About this location

Perched on a hillside north of Frederiksted, Contessa's Castle commands sweeping views over the west coast of St. Croix and the open Caribbean. The estate's white stucco walls, arched windows, and terracotta-accented towers create a striking Mediterranean silhouette against the tropical sky. The surrounding grounds include mature tropical gardens, stone terraces, and a pool that reflects the sky — offering a range of compositional options from intimate architectural details to wide aerial overviews.
