Very comfortable accommodation, after all it is where we live when we are on Tobago!
The view across the bay is the reason we built here !

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.

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.

    Castara is a friendly and welcoming village and Carpe Diem villa is a lovely place to stay with everything you need for a peaceful and relaxing holiday. It is a well kept and maintained house and you will not be disappointed ?

    The property is just as we expected and better - it really is a beautiful location, great views, wonderful bed and facilities with a big bathroom The veranda is stunning with the views and the visiting birds. Chris and Yvonne the owners were staying and they made our stay even better - definitely use their driver Pandey who is also wonderful and will take you to places you would never normally see.

    Carpe Diem is a fantastic place to stay while in Castara. Possibly the most beautiful unspoiled location in Tobago. We completely enjoyed our stay there. The most incredible view of Castara bay, stunning sunset! Rooms are clean bright and airy Great bathroom and shower. Perfect location in the village. Chris and Yvonne make great hosts, very helpful and knowledgeable of the area. You are made to feel very welcome and at ease. Carpe Diem!
