Villa Ti Moun is one of those rare properties that offers views so captivating that the beauty of the house almost goes overlooked. From a secluded Lurin hilltop high above the picturesque harbor of Gustavia, you will enjoy an unparalleled vista of the blue Caribbean Sea with Statia, Saba, and St. Maarten in the distance, and of course St. Barth's spectacular sunsets. Combined with the comfort and convenience of this recently renovated home, Villa Ti Moun's unique location will likely make this your favorite spot on the island.

The villa itself reflects a keen understanding of design with a holiday lifestyle in mind. The main living area opens out onto a two-tiered hardwood terrace, an inviting and refreshing pool, sheltered outdoor dining, and chaises for relaxing in the sun. The kitchen is open and convenient, so mealtimes can be social even before you sit at the table, with plentiful counter space integrated with barstool-style seating for guests. A Bosch pro-quality range in the kitchen and a Weber gas grill on the terrace mean that no recipe is out of the question.

The living room offers comfortable seating for six on plush, white sofas, a full HDTV system with U.S. and French satellite, DVD, and Bose sound with an iPod dock. A decor of fine art photos, a vertical wall-garden, seashells and the occasional splash of bright color lends this living space a calm and inviting ambiance. In the evening, with the lights of the harbor below and the stars above, the atmosphere is simply magic.

Villa Ti Moun's two master bedrooms are situated on either side of the main living area, providing privacy while still enjoying the fabulous views and easy access to the terrace and pool. Each bedroom has its own ensuite bath, decorated with travertine tiles and fitted with quality fixtures and rain-head showers. A third bedroom one level down from the terrace offers greater seclusion, with its own small terrace with outdoor seating and views of the harbor and the surrounding garden of jasmine and flambouyant.

Truly a St. Barth gem, Villa Ti Moun gives its guests a range of qualities and features that are not often found in one single property. It offers a spectacular view along with a great degree of privacy. It provides the efficiency and clean, modern lines of a new villa in the comfortable and convenient form of a more traditional St. Barth home. Any newcomer to Villa Ti Moun soon understands why it is one of those special places that guests come back to again and again. Villa Ti Moun will win your heart.
