Re: Impotance; Food , weather, villa, beaches, and add something.
Villa, beaches, weather, food.
It all starts with finding a villa we like, or think we will like as we are villa promiscuous.
We love our routine, shared by many, I'm sure, of heading to a beach in the morning until around 12:30 - 1:00. Then off for a long lunch with a bottle of Rose'.
We tend to go in the November/December season so the weather is usually great. Christmas winds a few times but no biggie. I would not want to be there during an unusually rainy week as I do not suscribe to the oft mention statement that "a rainy day on St Barths beats a sunny day at home!" No it doesn't. YMMV.
The food is a huge attraction for us but if the food were less spectatular than it is (or can be), we'd still go there.
I'll add the scenic beauty of the island. No place like it and it makes being the driver a challenge!
