St Lucia Villa Rentals
There is a magical air about Stonefield Estate Villa Resort, which is reminiscent of an earlier, more romantic age. Set amid the lush foliage of a former lime and cocoa plantation and nestled at the base of the awe-inspiring Pitons, Stonefield Estate Villa Resort is a luxury boutique resort.
It consists of several extremely attractive villas in traditional West Indian style amongst the outrageous tropical greenery of the southwest of St Lucia. The resort boasts one of the most dramatic settings in the Caribbean, dwarfed by the Petit Piton, the 2400 ft incisor-shaped spike that soars from the water just south of Soufriere.
Stonefield is set on 27 acres of steep hillside, a swathe of a thousand greens. Gulleys exploding with tropical flora run down through the estate. Huge trees stand around, vast breadfruits, mangos and flamboyants, and at their feet there are splashes of colour - heliconias, hibiscus and bougainvillea. The resort is a former sugar, then lime and finally cocoa plantation and some structures from the earlier plantations remain. Set among all of this, supported by massive stone retaining walls, stand the villas. The villas have terra cotta tiles, rush mats and muslin mosquito nets over the beds. Much of the furniture, including the four poster beds, bedside tables and cabinets was made by the owners. Beyond the bathroom, with its his and hers basins, many of the villas have open-air, garden showers.
These elegantly rustic villas and dramatic tropical backdrop afford visitors a chance to relax, luxuriate and rejuvenate. At this elevation, air-conditioning isn’t really needed and so instead maximum use is made of traditional methods of ventilation. Stonefield Estate Villa Resort continues a 1600-year old reputation as one of the most desirable destinations for the discerning traveller.
All villas feature large open air verandas with private pools offering breathtaking views of the Pitons and Caribbean Ocean, full kitchen, living/dining area, four poster bed, hammocks & pool lounges, private outdoor showers, daily housekeeping, iron/boards, secure locking safe, radio/CD player.
Accommodation ranges from one-bedroom superior villas sleeping 2 adults to premium luxury villas sleeping 6 adults and 3 children.
