Recent guests loved the smooth start to this stay.
Certified to host by St Lucia government.
Super private and provides a secure and isolated retreat far from any crowds! We provide cooking service for breakfast lunch or dinner for an extra $20/person/meal. We incorporate heightened cleaning procedures and trained staff. Built by John DiPol, designer of the world-famous Ladera resort, Villa Piton elaborates on the open-aired concept providing breathtaking views everywhere! Extraordinary location and views that need to be seen in person!

The space
It is certain, this is a place unrivaled. We owe tribute for the architecture to the American designer, John DiPol, who built the Villa Piton as his masterpiece and private residence.

Employing DiPol's trademark “open air"-concept, the home expresses its rich surroundings by fusing the lush natural landscape with native St. Lucian materials and furniture to engender a space without bounds.

The natural gray St. Lucian granite and Greenheart woodwork rise gently from its place, high upon the ridge between St. Lucia's most celebrated Pitons, as if nature had intended it.

Outside the home, DiPol's vision of rolling rooflines and louvered Greenheart Jalousie doors combine sweeping openness with absolute privacy. Subtleties in the architecture play upon the old French mill design, preserving the villa's Old World heritage within its Caribbean overtones. Throughout the inside of the villa the red cedar, greenheart and granite stone couple effortlessly with hand-laid terra cotta tile floors, colorful traditional Italian mosaics and local woodcarvings and sculpture art, adding color and texture to compliment the design.

Guest access
As our guest you have access to all the public spaces within the villa itself and the one acre grounds and lawn. The only locked space is the garage and one small owners closet.

Other things to note
We will help you arrange your arrival shuttle to Villa Piton or provide driving directions if you choose to rent a rental car from HEWANORRA airport.

We offer cooked meals as a service by our cook and housekeeper Mary on the night of arrival or any night of your stay for a cooking fee of $20/person using your supplied groceries based on unit menu choices. Breakfast and lunch are also $20/person.

Villa Piton has Internet service which can be at times interrupted by the fact that our service provider actually wired it on coconut trees! Because of this fact sometimes service is interrupted. The equipment inside the villa is three state of the art WiFi hubs. This normally provides good service everywhere. The router is provided by our Internet provider and is also new.

There are no bath tubs in any of the three baths at Villa Piton but rather hand tiled showers. Three showers in total in three bath rooms.

Where you’ll be

Soufriere, St. Lucia

Villa Piton is one of only a very small number of private homes within the Pitons Management Area, A World Heritage Site designated in 2004. Villa Piton actually is built atop the Piton Mitan Ridge linking the two pitons. The villa is actually between the two mountains and not simply looking at them from afar. This perfect perspective is unrivaled for grandeur and breathtaking views 24/7.

Villa Piton's architect John DiPol was also the original entrepreneur who started Dasheene restaurant which later became Ladera Resort. Villa Piton was John's private residence in St Lucia. We enjoy dining at Ladera as well as Hotel Chocolat across the street from Ladera, plus a long list of local food stands and sit down restaurants depending on our appetite! Many are included in the Villa's User Handbook.

The villa is absolutely located in the center of everything great about southern St. Lucia. One mile from Sugar Beach Resort, 7 miles from Ladera, Hotel Chocolat and the Sulphur Springs or drive through volcano as its sometimes called, and just 8.5 miles south of Soufriere, the ancient capital of St Lucia. There are protected snorkeling preserves in a mile, zip lines and historical plantation tours within 7-8 miles, and fresh fish markets and harbors merely 4 miles south or 8.5 miles north. Better yet, few if any traffic lights or traffic jams to slow you down. This is relaxing and unwinding as it should be. On your terms!
