À propos de cet hébergement

A typical Caribbean plantation house, with superb panoramic ocean views.

La Plantation des Manguiers (Mango Plantation) dates back over 100 years. It has all the hallmarks of a house built to make the most of the climate in years gone by before air conditioning. The windows sport big heavy shutters and there is no glass, allowing the balmy trade winds to flow through the house. The sheltered wrap around veranda stays cool from morning to night protecting the interior from the heat of the day. From this sleepy veranda you can relax whilst watching the world go by in the distance. The commanding view changes constantly, with sailing boats, small planes, cruise ships, the changing colors of the sea and the sky all offering entertainment. On a clear day Martinique can be seen, sometimes so clearly that you feel that you could swim there! The interior of the house is elegantly decorated and furnished in keeping with the 'plantation' style wherever possible and is comfortable and inviting whilst still offering all the mod-cons to ensure a relaxing stay.


The villa is owned by Chef Jacques and his wife Cathy. They also own Jacques Waterfront Dining Restaurant which recently re-located to Rodney Bay on the Waterfront at the entrance to the Marina and is open lunch and dinner every day and brunch on Sundays.

In addition, wedding receptions, birthday parties; in fact any celebration can be arranged at Jacques or catered to the villa. There is a private waterfront deck at the restaurant for larger groups, discounts to villa guests apply, contact Cathy.

Transportation : La Plantation des Manguiers is situated close to Castries the buses are regular. From Castries it is possible to catch buses to anywhere you want to go but be prepared for loud music and being a little squashed! The buses generally don't use air conditioning either, so it is hot but breezy with the windows open. Also please note that the walk to and from the house is for those who are of an above average fitness especially in the heat.

We live half way down a one way road with a bus stop at the top and the bottom. The walk to the bus stop from the house is all down hill. Coming back to the villa it is possible to get off the bus at the top of the hill and walk down the road to the drive way to the villa, however the drive is quite steep and would be challenging to those who do not walk on a regular basis especially in the heat. In this case I would recommend hiring a car. NB. Please contact Cathy for further information on special car hire deals.

Airport information: La Plantation des Manguiers is 21 miles or 1 hour 20 minutes by car from the international airport Hewanorra, which is situated in Vieux Fort in the south of the island. Helicopter transfers are available between Hewanorra and George FL Charles airport in Castries which is only 10-15 minutes by car from the villa. George FL Charles also has flights coming in from other Caribbean islands and flights that connect through Peurto Rico from the USA. Airport transfers are suggested and can be arranged, contact Cathy.

Beautiful House, amazing views and Wonderful Host
The historic Mango Plantation is a beautiful, picturesque house on a hillside. It has a great view overlooking the bustling City of Castries and its Port. We were there over New Years and watched the fireworks from the veranda and could hear the city enjoying themselves. The house was clean, well equipped, and comfortable. The dogs were very gracious hosts welcoming us returning from our explorations. The lot was secluded and private though would recommend a 4x4 or AWD to drive the short distance from the road to the house. The owner, Cathy, was extremely helpful with recommendations and we enjoyed dinner at her restaurant Jaques. Any drive from Castries North could take longer than anticipated due to traffic depending on the time of day. The local cuisine on the Island was excellent. Cathy’s recommendations of The Naked Fisherman and Anse Chastant (Soufriere) stood out (reservations are recommended). St. Lucia is a wonderful island.

Heaven on earth!
The Mango Plantation will forever be remembered as a heaven on earth experience! The location and the property grounds are beautiful. The house is rustic but so comfortable and had everything we needed to just stay put and enjoy living right where we were! The master bedroom was comfortable and so lovely to wake up just before sunrise in. The kitchen was well-stocked and a delight to cook in, and the veranda… well, let’s just say that we spent almost every waking minute enjoying the view, the breeze, the birds, and the lizards. Reggie and Ella were wonderful companions for our afternoon happy hours and were always a joy to see coming (this is coming from people who are not really dog people). We were so grateful for them sharing their time with us. We loved the sounds of the city of Castries below. Castries was actually quite delightful; bustling with the friendliest people. Our only regret was that we did not get a chance to meet Cathy in person as she was away for family during our stay but she kept in constant touch through WhatsApp for every question we had during and prior to our stay. When we arrived, we were expecting to have a once in a lifetime experience and by the time we left, we were making plans for our "next stay". For anyone who wants THE IDEAL, real vacation getaway from the sanitized and corporate "resort" vacation, I highly recommend staying at the Mango Plantation. It will give you the quintessential 5 star experience!

The view alone is worth the stay!
This historic house is beautifully maintained and a pleasant fit for our group of four adults and six teens. It is close to everything and the view is gorgeous. Cathy is amazing to communicate with, and there are two wonderful host dogs to make you feel at home. It safe and cozy, with an alarm and electric gate. No air conditioning, but you won't miss it. You will need a rental car and a 4 wheel drive is strongly encouraged as the road up to the house is in rough shape. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit.

À propos de l’hôte

Hôte : Cathy Rioux

Image de profil de l’hôte
I was born in Nottingham in the U.K. and spent part of my childhood in Yorkshire, Guernsey in the Channel Islands, and Oxfordshire. I studied Hotel Management at Bournemouth University in the UK. I have traveled extensively since then working on a cruise ship, in Bahrain in the Middle East and Sudan in Africa, eventually settling in St Lucia 28 years ago with my husband Jacques who is French, and our two children who were toddlers at the time and now live in the UK. We originally came to St Lucia as Jacques was offered a job as the Executive Chef at Anse Chastanet Hotel in Soufriere. Four years later we decided to move to Castries and open our own restaurant. 'Jacques Waterfront Dining' was located not far from the house in Castries until July 2011 when it was destroyed by fire. Jacques re-opened on 11/11/11 in Rodney Bay in a fabulous waterfront location with views over the Marina.

Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement

I will never forget the first time that I saw La Plantation des Manguiers (Mango Plantation for short). I was teaching English to children in a French school here in St Lucia. One December another teacher and I decided to teach the children English Christmas Carols and organise a bus tour around each of the children's homes to sing their newly learnt songs to their families. One of the children lived in Mango Plantation at the time. The bus driver dropped us at the bottom of the drive and we walked up the drive with the children. When we got to the top of the drive the view just took my breath away (or what was left of it after the steep climb) a lover of Caribbean architecture I instantly fell in love with the wooden plantation house and said to my friend 'If I ever live in Castries, I want to live in this house' I never thought another thing about it until a few years later we met the family that was currently renting in the house, we became good friends and we spent happy times there visitng them. As they were getting ready to leave St Lucia, Jacques and I were getting ready to open our restaurant in Castries and needless to say we jumped at the chance to rent the house. We lived in the house for 9 years and asked the owners if we could buy it several times eventually they agreed. We absolutely love our house and we know that you will too!

Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique

Plantation des Manguiers is a typical Caribbean Plantation style house. The foundations date back over 100 hundred years. The wooden part has been renovated over the years but by all accounts has been kept true to the original style. The view is superb. We never get tired of sitting on the veranda and watching the ever changing sea and sky. We look out over the City of Castries to Pigeon Island and beyond. On a clear day we can see Martinique so well, you would believe that you could swim there! The lights twinkle at night. We live only minutes from Castries but the house feels secluded, there are neighbors but we can't see them, and they can't see us.
