Fodor's Expert Review Villa Santana
2D Denmark Hill, Charlotte Amalie, Saint Thomas, 00802, U.S. Virgin Islands
Built by exiled General Antonio López Santa Anna of Mexico, this 1857 landmark provides a panoramic view of the harbor and plenty of West Indian charm, which will make you feel as if you're living in a slice of Virgin Islands history. Each of the rooms is unique and lovely. Two favorites are La Mansion, a former library that is now an elegant villa with a large living area crowned by cathedral ceilings, full kitchen, two baths, and four-poster bed; and El Establo, a three-bedroom house with a full kitchen and laundry facilities that is rented by the week.
