Brigand Hill is named for the Brigands, the valiant indigenous people who took to the forest and waged guerilla war against the British in the late 18th century (at the same time America was fighting the Revolutionary War), successfully retaking the island and holding it for several months. The villa is situated within the five hundred-acre St. Lucia Estates plantation assuring complete privacy. T
he estate grounds encompass the Brigand Cave (a Brigand headquarters two centuries ago), a wide variety of flora and fauna, a private beach (offshore is the sunken ship "Lesleen", and some of the best scuba diving on the island), even the original plantation machinery. Occupying arguably the best site on the estate, each room of Brigand Hill offers sweeping views of the mountainous rain forest to the east, the Caribbean Sea to the West or the plantation floor below. Brigand Hill is staffed (cook, maid, gardener/caretaker), with skilled, responsive, and discreet individuals of enormous warmth, skill and charm. They want your experience to be a great one and work hard to assure that. Largely thanks to them, the villa is the perfect place to fully and enjoyably embrace the romance and elegance of the real Caribbean.
