Fodor's Review:
A snug 1670 greathouse -- reputedly the Caribbean's oldest surviving wooden building -- forms the heart of this breeze-swept hillside hideaway. Maureen and Richard "Lupi" Lupinacci and their family are its vivacious soul and will introduce you to everyone who's anyone on Nevis. Lively and laid-back, it attracts a smart (in every sense) set, yet the ambience remains down-to-earth, and kids are definitely welcome -- rare for such a refined retreat. The owners' passion for all things Caribbean, from heirloom antiques to vernacular architecture, is apparent. Stone-and-gingerbread cottages are either painstakingly restored originals or meticulous re-creations, with hardwood floors, four-poster canopy beds, and hammock-slung patios or balconies. Families and honeymooners adore the two-story Blue Cottage, but the Loft, Pink House, and Goosepen Cottage are equally sybaritic; the three-bedroom Manor House has its own pool and wraparound porches. The 17th-century stone terraces are embroidered with Maureen's wild English Romantic-style gardens (pluck your own fruit, or ask the kitchen to prepare a homeopathic bush tea); in genuine plantation fashion, the inn has its own stable, piggery, and livestock.
