Frommer's Highly Recommended

Nestled at the base of Petit Piton, this place 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. Removed from the overrun resort areas, it lies near the little fishing village of Soufrière and close enough to the Jalousie Hilton that Stonefield guests can use the beach there, a free 5-minute shuttle ride away. The estate's plantation houses are surrounded by tropical greenery, and each of the cottages available for rent has its own character and privacy. The estate here has one of the island's oldest sites, a well-preserved petroglyph dating from pre-Columbian times. All the accommodations come with antiques, high ceilings, verandas, bedrooms, full bathrooms with intimate outdoor garden showers, and fully furnished kitchens. Villas range in size from one to three bedrooms.
