‘Planter’s HQ’.

We have replaced the armchairs and table of the Planter’s HQ, between the pool and the dining room, adding greatly the comfort of this space.

Everything needed it has been repainted white.

New.

sheets and linens. = In place.

Refrigerator = Brand new. The old one is in the pantry if needed.

Silverware, plates and glasses = in place. High quality (Limoges etc).

Boom box, I-pod.

Paul & Virginie bedroom.

Redecorated in an elegant but lively style – not overdone.

New split-unit air conditioner installed.

Flat screen television in place. Awaiting attendant to connect the satellite.

Beds: there are now two 100cm x 200cm beds. Pushed together = a king size bed.

The bedding is the same as used by top hotels: Four Seasons, Eden Rock…

The mattresses are semi-firm.

Governor’s suite:

The decoration and several pieces of furniture have been updated.

Beds: the bedding (100cm x 200 cm) has been ordered – two twins or together a king as desired.

Again these are the mattresses and box springs used by the Hotel de Paris in Monaco and the George V in Paris and will be semi-soft.

We wish to emphasize the bedding, for we have made a considerable investment to be able to claim the very best beds in St Barthélemy. No one will have better.

Note that the flat screen television has been operative for a year now with US and Canal+satellite. The suite also offers DSL with Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable.

Joséphine suite:

Flat screen television in place. We are just waiting the technician to complete the connection to satellite.

DSL with Wi-Fi and Ethernet cable connection is installed. This is a separate subscription from the one downstairs. With two different subscriptions we seek to provide unbroken service despite the deficiencies of Wanadoo.

Bedding: one king size bed with a top of the line ultra soft mattress.

It was not necessary to change the air conditioner of the siesta study.

Garden and car park.

The garden has filled out well and is superbly trimmed. It attracts attention and nicely frames the expansive view of the Baie de St. Jean.

All the comments of your clients, whether positive or negative, are most welcome, as are their suggestions. We believe we have managed to retain the ambiance of a charming and intimate yet stylish family home under the palms.

The antique furniture and the fine quality of the decoration make the residence uniquely appropriate to the island.

We dearly love our house and want it to make our guests as happy as it does us.
