Villa Atlantis (2BR)

Overview

Atlantis in Cap Estate by Personal Villas - Caribbean Villa with a Distinctly Modern Flair

VILLA ATLANTIS, Cap Estate, St. Lucia

Welcome to Atlantis, a Caribbean villa with a distinctly modern flair. Atlantis sits on top of a hill overlooking some of the best views in Saint Lucia. The sloping parkland around the villa is beautifully manicured, with many well-established trees and tropical shrubs, low-walled planters and a carefully tended kitchen garden springing into bounty after years of green-fingered care.

The curved driveway leads to a generous parking area and the impressive but welcoming entrance; with its elegant coral stone staircase framed by an arched portico and stately double doors. The single storey villa’s walls are built from natural local stone, and the arch motif is repeated throughout the exterior and interior, including the stylish but eminently functional solid wood windows whose shape exactly echo the architectural detail. Atlantis is a unique property in many ways, and the villa’s recent clever, high end upgrade has resulted in a crisp, modern look with a historic, old Caribbean feel.

Step inside, and the 8000 square foot home beckons in all directions. The immediate centre of attention is the indoor gated courtyard, with its soothing water feature and deep koi pond open to the blue sky above, a surprisingly Italianate feature in this Saint Lucian family home, throwing light and air throughout the adjacent great room and casual living area.

The living space has two areas: the formal lounge looks onto the villa’s capacious wrap-around verandah and pool deck, through tall, wide French windows that echo the arched style of the entrance. The interior walls are beautiful, a textural mixture of coral stone and natural local stone. Their silvery gray tones contrast with the high vaulted, dark stained ceiling, an original feature which was hand-crafted from beautifully finished natural wood. A casual-style TV den complete with a 50 inch smart TV lies to the right off the main living space, and the kitchen and formal dining room open up to the left.

Several guest bedrooms are laid out in an interlocking floor plan of the beautiful indoor/outdoor atrium near the courtyard. Cathedral ceilings and lots of arched windows ensure every bedroom is bright and airy. There are 5 bedrooms in total, bedroom 1 is to the left of the courtyard and has a queen size bed and an ensuite bathroom. The other four queen bedrooms are functionally laid out, of which three feature an ensuite bathroom. Within easy reach of these bedrooms is a cozy tv room, complete with DVD and a small movie selection.

**This villa has 5 bedrooms but this is the 2 bedroom rate, upon arrival you can choose whichever bedrooms you like and the other bedrooms are simply locked off during the stay. The entire villa is still private for you**

Housekeeper – 6 days weekly from 9 am to 3 pm and a gardener/ general maintenance man 5 days weekly.
