Absorbing Sea and Sun
As we entered the villa for the first time, we had great difficulty turning our Midwestern eyes away from the magnificent view through the floor-to-ceiling, ocean-facing windows long enough to chat with Christiane, the owner, who was there to greet us!
The villa is perched on a cliff about 40 feet above the shimmering crystal, turquoise waters of the bay with 3 platform levels from which to take in the beauty of the Caribbean creation. We had come hoping for just a warm, restful place to soak in sunshine before returning to our busy season back home - and that was exactly what we did. There was no need to go anywhere else. We simply stayed there trying to absorb as much as possible the soothing sounds of the sea and the warmth of the sun.
Floating in the personal, infinity pool a short way down the cliff with the Caribbean on the horizon provided the illusion of bobbing in the sea but within the safety of the overflowing containment. The creative use of concrete in the construction of the interiors of the villa is unique and merits attention and admiration as well. Christiane was an intriguing and excellent hostess who helped to personalize our visit to Antigua and to her villa. You will love her and your stay at Villa Hansen.
