My significant other and two other couples wanted to take a tropical vacation. We had all done the all-inclusive resort type vacation and wanted something different. We decided on La Dauphine Estate, which is a large plantation house on the Southern portion of the island in Soufriere. I definitely recommend renting a car for this house. The beaches, town, restaurants,... More

We stayed at La Dauphine for 3 nights. Antonia and Charles provided the warmest of welcomes. Make sure to have Antonia prepare a meal for you...delicious. The Estate is very clean and has a fantastic new pool. Very quiet and relaxing. It makes for a great base of operations for visiting the Pitons and other great attractions in the Soufriere... More

We stayed at Chateau Lafitte for four nights on the La Dauphine estate with our two children. It was a very unique experience to stay on a working cocoa plantation. The cottage was clean but rustic. The entire estate is yours to explore, including a short hiking trail and an explanation of how cocoa is grown. Antonia and Charles are... More

We stayed in the former overseer's house for only one night before climbing the nearby Gros Piton the next morning, and found it peaceful and charming, a wonderful antidote to the polished tourist accommodations near Rodney Bay in the north of the island. This place is the real thing, and totally unaffected by the hurricane that hit St. Lucia in... More

Antonia at La Dauphine went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. She came at the ideal time each morning to check on us and gave us daily guidance to make the nest of our stay. I really loved all of the things to eat in the front and backyard there, plus the wrap-around porch are jalousie windows were... More

We stayed here for 4 nights before our stay at Jade Mountain. It is a great value if you are going to be doing day trips. Antonia is wonderful! She is super nice and attentive. You can arrange for her to cook with advance notice. Her brother Junior provided us with great taxi service around the island since we didn't... More

We stayed for 6 nights over Christmas at La Dauphine Estate in St. Lucia. It was a hidden paradise. The staff were fantastic with my children (aged 3 and 5) and were very helpful to us. The accommodation is not a resort type place, so if you are interested in that, don't book here. The house was extremely clean. It... More

La Dauphine Estate is an amazing place to stay. Antonia the housekeeper is fantastic, will cook you up loads of yummy local creole food for a very reasonable price, and make sure you know where all of the local attractions are. The estate house itself is nestled into a bit of rain forest on a working plantation in the mountains... More

We stayed there for only 3 days since we couldn't get into the sister resort, Villa Beach Cottages, in Castries, and we ended up enjoying La Dauphine more in the end. The owner upgraded us to the larger of the 2 homes on the estate since it was available, so we had an enormous home just to ourselves. The housekeeper,... More
