About this property

Secluded villa with magnificent views of Piton and ocean. 37' saltwater pool.

Our rustic villa is nestled on a lush volcano ridgeline in the Rabot Estate with awe inspiring views of the iconic Petit Piton Mountain, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the Caribbean Sea.

The entire property has been recently refreshed including a new two-side infinity edge 37' saltwater pool with natural travertine stone tiling. Breakfast is included.

Made with local volcanic stone and greenheart teak wood, the main house offers three bedrooms, living room and fully equipped kitchen. Two bedrooms have 4 poster queen-size beds, en suite bathrooms, air conditioning, vaulted ceilings and open onto an expansive 1,200 sft terra cotta terrace with stunning views of the piton and sea.

A smaller loft bedroom at the main house is perched atop a flight of stairs. This room has 4 poster queen-size bed, en-suite bathroom, vaulted ceiling, and cross breeze coming from four sides including a Juliet balcony.

A 4th secluded air conditioned bedroom with its own en suite bathroom is in a separate cottage around 100 feet from the main house near the pool. This bedroom has a covered porch with seating and piton/sea view.

Our tropical estate enjoys a constant breeze blowing directly from the rainforest. The beautiful new 37 foot salt water infinity pool also provides great view of the Petit Piton.

In walking distance down the mountain you will find the renowned Hotel Chocolate and the Ladera Resort. World class Jade Mountain, Anse Chastenet, and Sugar Beach resorts, are all 20 minute drive away. These famous resorts offer access to beautiful beaches and the finest dining in St Lucia.

All beaches are public in St. Lucia and there are many nearby to swim, snorkel and sunbathe. Favorites are: Paradise Beach, at the bottom of the Petit Piton, a ten minute drive. A short distance further, is spectacular Sugar Beach, the only beach between the Pitons. The beautiful black sand beaches of Anse Chastenet and Anse Mamin are 20 min drive. The best scuba diving on the island is also found here.

We are close to St Lucia’s most popular attractions. A three minute drive will take you to the world’s only drive-in volcano, medicinal sulfur and mud baths. A few minutes away are numerous hiking trails, waterfalls, rainforest excursions, zip lining, botanical garden, mineral baths, rum and chocolate tasting.

The modest port town of Soufriere is just 4 kms away where sailing, boat tours, sunset cruises can be easily arranged. There are supermarkets, local bakeries, Farmer Market every morning until 12, drugstores. Enjoy Soufriere’s range of dining options, from international cuisine to local food in the snackettes (snack bars).

Our dedicated staff will take good care of you. House manager Glenda, will serve breakfast every morning, provide guidance and assist with arrangements. Pinel takes care of housekeeping duties, while Jean Phillipe, our organic gardener, oversees the grounds and tends to the swimming pool.

To witness the stunning beauty of St. Lucia, renting a car is recommended. Driving is on the left side of the road, consistent with UK driving rules. Note that the roads are narrow and winding. We can assist you in advance with airport transfers, car rental or private transportation for the duration of your stay.

Breathtaking
This property was more breathtaking than the pictures. Each day waking up I was amazed at the views! The Caribbean the Pitons the birds (especially the hummingbirds!). The flora! Each morning we were created by Glenda and Pinel. Delightful and made the experience even more amazing. You couldn’t find a more enchanting place!!

Lovely holiday
Glenda & Pinel made our beautiful villa in St. Lucia perfect! Even with rain showers, we were able to go out and about and return back to our glorious Piton views! Only downside was that you need use bug spray every evening. The pool was beautiful in the lush green setting.A different breakfast every morning by Glenda was exceptional! She was even able to handle GF/DF dietary restrictions. Many thanks to all!

Wonderful Stay
We had a wonderful time staying at this property in St. Lucia. Communication with Laura (the host) was very smooth, and she even arranged a high chair and pack&play for our toddler. Laura was very clear upfront that the property is not child- friendly, but we had no issues at all. Breakfast with Glenda and Pinel each morning was a highlight. They were able to bring groceries for our first day, which was very nice and convenient. The property is exactly as described - the view is breathtaking. Note that you have to drive to get to restaurants, but there are many within a 15 minute drive. 10/10 recommend!

Incredible Property and Location
My wife and I stayed at Hermitage Cottage for our honeymoon, and we couldn’t have asked for a better property. Glenda and Pinel greeted us each morning with the best breakfasts and fresh juice. They were incredibly helpful, answering all of our questions and offering fantastic recommendations for new restaurants and beaches to explore. The location was perfect – everything we wanted to visit was no more than a 20-minute drive away. Laura was also a great help, providing useful information before our arrival. We are so happy we chose Hermitage Cottage, and we can't wait for our next opportunity to stay at this beautiful home.

100/10 Absolutely Marvelous
Incredibly, the pictures don't do it justice which is also mind boggling. The piton is so much closer and bigger in person. The view, the charming rooms, and the kindness of the staff were the highlight of our trip. We loved being so close to town and the major local attractions, without to crowds of resorts and tours. Glenda was so kind, and a wealth of knowledge each morning when we'd talk about our plans for the day. Breakfast each morning was delicious, and included (depending on availability from town each day) fruit, bread, eggs, and a handmade juice or smoothie. Glenda even offered to cook up and include breakfast meats we bought ourselves and had in the fridge for those who prefer that with breakfast. Weather was perfection, and the mosquitos were manageable. You won't regret staying here, I have no idea how anywhere else we vacation could ever hold a candle, this is such an incredible and magical place.

The pictures do not capture the beauty of this place. Absolutely stunning!! We loved the flowers, the view, and the pool. Glenda and Pinel were so kind and helpful throughout the process. Laura was very helpful and provided a lot of feedback prior the trip and to the end of the trip. We enjoyed our stay and loved the view and the culture.

Amazing Property & Host
This property felt like a private tropical paradise with amazing views of Petit Piton. Both the owner and the onsite manager, Glenda were amazing hosts with great communication before our arrival and assistance during our stay. Hermitage Cottage was one of the most memorable parts of our trip to St. Lucia. When we first arrived we thought it might be too isolated but it turned out to be the best location, close to town and activities but quiet and relaxing when you want it. We would definitely recommend this property.

The Best Honeymoon!
My husband and I stayed at this cottage for our honeymoon and we were blown away by this property! Glenda, the property manager was amazing! Her breakfasts were delicious and she was very knowledgeable about the island. The cottage was perfectly located that we were close to good beaches in the south but still a reasonable distance from Soufriere. We rented a car and are glad we did. We went up island to explore the north and loved that too. The private pool is a dream. Overall, the most memorable honeymoon. Thank you!!

Amazing stay at Hermitage Cottage
Our family of four spent 5 amazing days at the villa over Xmas 2024. Owner Laura and property manager Glenda were most helpful with a wealth of information and introductions to ease us into our St Lucia holiday. The location is excellent for exploring the grand estates in the Soufriere area and the beaches near the Pitons. Meal options were plentiful including Glenda's cooked breakfasts and delivery option from nearby chef Bill - plus top notch restaurants in the area (Rabot, Ladera, Sugar Beach etc). Views and nature were breathtaking. Highly recommended, we hope to be back soon!

Spectacular view on large, beautiful grounds. Everything was perfect. Great value given the scale and charm of the property, close to Ladera / Boucan. Note, the drive to the beaches is difficult, which will be true of any villa not within walking distance of the water.

I can be very brief. It is a dream property. The view is fantastic, the garden is wonderful, the house very well equipped. Only negative is the really bad road leading to the house, but you get used to the bumpy ride. We enjoyed our stay a lot.

Authentic St Lucia
We loved the villa in Soufiere, however owing to the location I would highly recommend hiring a car. The sunsets are amazing and this is definitely a memory that will last for a very long time. Simply sitting in the evening watching these are complete therapy followed by a nighttime display from the fireflies.

Perfect View of Petit Piton
Hermitage Cottage was even better than we could have ever expected. The location provided a wonderful view of Petit Piton and the Caribbean Sea, with amazing sunsets, stars and wildlife. The grounds are maintained impeccably and the pool was delightful. The owners were very communicative and easy to work with and their manager (Marguerite), housekeeper (Mary Jane), groundskeeper, (Ferrard) and gardner, (Ray) were all delightful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hermitage Cottage and are already missing our new feline friends, Cocoa and Luna. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
