Villa Casa Paraiso

In Public, a one-minute drive from Gustavia, Villa Casa Paraiso cultivates an Italian-inspired refinement. Beneath a high sloping ceiling, the clean-lined living room brings together leather sofas and banquettes amid Italian furniture; dark wood, taupe tones, honey-coloured tiles and weathered wood create a setting that is both elegant and cosy. The kitchen, with its bar, serves a dining area set beneath the covered terrace, around a table for twelve. Outside, loungers, banquettes and cushions stretch out in the sun among banana, mango and olive trees; the villa also enjoys a front-row view of planes coming in to land. The four spacious bedrooms, with king-size beds and private bathrooms, sleep eight. A pool, Jacuzzi, gym and wine cellar complete the address, ideal for those who want to stay close to town and its shops.
