Villa Pomme D'Amour is absolutely beautiful-- nicely landscaped, decorated with warm earth tones and local art, gorgeous tile, nice pool and deck. We loved the huge balcony off our the kitchen and living room with its stunning view, and especially appreciated the smaller yet also spacious balcony off our bedroom-- the balconies and lots of windows allow the island breezes to move constantly through the entire space, making it feel so refreshing, relaxing and calm. Nicely appointed little kitchen, everything you need to cook. The proprietors Josee and Pierre are warm, welcoming and accomodating: Josee called and booked for us every activity we wished for and followed up with us throughout the week. She was also very helpful giving us directions so we cold find everything we wanted as we drove all over the island. Our car was delivered to us, and we left it at Vieux Fort airport, very handy. Jovial Pierre picked us up at the airport and delighted us with his extensive knowledge of the island and its people. We (two adults, two teens) were so pleased with our stay at the Villa; we loved it. The central location made the entire island accessible to us with a rental car. Great website at www.villapommedamour.com.

Our recommendations for activities: Scuba Diving with Fair Helen Scuba in Marigot Bay was fantastic! 3 of us were first timers and they made it easy for us (though I am the skeptic and was nervous, it turned out to be my favorite experience.)

Treetop Zip lines were great-- 7 individual lines, exhilarating, great staff, cool place-- the last ride is the best.

Take a Day sail from Marigot Bay-- for $100US per person you can have a private cruise. You can sail south toward Sousfriere, or North (like we did) to Rodney Bay.

The Botanic Gardens and Diamond Waterfall near Sousfriere were gorgeous-- complete with mineral baths! Ask for the private baths if it's busy... there are two tubs around the back to the side of the public ones, they'll let you in there if you are a group of 4 or less.

Find The Mango Tree Restaurant off the main road just past Sousfriere, right before the Volcano/Sulfur Springs. GREAT place with a stunning view of The Pitons-- best food we had the whole week, and very reasonable.

Mygot Bay Chateau/Restaurant in Marigot Bay very near the Villa was too expensive for such small portion size/quality. Instead take the water taxi to Dootlittle's across the bay ($2US for the water taxi) which is more reasonably priced with better portions, but still not great food. They have a palm tree-laden beach, they make good drinks and have pool tables, which is fun.

Great beach: Vieux Fort near the airport. Little cafe right nearby, you can drink/eat, swim, skimboard, kiteboard. Waves galore, very long white beach.

Cultural note: Some men will really work tourists over in Castries and Sousfriere if you appear to be lost--they'll give you the "no-no-no" hand signal as if you are travelling the wrong way down a road, and then get you to roll down your window and give your directions (as in, they'll walk you down the street 20 yards and point you in the same direction you were already heading, and then work on you to pay them for their trouble.) After the second time this happened, we learned to "just keep moving" and ignore them. Kinda reminded us of the guerilla window washers in New York City. They're very friendly, will shake the hand of everyone in the car... and I'm sure they need the money-- no big deal, but it can be a bit disconcerting if you aren't prepared for it.

My husband and I just got back from our vacation in St. Lucia. We spent a week at Villa Pomme D'Amour and had a wonderful time. We have visited many islands in the Caribbean together, and we have always stayed at a resort hotel. This year we wanted our vacation to be different...more peaceful and relaxing. We were not disappointed!

The setting of Pomme D'Amour was breathtaking. We were able to swim in the beautiful pool, snorkel in the cove a short walk away, and enjoy the beautiful, lush landscape without any distractions. Our apartment was very comfortable and we were able to enjoy fthe beautiful view, listen to the waves, and have incredible nature all around us.

Our hosts, Josee and Pierre made us feel so very welcome. They provided transportation from the airport, had provisions for our first morning's breakfast, and welcomed us to the island with rum punch and bruschetta. Josee asked us about what kind of activities we were interested in and made great suggestions. She made reservations for us for dinner and all of the activities we decided on including a full day sailing trip down to the Pitons. What an amazing trip that was...The restaurants were very good, but the Rainforest Hideaway is an absolute must for dinner. It was yummy delicious!!!!

What more can we say? You'll just need to go see for yourself! Josee and Pierre have a true passion for St. Lucia and for sharing their piece of paradise with their guests. Thanks Josee and Pierre for your friendship and hospitality!

“The best place to stay in St Lucia!”

Villa Pomme D'Amour

Jul 1, 2008

A group of us stayed at Villa Pomme D'Amour for 2 weeks in June in one of the two bedroom apartments. All the apartments are clean and well furnished in a caribbean style with everything you could need or want for a comfortable stay.

The view from the balcony down to a secluded cove just around the corner from Marigot Bay is beautiful and we didn't tire of looking at it every day. There is also a shared swimming pool and sunloungers to use whenever you like and Josee and Pierre also were kind enough to let us use their computer and washing machine.

The villa is located within easy walking distance of Marigot Bay with its lovely shops and restaurants, however we also enjoyed taking the 2-man kayak out from the cove below the villa round into Marigot Bay or in the other direction to surrounding coves. Having visited most of the island we felt Marigot Bay had the right balance of local caribbean life and tourist facilities.

On several evenings we cooked fresh food from the market on the BBQ provided - we would definitely recommend trying this with freshly caught mahi mahi!

Our hosts Josee and Pierre could not have been more helpful and did everything from helping to organise trips to showing us around the area and introducing us to local people in the bay over dinner! From the moment we arrived we loved the villa and Marigot but we loved getting to know Josee and Pierre even more. Next time we visit St Lucia (which will hopefully be very soon!) we would not think twice about staying at Villa Pomme D'Amour with Josee and Pierre!

Exceptional! We have visited a variety of Caribbean islands over the last 15 years, including St. Lucia, but our stay at the Villa Pomme D'Amour is our favorite experience by far.

We require privacy and seclusion during our vacations; Villa Pomme D'Amour provided this and more. The proprietors, Pierre and Josee made sure our visit was just as we wanted. They were more than accomodating, yet they respected our privacy at the same time. And we can't neglect to mention Nakai and Doodoo, their welcoming laidback dogs; all made our trip extra special.

The villa is located on a hillside with just a short walk down a path to a wonderful cove where we experienced good snorkeling every day. The view of the ocean from the balcony is magnificient. The villa offers a small, but well-appointed kitchen where we cooked most meals after experiencing a morning at the open air market. Josee goes the extra mile to help you plan your activities on the island and even takes you down south on their Zodiac to experience the Pitons from the ocean perspective. We will return to Villa Pomme D'Amour over and over!

“Amazing, wonderful, relaxing...”

Villa Pomme D'Amour

May 30, 2008

I think of this awesome vacation everyday! Josee and Pierre were wonderful hosts and couldn't be more accomodating. They also gave us space to do our own thing. The other people staying were also great and fun to get to know. We were 2 couples escaping 100"of snow in Maine and it was just what we needed. Picked up at the airport, stopped on side of road for a bite and drink, and to the villa for amazing punch and bruscetta. The site is convienent and you can walk to great snorleling, or just lounge by the pool. We had a car but you can get aroud a lot by road or water taxi. The locals were great and there was much to see on the island. A great escape!
