For those who want true privacy during their Caribbean holiday, but who also wish for the optimal amenities, the Villa Cristobal is a wonderful solution. A seven-plus acre estate sitting just above the coveted Gouverneur Beach in St. Barts, it also features a private driving range for golfing enthusiasts, as well as a bevy of other luxuries.

Of course, you may find it difficult to tear yourself away from the stunning pool terrace, with its picture postcard beauty that includes a free form, oval pool lined with a stunning stone terrace. Cheerful palms frame one edge, natural stone lines the other, and a delightful (fully equipped) dining gazebo is tucked into a shady niche. Sun beds allow you to savor the show-stopping views, and it is an area you will quickly choose as a favorite place for sunrises, sunsets, and gathering throughout the day.

Head up the curved stone stairs to the villa and you discover the impressive terrace and porches. The villa is divided into a main living area and flanked by two separate bedroom pavilions on each side. The main living area is a two-story structure that features an al fresco dining area, outdoor living room, and seating areas on the porch.

Step in through the shuttered doors and you find the delightful great room with its colorful décor and generously sized furnishings. This opens into the remarkably appealing kitchen, a sunny yellow space with high end appliances and access to the gardens. There is also an office in the main house as well as two more bedrooms, one with two twin beds and another with a double bed.

The two king bedrooms on either side of the house offer amazing views, direct terrace and porch access, and opulent ensuite baths.

The Villa Cristobal is remarkably spacious and appealing, putting you minutes from such delights as Gustavia and the beach below, but you may find all you need here.
