Villa Florence St Barts

Villa: Florence

Florence looks out over the ocean. From its hillside position in Marigot, the villa frames a panoramic vista where the deep blue sea meets the rolling green hills. This view is the constant, a living painting that changes with the light, visible from nearly every room.

It’s a scene of casual elegance, where the vibrant turquoise of the private pool seems to echo the Caribbean waters in the distance. The villa’s architecture, with its traditional white siding and distinctive green roofs, is designed to pull this landscape inside. Large sliding glass doors disappear into walls, creating an open flow between the cool, shaded interiors and the sun-drenched terraces. You’re never far from the sight of the water or the sound of the breeze in the palms. This connection to its setting is Florence’s defining feature, a quality confirmed in every visual detail and the core of its spacious, private atmosphere. Inside, the living area is bright and airy, governed by a high, open ceiling with exposed dark wooden beams.

It opens directly to the terrace, the pool, and that encompassing view of hills and ocean. The room’s character comes from a warm contrast of materials and bold color accents. Rich, dark wood tones on the floor are set against pale walls, while vibrant decorative pillows in orange, green, and red add energetic pops of color. A blue pendant light hangs as a focal point, and abstract artwork brings a modern touch. For entertainment, the space is equipped with a speaker system, Apple TV, and air conditioning, with mosquito nets ensuring comfort. It’s a room made for relaxed gathering, where conversations can flow effortlessly outside to the pool deck or remain in the cool, shaded comfort indoors. Adjacent, the kitchen continues the theme of warm, natural materials with dark wood cabinetry paired with light, speckled stone countertops. It’s fully equipped for both casual meals and more ambitious cooking, featuring a microwave, a toaster, a blender, and a dishwasher.

Coffee lovers are particularly well-served with both a standard coffee machine and a Nespresso espresso machine. Like the main living space, it benefits from air conditioning, making meal preparation a comfortable activity at any time of day. The practical layout ensures everything is within easy reach, supporting the villa’s overall feel of relaxed, effortless living. The outdoor focus is the 11.5 by 23 foot swimming pool, a turquoise centerpiece around which villa life revolves.

Surrounded by warm-toned wood decking and light beige stone patios, it’s an inviting spot for a cooling swim with the ocean as a backdrop. The pool area is accessible from multiple rooms, functioning as the villa’s central hub. A unique covered seating area with white pillars and a green roof offers a shaded retreat furnished with comfortable wicker furniture, perfect for lounging out of the sun. A stone archway frames one entrance to this space, adding a touch of architectural charm. Whether you’re basking on a sun lounger or enjoying the sheltered seating, this is where you’ll spend hours soaking in the St. Barts atmosphere. While the pool is not heated, the island’s climate ensures it remains refreshingly pleasant. The three bedrooms at Villa Florence each offer en-suite bathrooms with showers and are thoughtfully configured for privacy and views. Two nearly identical king suites on the main pool level form the heart of the accommodation, while a queen suite on a lower level provides a perfect retreat.

Bedroom 1 is a spacious sanctuary centered on a king-sized bed. It looks out toward the ocean and hillside, a vista enjoyed from within or from a private outdoor access point. The room’s defining features are its exquisite materials: exotic wood parquet floors and a false red cedar ceiling create a rich, warm canopy overhead. A large dressing room provides ample storage, and the en-suite bathroom is appointed with antique marble, confirming the supplier’s notes of tailored elegance. Air conditioning, a mosquito net, and a safe complete the suite, ensuring a restful and secure stay. Similarly appointed, Bedroom 2 also features a king-sized bed and the same captivating ocean and hillside view. It shares the high-quality finish of its counterpart, with exotic wood underfoot and a cedar ceiling above. This room also includes a generous dressing room and an en-suite bathroom with antique marble finishes. With air conditioning, a mosquito net, and a safe, it offers an identical standard of comfort and style, making both primary suites ideal for couples sharing the villa.

Occupying a lower level, Bedroom 3 provides a distinct and private atmosphere. It is furnished with a queen-sized bed and enjoys the same pleasing outlook over the ocean and hills. Its private terrace offers a distinct advantage, featuring an outdoor sitting area and shower surrounded by lush greenery. This separation from the main pool level makes it an ideal quarters for teenagers, a second couple desiring more autonomy, or anyone seeking a quiet hideaway. It is fully equipped with air conditioning, a mosquito net, a safe, and its own en-suite bathroom with a shower. For practical needs, the villa is well-appointed. Inside, you’ll find a TV with French satellite channels, a DVD player, and a CD player for entertainment.

Throughout the property, Wi-Fi keeps you connected. An iron and ironing board are provided for convenience. The villa’s location in Marigot offers a tranquil hillside setting while remaining conveniently accessible. Gustaf III Airport is approximately a 10 to 20 minute drive away, and a standard rental car is suitable for the access road; a 4x4 vehicle is not required. This balance of seclusion and connectivity is a hallmark of the area. Florence distinguishes itself within the collection of St. Barts luxury villas. It captures the essence of casual island elegance through its confident use of color, rich natural materials, and an unwavering focus on the view. This three-bedroom villa in Marigot is a framework for a classic Caribbean experience, where indoor and outdoor living are blended. For over 20 years, Premium Island Vacations has connected travelers with properties that embody their destination, and Villa Florence, with its vibrant warmth and open flow, is a standout example of that portfolio.
