About Gîtes de Barthélemy
Gîtes de Barthélemy is the official website of two 4-star furnished tourist lodges — Kolibri and Alpinia — nestled in the hills of Goyave, in Basse-Terre, Guadeloupe. This showcase site was designed as an invitation to travel: it presents both timber lodges in detail (photos, amenities, availability and rates), the lush nature surrounding them, the waterfalls, beaches and hiking trails minutes away, as well as the Creole flavours of the island.
It is aimed at couples seeking intimacy, at families, and at every traveller longing to recharge in the heart of the rainforest, away from mass tourism. Each lodge has its own fully private pool, open day and night all year round, and every availability request sent through the site is handled personally, commission-free — the most advantageous way to book your Guadeloupean escape.
The website and the lodges are created, maintained and run by Lionel and Isabelle, your hosts for the past eight years. An Airbnb Superhost, Lionel welcomes travellers with the same caring discretion and the same attention to detail, committed to sharing the authenticity of his Guadeloupean land — between tropical sky and wild earth, only 24 km from Pôle Caraïbes airport.
