– Caroline T., Villa Terre Indigo

 

Villa Mes Amis, 4-Bedrooms, Lurin

“We had a great time in St. Barths (seems redundant). Our favorite restaurants were Bonito, Santa Fe and Sella (atmosphere over food at Sella, but a really fun night) for dinner and Gypsea, Shellona and Toiny for lunch. Drinks were fun at La Plage (GM and Bartenders are amazing there). Favorite beaches – in no particular order were Gouvernor; Saline and Flamands. Toiny is beautiful but tough to swim at the Beach Club there because of all the rocks. Mes Amis is a perfect house. The view, location, staff and set up make it an ideal place for a vacation. Our concierge, Enzo, was amazing. Helped us with restaurants, cars, travel and beaches. We were lucky to have his help. Not sure our trip would have been as special without his help. Can’t wait to return. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.”

– Matthew P., Villa Mes Amis

Restaurants: Shellona, Tamarin, Sand Bar and Riviera (Hotel Christopher) all good choices and recommended. Black Ginger for takeout good alternative to eating out. Our private chef Paul Loubolais (sp.) did masterful job with our last day of stay dinner and is highly recommended. Au revoir.”
