Our family stayed at La Bagatelle, in Soufriere St. Lucia. La Bagatelle is a private, serene gorgeous Villa that gave way to a wide open floor plan both upstairs as well as downstairs. The view of the Pitons, ocean, gardens and surrounding land is absolutely spectacular. Aesthetically, La Bagatelle is a breathtaking, clean, impeccably kept Villa with strategically placed plantings that is surrounded by stunning wrought iron fencing and clean open air. While we experienced a cool cross breeze throughout the Villa, ceiling and oscillating fans are also available for added comfort. We had absolutely no issues with bug control throughout the day or at night. While sleeping at night there were beautiful nets that surround the antique canopy beds that we could easily unfolded if at all needed.
Each of us discovered that the daybed on the upper level was wonderful for lounging for a daily afternoon nap as was lounging and relaxing on the deck, in the hammock or by the pool. La Bagatelle’s free WiFi is strong. The new TV allowed us the opportunity to watch satellite broadcasts as well as play a variety of old CD movies in the cabinet. There is basic as well as island reading material and old fashioned table/card games available. For our outdoor entertainment, La Bagatelle supplied us snorkeling equipment, beach towels and backpack chairs. If needed, La Bagatelle also has basic toiletries and first aide supplies.
As a team, La Bagatelle staff is above and beyond reproach. We found them all to be a delightful, articulate, attentive, responsive, hardworking, staff with wonderful etiquette whom respected our privacy while tending to our requests/needs and the chores around the Villa.
Weather was a perfect “ten” each day. While we adored lounging at La Bagatelle, we did venture out to see the island. We mudded ourselves up in the therapeutic Suplhr Springs, ziplined and hiked to the waterfalls in the Rainforest as well as hiked through the Botanical Gardens, we frolicked/lounged/snorkeled (beautiful colorful fish- scuba and fishing optional but we ran out of time)/swam/practiced yoga/mountain biked at the beautiful beaches and explored the town of Soufriere. In downtown Soufriere, there is a beautifully renovated market. We drank delicious smoothies at Zaka’s and sat at a small new courtyard.
Overall, we found the La Bagatelle magical and the people of St. Lucia to be polite and respectful. Thank you Team La Bagatelle without a doubt, we will be back!!!
