### A little history The islands of Les Saintes or Les Saintes, in Guadeloupean Creole Lésent, are an archipelago of volcanic islets in the French West Indies in the Caribbean Sea. Divided between the communes of Terre-de-Haut and Terre-de-Bas, Les Saintes are administratively attached to Guadeloupe. Its inhabitants are called Saintois(es). The smell of pancakes on the island quickly confirmed the Breton origin of these inhabitants. After numerous English invasions, always repelled, the first settlers arrived in the archipelago in the 1640's. They were Bretons, Normans, Vendeans and Alsatians.

Villa Rackam
A perfect stay, Villa Rackam is an exceptional property with a stunning view and very private, comfortable and well appointed.
Please conserve water (3 water cutoffs during my week, from 6pm to 8am), water is increasingly precious everywhere.
This place was perfect! Claire met us in the inclined driveway to ensure we found the place. I would recommend renting a golf cart or e-bike. Getting up that incline alone was worth having it! Claire responded to any questions we had and we ate at every restaurant she recommended! The location of the house is walking distance from the ferry, majority of the shops and food but also just enough away from it all to give you the best view of Terre de haut. I did not even want to leave the comfort of the house some days but we sadly did to explore all the amazing beaches! Crawen being our favorite. Having the breeze while you relax by the pool watching the colors change from sunset was so beautiful. The beds pillows were comfy and air conditioning worked great in the bedrooms and the outdoor showers leant to the island experience. Out of the three places we stayed at here and on Guadeloupe Id have to say this was our favorite. The clothes washing machine also worked great!

Un paradis haut perché
Absolument parfait: l’emplacement, la vue, le charme de l’aménagement. Excellent accueil par Claire. Petit avertissement aux personnes ayant des difficultés de marche: l’accès, uniquement à pied ou vélo, est vraiment raide!

Très belle villa bien située
Très belle villa bien exposée, bien équipée, avec un accueil très chaleureux de la part de Claire.
Elle bénéficie de tous les atouts : Pas trop loin du centre, mais assez pour être au calme, proche d'une belle plage, d'un centre de plongée, et d'un des meilleurs restaurant de l'ile.
Bref, de quoi passer d'excellentes vacances.

Villa Parfaite !
Un emplacement parfait, une vue idyllique, une maison jolie et confortable, un accueil chaleureux… Tout est pensé pour passer des vacances de rêves : du matelas épais aux belles moustiquaires, des jolies salles de bain en 1/2 plein air jusqu’aux jeux de société les jours de pluie, les jumelles à disposition pour plonger dans la baie ou les tapis de yoga…les détails comptent et ici c est un sans faute !

Séjour aux saintes
Séjour globalement très agréable. La maison dispose d'une très belle vue sur la baie des Saintes. La décoration est faite avec beaucoup de goût. Quelques points négatifs : piscine trop froide, terrasse peu ensoleillée pendant la journée, beaucoup de moustiques et d'insectes (dont certains entrent dans la moustiquière), accès difficile avec des valises, et l'agence qui refuse de rendre le chèque de caution à la fin du voyage. Merci !

La villa Rackam est une très belle villa, avec une vue magnifique sur la baie des Saintes, en tout point conforme aux photos. Propreté irréprochable et équipements au top et la piscine est la cerise sur le gâteau. Merci à la personne nous ayant accueilli, très gentille et disponible. Rien à redire villa à recommander.
