Our cottage served as a comfortable home base for adventures around Basse-Terre, Grande-Terre, and Les Saintes during our weeklong visit. We arrived at night, so the reveal of the spectacular ocean view from the terrace in the morning was breathtaking. Hélène and Harry were gracious hosts who met us with a warm welcome and ensured that we had everything we needed, from recommendations to local eateries and hikes, to a well-stocked kitchen that allowed us to prepare some of our own meals during our stay. They even provided provisions for a tasty breakfast of bread, yogurt, and fruit that allowed us to enjoy a leisurely first morning in Guadeloupe taking in the magnificent scenery at the outdoor balcony table, without having to rush to a grocery store. We spent many hours in the afternoon and evenings after returning from excursions around the island in the outdoor space at the cottage, reading in the hammock, watching ferries and sailboats come into the port at Trois-Rivières, and catching glimpses of hummingbirds attracted to the richly flowered landscape. We highly recommend the Nid de Belmont cottages to anyone looking for a charming, quiet, and restful place to stay while exploring all that Guadeloupe has to offer!
