Chateau Le Tete Rouge Chateau Le Tete Rouge - 4 bedrooms/5 baths. The villa name is a French phrase meaning "The Red-Headed Castle", is aptly named for its crown of vibrant ruby-red glazed roof tiles that shimmer like jewels in the bright tropical sunlight.
Outdoor couches and tables provide a cool retreat for reading or relaxing away from the activities of the upstairs spaces.
It is just six steps down from the villa's main entrance terrace to the pool and hot tub patio. Hibiscus, Allamanda and Bougainvillea flowers as well as banana and palm trees surround the pool, which measures (22 X 12 - 3 feet shallow to 8 feet deep end) and overlooks the southern shores. Two contoured stone lounge seats are sculpted several inches under the water in the pool's shallow end. Both seats face towards the warm west sun. A cabana with a dressing room, bathroom and shower is located poolside. There is an extended roof attached to the cabana to allow for shaded lounging out of the brilliant tropical light.
If you think the outside is spectacular wait till it's time to go inside! The living, dining, and kitchen areas of this inviting home are defined by seven large, graceful brick arches and a vaulted ceiling that allow the natural beauty of St. John to flow inside and fill the rooms.
Four arches open out to the roof-covered upper veranda. It takes only the press of a switch to bring their form fitted wooden slat doors securely down into place. The remaining three archways have built-in double glass doors that open out to the shaded terrace that sits above the pool and hot tub. Renovated this past year, La Tete Rouge radiates style and comfort. Its mellow yellow and cream colors are subtle and serene. The furniture and ornamentations are crafted out of dark toned woods, wicker, rattan, and bamboo, which create a cool, quiet but very tropical feeling.
There is an Indo-Pacific as well as a Caribbean influence to the decor, evidenced best by the magnificently dramatic jungle wall mural in the villa's entryway. Privately commissioned for La Tete Rouge, this three sectioned, finely detailed work of art is in full view of the hexagon shaped glass and bamboo dining table. The well stocked kitchen includes a dishwasher and microwave and there is a washer and dryer in the connecting pantry. The villa is equipped with a DVD player, CD/Cassette stereo system, Cable TV/VCR and a phone with answering machine. There is an assortment of compact discs, books and games for your entertainment. The Chateau sleeps eight. There are three large bedrooms and a loft area which is accessed by a spiral staircase from the Great Room area. Two bedrooms contain king-sized beds and in the third bedroom there is a queen-sized bed. Ceiling fans hang in every room and all four sleeping areas are air conditioned.
The celery-green Plantation room is accented with dark West Indies style furniture and a beautiful sleigh frame queen bed which faces double French doors that overlook the Caribbean Sea. This very large room includes a newly constructed white tiled bath with gold marble accents in the shower.
The loft bedroom above the living room has two twin beds with jungle motif and roll-down shades to provide for privacy.
Located approximately ten minutes from downtown Cruz Bay, in the luxury estate community of Point Rendezvous, La Tete Rouge is convenient to restaurants, shops and the northshore beaches. Beach towels, bath towels and linens are all supplied, as are sand chairs, coolers and a gas grill.
With sweet smelling sea breezes, toasty warm sunshine and hypnotic ocean views, private Chateau La Tete Rouge offers it all!
