Villa Description
Tara has undergone a total refurbishment making this beautifully designed villa an ideal vacation rental. Tara sits at the end of a tranquil road for excellent seclusion. Overlooking magnificent sea views and perfectly sited to capture refreshing trade winds, this four-pavilion property is arranged hillside in a private garden setting. From the parking area, a staircase leads up to Tara's large terrace and to the pool. Tara's first pavilion, on the west side of the pool, offers a romantic air-conditioned king suite with a 4-poster bed, TV and DVD player, a large balcony and an outdoor stone shower. The larger main pavilion on the opposite side of the pool and terrace comprises of the Great Room where you can relax in the overstuffed sofas and watch your favourite TV programs or listen to the wide choice of music through the Bose surround sound system. Just outside the Great Room is a covered outdoor living area overlooking Smuggler's Cove and islands beyond. This wraparound verandah also borders the superbly-equipped gourmet kitchen, which opens to the pool terrace. Here you'll find a thatched tiki bar complete with convenient ice-maker, a small fridge for cold drinks, and a fully stocked honour bar, perfect for shady relaxation. Adjoining the Great Room on the east side is a covered garden pavilion with a fountain, set for dining with views through arched windows of the ocean beyond. Off the dining terrace is the third pavilion comprising of an office equipped with a computer with ADSL line and a printer/scanner/fax machine. The adjoining bathroom then connects directly to Tara's second air-conditioned queen bedroom suite, which opens to a private deck and small garden. Tara's fourth pavilion, an air-conditioned queen suite with its own balcony, is just to the northernmost side and has an outdoor stone shower. Tara has been decorated in Caribbean colours, together with original artwork and eclectic pieces collected from world travels, with cool tile floors, brick, and native stone walls and planters surrounded by tropical, lush gardens.
Trudi's Personal View
Nestled in the protected lush hills on the northwest coast of Tortola above Smuggler's Cove, Tara is located in an enviable position close to pristine beaches, yet still within a short drive over the hill to Soper's Hole/West End for restaurants, shops and ferries to Jost van Dyke, St John and St Thomas. An elegant, very private 3-bedroom villa with far-reaching ocean views, Tara offers first class amenities and quality furnishings throughout. The owners have made their home very desirable by their attention to detail and have left no stone unturned. The panoramic ocean views are truly magnificent from every angle of this spacious villa. An excellent choice for both families and couples alike.
