Villa Cassandra

OVERVIEW

The hub of Villa Cassandra is a spectacular 100 m2 open plan, living /dining area furnished with a mix of Scandinavian and Italian pieces, with wide sliding windows opening onto the garden. There are 2 separate seating areas in the room: a comfortable set of Poliform sofas and armchair in the centre of the room, and an informal arrangement of colourful low cushions clustered around the open fireplace and TV. At the opposite end of the room, near the kitchen, sits a majestic 3 metre marble-top dining table.The kitchen, which can be closed off with a glass partition, is equipped with every utensil a keen cook could wish for and has a breakfast bar looking out to the mimosa in the garden.

The house is set in a peaceful residential area, a few steps from the 12 km-long, south-facing beach where one can watch the sun rise and set. The villa is on the beach side of Bois Plage with shops and restaurants open all year, a daily food market from April to September and the lovely port of St Martin, a UNESCO Heritage site, is a short bike ride away.
