Dear Sandro,
We returned from Villa Susanna a few days ago and have taken some time to digest the wonderful week we spent on your magical property. Thanks to you and your lovely wife for creating such a paradise. Not a day went by when we did not notice a new architectural detail, piece of art, sculpture, plant or something unique over the acres of property.
The villa and experience exceeded our expectations. When you come in March you will see 2 review in your book. One in my native Afrikaans and one in English. They tell the story.
I must add some words about your magical staff: Ann in charge of the housekeeping and general house was a sweetheart who took amazing care of us and especially my Mother-in Law who was not so well. She displayed so much love and caring and did a magnificent job in making sure the house sparkled. She cares about Villa Susanna as if it were her own home.
Lucella – not just a cook but a maestro in the kitchen. She has the sweetest soul and smile and we fell in love with her. We used her probably 4 or 5 times for dinners and each meal was more superb than the last. These 2 ladies are the heartbeat of the experience and could not have been more warm or lovely. We miss them.
Captain Roy! We enjoyed the boat twice and he took great care of us. A man of few words but a beautiful and caring soul. He selected for us a fish from a local fisherman whilst on the water. Lucella cooked it on the bbq to perfection. What a highlight! Roy went out of his way to assist and guide us…and he is an amazing Captain.
Sandro – use of the boat is a very nice and kind addition/ We really loved seeing St Lucia from the water J Thank you!
Darlene – a joy to work with and so very nice & caring. A delightful and professional young lady.
Sandro – you have assembled a superb team at Villa Susanna. They are a huge part of the success and you can feel very proud in the way they look after your guests.
In total – fantastic and unforgettable.
Un enorme grazie!!

“I don’t think it would have been possible to have a more amazing time! The staff was out of this world, The Villa was the most amazing piece of property imaginable and the weather was just phenomenal. We were extremely fortunate to have gotten to spend a week of our lives there! ”
“This property was unreal. To think it was just in a possible top option now baffles me. It’s the only option. This place could rent easily for twice as much. Words cannot describe…and I’m pretty picky with high standards. It was like having our own mini-resort. There cannot even be a close 2nd to this property.”

We rented Villa Susanna for a week in July, and I must say it was amazing. The architecture, the staff, the location and the food, all beyond expectation. I’m very happy that we chose this villa to have our wedding. I recommend anyone who is traveling to St-Lucia to enjoy this amazing island while having the chance to stay at Villa Susanna. By the way, the boat and the captain (Roy) were great, we went fishing and snorkeling at Sugar beach. I wish you all a great vacation to Villa Susanna!

We spent a week at Villa Susanna at the end of March 2018. A group of 8 with 4 adults and 4 teens for Senior Year Spring Break. In summary… OUTSTANDING! I have no doubt that Villa Susanna will EXCEED your expectations. Browse the website. Absolutely beautiful. In fact, the villa is more spectacular than the photos can convey. The exterior design and construction details, the expanse, the interior design and the physical setting are all impeccable. Every detail has been addressed. Completely open air ( if you choose), first class furnishings, incredible views, great location, OUTDOOR SHOWERS (also if you choose), and a wonderful staff complete the experience. Absolutely more than we expected. Lucilla (Cook), Ann (Housekeeping), and Roy (Driver and Captain) truly made the week. Special THANKS to them.

Villa Susanna is a spectacular and very special place. This luxury villa consists of several different structures, including a main house, which has a stunning stone entryway, as well as a very large kitchen and beautiful large living room and dining area. This space is graced with a beautiful Italian touch, including fixtures made from the famous Murano glass. Most of it is open to the outside, so the lovely gardens and local plants are visible from just about everywhere. The villa is clearly designed to bring the outside in. The living area leads to a gorgeous pool and gazebo, just perfect for viewing the sunset. The rest of the villa consists of three separate buildings, one containing a beautiful master suite offering a sweeping view of the pool area and the ocean. The two other buildings, each with a gorgeous view, contain a master suite and separate twin room. These buildings are nestled into the hillside, making the villa an integral part of its environment, blending perfectly into the surrounding natural world. Villa Susanna is truly a beautiful paradise that is unlike any luxury accommodation I’ve ever experienced. It has a special feeling that makes guests feel relaxed and happy. You can tell that its construction was a labor of love, with every detail carefully planned. I highly recommend Villa Susanna to anyone wanting a luxurious tropical vacation. I was so sad to leave and will definitely go back.

Villa Susanna is one of the most beautiful caribbean locations I’ve ever seen in my life. It is the perfect place to cuddle yourself and your family in contact with nature , the ocean and the wonders of the Caribbean. I spent two amazing weeks with my wife and my son and I sure hope to do it again soon.

We have just arrived back in New York after our stay in Villa Susanna with our friends and family from England. We made some comments in the visitors’ book, but I thought we should send you an email to let you know that we had a wonderful time, to convey our thanks, and most importantly to let you know that we think that you have created something quite remarkable and very special. We have stayed in many villas in many countries, but Villa Susanna stands apart.
The setting for Villa Susanna is of course spectacular, but the design of the Villa is superb. It maximizes the views, and the open plan living area in conjunction with the three separate suites allowed for our large group to never feel crowded. There are so many private and inviting places to sit and enjoy the weather, the hummingbirds, the view and the flowers. It was like having our own private hotel. So happy were we at the villa, that we hardly went anywhere – except for our two boat trips with Roy to snorkel on your magnificent motorboat.
We also highly commend your staff. Lucilla produced excellent lunches and dinners for us all, Anne and her assistants kept the place neat despite our number, Nina was very efficient and the rest of the staff were unobtrusive.
It was not just the design of the villa, but also its Balinese furnishings that we felt were wonderful. It was difficult not to feel as if we knew you, such was the insight the furnishings gave us into your taste. Particular things that impressed us included the huge and imposing dining table (what is the wood? How much does it weigh? How did you get it there?), the dramatic entryway glass chandelier (how on earth did you get that there in one piece?), the many interesting art objects and the stunning gardens and omnipresent flowers (the orchids sprouting from coconuts strapped to the palm trees, for example).
It was of course very hard to leave, and we all would love, dollars permitting, to go back there one day. Even if we never do, please know that it was a privilege to celebrate my birthday in such a place, and to receive our thanks for the opportunity to enjoy it. There are few places about which the word paradise can justifiably be used. Villa Susanna is one of those places.

Dear S & S,
I wanted to sincerely thank you both for our glorious stay in your beautiful home.
It is truly a magical place, with beautiful views, fabulous spaces to relax in, interesting and tasteful art work and gardens that shimmer with colour and wild life.
The attention to detail and care with which the Villa has been built and maintained is something I’m sure you’re very proud of so thank you again.
I also wanted to compliment you on how well the Villa is run with particular thanks to Ann and Lucilla who not only are lovely people but very professional and capable ladies as well.
Our rooms are always impeccably cleaned and Lucilla’s cooking has been of the highest standards.
We’ll all be very sad to end such an unforgettable holiday and leave St. Lucia and its friendly welcoming people and hope to return one day in the not too distant future.
Until then thank you again from all of us who will cherish the time we’ve spent together here in this little jewel of paradise…
Kind regards,
DS
This is Villa Susanna!
Villa Susanna is situated on the edge of the Caribbean Sea in one of the most romantic and picturesque bays in the Caribbean: Marigot Bay, Saint Lucia.
Andy Warhol once said: “I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want to own”.
The search for a unique holiday destination begins and ends here. Mr. Warhol would have been proud of the conscientious effort to achieve total harmony in the style and expression of this Villa as it relates to the natural environment. Every facet of the construction considers the climate and the soothing comfort offered by the prevailing breezes which sweep continuously over the property.
There is a perfect blend of comfort, casual living and sophistication to create that unique magic, peace and comfort that you want from a vacation.
Villa Susanna provides the comfort of a first class resort with privacy and flexibility in the scheduling of activities for a couple, couples, families or group of friends.
Thank you so much for visiting our website. We built this home as we enter the sunset years of our life. We have been fortunate to travel the globe and we have been fortunate to make friends all around the world. For whatever reason you choose Villa Susanna as your next vacation stop, we sincerely believe that you will enjoy it as much as we have and as much as we intend to. We are proud to be part of St. Lucia and our hope is that experiencing the beauty and tranquility of this gorgeous island, its cheerful and fun loving people, you too will want to keep coming back.
