Soufriere, Soufriere
La Batterie Villa is a COVID-19 certified property and an approved accommodation from the government of Saint Lucia. Please check with us for current protocols for the villa and for the island before booking your stay.
Tucked away in the exclusive Anse Chastanet / Jade Mountain area of Soufriere, La Batterie villa offers complete privacy. You will find your escape at this luxury villa surrounded by lush gardens, a tropical swimming pool with accompanying cabana, lily pond and spacious decks. Located 300 feet above the Caribbean Sea facing the infamous Pitons there is no shortage of breathtaking views, cool island breezes and awe.
Moving inside, the villa is constructed of native stone along with teak and mahogany woods. Built in traditional Caribbean construction, the house has louvered plantation style doors that open to take full advantage of its abundant natural and tropical landscape.
The house has three bedrooms each with king sized beds and ensuite washroom to allow guests maximum privacy and can comfortably sleep a group of six. Each bedroom has its own lounging patio along with wardrobe closets. The master bedroom overlooks the Caribbean Sea while the two other bedrooms overlook the villa gardens. These two rooms can be made with single beds if requested in advance.
Additionally, the villa has a loft over the living room that can be used to sleep two however we would recommend that they be in their teenage years to allow maximum comfort. In addition to the three bedrooms, the house provides areas for group gathering and entertainment such as the elegant terra cotta living and dining rooms which face the sea. The living room opens up to a 40 foot open teak deck that highlights the beauty of the Pitons where guests can enjoy the breeze while watching the boats pass by. The dining room offers a table that seats a party of six and is a great spot for enjoying amazing Caribbean dinners that can be requested through the house cook, Stephanie, for a nominal fee. For a change of scenery, breakfast can be enjoyed down by the cabana where a table setting allows you to ease into your day while listening to the waterfall hit the pool.
The villa is fully staffed with (2) housekeepers, gardener, pool man and night time security, all of these services are also included in the rental price As for the cooking, should you choose to stay close to the villa on some nights (or all) we do have a cook that is available at the villa. Stephanie is our cook and makes amazing meals. She works with guests to set a menu based on their preferences and can make traditional St Lucian meals or American / European meals with a creole twist. Her meals are one of the things we miss most when we're not on the island. Stephanie's meal preparation fee is $12 USD for breakfast and $20 USD for lunch or dinner, plus the cost of any ingredients which again can be arranged for the staff to purchase on their way up to the villa each day. It should be noted that the meal prep fee is based per meal and not per person.
The Premises are equipped with exterior security cameras. Cameras are installed for the purposes of additional security during times the property is not occupied by guests. All cameras are located on the outside of the villa and directed at entry access points to the property (wall, front gate, side gate, pathway). No cameras are located in common areas (decks, pool) or inside the villa itself or have any view inside the villa or common areas. Cameras are not monitored during guest occupancy and recordings are only viewed for staff timekeeping verification, weather events, or reported incidents.
Words could never properly prepare you for the beauty that is Saint Lucia – come experience La Batterie and elevate your vacation to the next level!
My wife and I stayed here in July of 2023. It's a wonderful property. The views are even more amazing than the pictures show. With all of the staff available, it's like staying at a 5 star resort dedicated to just you. Stephanie cooking amazing meals and scheduling massages. Clavie driving you where ever you need to go. Bibi cleaning every day. Terry roasting coffee and BK watching over the property at night. All wonderful and very accommodating. We did walk down the hill to Anse Chastanet to enjoy the beach. We ran into Simon from Simon Says tours and did ziplining, the volcano mud baths and snorkeling through him, which was a great experience as well. Could we have done it all ourselves, yes. But Simon and Simon Jr were great tour guides. We would love to visit this property during the winter time and enjoy a cooler climate. Summertime can be a bit warmish, but there are plenty of fans to help keep you cool. I doubt you can find a nicer rental experience on St Lucia. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
We stayed in this home for our 25th anniversary & again for our 51st! So many great memories from the past & wonderful new ones from this visit. The location & surroundings are awesome! The staff was friendly & knowledgeable-we looked forward to seeing them each day. They made our stay very pleasant & seamless. Food was great & fresh-thank you Stephanie! Beds were comfortable & well made each day- thank you Bibi! It was wonderful to wake up to the Pitons each morning & to sit on the deck at night to see the stars highlighting the shadows of the Pitons. We swam in the well maintained pool twice each day. Afternoons we could be found on the deck or in the hammock for a nap. So much to see & do in the area-Clavie’s taxi service was available & treated us well. We won’t forget our Fantastic return visit!
We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary in St. Lucia and couldn't have asked for a more beautiful setting. La Batterie has incredible views, and the grounds are absolutely gorgeous. We enjoyed having coffee on the deck every morning taking in the scenery, flowers, and birds. Stephanie cooked several delicious meals for us, and Bibi kept the house immaculate. We ventured next door for dinner and down the road to Anse Chastenet to go to the beach and snorkel. The pool was refreshing every afternoon, and the owners were very responsive and helpful. On our final evening, we went on a whale-watching cruise with Mystic Man Tours and saw a pod of orcas. It was the perfect end to a memorable trip.
The view and home is even better than pictured, it's a dream destination with award winning beaches close by for snorkeling/diving and beach bars, a wonderful pool for the afternoon heat and great rooms with their own bathrooms.The Cabana is a great addition...so beautiful! We shopped in the capital city, zipline'd, Botanical garden & mineral bath, enjoyed breakfast one day at Hotel Chocolat, Visited Sugar Beach and ate a fancy dinner at Caille Blanc Villa Hotel (Next door) and yet, nothing compares to this private home & staff. This is our 2nd time staying and it was great to re-connect with the house staff, they are as impressive as this view. We absolutely love Stephanie & BB, who everyday kept the rooms so clean & cooked the best food on the island!!! plus Terry the gardner has worked for this family for over 40 years, grows & roast his own coffee and such a joy to talk to. We drive in lots of other countries but NOT here. You really need 4 wheel drive and more extensive knowledge of the area and streets, So this house has a driver to pay as taxi service, Clavie who we just loved his services and he is way more skilled to drive these roads. It is always hard to say goodbye to the staff, so we say We will see you again. Thank you Michael for allowing this amazing home to be rented and taking such great care of your staff who just made us all feel so welcome & Thank you for the Champagne to celebrate my Sister & Brother-in Laws 50th Anniversary, this trip was absolutely a dream trip for them with lots of fun photos & videos to cherish for years.
We were a group of 6 celebrating a 50th birthday milestone. Property was big enough for us to each find our own corners to relax, and morning and night we were repeatedly consumed by the views—esp from master bedroom. The staff was attentive and easy to work with. There were US and G plugs in bathrooms, ample closet spaces and despite the open concept felt that each room still had privacy. Order coffee from the gardener! Def recommend.
Where to begin on this absolutely Stunning Paradise? We booked Christmas week about a year ago, and it was the best vacation ever. Once we stepped through the Villa's front gate and walked across the yard to the Villa, we were captivated from the unbelievable view of the Pitons and the sea. The décor and inside amenities of the Villa were perfect. We loved that there are no glass windows in the Villa, anywhere. All open to the warm beautiful trade winds and the sounds of the rainforest and birds below. The beds and bedrooms were perfect, each with their own bathrooms. We loved the inside/outside feel of walking to our rooms at night while the misting warm rain was falling. The Staff - Stephanie and BiBi ran the house, and it was absolutely perfect. Stephanie and the meals she made were spectacular! BiBi and her attention to detail was superb! I coordinated with Stephanie and she shopped for our meals, and made what we wanted. But after tasting her meals, we stepped back and she planned our meals. I decided to cook a Beef Tenderloin for our Christmas meal, and she arranged for it, and it was delivered to our Villa. Whatever we wanted, it happened. Thank You Stephanie. Terry the groundskeeper was wonderful, and gave me a special tour of the Villa grounds and its flora. But most of all, the history of the Villa was wonderful! Especially since Terry has been employed by the family for over 40 years... Each evening, BK made himself know that he arrived. It was nice knowing that BK was on grounds if needed. We never saw him, it wasn't obtrusive, it was just a nice feeling. Believe me, the security of the Villa was impressive with the wall and gates, and built on the hillside, only way in is with wings! And of course, Clavie (the Mayor of Soufriere!) was the best. We always rent a car, wherever in the world we are, because I like driving in foreign countries. And we can go anywhere we want. But, this time, we let Clavie do the driving. He was so informative with all the history of the island and the area. He knows everybody, and everybody knows him! It truly was a pleasure being around him, and our security was his priority! Thank You Mike and Jennifer for sharing your piece of paradise with us. There was so much that we didn't see! We spent a lot of our time, swimming, drinking and eating! The Villa is so comfortable, that we didn't want to leave! La Batterie was exactly where we needed to be, to say goodbye to 2022 Brad & Troy
We enjoyed our stay at La Batterie. The view was awesome! Stephanie's meals were so good! A great week to celebrate anniversaries!
We cannot say enough about the villa and treatment by Stephanie and the crew. We will be back!
Such a welcoming family…miss everyone already! Thank you for taking such great care of us. Not a more beautiful place to find rest, fun and peace!
I can't describe how impressed we were both with the property but really, with the amazing staff at La Batterie. The property has been family owned for several decades and most of the staff have been with the house and this family for many years (one even remembering the current owner when he was a toddler)! You instantly realise that you have been welcomed by a group of people who love and care for the owner and for the property as they would their own family - and they welcome you into this atmosphere when you arrive. They are attentive (often anticipating and arranging things - from stocking of the fridge on arrival to booking relevant covid tests for guest and arranging drivers) and yet at times you are not even aware they are there. This was one of the most beautiful properties we have stayed and one of the most relaxing of holidays taken. I cannot recommend La Batterie, the owner and the staff enough.
Easy process for renting with owner providing full details and advice for navigating St. Lucia. Would love to come back!
