No detail has been spared in the airy and spacious two-story Carolina-style home that is Frenchmans Lookout. Originally an infamous pirates' lookout because of its commanding and sweeping views, its perch above Sir Francis Drake Channel is caressed by constant trade winds. The views are breathtaking and incomparable and have been called "the best in the Caribbean." http://www.caribbeanmag.com/search/hotels/British_Virgin_Islands/frenchmanslookout/hotel/1990/9/ en-us Copyright 1998 e-TravelMedia.com/CaribbeanMag.com Tue, 14 Feb 2012 15:33:19 EST All of the five high-ceilinged, romantic bedrooms offer state-of-the-art air-conditioning but few guests find it necessary. The simple but sumptuous furnishings define classic elegance: terra cotta floors with woven seagrass mats, plush chairs and sofas, antiques and fine art. Just outside is the 50-foot freshwater pool with a shallow cove for children, surrounded by masonry patios and wood decks. Adjoining the pool is a gazebo and gas barbeque bordered by dramatic rock outcroppings and lush flowering gardens and specimen trees- the aromas of gardenia and jasmine floats through the breeze! A state-of-the-art gym/recreation room and hot tub spa are located in the gardens. The estate's professionally trained staff is discreet and detail-oriented. A private chef is available for your holiday pleasures at an additional cost.
