Why not have it both ways? The newly built Villa Gustavia (GIA) is the best of both worlds: a soft, romantic enclave that is within easy reach of the shopping, restaurants, and nightlife of Gustavia. Set on the cliffs above the city, the home is an easy walk away from the main drag—but once you&'re ensconced in it, it&'s all about classic Caribbean elegance, splendid sunset views and golden afternoon light, and the good company of whoever is fortunate enough to be your traveling companion.
The panoramic vistas seen from many of the rooms in this luxury rental property are inherently breathtaking, and they are maximized by the intelligent design. The living spaces are built and furnished in a way that lets you enjoy the scenery outside to the fullest. Although the design is classic and traditional in feel—with its calming whitewashed floors and vaulted ceilings—many of the thoughtful details are completely up-to-date and convenient. The louvered doors on both sides of the living area can be opened or closed as you wish, so that you can get just as much of the ocean breeze and warm sunlight as your mood calls for. There are verandas both covered and uncovered, letting you sunbathe or stay cool as you wish.
Among Villa Gustavia&'s many appealing features is its secret kitchen: Along with the showplace cooking area, which is separated from the living space by a gleaming white breakfast bar with barstools, there is a separate prep and storage area behind it, where a private chef can be tucked away to prepare the food—Sibarth&'s concierge has the island&'s best on speed-dial. All the appliances in the front kitchen can be similarly hidden behind sliding door panes.
The lavish master suite is on the same floor as the main indoor and outdoor living areas. Along with the king-size bed, it has its own large dressing area and walk-in closet, good-size bathroom, and a balcony with rattan chairs overlooking the pool and ocean.
Down one level below lies the second bedroom, which is just steps away from the beautiful infinity pool. Also on the pool level is a shaded gazebo on the far end of the deck that is delightful for breakfast or sundowners—or for a casual alfresco dinner. An auxiliary kitchen tucked beneath it for outdoor cooking. There&'s also a gas grill. A third bedroom is near the gazebo. Please note that bedroom four is suitable for children or a nanny.
In a setting as dreamy as Villa Gustavia, one should hardly have to work, but should reality intrude, there is a small office by the villa&'s entrance, as well as Wi-Fi throughout.
