The room is amazing and it has one of the best views in St Lucia, as it can be seen in the photos but in reality is much better. It is very clean and well equipped. 4x4 is a must to reach the property but is definetly worth it. Calixte is an amazing host and he can guide you to have the best experience in Soufriere area. We couldn’t have chosen a better stay in St Lucia!

The road to get there can be rather daunting, but is actually fine once you do it

Great view, beautiful garden, very nice owner!

The property was very clean with a really comfy bed and good cooking facilities. The pictures don’t do this place justice, the furniture is traditional and the owner has a farm on the grounds. The view is absolutely incredible and the host lives on the middle floor so is always available if you need him. The property is located up an off road narrow hill. We didn’t have a 4WD but had an SUV and was ok getting up and down just drive slow. Highly recommend a car with good traction

We had the pleasure of staying at this incredible location in St. Lucia and it exceeded our expectations! The view from our room was simply magnificent, with the iconic Petit Piton towering in front of us and sprawling, lush valleys surrounding the property. Our accommodation was equally impressive. The room was extremely spacious and luminous, boasting ample ceiling height that added to the sense of grandeur. And when we stepped out onto the generous terrace, we were treated to breathtaking views of the sunset – the perfect spot to relax and unwind. The owner's organic plantation was a delightful surprise, featuring an array of delicious fruits and herbs, including clover, grapefruit, banana, mango, avocado, pineapple and papaya. While the road leading to the property was a bit challenging for about 100m, our taller vehicle handled it with ease, thanks to a steady and cautious approach. Overall this hidden gem is a must-visit for anyone seeking a tranquil and picturesque getaway in St. Lucia. We can't wait to return!

We stayed at the Belle Etoile site from March 2nd to 9th. The site was completely enchanting and exceptional. Everything is safe. Calixte the owner was very welcoming and gave us an incredible helping hand in finding a suitcase lost at the airport, thank you again. What can we say about the view, quite exceptional.

The most beautiful, serene and idyllic place to stay. The apartment was luxurious and comfortable with all you could need. The spacious terrace was the highlight because of the stunning views in such a tranquil setting. We jumped at the chance to extend our stay from 4 to 7 days. It was simply too difficult to pull ourselves away!.. and we will definitely be returning. Calix was a charming, considerate and accomodating host. He welcomed us with a taste of the fruit from his farm, and gave tips and advice on the local area. The whole experience was a delight.

High incline ramp to the property. However it is very short.

A Breathtaking Retreat with Exceptional Hospitality Belle Etoile is a stunningly crafted property offering breathtaking views of the Pitons, the sea, and lush valleys. Its serene and peaceful ambiance makes it a true retreat. The vibrant flowers that adorn the landscape attract birds and bees, creating a lively and natural haven. Calixte is an exceptional host, providing thoughtful recommendations on restaurants, snorkeling spots, and must-visit attractions. He also generously shared fresh fruits from his farm, including delicious grapefruits and bananas. We even had the pleasure of trying fruits we had never encountered before, such as golden apple, which was a delightful surprise. Belle Etoile served as the perfect base for exploring the area, with all major tourist attractions conveniently located within three miles. We will most certainly be returning!

The villa was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated. The highlight was definitely the stunning view—it made every morning and evening feel magical. The host was very welcoming and responsive, ensuring we had everything we needed.

As Alaskans, experienced with “off road” driving, the final 600 feet up to Belle Etoile was just part of the property’s mystique. We can understand though that for others it could be daunting.

The view was exceptional, so much so that the thought of just setting on the porch all day, taking in the beauty, easily made sense. It was readily apparent that a brilliant mind coupled with incredible care, love, and exquisite taste were harnessed to design and construct such an amazing dwelling. The bountiful fruits and fragrant spices growing on the property further expounded the sensory overload that is Belle Etoile.

Stayed in February 2025

Nothing to complain about at all. I think it is worth mentioning though that it would be very difficult to travel to and from the property without a 4x4 as the climb to get there is very steep and rocky, and without a car in general it would be difficult to explore as there aren’t amenities within walking distance.

The views of the Petit Piton are exceptional. The location is well positioned to lots of the tourist spots in the South, most are accessible within a 15 minute car drive. The room was exceptionally clean, well appointed with everything you would need and spacious. The host was very welcoming, helpful and made our stay a pleasure, arranging our car booking for us made it completely hassle free.

Beautiful setting with awesome views. Felt as though we were staying in a geninue local area, away from the tourists. The apartment was tastefully designed and spotlessly clean. The owner is such a friendly, interesting guy, who cannot do enough to help you. Thoroughly enjoyed a guided tour through his self sufficient farm. Shared his fresh grapefruits and homemade Sorrel drink with us. Thankyou.

Located in a countryside, very close to the beautiful beaches in soufiere. The room was very clean and comfortable, and the kitchen is well equipped. The host is lovely and goes above and beyond, he helped us with a car hire, taxi and provided recommendations

Belle Etoile exceeded my expectations! The photos simply don't do this house any justice. The house is set in the hills in a quiet rural location. You can see about three other houses in the distance, apart from that it is you and the nature and the Petit Piton right in front of you! The top floor bedroom for two has the best position in the world - from your bed you have an unrestricted postcard view of the mountain and the sea behind it. The sunset was beautiful. We had a full moon during our stay and made a point of getting up at 3 am to enjoy watching the moon moving over the sea. Then the sunrise made the Piton pink... I could go on and on :-) Anyways, the room itself was huge, with tall ceilings, well equipped kitchen and large modern bathroom. One of the best features was the absence of an air conditioner. The house is cleverly designed to have plenty of shade and air movement. We had to close windows at night as it was borderline chilly. Having fresh air flowing was much more enjoyable than an air con. And last but not least, Calixte is a great host, happy to share his local knowledge and very helpful with anything you might need. Pre-arrival communication was exceptional, he really wants you to have a smooth trouble-free vacation. The house is easy to find, it's only last 100 meters or so unpaved, but well worth the climb. Big 'Thank You' Calixte!

There is nothing, in our opinion, that was inadequate or not up to par with our expectations.

We absolutely loved the accommodations in general, the view is astounding and the property is well kept. Calixte is a gracious host, and he made us feel welcomed and at home. The bed is very comfortable, and the kitchen is well equipped for cooking in.

The location is a little hard to get to because of the hills and the road. If you have a vehicle, I would suggest something like a 4 wheel drive. Getting drivers was a bit tricky and expensive.

The place was great and the views were exceptional. The host was very helpful and friendly. I would definitely stay here again.

Our four-night stay at Belle Etoile Villa was absolutely unforgettable! The highlight had to be the breathtaking views of the Piton right from our balcony—it felt like a dream waking up to that every morning. The apartment itself was beautifully designed, incredibly spacious, and furnished with great taste. The bed was super comfortable, making it hard to leave each morning. A special mention goes to Calixto, the host, who was warm, friendly, and always willing to help. He made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. We truly wish we had more time to stay and enjoy this little slice of paradise. One thing to note is that a 4x4 car is essential for reaching the property and exploring the surrounding area. The rugged terrain adds to the charm, but you'll need the right vehicle to get around comfortably. All in all, we couldn't recommend this place more and can't wait to return!

Calixto was an awesome host, friendly and helpful. The place was great value for your money. It does require a 4 wheel drive to get there, but it was well worth it. The sunsets on the balcony were great.

This is just Info: be aware that last 200m are steep to reach the house by car. Unpaved road. We did it with small Toyota but a car with higher clearance (e.g. Suzuki Jimmy) is recommended. 4x4 is not a must, my view.

One of the most breathtaking places we were to. We enjoyed the great Views every morning! The host was very helpfull and helped us with anything we needed, even told us stories and explanations. The beautifull forest surrounds the place all over and you can feel the breeze. Even, we were given fresh papayas and bananas from host :). All the attractions and beaches are within 20min drive. The placed is well furbished with new furniture.

The requirement of renting a 4-wheel drive vehicle should have been on the website. The driveway to the property was very rough.

You will need a 4x4 to get up to the property. This wasn't at all a problem but worth mentioning if you're coming in a hire car. The road is bumpy and steep but absolutely fine (and only the last 1 minute of the drive) and our little Jimny managed fine.

The location is amazing! We couldn't get enough of the view. It's absolutely stunning. The property is spacious and has everything you need for a lovely break. Calixte was a great host - we loved hearing all about the fruit and veg that he grows on site and we were lucky to try the guava, bananas and papaya. Delicious! There isn't any aircon at the property but you don't need it as it's cooler up in the mountains with a lovely breeze. The bed is really comfortable and the bathroom is huge. If we return to St Lucia we would definitely return to Belle Etoile - we loved every minute of it and were sad to leave.

The road up to the house is quite bumpy, just make sure you have an AWD car if staying here!

Calixte was an awesome host and made sure we were well taken care of while here. The view from the room was one of the best views I've ever had in my life and the spot itself has more than enough to make you feel right at home. Highly recommend!
