with views over the rolling hills, lush vegetation and colourful roofs of neighbouring bungalows and out across the serene sea.

The light and airy home is air-conditioned throughout and boasts whitewashed wooden panelling, high vaulted ceilings and is finished with French-inspired antiques and elegant, plush furniture. The traditional decor and West Indies’ touches create a chic but comfortable space for relaxing, lounging and dining. The large living room flows seamlessly into a formal dining area and out through large doors, which slide back fully to create easy indoor/outdoor living, and onto a stylish covered terrace with dining table, cosy sofas for relaxing and another al fresco sitting area under a picturesque pergola. There’s also a contemporary kitchen with a sit-up bar in front of sliding doors, which open out onto a deck boasting a barbecue station, wet bar and an additional guest bathroom.

The villa offers six bright bedrooms - all with king-size beds, ensuite bathrooms and beautiful views of the ocean or garden. Each bedroom is decorated with elegant simplicity to create a relaxed and informal ambience and finished with bold, patterned furnishings. Three bedrooms are situated on the main floor, two with large private terraces, while the third has a private outdoor shower. On the lower level one bedroom has its own kitchenette, making it ideal for a nanny or anyone in the group seeking an additional level of privacy, and is located next to the fitness room.

Step through the large glass doors, which perfectly frame the stunning view, and feel the warm wooden deck on your bare feet. Enjoy a lazy breakfast on the terrace while the children splash and paddle in the long, heated infinity pool, which is lined by soft loungers and sparkles in the midday sunshine. Located just a few minutes from Flamands beach - great for swimming, surfing and enjoying Caribbean lobster in one of the charming seaside eateries - Romance is the perfect place for a fairy-tale break with the whole family.
