Overlooking the St. Thomas harbor, and just a five-minute drive to town, Bellagio Estate, in the early island days, was once the gracious home of a U.S. Ambassador. There are 3 separate buildings, making it perfect to use for groups whether they be small or large, and a great alternative to a resort or hotel. Built in 1960, Bellagio has simple, historic charm. Two separate villas, plus a small two-bedroom cottage, are all surrounded by the expansive, 1.6 acres of landscaped property, screened by lofty, mature trees such as mango, papaya, breadfruit, bamboo, and towering palms. In the center of it all is the generous pool, complete with slide, outdoor shower, gas grill and a wet bar. A private tennis court is just down from the pool deck, and has a basketball net for some one on one. The Upper Villa, Bellagio's upper building, boasts a large covered outdoor living area in crisp white island décor. A perfect location to watch the cruise ships depart from the harbor. A powder room and a full kitchen are conveniently just off this living area. Bedroom #1, a double, with its own bath, is tucked away on a small shady patio with palm trees just outside the kitchen. On the other side of this patio and down a corridor with floor-to-ceiling windows are three more bedrooms (2 king bedrooms, #2 and #4, and one with 2 twins, #3) and two baths (bedroom #2 & #3 share a bath). These 3 bedrooms have an ocean view. Each bedroom is air-conditioned, has cable TV and all suites are tastefully decorated. Down the stairs at the garden level, (near the pool deck), is bedroom #5, a private, air-conditioned king suite. Down the stairs
from the Upper Villa on the pool deck below, is Bellagio's expansive
lower villa. This Main House offers a living/dining room and another
full kitchen from which guests can enjoy town and harbor views.
This building is excellent for a smaller group to enjoy. A covered
deck which overlooks the pool is off the living room, perfect for
catching some shade on a hot Caribbean day. Two king bedroom/bath
suites (#6 and #7) are adjacent to the living area, and are fully
air-conditioned and equipped with cable TV. Both suites are elegantly
designed with an old-world flavor and furnished in classic mahogany
furniture. Each bath features an antique all-marble bathroom with
gold-tipped fixtures, which are original from when the house was
built. A cool and private patio off these bedrooms provides a quiet
spot to read or snooze. And below, via a spiral staircase, the lower
level of the Main House offers a game/media room complete with air
hockey, a pool table and electronics, movies, books, games and is
equipped with a computer with DSL line, a fax machine and a printer/copier.
Adjacent to the game/media room is a full bath and an air-conditioned
queen bedroom (#8). Outside, it is just a few steps to the cozy
little cottage (tucked behind the Upper Villa) with its two air-conditioned
bedrooms (#9 and #10) sharing a bath and its own private porch to
enjoy the tropical breeze. |
