Nestled on the slopes above Oualie beach – named after the Carib’s original name for Nevis, ‘the land of beautiful waters’ – Maison Bougainvilliers is an iconic island home with all the grace and charm that comes with traditional Caribbean stylings. The white woodwork and deep blue shutters perfectly reflect the island’s sands and skies, the house belonging to the scene as much as the garden’s waving palms and bright flamboyant trees.
The owner applied her talents as decorator to the remodeling of the villa in 2022 giving it a fresh look and a vibrant feel.The main entrance door opens to a large living space combining an open plan kitchen and a sitting area of considerable size. Hard wood floors with an aged patina, add character and contrast with the white painted ceilings while lattice works contribute to the traditional charm of West Indian homes.Kitchen:Bright and breezy with multiple openings and ceiling fans, the kitchen offers a welcoming gathering spot. Built in cabinetry and plenty of work surface including a large island that divides the kitchen from the remaining space.Sitting Room:A comfortable space to relax when the weather confines people to the inside. French doors open to the large veranda running the whole length of the villa. Artworks from the owner hanging on the walls bring varying hues of blues symbolizing the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea and are found throughout the villa.
