Average time to visit
Offering warm temperatures throughout the year the Caribbean is a perfect year round destination. With an average of 9 hours sunshine a day the peak season runs from December through to April which is the dry season when you can expect very little rainfall. May to November are the slightly wetter months where you will find an increase in rainfall as the summer season goes on and with that some humidity, however the Summer months are still a great time to travel as the temperatures are hot and the rain tends to come in short heavy bursts but not all day long. The wettest months with the most humidity are September and October and these are the most probable months for hurricanes to occur in the region although many islands have not experienced hurricanes for a number of years. The average daily temperatures range from the mid-seventies in the winter months and mid-eighties in the summertime.

Montpelier Plantation oozes with history and charm, the welcome I received was a warm one, we were met by the owner and her gorgeous dog and enjoyed a customary rum punch before taking a look at the amazing Sugar Mill which is over 300 years old and is used today to host private dinners and special afternoon teas amongst other events, once inside it is breathtaking and a really special spot for a romantic candle lit dinner!
The rooms and suites have all been refurbished and look bright and fresh and I love the artwork in the rooms - it gives a contemporary feel without taking away from the history of the property so that you still feel like you're staying in an old plantation house.

Stylish plantation inn on the slopes of Mt. Nevis with welcoming atmosphere, excellent food and service and beautiful gardens
A long-standing favorite with travel writers, Montpelier is a breath of fresh air in the sultry Caribbean heat. Of the several sugar plantation houses that have been converted into intimate hotels on the unspoiled island of Nevis, Montpelier is the most exclusive. Perched 750ft above sea level in a 30-acre estate, it's famed for hosting the wedding of Horatio Nelson to Fanny Nisbet in 1787. These days it is a beautiful hideaway with a graceful and welcoming atmosphere making it ideal for those in need of rest and recuperation and couples seeking a romantic retreat.
The house feels like a tropical version of the English country manor, with a blend of traditional charm, stylish decor, informal luxury and gracious hospitality. In the evenings you are invited to join other guests for drinks in the Great House, before dining on delicious local food served on the candlelit veranda. Walk, read or just simply relax in the sunshine. For the energetic, there's a tennis court and large freshwater swimming pool; golf, riding and mountain walks can be arranged nearby.
