Sitting in the gorgeous hills of the Terres Basses area of St. Martin, the Villa La Siesta provides show-stopping views of the mountains, the Bay of Marigot and even Anguilla in the distance. Of course, with its gorgeous gardens and grounds, you may only take in the scenery that surrounds you.

The heart of the five-bedroom villa is the lovely swimming pool terrace. Facing the views, it includes a uniquely shaped pool as well as a spa tub. The terrace that surrounds the pool is made of stone and features an array of sun beds and is just steps to the covered portico. Beneath this, you can enjoy the cool shade and savor hours at the al fresco dining area or the lounging spots.

From the terrace, you also enter the villa itself, and it is where you can enjoy the great room with its cozy living room and lounge space. Because this villa has several floors, there are stairs that head to the upper and lower levels from this great room area. The curving stairs take you up to a lounge area, while the other stairs lead you to the two lower bedrooms.

There is a full, gourmet kitchen, dining room, and laundry suite in addition to a half bath on the main level. It is also where three of the bedrooms are found. Each of the bedrooms offers a large, private bath, and each also has access to terrace or grounds. The two lower level suites actually access the gardens. All have large, king or two double beds, and an array of high-end electronics.

The Villa La Siesta offers families or groups of friends that rare blend of privacy, spaciousness, scenery and convenience. Minutes from some of the finest shopping, dining and beach areas, it is also a world of its own that could easily serve as your only vacation destination.
