Frommer's Highly Recommended

Nestled at the base of Petit Piton, this former cocoa plantation is for escapists. In the southwestern part of the island, it stands on its own 10 hectares (24 1/2 acres), complete with a nature trail and some of the island's most striking panoramas, lying near the little fishing village of Soufrière and close enough to the Jalousie Plantation that Stonefield guests can use the beach there, a free 5-minute shuttle ride away. Each of the on-site cottages has its own tropic-toned color scheme, character, privacy, and rambling verandahs, and each is surrounded with forested greenery. The estate here has one of the island's oldest archeological artifacts, a petroglyph from 350 B.C. Each accommodation comes with antiques, high ceilings, and fully furnished kitchens. Villas range in size from one to three bedrooms.
