Elegant and Luxurious Villa on Gros Piton with a spectacular views of Caribbean


Maison des 'Etoiles is an architectural masterpiece sitting on the northern face of the Gros Piton, a World Heritage Site, and is the highest Villa. The three-sided home is built of Greenheart wood native to the rain forest and volcanic rock which bubbled to the surface millions of years ago. If you love to go natural, this is the vacation home of your dreams. The home is artistically decorated with carvings from local artists which blend into the rich deep wood grains of the Greenheart. This is a truly unique home which you will only experience once in a lifetime.

The expansive view from the villa's multiple decks unveil one of the world's famous World Heritage Sites, consisting of the heavenly blue Caribbean Sea, the cliff of the Gros Piton and the majestic Petit Piton. The two Piton Mountains are the symbols for St. Lucia and Maison des 'Etoiles is enveloped in this spectacularly beautiful mountainous setting. A true Nature Lovers Paradise!

The home has an expansive living room with a volcanic waterfall as its central theme, one master bedroom with its own sitting deck and full bathroom, and two guest rooms which share a second bathroom. The second bedroom also has its own sitting area and spectacular view. All bedrooms enjoy a panoramic view of the Caribbean Sea and Sky. A full-sized dining room seats eight as candlelight flickers in the light ocean breeze. The bathrooms are a combination of volcanic rock and natural wood. Enjoy a sizzling hot shower while hearing the birds singing outside. There is a third-story tower which can be used as a sitting area or sleeping area. At night reach out and touch the personal star you are making a wish on.

Newly remodeled Kitchen is a chief's dream. Our guest consistently rave about Mary's cooking for them. Come and enjoy a relaxing vacation with wonder local food being cooked for you if you are interested.

Our guest consistently note that the pictures do not capture the true splendor of the Villa and it's spectacular views.

My family's favorite house ever
We loved the house! I don't have much to add that isn't already covered in other reviews. The house is truly a work of art and as much as my family enjoyed exploring Saint Lucia, we all agreed that the house was the highlight of our trip. Thank you again to the owners for sharing this unique place.

Great spot! Amazing views, the open air home felt very close to nature. Our friend did get a lot of bites, but she said totally worth it! Seeing a rainbow over the Pitons as you wake up in your king bed is quite the experience! Check in was great and Mary and the staff were very helpful and polite. Highly recommend booking this paradise of a spot

One of a kind view/house
The house has an incredible view. Features an open house concept which was both unique and enjoyable. Bedrooms had fantastic views. Pool was nice. Good kitchen to cook, the grill is propane and no longer requires charcoal so while we purchased some as the description stated to, it was not necessary, I wish that was updated. Home caretakers were friendly.

Best vacation ever!!
The villa is absolutely magical. The views are incredible. And Mary and Pius are exceptional. Mary’s cooking was the best! Any time we had any questions, Pius was always there to help. The sounds of breeze at night made for some of the best sleep I’ve had in years. St.Lucia is filled with so much beauty and rich with so much history. I really can’t say it enough, best vacation ever!!!

Stunning and Unique
From the first correspondence with David to the experience at the property with Pius and Mary was a pleasure. Amazing views and lots to see on the island. Only negative was the 6 days of rain but it is a rain forest after all and did not keep us from doing any of our planned activities……

This house is gorgeous! We had an amazing stay with our family of five (3 kids ages 4,5, and 7). Pius and Mary were wonderful! We spent most of our time swimming/snorkeling at sugar beach! We were there over New Years and could see the fireworks from the beach up at the house which was a fun surprise! Hope to come back some day!

That View!!!
Wow! Pulling up to this incredible home with incredible views was a beyond my expectations! I’m a beach girl and waking up to these views may have changed my mind a bit. Mary and Pious were so sweet and willing to answer questions we had. Easy access to the Gros Piton which is a bucket list hike accomplished. Enjoyed our stay !

Relaxing and beautiful!
The villa was perfect for our family as we love nature and peaceful, quiet vacations. Mary and Pius were an awesome team and helped us when we needed it while giving us privacy. Mary's cooking is excellent and we recommend taking advantage of the welcome dinner on the first night. Sleeping in open air was extremely relaxing and the sounds of the frogs at night and birds, goats, and roosters in the morning were an unexpected and welcome experience. The property is remote so if you rent a car, take note that driving on the winding, narrow roads will be an adventure. We would love to come back some day!

Dream vacation on St. Lucia, the most beautiful place on the whole island!
It was a really wonderful holiday! The house and the surrounding area are simply unique and the view is an absolute dream. Marry and Pius are super nice and take good care of the house and the property and if there are any questions or small problems the two were immediately on hand and very helpful. For us four it was an unforgettable and beautiful holiday and if we have the opportunity again, we will be back any time. Many thanks to David and Patricia for this unforgettable stay in this amazing villa in this incredible environment. we already miss it ☺️ and thanks again to Marry and Pius who took care of us so well!

Amazing tropical retreat!
We booked our Christmas vacation and picked Maison des' Etoiles... the pictures are accurate and it is amazing! The temps were great and the open-air vibe of the house worked well. It was a bit stressful getting there from the airport in our rental car, but after a few days, we acclimated to the driving challenges in St. Lucia and found our way around just fine... unlike the US, frequently honking your horn is a friendly way of saying "hi there" in St. Lucia! Bring a good book and relax with all those amazing views! Thanks to Mary and Pius for taking good care of us!

Stunning view
My husband and I booked this house to celebrate our anniversary. We wanted seclusion and relaxation and this house did not disappoint. This house is absolutely stunning. The views from different vantage points in the home all offer different scenery. The open layout was amazing. Bugs were not bad, only some harmless lizards hanging around. The temperature was not bad either, ceiling fan above the bed made sleep very comfortable. The pool was great and refreshing. Mary and Pius were very helpful when we needed them but also respected our privacy which was appreciated. We played reggae on the speakers located throughout the house for a beautiful island experience. We would love to return in the future.

One of a kind - wonderful stay
Echoing much of the themes of previous reviews: wondeful, architecturally intriguing house, Mary and Pion are great, walked down to the Gross Piton trail, as well as to a beach. Had a wondeful time, and would not hesitate to book again! But a couple notes that weren't negatives for us, more like tradeoffs to keep in mind: - open air is great, but middle bedroom doesn't have as consistent airflow as other main bedroom, and is subject a little more to humidity. Half our nights were great - half were less so, had to move a fan from unused bedroom and/or sleep a little in the downstairs room w A/C to cool down before going up to bed. - will be a 15-20 min drive away from groceries / restaurants, and most any activity. Island is very geared toward serving guests at resorts, day-trips from cruise ships etc. so things like roadside stands, local gathering spots etc for independant travelers were not common here, so we're at house more than what we planned - which is not a bad thing! Like I said everything at the house was as-shown/-promised, if not better! If the house interests you, and can handle moderately bumpy roads with British-based driving, do it!

Magical villa on Gros Piton
The villa and location are gorgeous! Everything I wanted to do was within 25 min driving distance. Mary and Pius made our trip special and stress free. Pius alone, makes it worth renting the villa! He drove us, made dinner reservations, scheduled a massage therapist, got a birthday cake, cleaned our car...nothing was too much to ask! He did things without us asking and made it look easy. Mary is the heart of the house and we enjoyed her cooking several nights. She also did laundry, changed sheets and towels and did our dishes. We greatly appreciated them both and are lucky we got to meet them! They made our trip easy. The villa is sprinkled with lizards and a bit of magic! We didn't have any issues with bugs. Don't hesitate and rent this place! The view is one for the books! It would be difficult if you don't enjoy nature or if you have mobility issues, there's a lot of stairs. We loved our stay!

West Indies paradise
The property lived up to the pictures and reviews. The house is beautiful and the open air design is great. We had a great time. Pious and Mary were very helpful. The views and the vibe created just the mood and experience we were seeking. Felt like the South Pacific in the Caribbean. The only thing I would tell prospective renters if you are driving yourself is to be prepared for sketchy road approach to the property. Narrow roads with tons of potholes took a lot of getting used to. We were pretty frazzled with the drive on the first day, but it definitely got better as time went on and I learned and adapted how to drive the roads and it became fine. Since we had an active schedule kiteboarding, scuba diving and wanted to be spontaneous/explore, we needed to have our own car. But if you wish to relax more in the house or avoid Pious will be able to take you around and avoid the driving and get the best of both worlds.

Remote but world class view
This house is so unique and special. The views of the pitons are indescribable. The things we most enjoyed- the view, especially yoga from the crows nest, also the stars, having evenings to watch TV in an air conditioned media room, pool days, meeting Mary and Pius and enjoying Mary’s cooking and Pius driving, naturally waking up to the daylight coming in. We ate went out for dinners at Ladera and close by soley kouche. Both were awesome. Things to know- we drove and also had Pius drive some. Wish we had gotten a 4 wheel drive but we made it without. Also adding Pius to rental insurance. The roads are rough and steep getting to the house and all over the island. The house location is awesome but know there it is highest house on mountain and not much close by. Thankfully Mary and Pius check in often and Pius answers what’s app quickly. We had some mosquitos and lizards but not many other critters. Just take bug spray. It is humid in St Lucia and even with the fan above the bed I was glad I took a portable small fan for night. Sugar beach is closest beach- I would personally not have wanted to walk there- very steep road. We drive down the road and parked on the side of the road closish to the beach. The beach is public, but the resort staff and bar aren’t the most welcoming if you are not staying at resort. Overall this place is so unique and amazing especially for the nature lover and we had such an adventurous but also relaxing time.

Hidden gem with abundant views
We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and couldn’t have picked a better location to stay. David was quick to respond to all communication. Mary & Pius were a true pleasure and very helpful during our stay. After a long day of travel, Mary’s welcome dinner was simply amazing. We wish we would have reserved another night ahead of time to enjoyed more of her cooking. The pics simply don’t do this place justice. The architecture, & attention to detail that went into building this place is incredible. We weren’t sure what to expect with the open air concept, but we were pleasantly surprised and had no issues with bugs. The evenings were cool and comfortable once the sun set, & the pool was refreshing after spending the day hiking and snorkeling in the sun. The view from the master bedroom & the observation tower is unreal, but there isn’t a bad view from anywhere here. The bathrooms with all of the stone and rock were the coolest! Many people spoke of needing ear plugs due to the sounds of nature at night, but we normally sleep with a white noise machine & didn’t need one and didn’t mind the noise at night. With the sun rising earlier here, & no way to block out the light we were always up way earlier than typical so if I had to do it over again, I would bring a sleep mask. I would MOST definitely recommend going to Soley Kouche for dinner one night. The view was great, drinks were yummy, & the food was spectacular!!
