Stunning Villa in Cap Estate -- Maid Service, Breathtaking Views-Unforgettable

Villa Ivrea is located at the northern tip of Cap Estate and boasts spectacular views of both the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Designed by the American architect Dan F. Sater II and built in 2009 by Wayne Brown D/B, it offers all the amenities required by discerning travelers, beginning with luxuriously appointed bedrooms and social areas, together with outdoor features like an infinity pool, panoramic verandas, pergola and terraced gardens. Bedrooms in the enjoy breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea or both as well as air conditioning. A large panoramic deck invites guests to enjoy the sun just outside their room, while an enchanting downstairs veranda provides the ideal setting for deep relaxation, outdoor dining or simply staying close to the pool and witnessing some truly unforgettable Caribbean sunsets.

Groups of 8 will only receive 4 bedrooms within the main villa. If a 5th bedroom is required for a group of 8, there is an additional $150 per night charge. Groups over 8 will automatically be charged at the extra-person rate.

Gardens: The terraced gardens host an eclectic mix of Mediterranean plants, including olive trees, lemon trees, figs, date palms, bay laurel, jasmine, oleander, and cypresses, complemented by tropical and native varieties of bird of paradise, cannas, bougainvilleas, ginger lilies, sago palms, mango trees and more. Most of the water used for the irrigation of the gardens comes from rainwater harvesting.

Nearby Activities and Services: The renowned Cap Estate Golf & Country Club and Cabot Saint Lucia are just a 5-min drive away, while a 12-min drive will put you in the heart of Rodney Bay with all its different attractions, including excellent restaurants, a world-class marina, shopping malls, pharmacies, post office, banks, etc.

Some restaurants we recommend: Spinnakers (Sunset Bar and Food on the beach), Pink Plantation, The Cliff at Cap Maison, Memories of Hong Kong, Elena's (Pizza like you are in Italy), Spice of India (Indian) Naked Fisherman and Big Chef (Steaks and Wine).

But all this is just the beginning, as the rest of this beautiful island awaits being explored by those interested in snorkeling, hiking, bird watching, scuba diving, sightseeing, mountain biking, deep-sea fishing, sailing, and more.

'Saluti' from Villa Ivrea, where the enchanting warm waters of the Caribbean Sea meet the crisp waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the dancing lights of Martinique greet you from the veranda.

Stunning!
Our group of 4 couples thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Ivrea during our week in paradise. The home was well sticked, comfortable and roomy with enough space for 8 of us to lounge around and also have privacy. Vicky was fabulous and the meal she made for us was delicious. The view from the pool was just stunning and where we spent most of our time. Victor drove us all around and was available every time we called him which was super convenient. Owner met us at check-in to show us around and answer questions was also there to say goodbye when we left. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We hated to leave paradise and look forward to returning one day soon.

Paradise and an Amazing View
Our family of 6 stayed here for 7 days. Space was sufficient for 6. The location, pool, and view are stunning. Lovely gardens, fruit trees, and outdoor grounds are well maintained. We tried to use the grill and found it didn't work. Seemed to not have a gas source. Inside the house the architecture and artwork is impressive. Cabinets are well stocked with everything you need to prepare food and host a group of people. We noted some minor maintenance items in need of attention, which we communicated to the property manager, but nothing you wouldn't encounter on any property. Overall the property was ideal for the trip we wanted to have, providing us with privacy but access to easily get into Rodney Bay and Gros Islet. I would book here again.

Incredible Views, Great Atmosphere
This villa was the perfect setup for our large family with teens and young adults. The home was ideally architected to provide a gathering place that included kitchen, family room, deck and pool area in one continuous open space that accentuated the awesome view from high atop a hill overlooking the Atlantic ocean. Claudette, the property manager was quick to help with any question or need we had. Vicky, the cook/housekeeper, was a welcome addition with laundry, dishes, and meals which allowed us to relax. We would definitely recommend this property to friends and stay here again should the opportunity arise.

Best birthday ever!
I came to St. Lucia with my three grown children and two spouses to celebrate my 70th birthday. It couldn't have been a more wonderful location for us! The Villa is spectacular, and the welcome from Claudette the property manager and Vicky, the cook/housekeeper was sincere and warm. The villa has so much room for all of us to gather, but also plenty of areas where we can quietly go to read or rest. The location was beautifully secluded to make us feel we were not really tourists. The VRBO photos don't even give the full effect of the beauty of this place! Would highly recommend to anyone! Thank you!

Exactly like the listing said it would be
This property was exactly the way it's listed online. Ive Rented plenty of properties using home away and some properties exaggerated a little bit. Miss Bertha did a absolute wonderful job as the house maid. And that Creole chicken and rice and plantains and potatoes that she cooked us for lunch was delicious. Everyone was drinking the Creole sauce like it was soda. The views from the house and the pool were amazing. And I also love the fact that we were closer to town but also away from town. It was so peaceful. I do recommend having a rental. One night we tried calling a taxi and the one guy was on the other side of the island and the number to another guy he gave us didn't know how to get to the villa. Everyone kept asking me how to get to the Villa as if Im from St Lucia. I gave perfect directions from the golf course to the villas and they still had no clue what I was talking about. There was only two complaints that we had. We asked that the two King beds be broken down to two single beds. That did not happen but everyone was fine with the arrangement so we didn't make a big deal out of it. Also, the TV in the cottage did not work. I didn't really care because I don't really watch TV while on vacation. we plan to revisit the island in about 3 years. More than likely we will rebook cap estate.

Amazing villa; amazing views!
The Villa is even better than the pictures suggest. It was spacious, and reasonably well-equipped (for a rental property). Plenty of beach towels and pool towels supplied. And the views were absolutely amazing. A vehicle seems necessary to get to beaches, restaurants and grocery stores. We had an amazing day on a speed boat charter out of the Rodney Bay marina.

Gorgeous Property
Villa Ivrea is a very stately home. As opposed to some Caribbean villas we've stayed in, it was very comfortable. It is located in a very quiet neighborhood, and has a magnificent view of St. Lucia Passage. The property manager and staff were extremely attentive to our needs, and the owners looked to our comfort through VRBO contact messaging to ensure our needs were met.

What a view!
Our week was wonderfully relaxing in this beautiful home. The first floor living space was very comfortable but admittedly we spent most of our stay on the porch overlooking the pool, the flowers and the Caribbean. It was very warm in October so we were able to open the doors and windows allowing the sea breezes to flow through the house. At night, we retreated to our air conditioned bedrooms. As five women, we prepared our own meals whenever we ate in but Berta was always there to help out whenever we had a question or needed something. So, from the moment that Claudette (the property manager) greeted us to Victor (our amazing taxi driver) dropping us off at the airport, we felt totally pampered. And as a major highlight, Lisa prepared a celebratory feast for us on our last night in St. Lucia.

Amazing views!
My Birthday Family Vacation was wonderful! We have a VRBO Rental of our own in Marco Island, so I am familiar with the way things work. This home is lovely! Just as beautiful as listed. The home is very spacious. Air conditioned bedrooms upstairs and nice breeze coming through the entire downstairs. The staff is wonderful. Claudette was attentive to our needs. Bertha is sweet and hardworking. We asked her to join us on our boating adventure to Martinique. Victor provided us with much knowledge of the island and drove us everywhere we asked. We enjoyed family time together and visited Mud baths, zip lines, volcano tour, green buggies adventure, beaches, great dinners and boating. Took some amazing pictures and would definitely recommend staying at this property.

Happy to go back to Villa Ivrea
We rented this property 8 years ago. Went back this time for our anniversary. The property is now even more beutiful. And the view! Almost 150 degrees of ocean view from most of the rooms in the house. The rooms are stunning and have nice and cool AC. Berta made breakfast for us every day and cooked great food. We drove to 4 beaches and went hiking. Villa Ivrea is close to everything. One thing to keep in mind is that groceries are expensive in Saint Lucía. Even if you buy the ingredients and Berta cooks meals for you, you will be spending $$ on food. This is not a negative. Just make sure you know you will be spending around 40-50 USD per person a day if you are eating local.

Perfect island villa with BREATHTAKING views
We are a returning group who absolutely love St Lucia. This trip took us to the Pink Plantation, Tet Paul Trail and Hotel Chocolate. All three venues were awesome. The villa was just freshly painted, air conditioning superb and Bertha cooked lunch for $40 plus ingredients. The black room we nicknamed the icebox, which my oldest son loved. Everything sparkling clean and the property manager a real jewel.

Great experience with good communication. The house manager was exceptionally helpful. Master bedroom was extremely warm And we could not control the thermostat. That is and was the only downside.

Photos don't do it justice
Villa Ivrea was the most spectacular place for our family to spend our week in St. Lucia. I could go on and on about how amazing this house is, and what a great experience I had leading up to our trip communicating with the owners, but I'll keep it simple: Pros: -THE VIEW- by far the most amazing views, we spent 99% of our stay out by the pool and walking the grounds. -Berta: the housekeeper came by every day promptly at 9 am, she also can cook if you buy the ingredients (and for an additional fee). She made the most amazing beef stew, lentils + provisions, and we got home from our tour to a lovely set table and dinner ready to eat. -Proximity to main attractions (Rodney Bay, Gros Islet, Pigeon Island), if you want to do tours you can pick them up in Rodney Bay, grocery shopping at Massy's along the way, beach days at Pigeon Island or Reduit Beach. This home is great for a larger group but still keeps you close to the heart of things. Cons/Things to Consider: - You need a car if you're staying here. This is not a con, it's just a word of caution, we were a group of 6, if we had tried to rely on taxis we would have been hindered in doing the things we wanted to do. We were able to get to dinners/grocery shopping/bank/beach within a few minutes because we rented a minivan for our group. I HIGHLY recommend this! -Sign at the round-about? It's kind of tough the first time getting to the house, it would have been nice to see a bit more signage or even a small sign to indicate that we were close. I also understand this might be a privacy/security issue. -Chef Recommendations from the owners were super unresponsive, which is fine, this isn't Villa Ivrea's fault, but we wish we had known Berta could cook for us for a cost per day. Her rates are reasonable and her food was delicious. -Beds & Pillows: The views from the rooms are amazing and gorgeous, obviously we spent a lot of our time outdoors, but I really think the owners should consider new mattresses/mattress pads and pillows. The only thing that made this feel a little less luxurious was the rough night's sleep. We loved Villa Ivrea, we would definitely come back in a heartbeat and will be recommending it to all of our family and friends.
