Heaven within heaven
St. Lucia is already an amazing place to be and this villa was the slam dunk to an amazing vacation. the property is nestled within a quiet neighborhood where you have complete privacy and all of the amenities one could need. the open air fire floor is a perfect blend of indoor and outdoor living. the property manager is beyond friendly and sent helpful recommendations to ensure my wife and I were comfortable. I couldn't have asked for a better host, or a better villa to host my wife and I after our destination wedding.

Great house for a family
This house is charming, well-appointed and perfect for a relaxing family get-away. Our family of four have an amazing week… close to beaches and restaurants and gorgeous vistas all around. Rob was super helpful and answered all our questions immediately. Stanis is also an amazing resource for getting around and helped make this a fantasy holiday. A definite repeat for us.

Truly Spectactular Villa and Great Location
We enjoyed a truly exceptional experience on Saint Lucia. The Villa Zatarra was a stunningly beautiful base of operations on the north end of this enchanting island. Great communication from Robert the owner. We fell in love with the cool plunge pool on the property and I spent as much time in there as I could, including for every sunrise. The early morning and late night swims with all the amazing surrounding flowers and plants it was just so enchanting. The area is so quiet and chill but still so close to many adventures. We rented fat tire Ebikes during our stay from April and Ron who just started a new business in Rodney Bay called Sunset Ebikes and this gave us the ability to explore off road and on very remote trails both on the Caribbean and Atlantic sides and the ability to explore remote beaches inaccessible to automobiles. Nancy the housekeeper was a true blessing as was Mr. Stannis when we had transportation needs beyond the range of the Ebikes. We elected to transfer from the UVF airport via St. Lucia Helicopters and it was an amazing flight both ways, also highly recommend. Villa Zatarra has everything you could possibly desire and the folks of St. Lucia are a tightknit community full of warmth and love.

Stunning property with breathtaking views! This indoor/outdoor property offers spacious areas, a fully furnished kitchen with everything you could possibly need and your own private pool. There are a few beaches within 1.2 miles, one on the Atlantic and a few on the Caribbean side. The property is private, gated and very safe. The owners are so nice, friendly and helpful. They communicate timely and even came to check in on us and make sure we had everything we needed! The housekeeper, Nancy, went above and beyond to ensure our stay was relaxing without lifting a finger! The villas driver, Stanis, was phenomenal always making sure we got wherever we wanted to go anytime we needed!

A fantastic vacation
Had an awesome experience on Saint Lucia with the family. The Villa Zatarra is a great house to call home Well on the such a beautiful island. Great communication from Robert the owner. Both Robert and Verron called to check in on us and to welcome us to the island as soon as we were picked up by Stanis. Robert even visited us at the villa on our second day there to meet us in person as well. He is a very chill fella and can tell he really loves the island himself. You have the option to use Stanis for all of your travel needs and it would be silly not to. Stanis picked us up at the airport took us to this super tasty road side spot selling fresh bread and my son tried the salted cod on a delicious fresh roll and he fell in love. He is very professional, knowledgeable and so kind. We had our 11 year old son with us and he was so great with him. He really made sure to include him in all conversations and remembered everything he liked for our whole trip. If he is unable to provide you with a taxi service, he will find you someone else to help and they all carried the same traits. Nancy the house keeper was super respectful and you can tell she really cares for the property. I fell in love with the private pool on the property I spent as much time in there as I could. The early morning and late night swims with all the amazing flowers and plants around it was so relaxing. The area is so quiet and chill but still so close to so much.

Beautiful location..the private pool is awesome. Loved the open air lower level. AC worked perfectly in the bedroom (the only room w/air conditioning). The balcony off the master has 2 hammocks and the breeze is perfect as is the view... While this villa is starting to show its age (toilets need updating) and stove could use an update...it served us well and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. The driver, Stanis, is pleasant and picked us up from the airport and took us back for our return home. The roads are constant switchbacks and hairpin turns. So be ready..haha. Stanis handled it like the pro he is!! Don't forget your bug spray...the mosquitoes are relentless. Enjoy...you won't be disappointed.

There aren’t enough words to adequately describe the graciousness and attention to our group by the owner and his team. From arrival to coordinating transportation around the island, they were extraordinary. And the property is an oasis within an oasis. Villa Zatarra will be our St. Lucia residence during our visits.

This house was everything we expected. Clean, well stocked and a great location. Gated property in a super up scale community. Only 7 minutes from town. The house keeper came every day. The pool was cleaned daily. Nancy even did our laundry. The main bedroom is so private. Great communication with the owner, Rob. He checked in on us a few times. Absolutely will stay again. On a non house related comment.... The island is amazing. The people are the friendliest folks anywhere. Always felt safe everywhere we went. Day or night.

I don't even know where to start. The pictures do not even give it justice. From the beginning rob scheduled us a driver and made sure everything was cordinated before our arrival. The driver stanis is one of a kind, and i urge you to use him for all of your excursion and taxi needs. Hes polite, and always goes above and beyond. The house was perfect and has everything you will ever need to be set up. Stanis on the way in took us to a local store and got us set up right away and gave us a tour of the house. Rob also came and introduced himself, very professional and offered to answer any questions we had. When visiting some place new, having rob and stanis was a must. Rob also does play saxophone and does gigs on the island. We went to see him and it was truly a experience in itself. I will be back here in the future. If youre visiting st lucia and not staying at this villa you're not doing it right. Book this place you will only wish you stayed longer!!!

Awesome Villa!
What a great place in a great location! We enjoyed our stay very much. It was nice having the pool to cool down. Opening all the doors and windows and letting the breeze blow through made it seem like part of the outdoors. It was very private as well. We chose to use the recommended driver(Stanis). Definitely the way to go with the roads and traffic. The place is in a great location for all kinds of activities and restaurants. Rob and Veron were very prompt in answering any questions we had. Would highly recommend this place.

This villa is amazing! From waking up to the most beautiful sunrises right from our balcony to floating in the private plunge pool we felt like we were in heaven! Rob, the owner was always available for us for any of our needs or suggestions on things to do. He even invited us to one of his performances, which I still have goosebumps from . Nancy, our sweet housekeeper was amazing and always made sure we were well taken care of. Stanis, the recommended driver was invaluable! His private land, and Sea tour is a must do!! The location from our experience travelling around the island was one of the best spots to be! Close to beautiful,quiet Reduit beach, the Friday night street party, Pigeon Island, and Rodney Bay. We couldn’t be happier with our stay. What are you waiting for … just book it you won’t be sorry!!

Island Getaway
We spent a week in Villa Zatarra. It has a relaxed and open layout that lets the breeze come in. Stanis our driver and house manager was very professional and showed us the ins and outs for our stay. First off, I must say if you really want to relax, hire Stanis as your driver for the time you are there. He is in constant communication with you and will set up your activities as well as dinners and his recommendations are all good. He is also an excellent driver. His team if needed, are all professional and are there to please. The Villa sits on a hilltop overlooking the golf course and the Atlantic ocean beyond. The view is best taken from the nice covered patio off the master bedroom. We had plenty of space and choices of different patios depending upon the weather. Since it rained off and on during our stay we spent most mornings inside overlooking the pool deck and landscaping or upstairs on the patio. We kept the house open when home and only used the AC in the bedroom just before bed. The pool is small and cool, but makes for an excellent dipping pool. We found the kitchen to be well stocked and cooked several dinners in. The location is excellent, walkable to several beaches. The bed was comfortable. The house is older, but kept very clean by Nancy. TV is small but didn't need it. WiFi excellent. Robert is very nice and accommodating, he and his wife have created a great vacation rental! Would highly recommend Villa Zatarra.

We had an amazing week at Villa Zatarra! The pictures don’t even do the villa justice. The property is so lush. The breezes are constant, the flowers are beautiful and the angelic hummingbirds visit frequently. Sunrise over the golf course and Cas en Bas beach every morning with coffee on the upstairs porch was the best way to start everyday. The villa has whatever you need. The kitchen has everything. The bathrooms are huge. The water is hot and the air conditioning is cool. The pool is the perfect size for dipping and cooling off in the hot St Lucian sun. Nancy is there for a short time everyday to make sure everything is tidied up and you are well stocked. Stanis is amazing. He was our concierge, our tour guide and we feel like after a week, our friend. Do the land and sea tour with him! You won’t regret it. We can’t say enough great things about the villa and our stay in St Lucia. Rob the owner was terrific from the time of booking until we checked out. He answers all your questions and is there if you need him. If you like your privacy and want to feel like you really experienced the island. Stay here!!

The Villa was beautiful in a very secluded area about an hour and half from the airport. If you’re looking for an enjoyable place to relax, Villa Zatarra was perfect.

Great location!
We had a great stay at Villa Zatarra - the property is exactly as pictured. Plenty of space for our group of 4 & felt like we still had some privacy from each other. The balcony from the master was a great space for morning yoga or lounging in the hammock in a shaded space. While the pool wasn’t big enough for swimming, we appreciated having a place to cool off & the decks provided equal space for sunbathing & shade. The location of the Villa can’t be beat! Close to many activities in the north of the Island - Rodney Bay was a very short taxi ride with many great restaurant options. Definitely utilize the Villas preferred driver, Stanis!! He not only provided all our transfers during our stay, he helped us organize our list of activities & set up various things for us, including dinner reservations, private massages in the Villa & other tours. And after seeing the winding roads of St Lucia - I sure am glad we didn’t get a rental car!

Wonderful Family Vacation!
Veron was in constant communication up until my arrival. Robert was available over text to help facilitate the arrival with Stanis, the Villa's driver. Stanis picked us up at the airport and gave us a wonderful tour of the neighborhood. We spent more time with Stanis than we did at the villa, lol. The Villa is very lovely. The kitchen had everything we needed and the housekeeper, Nancy was extremely helpful during the day. Having a house cleaner during the stay definitely elevates the vacation experience. During the day we lounged around the pool. At night, Stanis or one of his reliable drivers would take us for dinner. Robert visited a few times during our stay to introduce himself, brought us coffee when we asked, and came to say Goodbye. He was the most attentive host I have ever come across. We were in constant communication daily for any needs I had and he is only 15min away. The upscale neighborhood does provide a feeling of safety as well. Overall the stay was a wonderful experience and I was so happy to have such a memorable vacation with my family here. I would definitely come back!

Nothing short of AMAZING
Villa Zatarra was our home for a week and we absolutely loved every second of it. The villa is immaculate and has amazing views of the ocean. It is surrounded by lush tropical gardens and serene sounds of birds. We chose to use Stanis the villas personal taxi driver. He met us at the airport and took us to the villa with a stop just prior to our arrival at a grocery store to stock up on essentials. Stanis is very friendly and knowledgeable of all the island history. We had debated about renting a vehicle but are happy with our decision not to. Stanis was there for us every time we needed a trip into town. There are several beaches within a mile of so walk in a few directions. We took some nice walks to those beaches several times. Mostly we just stayed at the villa and enjoyed to pool and lounge chairs. The kitchen was equipped to handle everything we made. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. We enjoyed morning coffee on the balcony just off the master bedroom. Nancy the housekeeper came by several days to make sure we were good and did some tidying up. The owner Rob, met us at the villa shortly after we arrived and on the day of our departure. He is very accommodating and there to help in any way. Prior to our arrival, I was in constant communication with both himself and Veron and both answered all our questions. Communication was spot on with those two. What more can I say? This place is amazing! We stayed at a resort a few years ago on the southern part of the island but when we find ourselves in St. Lucia in the future, we will be renting the Villa Zatarra again. You really need to consider this home for your travel to St. Lucia. Televisions all worked, lighting is good, we felt very safe in the upscale neighborhood. There are so many things to do within a short drive, and even more to do within a 1.5 hour drive. Be sure to book the Land and Sea tour with Stanis. It was a personal tour of the island for the morning and early afternoon, followed by lunch and then a catamaran tour of the coast. That was not private but it was very fun with snorkeling and cocktails! If we could give the Villa 10 stars we would. Thank you Rob for the hospitality and sharing this beautiful villa with us!
