The lower bedroom has French terra cotta tiles and features a California king bed. (It's 4 inches narrower but 4 inches longer than a king size bed. So if you're the tall one, this suite is for you.)

What to look for when renting a luxurious villa

1. Does it have a fully automatic generator that will run the entire property during the power outages that are common in the Caribbean? Villa Papillon has.
2. Is the pool heated in the winter? Typically, swimming pools on the north side of the St. Thomas island will be in the low 70's. Villa Papillon maintains the pool water at 88 degrees.
3. Is there a hot tub? Ours is built right in the pool.
4. What are the appliances like? Villa Papillon has only top end appliances: 48" SubZero fridge, Viking stove with indoor grill, Miele dishwasher, Viking outdoor BBQ.
5. How old is the furniture in the villa? Villa Papillon has completely replaced all furnishings with top end designer furniture. Carpets are real, hand knotted oriental. Outdoor furniture is solid teak from Westminster. The property is decorated with original paintings, antiquities dating back to the 13th century, fascinating memorabilia and an eclectic collection of "wow" books.
6. It's all in the details. Here is just one example. Last year we tore out the wood deck railings and replaced them with aluminum and stainless steel cable. Why? Because when lounging on the deck, we found that the wood railings took away from the view. The stainless steel cables now give you an uninterrupted "down island" view. That is the thinking that goes into Villa Papillon. If you appreciate beauty, understand value, this is the villa for you.
