The oddly named, Caribbean Cottage Club is a tiny retreat located on a hillside close to St. George's, the capital of Grenada. This wonderful hotel of just four rooms (three one-bedroom units and one 2 bedroom) is situated just off the main coastal road north of Grand Anse beach.
Only a two minute walk up a side street, the Cottage Club is in a residential area with colorful characters galore.
The owner, Victoria, is a friendly Italian expat who has been living in Grenada for almost two decades. She has built her dream house and a oasis for travelers on property in back of her home. The small complex is built of local hardwood and has a West Indian charm not easily found anymore.http://http://
Also on the property is The Mona Lisa Restaurant. The Italian food here is not on a par with anything you might find in Rome, or New York for that matter, but it is a welcome change from most of the island food you find in Grenada.
Getting there: The property is hard to find. There is a small sign on the main road for the Mona Lisa Restaurant, but the best marker is The Lexus Inn, on the other side of the road from the entrance to a narrow laneway-like road that goes up a hill, leading to the property.
Local buses ply the road with regularity, so getting to either Grand Anse beach or to the capital, St. Georges, is easy - however, it is too far to walk to either.
Rates: One bedroom, $47 (low season) - $57 (high season)
Two bedroom, $94(low season) - $114 (high season)
