Domaine de La Distillerie - François

Where is the Domaine de La Distillerie in Martinique located?

The Domaine de La Distillerie is nestled in the heart of the Habitation du Simon, an 18th century building. Located between the Vauclin (10 minutes away) and the François (5 minutes away), the villa is ideally located to fan out to discover both Atlantic and Caribbean coasts of Martinique. This holiday rental in Martinique stands out thank to its huge tree and flower filled garden and mostly because rum is still produced on-site.

Surrounded by sugar cane fields, the distillery is still operational and makes it possible to discover the whole process of rum fabrication. A tour of the site as well as rum tasting is included in the rate of your holiday rental in Martinique.

The villa is stylishly decorated and combines harmoniously the authentic charm of the stones to the contemporary decoration. This villa will ensure you a change of scenery and total peace and quiet.

The access to the domain is entirely secured by a large gate and a parking lot makes it possible to park several vehicles.

In their desire to provide a dream vacation for their guests, the owners provide complimentary attentions upon arrival: basic grocery for the first dinner (such as pasta or rice), a welcome drink as well as the necessary for your first breakfast (coffee, tea, bread, etc).
