The location is incredible; and the plantation beautiful. It’s very private, safe and quiet. The pool is stunning; as well as the view. Chateau Lafitte was a great option with two young kids. Antonia was accommodating and helpful.

We had a fabulous three days at La Dauphine staying in Chateau Lafitte. The property was perfect for our needs and Antonia made us feel very welcome when we arrived. The setting on a working plantation is simply stunning and we were very lucky to meet Charles the estate manager who was frankly inspiring to talk to. His knowledge and passion for managing the plantation including the Cocoa production was just so interesting to hear. We used this as a base to visit the south and hiked Tet Paul (great views) and Gros Piton (tough but enjoyable hike), along with the volcano mud baths and nearby waterfalls. We loved the tranquility of staying on the estate and the pool was great to relax in taking in all the views of the plantation. Highly recommend in combination with their sister property, Villa Beach Cottages in Castries.

Wonderful pool and natural setting. Very helpful staff that were on-site daily. Security on site during evening. Stayed in Chateau Lafitte and it was suitable for 4 people in two bedrooms. Would recommend the big house if you can get it. Get the location of a good inexpensive local restaurant from George the night watchman. Stay away from the resort restaurants (Bamboo, Ladera), and those along the water in Soufriere. Mama Rose's in Laborie also good.

Confused - absolute contrast of beauty and fear.
The place is beautiful during the day: the plantation is amazing, full of vegetation, birds and sounds. The pool is stunning and the best part of the estate. Rainforest walk from the back of the garden provides beautiful views. Antonia and Charles are friendly and helpful, although we had to vacate early despite the place not being booked from the same day. Charles provided us with lots if into about the chocolate making, the history of the island and its economy. There was a guard George during night time most nights. The weak aspects are (we stayed in the Chateaux Laffitte) the tired conditions of the house and the amount if creatures that share the house with you. It is a plantation in the rainforest so it could be expected but for us it was just too much, especially with the gigantic spiders walking on the paths, lizards eating flies in the house, cockroaches, moths, ants etc. We were terribly bitten by ?sand flies one evening on Sugar Beach so if you go there, go to the water and then leave and do not stay on the chairs on the right side. Nights are very noisy because of crickets and frogs and this is beautiful and disquieting at the same time, especially as you struggle to fall asleep worrying that the mosquito nets may not protect you. So if you are a nature lover and do not mind lots of creatures then the place is magic. You can see beautiful birds including hummingbirds and the estate team is friendly. But for us it was more challenging than expected. Pool is 5*.

Amazing!!!!
A beautiful house on a historic cocoa plantation, where you truly feel at home in this paradise of a place. The house is large, cozy and comfortable and its wraparound veranda offers stunning views of the plantation at all times so you experience complete privacy. The fresh smells and sounds of the jungle surrounding us calmed our senses as we drank our coffee in the hammock. The pool is right at the house and it too is surrounded by jungle, fruit trees, and the songs of birds. Antonia, the housekeeper, is AMAZING. Her kindness won't be forgotten, and the same goes to George (our security man), and Charles the Estate Manager. A more fine and genuine group of people are hard to find in this world. We loved our stay, loved the place, and loved the people...we will be back. If you're looking for a surreal place surrounded by privacy and beauty, where you litetally live in a place of stunning history and where you meet three superb caretakers - this is the place for you!

It was a wonderfully relaxing little cottage on an active cocoa farm. Clean, comfortable and charming! Be sure to talk to Charles, the manager, and ask him about St. Lucia.

Great place, great people! A+++
We arrived here first as the first stop of our 3-stop vacation - we had a great reception and intro to the place - we had a quick dip in the pool, then went for dinner to a nearby restaurant. In the morning we had our breakfast prepared there at the property, had some fresh local fruit, drove to the nearby town to do a quick grocery shopping, then relaxed at the pool the rest of the day. All in all, we had a wonderful time there, the property manager gave us an intro of the history of the place, as well as the cocoa plantation that is producing over 22 tons of cocoa beans a year - all while hosting guest at the property. When we left the property manager gave us a nice bag of fresh fruit grown at the estate - it was really a great touch to top it all off. What a wonderful couple of days at this exceptional place!

Estate living, natural surrounding, friendly staff
Our family of husband, wife and 2 kids stayed for 3 nights at Chateau Lafittte in La Dauphine Estate. We were the only renters, as the main house was empty during our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the estate surroundings and having access to the fantastic pool. Chateau Laffitte is the small guest house outside the main house. It has a spacious living room, a small but functional kitchen, two moderately sized bedrooms (no A/C) with lots of storage, and one adequate bathroom. Charles, the estate manager, was very helpful and went out of his way to make our stay comfortable and memorable. When we unexpectedly had two flat tires (beware of the pothole ridden roads, rental car companies won't fix flats for you), he had our tires replaced and got us back on the road. He also gave us a fantastic tour of the estate cocoa facilities. Thank you, Charles! Antonia provided daily housekeeping services, which was very helpful. On the downside, it took us a night to get used to the sounds of the forest and the bugs still got us despite the mosquito netting. Also, the wifi signal didn't reach Chateau Laffitte. We had to do the short hike up to the pool area every time we needed to connect or make a wifi call back home. If there had been other guests, this might have been a significant issue.
