We traveled in February 2011 - sorry for the delay to post. Also see my review for Villa Beach Cottages - their hotel property on the northern end of the island. We spent a couple of nights at La Dauphine Estate in the larger of the two homes, and this was an experience I would recommend for everyone. It gives... More

Ideally situated in the solitude of the countryside, La Dauphine Estate offers old plantation style ambience with modern facilities. Set in acres of carefully tended lush tropical gardens, the Great House is perched on a hillside with views from the wraparound veranda of the surrounding area. A beautiful infinity pool blends into the natural surroundings and affords ultimate privacy. The... More

My husband and I spent two vacations at La Dauphine. What an idyllic place! The house has retained all of its Victorian character and yet is comfortable. The pool and vegetation are magnificent. One can take wonderful walks on the property, and, best of all, Charles and Antonia who oversee the property and estate are the most wonderful and helpful... More

Our second visit to La Dauphine was as enchanting and welcoming as the first some time ago. We received the same genuine higs and greetings as if we were long lost family. La Dauphine Estates is nestled on a slope within the rainforest with its breathtaking view of the Pitons and surrounding countryside. The Estate itself is comprised of a... More

La Dauphine Estate is a remarkable place to stay in St. Lucia. The setting, while removed from the beaches, is quickly made up by its outstanding placement within a working plantation and away from hustle and bustle. All staff on the premise - especially Antonia the housekeeper and Charles the estate manager - are outstandingly hospitable. The beauty, value, and... More

My significant other and two other couples wanted to take a tropical vacation. We had all done the all-inclusive resort type vacation and wanted something different. We decided on La Dauphine Estate, which is a large plantation house on the Southern portion of the island in Soufriere. I definitely recommend renting a car for this house. The beaches, town, restaurants,... More

We stayed at La Dauphine for 3 nights. Antonia and Charles provided the warmest of welcomes. Make sure to have Antonia prepare a meal for you...delicious. The Estate is very clean and has a fantastic new pool. Very quiet and relaxing. It makes for a great base of operations for visiting the Pitons and other great attractions in the Soufriere... More

We stayed at Chateau Lafitte for four nights on the La Dauphine estate with our two children. It was a very unique experience to stay on a working cocoa plantation. The cottage was clean but rustic. The entire estate is yours to explore, including a short hiking trail and an explanation of how cocoa is grown. Antonia and Charles are... More

We stayed in the former overseer's house for only one night before climbing the nearby Gros Piton the next morning, and found it peaceful and charming, a wonderful antidote to the polished tourist accommodations near Rodney Bay in the north of the island. This place is the real thing, and totally unaffected by the hurricane that hit St. Lucia in... More

Antonia at La Dauphine went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. She came at the ideal time each morning to check on us and gave us daily guidance to make the nest of our stay.
