Editor's note: Le Farniente is a new, beautifully and tastefully refurbished one bedroom unit that sleeps comfortably up to 4 people. The French owners, Francois and Nathalie, did a very nice job in furnishing and decorating their new apartment, acquired in summer of 2007. Until February 2008 they also rented very successfully villa "Maison Gatchoucha" on Oyster Pond, for 3 years (now sold to new owners). Very recently, in October 2008, they started to rent Villa du Voyageur, a cozy villa in the quiet area of Orient Bay designed for the cost-conscious travelers.
