HILL RISE HOUSE
Nevis, West Indies
4 Bedrooms with Bathrooms En Suite (Sleeps 8)

Hill Rise House is a charming West Indian style home with gingerbread trim sitting on a hill 500 feet above sea level. This location is perfect as it has constant trade winds and a panoramic view of the Caribbean and the islands of St. Kitts, Saba and St. Eustacius. Hill Rise House also enjoys spectacular sunsets and later a fairyland of twinkling lights below in Charlestown, the very appealing capital and birthplace of Alexander Hamilton. Nevis is a small peaceful island steeped in history and several of its former plantations are now marvelous small hotels. One of them, Montpelier, is just a few minutes walk as are the Botanical Gardens.

Both the main house and guest house are comfortably decorated in "colonial plantation" style with lots of antique furniture, as well as traditional Lloyd Loom, mahogany, teak and rattan. They also have large verandahs and overlook the 40' swimming pool and pool house below. This wonderful 2½ acre compound also has very pretty gardens surrounding all of the buildings, which are set apart for privacy. At the entrance to the property is a gatehouse where the laundry is located and off to the side is the tennis court.

Staff
Donna, the wonderful housekeeper, comes in every morning (at variable times) except Sundays and holidays to make beds and tidy up. She has no fixed hours and will launder anything that doesn't require special care. Bernard is the gardener and he works weekdays from 7am to 3.30pm. The pool is serviced twice each week.

Services Available at Additional Cost
Advance food shopping. Donna is also an excellent cook and is available to either cook and leave meals or to cook and serve meals. 

Notes
Beaches and Charlestown are about 15 minutes. There is a Robert Trent Jones 18-hole golf course at the nearby Four Seasons Hotel. Hill Rise House may also be rented with fewer bedrooms for smaller groups. There is no dishwasher. There is usually a resident cat but it doesn't bother guests.  Guests need to bring their own tennis racquets and balls. The fax is in the guest house (if only the main house is being used and a guest needs to use the fax, Donna can let them in).
