Tobago is the ideal site for a villa that promises to sooth the weary soul.
The island lies at the southern tip of the Caribbean, not far from Venezuela. It is small and mountainous and amazingly free of the usual trappings of tourism. No cruise ships, no drinks garnished with umbrellas ... just lush rain forests, magnificent bay views and birds, birds and ... more birds.
Tobago was created to be the backdrop for this Villa. Located in Arnos Vale on the north-west side of the island, tucked into the side of a hill on a five acre organic fruit farm with breathtaking 180 degree views of the Caribbean Sea.
The villa combines elements of the traditional Caribbean plantation home with modern architectural features. It is actually a collection of small structures, or pavilions.
Tobago Villa 7490 unashamedly takes advantage of the climate, the beautiful views and the seclusion offered by its hillside perch.
This is an exceptionally peaceful and private spot, ideal for those who want to get away from it all.
A luxurious, well appointed three en suite bedroom villa, with a new family room which can be converted in to a fourth bedroom, designed by the acclaimed Trinidadian architect Roger Turton, whose credo is reflected in the villa's design which speaks of a reverential respect for the environment.
Split across two levels, comfortably accommodating up to ten adults. The generosity of design allows for more than a dozen patios and courtyards.
As the names suggest, the bedrooms: the Caribbean Room, the Blue Room and the Master Bedroom, each possess a unique character. Each bedroom has en suite bathroom.
The pleasing similarity is in their ability to embrace the natural environment while providing all the creature comforts of home.
The family room allows the additional guests with one double and one single bed.
Each room benefits from the magnificent ocean views and wonderful tropical breezes.
The main accommodation is on the entrance level, with the pool area on a lower level, also at this level is an enclosed sitting area, fourth bedroom/family room, and the barbeque and bar area.
