Avis Your own historic sugar mill, which can be booked for a vacation of a lifetime!

The Sugar Mill is a beautifully designed, airy and pretty unique villa high up overlooking the sea and islands to the East of Bequia. Being high up it gets a very necessary cooling breeze. Bequia had suffered a long drought while we were there, so was less green than normal, but it was still lovely. Quirin was very welcoming and we could see what efforts he is making to maintain the Old Fort and the estate - quite a challenge! Car rental is pretty essential, as though the island is small, it's quite a way down to the lovely beaches and restaurants. But we very much enjoyed being up the hill by ourselves (great views also from the pool) but only 10 minutes drive to beaches etc. And when we momentarily tired of the views, the tortoises in the garden were endlessly fascinating!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 week stay at the Sugar House at the Old Fort Estate. The setting is gorgeous and the history is fascinating. The grounds were fun to explore, the pool delightful to swim in and read by, and the Sugar House, with its cooling breezes and beautiful views, lovely to come home to each day. The 2 suites were perfect for 2 couples. Quirin and Sarah were very helpful in advance and throughout our stay.
