Q: I read in a magazine that Princess Margaret's holiday home in the Caribbean can be rented by the week. Can you find out how much this is likely to cost? Spending a week there would be a dream come true for me and my family. - Lily De Bruyn
A: Les Jolies Eaux, the house on Mustique Island given to Britain’s Princess Margaret in the 1960 as a wedding gift, can be rented for $16000 a week, excluding a surcharge over Christmas. With five bedrooms and a party of 10 people, that works out at around R1700 per person per night (R120, 000 per week). The Princess spent many holidays there, but the villa is no longer owned by the royal family. However, its' royal past and splendid location on a secluded peninsula, ensures that it remains highly sought-after. Check out www.mustique-island.com for rental details. Other celebrity holiday homes on the island available for rental include Mick Jagger's Japanese-style beachfront villa ($16000 per week) and the spectacular eight-bedroomed hilltop mansion owned by fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger ($30000-$48000 per week).
