15 Reviews of Property 923638 in Cap Estate, St Lucia

We really found this island to be a great time. The villa made it a wonderfully comfortable and classy stay with a hypnotizing ocean view. The ocean view out the front door and across the pool during dinner was something else. You just don’t see this very often. We went swimming and snorkeling 5 minutes away and fishing off the rocks with the kids. Hiking is everywhere. The Piton's were closed when we were there but we managed to find zip lines nearby where we high up in the trees. We found ourselves to feel very safe and I was pleasantly surprised how friendly and courteous the local people where on the island. The vacation here was really a treat.

The house is as beautiful as the pictures online, Bertha was awesome, friendly and ready to do anything asked of her. She made us delicious breakfasts and told us about the island. The only complaint I would have about the house is that the water pressure was extremely low, if you had long hair it would take a long time to rinse shampoo. The pool was wonderful, it was a little cool but after sitting in the hot sun it was refreshing.

We had a wonderful time in St Lucia. The people are so kind. The villa has great views, a nice ocean breeze and really comfortable outside furniture. The kitchen has everything you need. We had a little problem the first night but the property manager dealt with it right away. She was really easy to deal with.
Thank you for sharing your home, we would stay here again.

La visuale da Villa Ivrea al mar dei Caraibi e splendida. Dalla sala da pranzo ti sembra di essere sul mare. I terrazzi, le camere, i tinello, soggiorno non si puo dire niente perche e tutto spledidamente luminoso e bello. Anche i terrazzamenti sono mediterranei. Le persone del luogo sono molto afabili. Le insenature sono uno diverso del laltra. Alcuni con lussuosi alberghi e altri pui semplici.
Si posono fare molte escursioni sul isola. A noi e piacuto molto zip-lining e la scalata di "Tet Paul trail." Abiamo potuto tocare con mano banane, ananas, mango coco, le piante del ciocolato, e altre piante particolare. Dovete vedere la baia di Marigot e l'isola de piciconi. Dvete venire!!!

My friends and I stayed at Villa Ivrea in January 2012. We booked it after seeing it on the internet and conversing with the owners and property managers. The pictures do not do it justice, the place was absolutely stunning. The decor was Italian-themed, well decorated, and completely furnished. The view from the pool terrace was of Martinique, and beautiful blue waters of the Atlantic and Caribbean. The view was absolutely amazing.

The house and grounds were gorgeous, exactly like the pictures. The villa itself was extremely clean and the property was well maintained. The kitchen was very well equipped with anything you may need. The house had wireless internet, as well as a good sound system. Many of the rooms had tv's.

The house came with a maid and chef, Bertha, and her services were excellent. Her meals were very good, and maid services were of very high quality. She had a very pleasant personality and was helpful when asked touristy questions which I'm sure get old.

The house manager, Carmen, was also very good. She was attuned to our needs and concerns and followed up with action when necessary.

The recommended driver, Victor, was very good. He was timely and professional and also doubled as a great tour guide, full of helpful suggestions.

The house was very secure and was surrounded with a large barbed-wire fence...not that it needed that kind of security; it was required by code. The driveway had a large iron security gate. Walks around the 'neighborhood' were very nice, felt totally safe and we enjoyed the gorgeous mountain views.

Only problems we experienced were with the microwave which was not working, the built in safe in the master suite that was broken and could not be opened, and the main entrance security gate. None of these issues were a big problem at all, although Carmen was very attentive and offered to address the microwave issue before our arrival, if need be.

The pool water was a little dingy when we arrived, but Carmen had the pool service to the house immediately and addressed the problem. Due to the constant cross winds, the pool water was pretty chilly and we did not go in it much although the temp was in the 80's. We were a little disappointed with the water temperature, but swam at the beaches nearby and that was wonderful.

My only suggestion was to heat the pool or add a hot tub. We would absolutely go back, if you are going to Cap Estate in St. Lucia, this place is a gem.

This property was fantastic and perfect for our annual vacation with friends. The weather was gorgeous, the island is lovely and the people are super friendly. Bertha (the housekepper and cook) and Carmen (the proptery manager) were always very friendly and helpful whenever we had questions, as were the strangers during any of our outings around the island. Victor, our airport driver was also a wonderful guide. Fro the rest of the trip, we had our own car and we found driving to be fairly simple.

The house itself was comfortable, felt safe, and had up-to-date electronics that met all of our needs. Bertha made great food, and the kitchen was great for us to prepare fun meals. Our only complaint is that due to the strong winds up on the cliffs, the patio pool was too cold to enjoy. We would recommend a solar cover for the pool or adding hot tub somewhere on the property.

Also, we highly recommend Rodney Bay Marina and Village, Pigeon Island beach and national park, and also renting a water taxi to go down to Soufries. In Soufries, we highly recommend the mud baths at the sulphur springs - it was fantastic!

Our overall experience

It was wonderful to wake up to a breathtaking view of the sea in such a beautiful home. We had a great time in our week at the villa. Bertha, the cook/housekeeper, was easy to work with and provides a great meal. It is so nice having meals prepared, no worry about where to eat and you know it will be good. Also gives you more time to just relax around the pool and enjoy the view, several of which was a stunning sunset as the villa is located up high enough so nothing really obstructs the view. The villa had just about everything you need. The bedrooms were very nice, of course, master was extra special. The reading room upstairs was great as provided ac, so we played games and other entertainment in the evenings in cool comfort. Downstairs without ac was still comfortable as the paito doors all opened up to allow a good breeze. Pictures of villa are very accurate. You will enjoy your stay here, we certainly did. Would recommend an auto to get around, Driving a bit challenging, but not too bad. Recommend doing the zip line as short and easy drive and is in the rainforest, which is wow. Then back to the villa for a refreshing beverge, as you relax on the patio and and take in view. Rodney Bay is also close and has many great restaurants for the unfortunate time Bertha the cook is on a day off. Also, feel comfortable in knowing if you have any problems or questions, Carmen the manager, will be at the ready to take care of you. You will not be disappointed with your stay at Villa Ivrea.

Wow, what a lovely relaxing vacation. Villa Ivrea has the best water views you can possibly imagine. The place is absolutely gorgeous; with all the comforts of home. Bertha, the maid/cook is quiet but ultra efficient. Her meals were such a treat. We tried lots of her local dishes, and the plantain lasagna. We will definetely tell our friends about our find in St Lucia
