WhereToStay.com's Review
Perched on a hillside overlooking the bay, La Sarabande Villa is ideally located close to the beaches and shopping areas that St. Martin has to offer, but remote enough to give guests the privacy and seclusion they're seeking on a Caribbean vacation. La Sarabande doesn't disappoint as evidenced by this review given by a recent guest, "This beautiful villa exceeded our expectations! The view was magnificent and just five minutes down the hill to the beach." Each bedroom has its own covered terrace, and the common rooms are open and easy to navigate. The covered patio is just the spot for enjoying your juice or coffee, and watching the sun come up over the ocean.
Villa Description
La Sarabande is a 3-bedroom, 3 ½-bathroom villa with a 180-degree view over Orient Bay, certainly one of the best beaches on the island. From the swimming pool of this villa, guests can admire both its tropical garden and the bay.
The furnishings are definitely modern with paintings, sculptures, and artifacts reflecting faraway travels. In the three bedrooms, "Ali Baba," "Massai," and "Grenade," with designer furnishings and en-suite bathrooms, guests will find the cultural spirit which is central to the house.
Two bedrooms are furnished with king-size beds, the third with twin beds which can be combined into a king-size. Each room, equipped with a flat-screen TV and a DVD player, is air-conditioned and opens onto a terrace with a view over the sea.
The lounge opens to a sheltered terrace where guests can relax or simply enjoy happy times with friends or should you wish to take a dip, the swimming pool is only a few feet away. It is also equipped with a 40-inch flat-screen TV with American and French satellite and a stereo system to listen to your iPod. Thanks to WI-FI internet service, guests can connect from anywhere in the house.
The kitchen is equipped with a refrigerated wine cabinet and throughout the house, everything is tasteful and carefully thought-out, from the household linens to the china and crystal glasses.
Villa Notes:
The washer and dryer are not available for use by guests. On request, the housekeeper can do your personal laundry for a small fee.
