Your trusted source for guest reviews on Caribbean villas
Overlooking Charlotte Amalie and its harbor, and just a five-minute drive to town, Bellagio Estate was once the gracious home of a U.S. Ambassador in the early island days. The Upper Villa, built in 1960, has simple historic charm. Bellagio Estate now offers two separate villas plus a two-bedroom cottage, all surrounded by an expansive 1.6 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens. In the center of it all is the generous swimming pool, a nearby bathroom and shower, gas grill and a wet bar. A private tennis court is just down from the pool deck exercise with a view! Bellagio's upper home, The Upper Villa, boasts a large covered outdoor living area in crisp white island decor. A powder room and a full kitchen are conveniently just off this living area.
All 10 bedroom suites have cable TVs, and some also have private sitting areas to give everyone the space and privacy they desire. Down the stairs from the Upper Villa on the pool deck below is Bellagio's lower villa - the Main House - which offers a living/dining room (and another full kitchen) from which guests can enjoy town and harbor views.
Below, via a spiral staircase, the lower level of the Main House offers a game/media room complete with air hockey, a billiard table and all electronics, movies, books and games. This large room also doubles as an office, equipped with a DSL line for your laptop, and a fax machine/printer/copier.
Your privacy is ensured by a gated entryway into the community. Bellagio Estate is a stately, historic property, with lots of character and many island stories. In the old island days it was enjoyed by the Kennedys, Jimmy Carter, Harrison Ford and the Governor of the Virgin Islands, among others. Bellagio Estate is comfortable rather than luxurious. With its grand island history, its spacious grounds and lots of room for larger groups, bountiful amenities and many quaint and quiet nooks to enjoy, it is the perfect island getaway for families and groups, big or small.
