A typical Caribbean plantation house, with superb panoramic ocean views.

La Plantation des Manguiers (Mango Plantation) dates back over 100 years. It has all the hallmarks of a house built to make the most of the climate in years gone by before air conditioning. The windows sport big heavy shutters and there is no glass, allowing the balmy trade winds to flow through the house. The sheltered wrap around veranda stays cool from morning to night protecting the interior from the heat of the day. From this sleepy veranda you can relax whilst watching the world go by in the distance. The commanding view changes constantly, with sailing boats, small planes, cruise ships, the changing colors of the sea and the sky all offering entertainment. On a clear day Martinique can be seen, sometimes so clearly that you feel that you could swim there! The interior of the house is elegantly decorated and furnished in keeping with the 'plantation' style wherever possible and is comfortable and inviting whilst still offering all the mod-cons to ensure a relaxing stay.


The villa is owned by Chef Jacques and his wife Cathy. They also own Jacques Waterfront Dining Restaurant which is located on the waterfront in the Rodney Bay Marina.

Transportation : La Plantation des Manguiers is situated close to Castries the buses are regular. From Castries it is possible to catch buses to anywhere you want to go but be prepared for loud music and being a little squashed! The buses generally don't use air conditioning either, so it is hot but breezy with the windows open. Also please note that the walk to and from the house is for those who are of an above average fitness especially in the heat.

We live half way down a one way road with a bus stop at the top and the bottom. The walk to the bus stop from the house is all down hill. Coming back to the villa it is possible to get off the bus at the top of the hill and walk down the road to the drive way to the villa, however the drive is quite steep and would be challenging to those who do not walk on a regular basis especially in the heat. In this case I would recommend hiring a car. NB. Please contact Cathy for further information on special car hire deals.

Airport information: La Plantation des Manguiers is 21 miles or 1 hour 20 minutes by car from the international airport Hewanorra, which is situated in Vieux Fort in the south of the island. Helicopter transfers are available between Hewanorra and George FL Charles airport in Castries which is only 10-15 minutes by car from the villa. George FL Charles also has flights coming in from other Caribbean islands and flights that connect through Peurto Rico from the USA. Airport transfers are suggested and can be arranged, contact Cathy.

A slice of Heaven!
This was our second stay at Mango Plantation, and it certainly won't be our last. As soon as we arrived, we felt like we were returning home. Reggie and Ella greeted us as we drove up, and hung out with us each day. They are completely unobtrusive, and wonderful company. There is nothing Cathy & Jacques haven't thought of to make the house a home. From reading, relaxing, and having brunch and happy hour each day on the veranda, to having coffee at daybreak on the lounge chairs in the yard as the bats come home, our stay was once again magical. An added bonus was an exquisite dinner at Jacques Waterfront Dining. The food and service were outstanding - a five-star experience. Vigie Beach is a short drive from the house and is beautiful. The city of Castries delighted us once again with its friendly people and delicious food. We loved visiting the market every few days to get fresh veggies and fruits, and preparing our meals in the well-stocked kitchen. The island, particularly this property, is an amazing, gorgeous getaway. Don't miss this slice of Heaven!

A Heaven on the Hills
Our second time in St Lucia, this time with kids. We had a great time at Kathy's place. The house is beautiful and so much better that the pictures. Caribean farm house with beautiful touches. It has all amenities you need. Very nice view to the ocean and close to beaches. Kathy was very easy to intract and communicate and we had no issues communicating with her. We went to viggie beach, naked fisherman beach, Reduit beach, zipline in rainforest.... and enjoyed all. One general thing to know when you go to St lucia is the roads are very steep, hilly, and narrow, so if you deicide to rent a car and drive be prepared. Right side driving wont be an issue as you will get used to it. We all loved St lucia and will back again.

Beautiful House, amazing views and Wonderful Host
The historic Mango Plantation is a beautiful, picturesque house on a hillside. It has a great view overlooking the bustling City of Castries and its Port. We were there over New Years and watched the fireworks from the veranda and could hear the city enjoying themselves. The house was clean, well equipped, and comfortable. The dogs were very gracious hosts welcoming us returning from our explorations. The lot was secluded and private though would recommend a 4x4 or AWD to drive the short distance from the road to the house. The owner, Cathy, was extremely helpful with recommendations and we enjoyed dinner at her restaurant Jaques. Any drive from Castries North could take longer than anticipated due to traffic depending on the time of day. The local cuisine on the Island was excellent. Cathy’s recommendations of The Naked Fisherman and Anse Chastant (Soufriere) stood out (reservations are recommended). St. Lucia is a wonderful island.

Heaven on earth!
The Mango Plantation will forever be remembered as a heaven on earth experience! The location and the property grounds are beautiful. The house is rustic but so comfortable and had everything we needed to just stay put and enjoy living right where we were! The master bedroom was comfortable and so lovely to wake up just before sunrise in. The kitchen was well-stocked and a delight to cook in, and the veranda… well, let’s just say that we spent almost every waking minute enjoying the view, the breeze, the birds, and the lizards. Reggie and Ella were wonderful companions for our afternoon happy hours and were always a joy to see coming (this is coming from people who are not really dog people). We were so grateful for them sharing their time with us. We loved the sounds of the city of Castries below. Castries was actually quite delightful; bustling with the friendliest people. Our only regret was that we did not get a chance to meet Cathy in person as she was away for family during our stay but she kept in constant touch through WhatsApp for every question we had during and prior to our stay. When we arrived, we were expecting to have a once in a lifetime experience and by the time we left, we were making plans for our "next stay". For anyone who wants THE IDEAL, real vacation getaway from the sanitized and corporate "resort" vacation, I highly recommend staying at the Mango Plantation. It will give you the quintessential 5 star experience!

The view alone is worth the stay!
This historic house is beautifully maintained and a pleasant fit for our group of four adults and six teens. It is close to everything and the view is gorgeous. Cathy is amazing to communicate with, and there are two wonderful host dogs to make you feel at home. It safe and cozy, with an alarm and electric gate. No air conditioning, but you won't miss it. You will need a rental car and a 4 wheel drive is strongly encouraged as the road up to the house is in rough shape. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit.

If you would like to stay close to Castries and the north of St. Lucia while enjoying a lot of privacy, this is the place to book. Communication with the owner Cathy was easy and you get all the required information for a smooth check in. The view from the house is breath taking. The house itself is very spacious and well equipped, including the kitchen. It is recommended to rent a 4x4 car (small SUV) as the road to the house is quite bumpy (but not an issue to drive there, it is only for a short distance). Reggie and Ella, the two lovely dogs, enjoy good company and will „ask“ you to play with them (hint: there are some toys next to the main door). Overall a very nice place that I would recommend to my friends.

Cathy was amazing from the moment we booked and throughout the stay, really prompt in replying and couldn’t have been more helpful. The house is beautiful and felt home from home, very comfortable and everything there that you needed. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and equipment. We loved having Reggie and Ella visit us every evening, keeping us company on the veranda. It is really well situated for all the island has to offer, beaches, snorkelling, zip lining, hiking, swimming, local markets (great for fresh fruit and veg), bakery at the bottom of the hill. We loved sitting in the garden watching the birds, lizards and hummingbirds. An absolutely amazing place to stay with lovely hosts.

Relaxing and wonderful
The enticing photos do not do justice to the full beauty of this place. The ever changing view from the veranda is indeed stunning but the house is not overlooked and the gardens surprising secluded, and dare I say we have no tan lines! The description mentions no window glass, the climate never needs it, and the owners have gone to a great deal of trouble to make the whole residence one of the most secure I have stayed in the Caribbean. We both needed a relaxing break and boy did this deliver. You will find everything you might want in this terrific plantation house. The shelves are well stocked with novels, films and board games and all the kitchen equipment is at hand for a grand cook-out or barbecue. We were both pretty exhausted after days discovering beaches, waterfalls, smelly volcano and mud baths and swinging from forest tree to forest tree to explore the thousands of tv channels. We especially liked watching the bustle of Castries and port far below whilst eating our dinner out on the veranda at dusk and watching the stars slowly appear. But the best bit was the welcoming greeting we got from the owners’ dogs Reggie and Elsa every time we returned from a trip. They were the greatest entertainment and treat and we miss them so much I think we’ll have to go back soon... Sadly we never made it to Jaques restaurant but other must-do places are the Pink Plantation for lunch, coconut bread and coconut turnovers from the Morne Bakery, cocktails at Agnes Bar just before the entrance to Pigeon Island National Park, sunset dinner at Hotel Chocolat (remortgage required) and great wholesome dishes at Mama Tilley’s in Laborie near Hewannorra Airport for when you arrive and leave (~EC$25 each) and a 4x4 to do it all (though not straight after Agnes Bar).

TERRIFIC STAY!!!!
I must say that this is truly the most unique place I have ever stayed! BEAUTIFUL REAL DEAL Caribbean cottage with a spectacular view overlooking Casteries and the Caribbean Ocean. SO AWESOME! Now if fancy swanky resort living is your preference, then you might not be as carried away by Ms. Cathy's beautiful home as we were but if you want to truly unique experience that is true Caribbean then I think you would love it. The house will make you feel like you're in a romantic movie. LOL. Ms. Cathy was absolutely awesome in every aspect also. Great suggestions on how and what to do while in St Lucia. The only drawback at all, which has nothing to do with the house, property or Ms. Cathy at all, would be the city of Casteries. It can feel a little sketchy in areas and at times, but we always felt extremely safe and comfortable at home. Thank you Ms. Cathy for a wonderful stay!!!!

Beautiful view
We enjoyed staying at Mango plantation! Every morning we would sit on the veranda and enjoy the beautiful view and feel the nice breeze. The villa is surrounded by fruit trees- we picked coconuts and sour oranges for juice, there are mango and banana trees also but not ready to be picked when we were there. Cathy was very nice and accommodating, whatever we needed she arranged for us. She was a great host! We had all the privacy we needed, we would walk to Castries, Vigie beach and La Toc beach- it is quite a good workout since the area has fairly steep hills but we enjoyed it (most people either arrange a taxi driver or rent a car, there is also a bus transportation available). The nights are usually warm, we definitely took advantage of the fans provided. Also keep in mind you are surrounded by nature (you can hear cicadas at night, you will be visited by small birds, geckos and ants if you leave food lying around). Definitely pack a mosquito repellent is was helpful to have one. If you are interested in an authentic island experience you won’t be disappointed! We loved the villa and the garden and the view and Cathy is a great resource when it comes to exploring the island and will quickly help arrange whatever you need! Thank you Cathy for all you did for us!

Mango Plantation - St. Lucia
We really loved "This Old House". It had so much character; a very classy act for sure! The house was well equipped and comfortable. Cathy was so helpful in so many ways especially giving us directions, as St. Lucia is a little lacking in signage. We got lost a few times, but the locals were always willing to help us out and get us back in the right direction! Vigie Beach was the best beach (on the other side of the small airport in Castries) We really enjoyed the tram ride through the Rain Forest, the volcano, botanical gardens and water fall in Soufriere.

Quirky Caribbean Masterpiece
Wonderful house in an unforgettable location. Living in this old St Lucian house was, for four weeks, an experience we will never forget. It’s historical character was both quirky and above all comfortable providing a real feel of the Caribbean, which is so sadly lacking in modern day apartments and hotels. The view from the veranda overlooking Castries and the sea beyond, was both amazing and unforgettable. The house was very well equipped for everyday living complete with barbecue and fresh oranges from the garden...what more could one want! Cathy and Jacques were the perfect hosts who could not do enough for us. We had two fantastic meals at their water front restaurant... highly recommended. The boy can cook!! Other local restaurants, the Pink Plantation and the Coalpot, are also very much worth a visit. As the house is located off the beaten track a 4x4 /SUV vehicle is a must. Although we hired our own through Islander cars (who were excellent) Cathy was very helpful in providing us with information on local car hire companies. Overall the holiday was first class and highly recommended.

A wonderful place to stay
We chose Mango Plantation for our recent stay in St Lucia. Its a lovely, authentic old plantation house, and was perfect for our needs. The house offered all we needed for our stay, and the garden and surroundings were perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sunshine (and humming birds). As others have mentioned, access to the house is not straight forward, the roads are quite challenging, and a 4x4 is strongly recommended, although we just about managed with the normal car that the hire company delivered. The trip to Soufrieres is well worth making, and Pigeon Island was also good. Castries itself is a little disappointing, but the market offers fresh fruit and veg, and there is a supermarket next to the market for other provisions. Cathy is a good host, and made sure that our arrival went smoothly, and was on hand for advice and help on what to see and do. She also kindly gave us a guided tour of the local surroundings, which was a massive help for us finding our way around.

The best time ever!!! We've rebooked for next year.
My husband and I stayed two weeks at the Castries Plantation House. The house is charming and the views are stunning. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything since the owner is a chef on the island. While we were there, the mangos were ripe and I would go out every morning to collect our delicious bounty. We had more mangos than we could eat by the time we left. There was a dog, Maya, whom we loved. We are cat people in the states but Maya provided an extra layer of enjoyment during our stay. I hope she misses us because we miss her. Cathy was great and suggested some interesting things for us to do besides diving. They do own a restaurant, so they know all of the nice places to eat and visit. We visited her restaurant about 3 times and each time was better than the last. All in all, it was nice having a friendly contact on the island. The house is close to the town of Castries, and we were close to outdoor vegetable and fruit and fish markets which were fun and colorful. Driving on the island was wild but my husband managed it heroically. We have rebooked for next year. We could not get anyone to come and a meet us on our vacation this year but I'm afraid we will have too many people and family wanting to visit us next summer. Counting the days!

Never stayed like this before!!
This house is an exceptional holiday experience. Authentic, a brilliant view over Castries and on a bright day/night you even can see Martinique at the horizont. The house is very spacious! We stayed 8 night with our grown up kids and they loved having their own bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor. The terrace invites you for cozy evenings with a nice glas of wine. For the fact the house is located in the middle of nature it is clear that you have to expect some little animals like cocroaches. However we didn't have a problem with it and we were gifted falling asleep with the sound of singing birds at night. Besides the beautiful house the hosts Cathy and Jacques were of great help and made us feel at home from the first moment. Cathy even picked us up at the airport and went with us to the next supermarket. One important notice: you definitely need a SUV rental car to get to the location. The road to the house is in bad condition and steep. The good thing is as soon as you get familiar with the road conditions you can easily get to all hotspots on the island because the house is quite centrally located. In sum it is a 100% recommendation for those who want to make their stay at St Lucia an extraordinary, individual and special experience.

Sainte-Lucie, Castrie
Nous avons passé des moments fort agréable à Castrie. La propriété est idéalement situé donnant vue face au port. Le soleil et le calme de l'endroit sont idéal pour tout ceux qui cherche à la fois le dépaysement, un confort rustique et complet en dehors des sentiers habituels que sont les ''resorts'' . Avec un Dayhatsu Teiros (Rav4) vous aurez que du plaisir à Saint-Lucie, vous pouvez louer au prix d'une voiture standard (400US semaine) vaux mieux avoir un 4x4 les routes sont très sinueuses, pittoresque et la conduite à gauche se fait bien et ne vous en faite pas les gens sont courtois et prudent. Le stationnement est simple. Nous avons été au restaurant de Cathy et Jacques et y avons été reçu en invités de marques. La table y est délicieuse. Pour l'épicerie et les courses nous avons tout trouvé et tout près. À quelques kilomètres il y à une épicerie avec tout ce que vous voudrez situé à Cul de sac! Il y à aussi un genre Costco à mi chemin de Rodney Bay. Pour le reste découvrir l'ile à partir de la Maison de Cathy était parfait nous avons visité tous les sites de l'ile sauf la Soufrière , nous voulions plus profiter des spa naturel et chutes ce que nous avons trouvé à juste avant les deux pitons, un site peu fréquenté mais pour quelques $ nous y étions seul en famille avec un guide '' Bob Marley'' très drôle et divertissent. Cela à fait notre journée au deux piton un bonheur vue que le seul reproche à faire de Sainte-Lucie est le coût exorbitant de la location de chaises de plage... Mais c'est le seul attrape touriste au quel vous devrai vous résigner mais négocier les prix baissent vite. Somme toute grace à la maison plantation de Cathy vous tomberez sous le charme pittoresque de Sainte-Lucie.
