I have published my last post about Saint Barth for a while… It was exactly on May 28, 2007. Quite a long time ago! On the other side, in 25 days, we will be again in Saint Barth for about 3 weeks. So, I should really now begin to enter this “period”, step-by-step.

I know that I am making some of you quite nervous with my “Saint Barth” posts. Sorry guys, nobody is forcing you to read them ;-)

In the Part I, I have introduced our travel and talked about the “terrible” weather there ;-). In the coming posts, I will write about our villa (part II), the beaches (arrgggg, part III), the restaurants and the shopping (part IV), the fauna and flora (part V), the harbor and some boats (part VI), some sunsets (part VII) and a conclusion (part VIII).

If you would like to have a look at my flickr-set about this travel, you can go there. 113 pictures, also available in their original size (3072×2304).

The villa TEO

Last year (in 2007), we have decided not to go in a hotel as the first two times (Hotel La Banane and François Plantation). Not that these hotels were bad or something like that. This time, we wanted to test a stay with a villa renting. There are quite a lot of possibilities and different renting agencies. We have decided us for the “historical” real estate company of St Barth, called SiBarth. Huge choice of villas on the wimco website, very precise descriptions which correspond to the reality. Very good service.

We were at the villa TEO, which is quite new and absolutely beautiful.

Top ten reasons to come and stay in villa TEO:

1. It is very comfortable, charming and private
2. The views on the ocean, the boats, the Corossol Bay and the offshore islands are just TERRIFIC. We are missing them…
3. The infinity pool is just great! So cool in the afternoon after some hours on the beach.
4. The wood terrace is amazing, open, with dramatic 180° views.
5. The sunsets are just … spectacular!And different every day.
6. The little garden is welcoming you, with beautiful and colorful flowers, and its very nice fountain.
7. The BBQ (a Weber…) is just great.
8. We have seen one iguana (a grey one) many times. As some colibris. Cool experience.
9. The kitchen and overall furnitures are modern, stylish, comfortable.
10. Thanks to the orientation of the villa, the whole terrace is “under the sun” about the whole day.
