A hillside gem overlooking St. Jean bay

The term “romana” refers to an extended period of tranquility enjoyed by the citizens of Rome, and there can be no better description for the experience of staying in the newly renovated Villa Romana. Guests at this breathtaking 5-bedroom hillside villa will revel in sensational views of St. Jean’s Beach, luxuriate in ocean breezes, and relax on one of the most delightful terraces anywhere on the island. Villa Romana’s deck spans the entire width of the property and is cleverly divided into a small terrace sitting area, an outdoor dining area that seats ten flanked by a luscious pool, a sun deck with chaise lounges and a covered ajoupa whose soaring white beamed ceilings and plantation shutters make the cozy seating area a respite from the brilliant St. Barts sun. The terrace is accessed from the formal dining area or the comfortable round living area, which is decorated in cooling shades that enhance the spectacular colors of St. Jeans Bay that lies beyond. Both are air conditioned, but also boast glass sliders that can be opened to invite the outdoors inside.  The kitchen is well equipped and sleek, with a breakfast bar that invites convivial conversation over morning coffee and the entire living area is enhanced by a Sonos sound system and offers U.S. Satellite television and Wi-Fi. Each of the villa’s five bedrooms is comfortable and offers privacy and its own thoughtfully designed ensuite bathroom, as well as direct access to the terrace. The fifth bedroom is on the lower level and is outfitted with twin beds that make it perfect for teens or a nanny. Add to all of Villa Romana’s comforts the wide array of concierge services offered by One St Barts and you truly have the ultimate in a luxurious, private escape: from dinners prepared by the island’s premier chefs to arranging for private yacht excursions or spa treatments, it’s always our goal to combine the very best properties with the very best services.
