Villa Petite Bergamote

Villa Petite Bergamote is a newly built cottage close to the shore in Toiny, tucked among sea grape and tropical planting. A sandy path leads toward a calm bay framed by green hills. It was designed with couples in mind, and anyone seeking a small villa in Toiny, St Barts with its own pool and a sunrise view will feel at home.

The cottage follows traditional island style. Pale gray lap siding and white trim wrap the walls, with white X pattern railings and louvered shutters below a dark shingle roof. It rests on a stone base. Inside, the rooms are all white, with painted wood paneling and pitched ceilings. A black steel framed glass partition separates the kitchen from the bedroom. The white kitchen has black counters, and orange towels add a spark of color. The layout feels cozy rather than grand.

The small infinity pool sits off a wood deck, edged by sea grape. Two loungers wait in the sun. On the covered porch, teak lounge chairs gather around a coffee table, so there is shade whenever you want it. An outdoor shower by the door is handy after a day at the beach. Mornings are a highlight here, since the terrace catches the sunrise over the bay.

There is one bedroom with a king bed and built in shelving. The white bathroom has a glass walk in rain shower.

Out on the wild south east coast, Toiny faces the Atlantic. The mood is dramatic and private, with very little noise. The open sea here is rough for swimming, though calmer swimming beaches are a short drive away. If you like this neighborhood, Villa Bergamote is an easy second choice thanks to a palm-shaded pool deck with many loungers.

Couples who want a fresh, simple villa in Toiny, St Barts will find it here. Villa Petite Bergamote can also be booked together with its neighboring sister villa for a four bedroom stay. That makes it easy to travel with family or friends and still keep your own space.
