Villa Fratelli Cresta offers a unique combination of luxury and comfort not often seen in a property of its size. Seven deluxe bedroom suites within three distinct villas provide sleeping accommodations for up to 18 guests. Virgin Islands Architect Kalif Henley brought vision to life in a stunning layout, windows welcome the Caribbean sun, vaulted ceilings for a spacious feel, and access to absorbing views from Secret Harbour and the protected sanctuary, to Red Hook Bay and sister island St. John and on to the British Virgin Islands.
Located on the East End of St. Thomas, USVI, Villa Fratelli Cresta is embraced by meticulous gardens behind electronic gates (guest and service entries). Very close to the Red Hook Complex (American Yacht Harbor), medical facilities (Red Hook Family Medical Group and Chelsea Drug Store), mail (Red Hook Mail Services) and plenty of dining, shopping and nightlife options, Villa Fratelli Cresta is also very convenient to area marinas, the car barges to St. John, and the ferries to St. John and the British Virgin Islands. Yet, within the electronic gates, you'll enjoy sumptuous accommodations and privacy.
The woods used for interior and exterior trim include the durable "greenheart" from Guyana, this wood stands up well to salt air, insects and moisture, and is so strong that standard tools cannot shape it. Solid masonry construction allows for privacy among the 3 villas (2, 2-bedroom units flank a third, which contains 3 bedrooms). Interior Designer Elizabeth Hall of local outlet Island Empire contributed greatly to the property's stylish interiors and exteriors. Caribbean art and objets appear throughout, to help create an eclectic tour for the eyes and spirit.
Villa Fratelli Cresta is made up of 3 separate and distinct villa units, #1-St. Thomas (2 bedroom, 2.5 bathrooms), #2-St. Croix (3 bedroom, 3 bathrooms) and #3 is St. John (2 bedroom, 2.5 bathrooms). All three villas each have complete kitchens with modern appliances, laundry, climate-controlled A/C, ceiling fans, individual great rooms, Wi-Fi internet access and also have access to the fitness center with A/C on the lower level.
Each of the "villa units" opens out onto the relaxed curves that form the exterior environment: the 15,750 gallon freshwater pool and hot tub, grill, gazebo and outdoor wet bar and food preparation area, chic Kokomo Garden Classic furniture in wicker which accompanies the absorbing view of the ocean and sky...making the outdoor patio also great for hosting events (please inquire).
The islands are best experienced out of doors, and you'll find plenty of opportunity to take in the pleasures of tropical life at its finest, at the supremely 5(plus!)-star Villa Fratelli Cresta!
