     The Montpelier Plantation is one of four "Plantation Inns" on Nevis and is often considered the most exclusive.  Set high in the hills of Nevis on 13 acres of land, it boasts 17 cottages surrounded by absolutely beautiful gardens.  The inn focuses on the high standards of it's food, wine, and service.  They employ 3 Nevisian chefs and 3 European chefs.  Much is made of it's cuisine and a happy house-party atmosphere  All of the rooms are at 750 feet above sea level, and  have wonderful  terraces overlooking (albeit distant) the Caribbean Sea.  All of the "Great Houses" were traditionally built at this height as it is cooler and has fewer sand-flies.  The pool is absolutely stunning!  The walls are hand painted in a Caribbean style and will keep you mesmerized just exploring the painting's different scenes.    

As you would expect from an inn of this quality, the rates are not for everyone.  I love to go up for cocktails and watch the cruise ships in the distance.  It is so peaceful and remote that you will swear you have Nevis all to yourself.  In my opinion the only drawback is the distance to town and the beach.  It will take about 20 minutes to town and another 10 minutes to Pinney's Beach where they offer an outdoor shower, picnic pavilion, changing rooms, and a phone.  This said they do offer a complimentary shuttle bus, but how often this runs I am not sure.  I highly recommend taking the bus, I have been driving on Nevis for almost 10 years now and this is still a tricky drive.

     All in all though Montpelier is definitely worth examining whether you plan on staying there or not.  Oh and by the way, a little tidbit of gossip.  This is where Princess Diana stayed while visiting Nevis after her separation.  She was on Nevis for several days in January 1993.  Being a Princess Diana fan, you can imagine how thrilled I was to see her.  The paparazzi left her alone for the most part, so it was not uncommon to see her around the island.  What Fun!  Yes she was stunningly beautiful and equally charming!

     I recently added an online booking site for Nevis hotels, where you can check rates, availability, and special deals.  The site has loads of information and is the ONLY booking agency that has an "On-Island" agent.  A must when you get to Nevis.  The added feeling of security in knowing that there is a "real person" on Nevis instead of an toll free number, that doesn't work from Nevis is a great feeling!  See link below
