Imagine stepping out early in the morning onto a sunkissed balcony and gazing over a sparkling blue ocean. That's exactly what the start to every day at Dolce Vita offers. Located in Gouverneur on the tiny island of St Barts, this enchanting four-bedroomed villa is the perfect retreat for up to eight guests. It's a villa where tranquillity, serenity, and a more laid-back approach to life help you to relax, surrounded by the wild beauty of St Barts.

Secluded, unspoilt, and lined with sugar-soft white sand, Gouverneur Beach is one of St Barts' hidden gems. This endless stretch of pristine sand hugs the rugged coast without a building in sight to spoil the natural wonder of this special location. The crystal-clear water is just right for swimming and snorkelling. After a day spent soaking up the sunshine, it's time to drive into the island's capital of Gustavia, where you'll find gourmet dining and plenty of evening entertainment.

Dolce Vita overlooks the bay and is shaded from prying eyes by thick tropical forests and exquisitely manicured gardens. Those views are on display at every turn, from the indoor-outdoor layout of the living areas to the serene bedrooms. Spread across two levels, the villa offers every amenity you could wish for. The living and dining areas, both indoors and outside, provide you with a choice for where you spend your downtime and family meal times. The sleek kitchen is fully fitted with every amenity, while the outdoor dining space includes a BBQ for more informal get-togethers.

Four bedrooms all have king-size beds and simple yet elegant interiors, and easy access to the garden or terrace. Attractive ensuites are attached to each room, with rainfall showers so you can greet each morning refreshed and ready to explore more St Barts delights.

Outside, the large garden is the ideal spot for an early-morning yoga session or to simply find a shady spot where you can curl up with a good book and a cocktail. The heated infinity-edge pool shimmers in the sunlight, inviting you to dive in and cool off or get a few laps in before breakfast. Under the covered terrace, you'll find a relaxed social area for those evenings under the stars. Dolce Vita is everything you could wish for in the ultimate St Barts villa.
