About this property
Carpe Diem Villa-Studio-Sunset 2-Sleeps 2/3-Amazing sea view even from the bed
We have 2 identical bright & airy Studio aptmts, one being the mirror image of the other. Both are located on the lower ground level of our house Carpe Diem Villa. Each studio has a separate entrance & they share the 45ft Balcony which is perfect for Al fresco dining, birdwatching & sunsets!
The Queen size bed is made of local red cedar & has a 'Four poster' style canopy/mosquito net & Sprung mattresses. We have a pull out single bed & a cot for a child that can be requested. Large Whirlpool fridge/f, Saffire stove with integral grill, toaster, electric kettle, cafetière & liquidizer. Crockery/cutlery for 4 + pots/pans. Small Personal safe. Cotton bed linen & towels are provided.
You can see the view without getting out of bed! 2 sets of louvred red cedar doors open out onto the 45ft balcony. The bathrooms are 'Wet rooms', fully tiled and of a good size. The rooms are naturally quite cool but there is a portable and a ceiling fan. The ceiling are high and with the tiled floors stay quite cool throughout the day. Up here we hardly have many mosquitoes at all and a breeze blows most days. We are surround by a good variety of local birds such as MotMots, Ant Shrikes & 5 varieties of hummingbirds. The vegetation is quite lush and we have mango, banana, paw paw and fresh herbs etc growing in the garden. Wi-fi access throughout is very good & perfect if you need to work remotely.
Carpe Diem Villa was completed in late 2007. Half timbered construction over a block ground floor. It is our house and was designed for US to live in and constructed of local materials using all local labour. The whole point of the house was to take advantage of the view of Castara Bay. It is set back and 80 feet above the Northside Road in the village of Castara, a small unspoilt fishing village on the Caribbean coast of Tobago. The 2 Sandy beaches are safe and kept clean by the villagers. Lifeguards are on duty during the day. Come & Swim or snorkel with the Stingrays or Pull the Seine! Walk to the local Waterfall to cool off in the heat of the day
We invest in the community & can help you organise personalised tours into the rainforest, visit waterfalls, take you fishing & then to a BBQ the catch on a secluded beach. Or tours to Nylon Pool & Buccoo reef, Sunday school, visit Little Tobago & Goat Island, Bio Luminance tours, Being with Horses, Chocolate making & so much more The local bars are friendly with locals, expats and visitors all 'liming' together.
