Cielo: Luxury Villas, Tortola
TORTOLA
Cielo
5 BEDROOMS / 5 BATHS

CIELO (formerly known as Fawlty Towers, now more aptly named) means "heaven," and this villa is truly heavenly! The entry courtyard with its colorful bougainvillea, banana and palm trees welcomes you into Cielo, a relaxing and totally private hideaway set high on a hillside on Tortola's desirable northwest coast with simply breathtaking, sweeping views of Cane Garden Bay, St. John, St. Thomas, and green islets beyond. Five pavilions offer spacious seclusion. The first of the poolside pavilions houses the large Great Room with bamboo blinds and a curved sofa dressed in bright fabrics, and connects to the very well-equipped kitchen pavilion via a cool lanai set for alfresco dining. Just outside the Great Room is a covered area overlooking the coralstone-tiled pool courtyard, fringed with palms, trees and flowering tropical plants, perfect for gathering for sunset cocktails. Cielo's third pavilion is Palm Suite, a two-story retreat with a sitting room on the main level (this sitting room offers a sofabed for children under 16, great for preteens and teenagers), and two staircases which lead to its very private king bedroom/bath suite below; Palm Suite's bedroom/bath suite has its own sun deck and a double hammock. Across the sunny pool deck is Cielo's fourth pavilion offering the Calypso Suite, an air-conditioned poolside queen bedroom/bath suite. On this pavilion's upper level are two more air-conditioned bedroom/bath suites, the king Oasis and Bougainvillea Suites. The king (or two-twin) Bougainvillea Suite features its own step-out balcony looking over the entry courtyard with views of green mountains beyond. The Oasis Suite's balcony looks out to relaxing ocean views. The fifth pavilion, Coral Cottage, is accessed via a curved stone staircase from the pool courtyard or from the secret garden connecting this pavilion to the fourth pavilion. Coral Cottage pavilion is a very secluded haven, housing an air-conditioned queen suite with its own private patio for sunbathing and an enticing alfresco shower. Cielo is generally breezy and comfortable in the summer months due to its high elevation; it's perfectly situated to easterly tradewinds, celebrating glorious island alfresco living. Artfully designed to provide both togetherness and seclusion, this serene villa with flower-laden gardens, native stonework, colorful tiles and gingerbread trim blends its bright, light and easygoing aura with constant cool breezes and ever-changing sea views to provide a special ambience for families and friends seeking a most special Caribbean experience.
