Villa Au Paille en Queue strikes the perfect balance between modern luxury living and laid-back elegance. Located in the picture-perfect St. Jean neighborhood of Saint Barthélemy, this villa stands out in every possible way. It has designer interiors and some of the best views of the Atlantic you can get from the hills. The villa gets its name from the white, long-tailed paille-en-queue bird, which is often a common sight here. It’s an elegant bird that flies majestically in the blue sky. It’s a fitting name for the home that is a star attraction in the hills of the French Caribbean.
This rental property sits on a hill away from the beach, which can get crowded during the peak tourist season. So, it’s a great choice if you want privacy and prefer to stay away from the crowds. But the nearest beach is still close. You will be able to walk down in only 10-15 minutes. And thanks to its hilltop position, you are rewarded with a gorgeous panoramic view. The view is often better from a distance. Au Paille en Queue is also a modern home where you will find everything for a comfortable holiday.
It’s a small home with just 2 bedrooms for 4 guests. So, you can stay here as two couples, as a family with kids, or as a group of close friends. The first bedroom has a four-poster king bed, Apple TV, wardrobe with hangers, seating areas, and a make-up mirror. One entire wall has a glass panel that provides gorgeous hill and valley views – this is the striking feature of this room. The second bedroom is located in a separate bungalow and can be reached only from the terrace. It is much like the first. The only difference is in the bed. It has a modern double bed. It opens to the terrace.
Both the bedrooms have a minimalist décor, which ensures that you will have more space. This subtle approach allows the surrounding nature to take precedence. The ensuite bathrooms have showers.
Just outside the bedrooms, you will find a fantastic terrace, which is a favorite with all the guests. It overlooks the hilly terrain and blue Atlantic. At the farthest corner of the terrace, close to the edge of the hill, you will find a private swimming pool, which will be exclusively for you and your group. Go for a quick dip or spend hours lazing in this remarkable pool. There is ample lounging space on sun beds for all four guests.
You can also lounge and relax in the shaded corner of the terrace. There is a lovely nature-facing sofa with a modern coffee table. Under the shade, you will also find an elegant outdoor dining table for your alfresco meals. What a way to have your meals with the Atlantic in front of you!
In keeping with the villas’ harmonious setting, the living area is rendered in soothing shades of color. It’s a place where you want to spend quality time with your family or friends. The best place to indulge in a movie night is the stylishly sunken sofa in this fully air-conditioned room. Apple TV and audio equipment will provide seamless entertainment throughout your stay. Glass-screened sliders open to the covered deck.
The formal dining table is just behind the sofa. It sits all the guests. The modern kitchen has a blender, gas grill, coffee maker, and other appliances.
Your stay in Au Paille en Queue is made enjoyable by the professional staff. You will get daily maid service, except Sundays and French holidays. The pool and garden are well maintained. Towels and toiletries are provided in the bathrooms. The bedrooms have safes. You will also find an iron and an ironing board in the house.
Villa Au Paille en Queue is up in the hills of St. Barth. But the beach area is not too far away. It’s a gentle walk of 10-15 minutes to the Saint-Jean Beach, where you will find tennis courts, a stadium, and several cafes and restaurants. The airport is also located here. For food and drinks, you can go to Gyp Sea Beach Club, Le Piment, and Nao.
