Guestbook
'An oasis of calm, beauty and tranquility'
Just a quick note to say how wonderful our stay in your beautiful house was. We seemed to enter a paradise as soon as we climbed the steep drive. The feeling of space and air was so calming . We loved the way you can feel inside when you are outside and outside when you are inside – a very clever design! Beautiful furniture and decoration all added to the experience. Views across a magical swimming pool over to a picture postcard sea. What more could one ask for in the Caribbean. Thank you so much for letting us share in your oasis of calm, beauty and tranquility. - Robin Raban-Williams (plus family of 5 girls)
'The location is stunning'
Tivigny House is ideally located, just 10 minutes drive from all the supermarkets of Grand Anse, yet far enough away to feel 'away from it'. The location is stunning overlooking Hog Island and Clarke’s Court Bay. The villa itself is tastefully furnished, with the decor and attention to detail second to none. The house has exactly the right number of outdoor lounging spots for both getting to the sun, and getting away from it. The stunning views are from every room in the house, and particularly the infinity swimming pool, which sits ideally overlooking the bay and is stunning both night and day. The owners have ensured that nothing is left to thought, the service throughout our stay was second to none and I would highly recommend this villa to all. - Shaun Simons
'The most delightful villa'
Tivigny House is without doubt the most delightful villa we have ever had the pleasure to stay in. From the stunning views to the architecture and furnishings, everything was of the highest quality. I would not hesitate to recommend a stay there to anyone with a taste for privacy and refinement who is in need of a little luxury. - Sarah Moseley
