La Dolce Vita
Enjoy 'the sweet life' at Spring, on Bequia, in a comfortable one bedroom apartment, in a lovely hillside villa overlooking Spring Bay, on the windward side of Bequia. With picturesque ocean views looking east to the islands of Battowia and Balliceaux, sailboats, the occasional humpback whale, and views of the quiet, unspoilt beach at Spring. Inland views below and across the valley are pastoral with the remnants of Spring Plantation and its old sugar mill ruins, which now house a pottery and art gallery, and a small, tidy, working farm and orchard.

Sit on the deck, enjoying the breezes and watch the palm trees sway, or the fishermen in their row boats setting their nets. It is so easy to relax here.

The bedroom is quite large with a very comfortable Queen size bed, lots of storage, a few easy chairs and a desk and chair. The bath has hot running water and a shower. Compact but functional, fully equipped kitchen and living area. The bedroom and the living area have ceiling fans but with the breeze you rarely need them.

La Dolce Vita is a few minutes walk from Spring beach, about 10 minutes walk to Industry beach, and about 30 minutes walk into Port Elizabeth. No matter where you walk you are surrounded by beauty and lush foliage.

The road which passes through Spring Estate and links Port Elizabeth with Industry Bay is particularly beautiful with Bougainvillaea, Oleander and Pride of Barbados lining the roadside.

Just beyond Spring is Industry Bay. The walk from Spring Bay to Industry Bay is truly remarkable for its rugged beauty. Rock outcroppings along the roadway shows evidence of Bequias volcanic origins. Industry gets its name from the days when sugar was taken there and loaded onto small boats to carry it across the coral reef onto larger, ocean going ships. At Industry there is a picturesque beach bar run by Ricky and Dean where food and drinks may be obtained. It is in this area that fine snorkelling is to be found and Ricky is always happy to act as a guide.

'La Dolce Vita' is just over a mile from Port Elizabeth where its shops, boutiques, restaurants, banks, etc. are located. Rental cars are available from several sources and there are plenty of taxis available.

Non smokers only.

The owners have 2 friendly small dogs, Koko and Gizmo just waiting to make you feel at home.
