Simple, cozy, intimate and inviting: That’s Villa Roche Brun (RBN) in a nutshell. This luxury property, which is new on St. Barth’s vacation home rental market, is unassuming and welcoming, the kind of place where you kick off your shoes as soon as you arrive and then can’t find them when the time all-too-soon comes for you to reluctantly depart. Simplicity and integration with nature are the points here, and most of the living and dining spaces are open air—who really needs walls when there are Caribbean breezes and verdant garden views to be had instead?
Ideal for a small family or a couple, Villa Roche Brune a cooking-relaxing-and dining area with marled-wood tables and counters and a beautiful row of icicle-shaped light fixtures. Pops of red enliven the serene white space, both in the cushions on the couches that are nestled in around the TV and in the hammock that beckons as it hangs across the space between to pillars of the covered terrace. The terrace extends out to a swimming pool and a lawn with lounge chairs. Sibarth’s concierge can customize the experience for any group, whether that means orchestrating a private couples massage or taking the kids out on a water sports adventure.
The master suite is comfortable, with sleek built-in furnishings, a comfortable bed and Balinese artifacts on the wall. Its dressing room and bathroom are both of a good size. The second bedroom and third are also quite inviting. These two bedrooms share a bathroom.
