La Dauphine Estate, Soufrière

Description: La Dauphine Estate

La Dauphine Estate offers exclusive accommodation located in an old cocoa plantation and is situated in the hills four miles from the picturesque, colonial town of Soufriere, once the old French capital of St. Lucia. This 75-acre family plantation produces bananas, cocoa, coconuts, citrus fruits, flowers, nutmeg and a variety of flowers and vegetables. La Dauphine Estate is only minutes away from a dining, shopping and entertainment centre, where you'll find a multiplex cinema and numerous restaurants.

La Dauphine Great House and Chateau Laffitte are two estate houses nestled on green hillsides surrounded by beautiful gardens. Originally built by colonial governor Gabriel Laffitte, La Dauphine Great House features decorative gingerbread fretwork, jalousie windows and wooden shutters. The house has been refurbished to combine old colonial charm with all modern conveniences. Both La Dauphine Estate residences are fully equipped for a self-catering holiday. However, restaurant services for breakfast and dinner are available on request.

La Dauphine Estate provides a full housekeeping service and staff will help organise tours of the plantation and local mountains.
