If youâre searching for an experience then this is your destination!! Villa Escalante is a modern architect designed gem, nestled in the Main Ridge Forest.
The Villa is designed to capture the view of Englishmanâs Bay and the Main Ridge, a perfect spot for viewing both the flora and fauna. The Main Ridge Forest is a designated UNESCO biosphere reserve. The architect designed the villa so that nearly every living space has a 180-degree view.
Had a fabulous vacation at Villa Escalante overlooking the picturesque Englishman's Bay. The Villa has the most beautiful views of the bay, was always a great way to start the morning watching and listening to the sounds of the ocean.
The host [Donna] was very responsive during the booking process and answered all our questions very quickly. The housekeeper [Anne] and groundskeepers [Mr. Buffalo] we're also very pleasant.
The Villa had everything we needed during our stay, we really enjoyed have access to a gas grill, as we cooked most of our meals at the property. Make sure to get some fresh fish at one of the local villages.
Would definitely recommend this Villa to anyone looking for a peaceful location in this general area of Tobago.
The villa's uninterrupted view of Englishman's Bay is spectacular. This is the PERFECT location, a short drive from Castara, Parlatuvier and Bloody Bay. (We had the best beach experience at Parlatuvier this time.)
The house has so many thoughtful, fun touches. The kitchens were so well appointed. Everything was absolutely clean, comfortable and welcoming.
Communication was clear and checking in and out were a breeze. We'd love to come again for a longer stay.
I've worn many hats, as a double major in geology and zoology I have the unique opportunity to see the natural geological beauty and the flora and fauna of this unique island of Tobago. I've had the opportunity to visit such places as Scotland, England, Norway, Brazil, Italy, France, Switzerland, Jamaica, USA, Canada, Malaysia, Venezuela, Mexico, Thailand, and New Zealand. My latest ongoing adventures are to experience the magnificence of the National Parks of the USA. In my spare time when I'm not traveling I devote my energy in back yard gardening, providing nesting sites for local birds and planting natives plants to attract the butterflies, bees and other beneficial insects.
Anyone traveling to this part of the island of Tobago always make a stop at the iconic Englishman's Bay look out. When this property became available it was without hesitation that the decision to purchase was made. The view is incredible and the design of the building enhances the experience.
The benefit of designing and building this villa is that the occupants have a view from literally any part of the house. The Penthouse is vey unique in that even from the kitchen there is an almost 180 degree view. The lower floor has ceiling to floor glass which affords unique views. The schools of fish in the bay can be seen shifting like giant amoebas and gulls frantically diving to satisfy their hunger are a must see sight. Boaters visit the bay for fishing, scuba diving and even stopping off to take a splash and relax on the beach. To the avid birder there many opportunities to observe many types of birds from this location without even leaving the villa. To the astronomer, both professional and amateur the night sky is amazing. Don't take my word for it. Villa Escalante is not far from other major attractions on this side of the island but what's unique is that wherever your travel you can always return to the solitude and beauty of Englishman's Bay.
