Description Gustavia Gold: Sous le Vent

Perched above Gustavia with the Caribbean laid out in front of you, this villa earns its place on the hillside. The living room opens directly onto that ocean panorama, while the heated infinity pool on the wooden deck below makes it feel as if you could swim straight into the horizon. Evenings are best spent on the covered terrace, where the sunset arrives in full colour over the water. Closer to earth, Shell Beach and Gustavia Harbour – with its parade of superyachts – are both within easy reach.

Home truths:
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can arrange a cot, high chair, and baby monitor.
* Two of the three upstairs bedrooms in the rear building are connected and share access between them — worth keeping in mind when deciding who sleeps where.
* Housekeeping is provided daily except on Sundays and public holidays. Towels are swapped every two days and bed linen every three days.
* Also included with your stay is a personalised welcome at St-Jean Airport or Gustavia Port.
* There's a heated outdoor swimming pool here. Pool heating is available between 15th November and 30th April.
