“A charmingly renovated 17th century stone house with a beautiful garden filled with wildlife. Not far from Nevis mountain, eight surrounding beaches, and plenty of hiking trails. Just three bedrooms filled with antique furniture, private balconies, and views out to sea and towards mountains. ”

Top 10 hotels and guesthouses in St Kitts
On St Kitts' sister island, Nevis – 30 minutes by ferry from Basseterre – artist Jonathan Rose and his herbalist wife Anne have restored a 17th-century stone property and made it into a characterful guesthouse, Banyan Tree. The eponymous tree is 300 years old and – often full of birds and monkeys – is a much-loved feature of the gardens, which are well planted. The accommodation is in the grounds: the Bamboo House, with a one-bedroom suite with antique four-poster, and the Guest House, with two pretty bedrooms.
