Review:
Located at the foot of the lush Olivees Mountain, Fairview Great House & Botanical Garden is a beautifully restored French colonial mansion set on over 2 acres of gorgeous tropical garden. The house was built in 1701 and is open to the visitors in all its glory – with period furniture and décor that include a magnificent 16-seat mahogany dinner table laid with china and silver.
The docents who accompany visitors will explain that the chaises were made wider in order to accommodate petticoats. The veranda off the master bedroom offers breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea, the southeast peninsula, and the island of Nevis.
Outside the main building, across the courtyard, is the original kitchen, a bathing room, and a fieldstone cellar that is now used as a gift shop. The gardens surrounding the mansion are magnificent, full of lush tropical greenery, flowers, birds, and monkeys.
