Black Pearl Estate. A Unique Caribbean Home

We loved our stay at the Black Pearl. The hosts are amazing. They were flexible when our flight was cancelled and were so welcoming! The view from the estate is beautiful and we loved the pool and the visits from Merlot, one of their rescue dogs. Highly recommend!

Super stay, extremely peaceful location, hosts went over and above, great welcome, did a shop ready on arrival. Our only slight grumble was we didn’t know one of the bedrooms was a mezzanine bed with no walls which made privacy for an adult couple extremely difficult and they got eaten by bugs. I think description on all advertising sites needs to be clearer, otherwise we couldn’t fault it.

The house is beautiful! It has the best view!!! We spent our evenings at the house watching the sun set! Everything was super clean and comfortable! Bruno and his wife are amazing hosts! they were always available and helpful with every question or anything we needed! I would stay here again for sure and recommend this house to all my friends!

Bruno and Sylvia were the best owners we have ever dealt with they were attentive but also gave us our privacy when needed. The place is amazing and owners are very infomative. We re ready to book for next year. All you can ask for is already here. Thank you for opening up your home to our very small but happy family.

We’ve just come back from a fantastic two weeks in St. Lucia, superbly accommodated by Bruno and Silvia. The Black Pearl was the perfect family house, nestled high in the hills above Rodney Bay with superb views to both the north and the sunsets in the west. We loved everything the island had to offer and equally loved the time we spent at the house; swimming, sundowners on the balcony, cards and BBQs by the pool. We also loved being able to look back up into the hills from town and the beaches and see the house up in the mountains. Bruno took us on a tour of the gardens, I think we got to twenty different fruit trees in our little adventure. Bruno and Silvia were fantastic hosts, welcoming us warmly, being uber discrete during the day but always a smile and a wave when we saw them. Furthermore they provide excellent advice on day trips, restaurants and excursions - our final day’s speedboat adventure with Captain Dell was quite exceptional and an amazing way to end the perfect holiday. Do rent a 4x4, not just to get up to the house (the steep hill is imposing but there in lies half the beauty of the location) but for all the island’s roads. One of the best holidays we have ever had, in a fabulous and fun house. Thank you. Dominic & family.

We had a great two weeks (there were four of us) at Bruno and Sylvia's Black Pearl. The property has amazing views and is located where you want to be on the island in the Rodney Bay area as there are good restaurants to choose from and a few nice beaches. First of all, have Bruno reserve a taxi for you at the airport for the ride up (currently $US90 plus tip) and then rent a car for delivery at the estate the next morning (Cosmopolitan Car Rental delivers and rates were better than others). You will never find the place on your own- believe me. Also, Bruno and Sylvia can stock you up with a few staples for your first night. We were greeted by the hosts with fishcakes and lethal rum punch (tastes great but hangover warning). They know all the best restaurants and can even reserve for you (Jacques was our last night favorite) and can advise on everything else you need. They live close by but only come around to clean the pool every few days or if you need them for something. Sylvia knew where to get a case of Piton beer which was about $15 cheaper than two 12-packs from the supermarket and Bruno knows the wine industry and can help with delivery of wine. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable; we all slept great. Apart from the dishwasher which wasn't working and the French pool table that doesn't have pockets (look up the rules on how to play), all went very well and I'm not sure you can do much better than Black Pearl. 20,000 TV channels, too, if you need to watch.

This was mine & my family's first visit to St Lucia and it could not have been more amazing!! From Bruno & Sylvia arranging a driver to pick us up from the airport (& return us), greeting us with fishcakes, rum punch & fresh passionfruit juice, to helping us book excursions, and making many helpful recommendations! Not only did we love the property, but it really gave us an authentic St Lucia experience. There are many open air spaces, allowing little birds to come in and out, the views are breathtaking, and we really enjoyed the location. We did have a rental car and got out and about a lot with many great suggestions from Bruno. Overall this was an incredible & we're already planning our next trip back!

The Black Pearl is spacious and tasteful, with 5 full bathrooms, a delightful pool area and stunning views. There are many great beaches and restaurants in the area. The hosts will ensure that you are well taken care of for every aspect of your stay. I must mention that the water company was currently doing some work on a short section of the road to the Black Pearl and 4-wheel drive might have been desirable, although the hosts made sure to provide immediate transportation whenever we needed it so it was no problem. This is a perfect house with books, darts, backgammon, snooker, keyboard/drums/instruments and overall super ambiance. You cannot do better!

I could not ask for a better property or hosts to have had on my first trip to St Lucia! Bruno and Sylvia are phenomenal people, and their villa is gorgeous, even better than the pictures! We had an amazing time and experience on our trip, and because of Bruno and Sylvia alone, we will definitely be coming back to visit! Thank you for everything!! We hope to see you again soon! -David, Kim, Vania, Chris

The Black Pearl Estate provided just what our family needed. The natural environment brought exactly the tropical feel that we were looking for, while still having the amenities of home. Bruno and Sylvia were welcoming hosts that were able to assist us with anything we needed right away. The kitchen provided everything I needed to prepare several meals for my family when we weren’t able to tear ourselves away from the beautiful pool to dine out. We were so comfortable in the master bedroom that my husband and I actually said it may have been the best sleep we’ve ever had. Rodney Bay is very close and provides ample dining, shopping, and beach going experiences. My only suggestion for travelers would be to secure a driver for your trip if you are unfamiliar with driving in St. Lucia, or at the very least a 4WD vehicle for the drive up the hill to this beautiful home.
