Fabulous Villa, Amazing Views, Delightful Owners!
Antoine and Sylvie have been emailing me to write a review....and I'm afraid to say that I have been slow to do so because, like previous folk have written, we are loathe to share the secret of L'ancre bleue!! This is, without doubt, the most wonderful villa, with the sweetest owners.
The villa is incredibly tastefully and artistically appointed. The views are spectacular and the position on the hill also takes full advantage of the beautiful sea breezes - such refreshment compared with our Dallas suburban life!
This was our second adventure to St. Martin with our two children (10 and 8), and this villa and the gracious hospitality of Antoine and Sylvie meant it was even more memorable than our first holiday. The villa is comfortable and very clean, with a housekeeper service once a week. Sylvie had thought of what we might need to tide us over in the kitchen and left out some activities for the children. Antoine discreetly checked in with us during the course of the week.
The villa is in a fantastic location with easy access to local restaurants, popular and quieter beaches, delicious culinary experiences in Grand Case and supermarkets for home cooking.
Our favourite places to eat Jam Rock, Villa Pizza, L'effet Mer and L'Auberge Gourmande, Oceans 82 and the food at Il Nettuno is tasty, whilst the décor is a little more 'authentic'.
The children love Orient Bay as it is lively and there are waves, our favourites are the lesser visited Happy Bay, Le Galion, Friars Bay, Petit Cayes which is only accessible via a cliff top walk.
We have never returned to the same villa for consecutive holidays, mainly because we like to explore new places. However, Sylvie and Antoine's villa is highly likely to make us change that tradition - we would love to return and stay again!
Thank you so much, Antoine and Sylvie!
