Villa Bellissima
Description
A sophisticated one-story retreat, Villa Bellissima is ideally situated atop Gouverneur, where glistening Caribbean sunsets and endless sea blues meet.
This three-bedroom home, which is thoughtfully spread across a main pavilion and a separate guest bungalow, combines spacious indoor areas with ample terraces to provide the easy rhythm that visitors adore in St. Barths: light, breeze, view, and seamless indoor-outdoor living.
Open, airy, and effortless living and dining
The horizon takes center stage as soon as you enter the main pavilion. Lounge and dining are combined into one easygoing, view-forward area as the light-filled living room, complete with a comfortable sofa, armchairs, a flat-screen TV, and a well-curated library, opens wide to a covered terrace. Light and sound are enhanced by the whitewashed, vaulted ceiling, and the calm, cool atmosphere is maintained by the soft trade winds.
Perfect for mid-day snacks in between swims, chef-assisted dinners at home, or breakfasts before the beach, the well-equipped kitchen wraps a central island with seating adjacent. Meals can seamlessly transition from candlelit evenings to sunny lunches thanks to the spacious indoor-outdoor dining area that can accommodate six people.
Living Outside: Where the Day Develops
With loungers positioned for all-day sunbathing and book-in-hand lounging, the heated infinity pool front and center seems to tip into the ocean. A BBQ deck off to the side invites casual grilling sessions with chilled rosé, fresh local fish, and the famous Gouverneur sunsets that bathe the terrace in gold. Everyone finds their ideal spot, whether it’s the sun for a midday nap or the shade for conversation, thanks to the open and covered areas.
Bedrooms: quiet, adaptable, and private
Up to six people can stay in Villa Bellissima’s three air-conditioned bedrooms, each of which has a separate bathroom.
The main pavilion’s primary suite is a calm haven with a queen bed, plush linens, lots of storage, and direct access to the terrace for morning views and quick swims.
For guests or kids who require flexibility without sacrificing comfort, the Main Pavilion Guest Suite features twin beds that can be made into king beds.
A private suite separated from the main pavilion for extra privacy, the guest bungalow is ideal for grandparents, a couple looking for peace and quiet, or a nanny traveling with the family.
After days in the sun, deep, restful sleep is guaranteed by whisper-quiet climate control, blackout treatments, and crisp linens.
Design Remarks: Modern Simplicity
The villa’s design is simple and coastal, with natural textures, clean lines, and a muted color scheme that lets the surroundings take center stage. Accents reverberate the sea and sand without overpowering the view, and the furnishings are tasteful yet comfortable. The daily rhythm—swimming, snacking, siesta, and aperitif—flows smoothly because circulation is intuitive: from living to terrace to pool and back again.
Location: Nearby, The Best of St. Barths
The island’s necessities are just a short, picturesque drive from Villa Bellissima, which is perched above Gouverneur Beach. These include St-Jean’s shops and bakeries, Gustavia’s harbor and restaurants, and well-known beaches. When you go back “home,” the hillside opens up to that expansive view of the ocean, with trade winds calming the air and the sky changing from coral to indigo.
