TAINO - exotic 3 bedroom villa with fabulous pool, everyone's favourite!

Taino's beautiful tropical grounds & unique decor have been lovingly created & nurtured by its artistic owners. Unusual & interesting artefacts adorn every curve & corner of this elegant villa, but the sweeping ocean views really do steal the show.
Taino has a real air of calm & tranquility but is still within 2miles of 2 of our favourite beaches (& their handful of laid-back beach bars & beachfront restaurants).

Remember to follow our socials @villasoftortola for all things BVI!

While it has a tasteful Caribbean flair, Villa Taino also has a sumptuous comfort thanks to the beautiful, rich, wood furniture, and bold use of colour in the furnishings. The fact that Villa Taino has many repeat guests who are drawn back year after year is a testament to the comfort, the ambiance and of course the service that you'll experience here!

LIVING AREAS:
The living areas are large, comfortable open spaces that flow into each other, making for an easy-going atmosphere whether you are friends or a family holidaying together. It's commanding position on a ridge means that Villa Taino is able to take advantage of the trade winds that wrap around the hillside. 

The main living area is on the porch next to the pool, covered by a high, circular roof and open to the stunning ocean views on the sides. You'll find sumptuously cushioned oversize furniture and various seating arrangements for kicking back and enjoying the breezes.

The kitchen is well equipped with everything you'll need for self catering and a large opening in the wall through to the dining room makes preparing dinner easy and enjoyable. Off the dining room is an alfresco dining porch with a teak table and a Weber gas grill for grilling up some local lobster and enjoying with an ocean view. Also accessed from the dining room is the library, housing the TV and a collection of games.

BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS:
1) In a separate wooden pavilion off the pool deck is the Master Suite. It's a large airy screened-in room with more breathtaking views - you won't even have to move from your king size four poster bed to see them! You'll also have a private porch with ocean views which is surely your new morning coffee spot.

2&3) Winding stairs from the hallway lead to the two stylish and eclectically decorated bedrooms with queen beds. Both have large en-suite bathrooms. All bedrooms have screened windows.

STEP OUTSIDE:
Surrounded by tropical palms, you'll enter your very own private paradise through a large wooden gate that opens onto the stunning pool and deck. This area just begs for you to relax enjoy a good book and a cocktail, while admiring the elegant sailing yachts or sleek power boats out on the ocean in front of you. There are plenty of comfy loungers for catching some rays, and your crystal swimming pool feels as if it reaches right out into the ocean beyond. It's a very magical spot.


NOTE
AC: There is AC in all bedrooms & ceiling fans throughout

WIFI: There is Wifi

HOUSEKEEPING: is once every 5-7 days. All linen and towels will be changed and a general cleaning will be done. Daily housecleaning can be arranged at your own expense.

Breathtaking Views
An absolutely amazing time at this villa!! The views from the photos did not lie one bit. Each morning waking up to a crystal clear view of Jost was great. We also we able to enjoy a few spectacular sunsets as well. The property managers were very easy to communicate with and provided any infromation that was requested. Most of the common areas are open air rooms, so you will need bug spray. This was not an issue for us, but felt it was worth noting. Everything in the house was kept very clean and in good working order. The bedrooms were nicely sized and had very good working AC units in each. THE POOL... Amazing!!! Well kept and the lighting in the evening made it really pop. All-in-all an excellent villa to relax at for a week...

Amazing Villa
The property was absolutely amazing with stunning views. The management team are extremely attentive. One day Pinkie brought us pastries from the French Deli because we had issues with our freezer which was immediately repaired. We loved Smugglers Cove which is very near the Villa. Lots of fine restaurants just a short drive away. Pictures do not do this Villa justice. Be prepared to be “wowed”!

Incredible
We had a wonderful time at Taino. The property is so comfortable, beautifully furnished, and nothing short of a visual feast. We ended up canceling one of our day trips from Tortola so we could spend more time at the house! Bring bug spray, as the bug bites were our only hassle the entire trip. 5 stars. Would love to return again and again.

Gorgeous Views
This place can't be beat when it comes to the views - they are as gorgeous as anything we've seen! We would drink our morning coffee watching the sailboats start their morning excursions! The location is right where restaurants and beaches can easily be reached. We were in the beautiful pool everyday - it was clean and refreshing - and, once again, the view from it was amazing! We highly recommend Taino!

Private home with a great view
The home is situated at the top of a very steep hill and provides great views of Smugglers Cove and Long Bay Beach. The pool is spectacular. Some of the furniture is a bit dated and could use reupholstering. Other than the bedrooms there is no air conditioning. Ceiling fans on the outside veranda would be a nice addition and might help keep the pesky mosquitoes away. The management company gets an A+.

Great property with beautiful view
This property is located up the side of a steep mountain which gives you great view of the island and a couple bays. Smugglers Cove/Lower Belmont Bay is a very short drive and was our favorite beach on the island (calm water and sandy). The property itself is nice, the bedrooms have good A/C. Wifi works great. Good outdoor furniture for lounging. There is also a super nice view from the pool and its a great place to watch the sunset. Having a washer/dryer on premise is very nice as well. Towels were available. All the cooking amenities were there including an outdoor grill/stove/coffee maker/blender/microwave/dishwasher/etc. We did a lot of cooking and they had the very basics like salt/pepper but do pack in any seasonings/oil you may need. You will want a car with good clearance and 4WD is probably a good idea. Overall a great property and I would recommend it!

Beautiful Views
We spent a week here in July and pictures do not do this place justice. The views are amazing and the infinity pool is large and a nice respite from the heat. We normally don’t use the pools at our rentals very much but we used this pool every day after coming in from exploring the beaches. Definitely our favorite rental over the years!! The home is immaculate and had everything we needed. The beds are comfortable, linens are great and the air condition in the bedrooms worked great! Don’t hesitate just book this property. You will not regret it!

Views and privacy
We loved our week-long stay at Villa Taino. The views are just amazing. We spent many hours enjoying the pool deck and outdoor living spaces, but the sunsets really steal the show. The three bedroom and bathrooms made it easy for my husband and I to have space away from our two teen boys, but we all gathered in the main living spaces as well. Smuggler's Cove was our favorite beach, and we had great meals at the Sugar Mill and D'Coalpot nearby. Beds were super comfy, and the kitchen was well stocked.

Only God Has A Better View!
The house sits at an elevation of 525 feet above Long Bay Beach and only God has a better view, which can only be described as panoramic. As the sun rises in the morning the blue waters of Long Bay and Smuggler’s Cove below become more dazzling by the minute. Jost sits several miles off to the northwest but you feel like you could reach out and touch it. We spent many relaxed hours on the pool deck just watching the day unfold as the sailboats passed on the water below and then near sunset we would slip into the pool to watch the sky light up as the sun fell into the sea. After dark, we marveled at the stars above and the twinkling lights of far-off St. Thomas. The grounds of the villa are almost as equally as impressive as the view. There was a lushness of flowering plants, some of which I had never seen before. A bird with the sweetest song came and serenaded us each day as he sat in the tree just off of the eastward facing patio. We thought of him as a friend and gave him a name. Sometimes we would sit on the deck and marvel that the only sounds we could hear were our friend the bird, the wind rustling through the palms, and the distant sound of crashing waves on the beach below. So much of the time here was no man-made sound…This must be what it sounded like in these islands 500 years ago. Finally, the staff that we worked with, both before and during our stay, were fantastic. I can highly recommend this house.

Wow…
The pictures don’t do this house justice. I will warn you, the roads are tricky so if you fear heights, sharp turns and one lane roads this might not be the house for you. If you can get past all that, you will be in paradise….or let Eric (taxi) drive you around. Visit the beaches, they all have something different to share. We did smugglers and ate at both beach bars and they were great (cash only). We then spent some time at Cane bay and you will want to visit when the cruise ships aren’t there. Let’s talk restaurants, you need to try Sugar Mill, 1748 and Bananakeets, make a reservation ahead of time. They all have great food. There was bingo at Sabastians on Thursday nights, check it out. Take the ferry or private charter to Jost, great bars!! The house was amazing, beds were comfortable and the view was perfect.

Amazing views!!!
It’s hard to describe how amazing the views are from the villa. We spent 5 days sitting on the porch, swimming in the pool and taking in the incredible surroundings. The house is fully stocked with everything you could need. We used the grill every night of the week to cook steaks and seafood. The lush landscape and setting of the house make you feel like you are in a private oasis. The roads to get to the house are steep, so you need a 4 wheel drive but once you make it to the top, the journey is well worth the effort. We will definitely be back!!

Amazing villa with fantastic view and amenities
The pictures of Taino don't lie. The villa is every bit as impressive as the photos show. We stayed for a week in June. The weather was hot and dry, but the trade winds kept us comfortable on the veranda. The view from the pool and veranda did not disappoint, and we honestly would never have gotten tired of looking out over the water towards Jost. The view just has to be seen to be believed. The kitchen is well equipped, the furniture is comfortable for lounging. The beds are so comfortable, it's easy to get a good night's sleep, and the bedroom air conditioner kept us cool at night, or when we needed a respite from the heat. Everyone in our party commented on how comfortable the mattresses were. This is not a typical thing to encounter in a rental home. We would definitely stay at Taino again! A few things to know: the "road" to Taino is one lane, rough, steep and contains many speed bumps and switchbacks. Driving it is not for the faint of heart. We opted to have an amazing taxi driver take us to and from dinner as we did not feel confident in driving the road after dark. We navigated it well during the day. The water supply for the house is from cisterns that collect and filter rain water. It's perfectly fine for cooking, showering and brushing your teeth, but you will want to provision lots of bottled water for drinking and making coffee/tea. Unlike other cistern based water I've encountered, this water has no odor or off color. This is an open air house. There are mechanical shutters that close down the openings between the veranda and the interior hallway and dining area, but to get air flow through the non-air conditioned areas, you'll have those shutters opened. In my opinion, this is what makes the house amazing! The house is set in a true tropical oasis. You will see wildlife, and may end up sharing your personal space with some. We rescued and released two anoles from the bedrooms (I love anoles! They are cute and harmless). We encountered iguanas in the garden, birds, anoles, and a snake on the veranda. They won't harm you, and honestly it was cool to see them in their natural habitat. But, keep it in mind if you have anyone who's afraid of critters in your party. Sam and her entire team are kind, helpful and welcoming. We truly felt like we were staying in a home of our own. I would 100% return to Taino. In fact, a return trip is in the works!
