We have just spent a very enjoyable two weeks at Villa de Lena on a family holiday (dad, mum & 2 adult children) on our first trip to Tobago. The only reasons we didn't give it 5 stars were: we had very high expectations from the description; the pool is great for lounging around but slightly too small for serious swimmimg and an awkward shape underwater ("pool toe" from the sloping sides is a common observation in the house guest book); the sea 300m away is a concrete jetty in the mangrove on the edge of Buccoo reserve where many of the local tour boats operate from so there is no access to the beach or for swimming.
Service at the villa was very helpful and friendly (Velma the house keeper and Clive the head gardener). The accommodation was excellent, with plenty of space and well equipped.
Access is via an un-made road (Bon Accord Estate Road) off Milford Road and the villa is identifiable on Google Earth so we had no trouble finding it straight from the airport on our own. The locals seem to know it as the big white house on the bumpy road: a basic, but accurate description.
We were very sorry to have to leave when our time was up.
No hesitation about recommending it.
