The route to Villa VNS takes you through a blessedly off-the-beaten-track St. Barth neighborhood, the hilltop region of Petite Saline. You approach the property by ascending a road from the islands interior, so when you arrive at Villa VNS you are stunned to see that you have found your way to a home with one of the best sea-views on the island. Far from any of the islands thoroughfares, this property offers peaceful seclusion while still being only a few minutes from Saline beach and the village of Lorient.The long driveway meanders up under a canopy of flambouyant trees to the entrance to the villa, where a short double staircase leads you to a wide arched doorway. Villa VNS is constructed in a modified classic Caribbean style, with a traditional white clapboard exterior and a clean modern interior. You enter directly into a spacious central living area, the walls adorned with an admirable art collection and the floor made of gently worn marble tiles that calls to mind a stately Tuscan palazzo.
