🌴La Batterie Villa • Wunderschöne Boutique-Inselvilla mit atemberaubendem Blick 🌴

We can’t say enough about how amazing this property and staff are. My wife and I recently celebrated our ten year anniversary here and have found a place we want to come back to every year. Over the years we’ve traveled the world and stayed in everything from 5 star hotels and resorts to VRBO flats and houses and none of them come close to this. From the breathtaking views of the Pitons and beautiful gardens, to the top notch service of Stephanie and Terry. They catered to our every want and need and made sure our stay was unforgettable. The next time we stay we plan on having Stephanie cook for us everyday, it was by far some of the best food we’ve ever had. We split our time between the perfect and secluded pool area and the two gorgeous beaches just a short drive/walk away. One thing that really surprised us was how private the villa was, extremely relaxing and serene. The pictures just don’t do the views justice. Thanks again to the owners and staff for an unforgettable anniversary, we can’t wait to visit again!

We loved our 8 nights at LB. Communication with Michael & Jennifer was top notch. They answered endless questions & suggested restaurants & activities to consider. Check in is a breeze, & having Clavie pick us up at the airport ($75) was great-roughly an hour drive. Steph prepared 4 lunches & dinners in the villa-chicken roti, shrimp creole, BBQ ribs, mac & cheese, chicken curry, jerk chicken- ate the leftovers next day. She also pre-stocked the fridge with eggs, cheese & crackers, water, etc. & we stopped at a larger grocery store on the way back from the airport to pick up wine. The pricing for this is SO reasonable. If I remember, we paid Stephanie $15 for each meal+ingredients. For dinner, we asked her to stay to serve which she did and that was $20 for her time (and returning to the villa). I don't regret this decision at all--the view from La Batterie is the best! The other 3 nights we ate out, roughly $10 an hour for local places with Clavie. We went to Dasheen at the Hotel Laredo. As the hosts suggested, we arrived early for appetizers to watch the sunset. The seafood fritters were delicious. Look up sunset and plan to arrive about an hour before so you get good table. Another night we ate at Orlando’s based on reviews but disappointed. There was still the same set dinner menu from Xmas Eve even though it was mid January and it was mediocre. We also ate at right on the beach at Anse Chastanet. I loved hearing the waves hit the shore. The food & menu there were great! On the way back to the airport, Clavie took us to Fedo’s in town, a totally local place that was good. Bibianna & Marilyn kept the villa clean and stocked with fresh towels, & were so kind. We adjusted the hours and only had staff come every other day for privacy. Since I overpacked, I used another closet as there aren’t a ton of hangars, but since only 2 of us no big deal. The pool area has sun and shade which we loved but spent more time on the deck for the view & only went down to the pool when we were hot. I loved everything about the villa except since I am afraid of birds, small birds do fly into the house-though fly out again quickly, which kept me in near constant startle mode during the day. They didn’t bother my husband at all and our kids would have loved them, but I mention it so anyone else with my irrational fear is aware. If you are visiting St. Lucia, I highly recommend La Batterie. Its views, staff, & owners will make your trip amazing!

Thank you Michael & Jennifer for the use of your stunning Villa to celebrate our honeymoon. (Even though we had our kids in tow to share our time it was an amazing week!)

Located up a short hill & walk from Anse Chastanet & Mamin Beaches (in my opinion the best we visited on St Lucia) better than Sugar beach! which is stony in parts. Also the beach bar at both beaches does mouth watering burgers & curried goat!

La Batterie villa has amazing views of the Pitons in an excellent location, on a quiet road within easy access to the local town of Soufriere & many of the local attractions including the hot mud baths & lava springs, zip wiring (great fun), boat tours, not to forget the Pitons themselves (which we didn't climb! I will be back to do this.)

The staff were extremely friendly & welcoming to all our requirements. Thank you Clavie, for your knowledge & of course safe driving, Stephanie for your wonderful home food cooking, BK for looking over us every night, Marilyn & Bibiana for keeping the villa spotless & Terry for making the grounds look so pretty with a special thank you Terry for the most amazing half day walking tour of the rainforest with your expert knowledge of the local herbs & plants! The kids loved their plant tattoos :) This was one of our top highlights of our whole trip to St Lucia along with our private boat tour which are both a must!

We would definitely recommend La Batterie Villa & how you have made our stay & booking process so efficient & welcoming.

We will definitely be back next time we visit St Lucia!

Thank you Simon & family.

I am going to agree with everything that all the other reviewers have said about la batterie villa as this would be the only place I would stay on the island. The pictures online cannot depict how beautiful the house and views truly are. The staff is amazing. Our family loves food so we tried several places on the island for dinner, but only one is worth recommending, and that is the restaurant at hotel chocolat. We had an amazing lunch there after we did the chocolate making class , which my whole family would highly recommend. At other restaurants, we found the service to be extremely slow(this is especially relevant if you have younger children and teens like us) and the food mediocre. Our children only wanted Stephanie to cook dinner after having her food compared to dasheen and the restaurant at the hummingbird. Lastly, our family loved the rainforest tour with gardener Terry, snorkeling with sugar boat tours, deep sea fishing with mystic man tours and the tour of the volcano. If there was anything that we would have liked to know before going is that there are people trying to sell you something everywhere you go, don’t be afraid to say no, it is an island paradise and island time is a real thing! Be prepared to slow down and relax, and la batterie villa is the perfect place to do just that! Thank you Michael and Jennifer for always being available to answer questions and for sharing your beautiful home in St. Lucia!

We have had a great time. The staff is awesome. Stephanie’s cooking is the best, and she accommodated our every need. The trip to the rain forest with Terry was so much fun and so interesting. We highly reccomend this villa for anyone looking for a relaxing and special stay in St Lucia. Thank you!
