Awesome Luxury and Art Villa - Tamarindo - Villas for Rent in Tamarindo, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Wonderful home for large groups. Great location, fully stocked kitchen, great spaces to relax and the pool environment is special.

We really enjoyed our stay. Perfect for a big group.

We had a great time in Tamarindo and Villa Don Vito was perfect for our large family gathering. Private and peaceful but close enough to coffee, restaurants and the beach. There was plenty to do for the kids: swimming, pool table, ping pong, board games etc. The home is spacious and well designed. The adults had enough personal and private space. The kitchen is large and there is plenty of room for multiple people at once. The staff is very quick to fulfill requests like restaurant and excursion recommendations, extra towels, laundry service, etc. They were able to keep the home clean throughout our stay, while still being considerate of our privacy. We are already planning our next trip!

My family stayed here June 5th thru 9th.  The house is perfect for a large family gathering. Every bedroom was very unique and inviting. The living room area was great for catching up and playing games .. Kids loved the pool and pool table along with the board games at the house. The concierge Melissa was very helpful and responded quickly when we had any issues. Overall a great house and great location!

The 8 bedrooms were perfect for all our friends. We enjoyed the pool and the lounge area outside. The large table was perfect for the 12 of us. We had meals prepared 3 nights and the kitchen was set up perfectly. The common space is very comfortable and everyone’s bedrooms seemed to be quite comfortable.

Villa Don Vito exceeded our expectations in every way. I found myself inviting friends and family who were staying elsewhere to come see how fantastic it was. Such unique architecture and so well done with every bedroom being en suite makes it very nice for multiple families.

We had a great stay with our three couples and four kids. The huge house has tons of rooms and baths for everyone and very comfortable beds. The pool was amazing, with plenty of sun and shade throughout the day and many seating options. The fresh towels every morning were an awesome addition. (One suggestion: add towel hooks to those posts on the patio by the couch; there were few spots to hang towels after using them.) The house felt very private and secure and was located just outside the hustle of the center of town, which was great. Overal,l we loved our stay, thanks for having us!!

Villa Don Vito was truly incredible. This was our annual summer house trip with a big group of friends and this was the best trip ever. The house was truly incredible and we loved every minute of it. So close to downtown Tamarindo and felt extremely safe at all time. The pool was amazing and the monkeys in the trees above the pool were a blast to see! Each room was truly perfect and couldn’t have asked for more. The daily cleaning is truly awesome as well especially with a big group and the team took perfect care of us. Thanks for everything and we will be back I have no doubt!

Really enjoyed our stay. The house well-accommodated our group of 4 adults and 5 children. The location was good - very close to almost everything. Was hoping for a bit more beach toys for the kids based on the description and price, but it was certainly not a deal-breaker.

Beautiful, spacious home perfect for 4 families. The daily maid service was much appreciated.

The place was perfect and the management team was very responsive to all our needs. Would definitely rent again

We really appreciate being able to stay at Carlos’s place. He was quick to respond to the AC issues we were having and had the place cleaned daily. We were very surprised to find there were other people staying on the property behind the kitchen door and would have appreciated knowing that prior. Also, out of their control, but the road was being worked on the entire visit so we were unable to leave somedays. The house is also located off a very very busy road but close to down town Tamarindo- nice to be close, but stressful to get around. Overall the house was great for the family time we needed, but could use some updates soon.

Great place to enjoy. Close to the tourist area. Lots of construction around but the place was worth it. Communication was great any last-minute changes they were able to accommodate us.

Amazing house, within a short walk to the Tamarindo nightlife. Carlos and team were responsive and the maid service went above and beyond. Hope to return again.

This place was absolutely PERFECT!!  Melissa helped us with every request - helping us set up golf carts, providing fantastic recommendations for a surf instructor, recommending an excellent dive instructor, helping us with a private chef and band - extremely responsive.  The house is just as depicted in the photos.  We were a group of three families - 3 school age children, 3 couples and two adult children.  Everyone had their own bedroom and bath.  So nice!  Especially nice was the daily housekeeping service.  We ordered the daily breakfast and it did not disappoint!  Thank you for making a lifetime of memories!!!

INCROYABLE! What a beautiful home. Perfect for large groups. We loved walking to the beach and coming home to enjoy our private pool. A few things to note: lots of construction is happening in the area, so it was a bit noisy. I imagine this will ease up by next year. And once it does, this place will officially be the vacation home of our dreams. Loved how the bathrooms are built off the exterior of the home, giving an indoor/outdoor feel, but in the most luxurious way possible. Bedding was delightful and the kitchen was a JOY to work in! All of the fixtures, decor, and art made for an unforgettable stay for myself and 10 ladies for my yearly retreat! ￼Frederico (the groundskeeper) and the cleaning staff were very accommodating and on top of things! ￼ Gracias, everyone! What a gift to enjoy Villa Don Vito. We will definitely be back.

Somehow this place is even better than the pictures. This was the perfect way to celebrate my big milestone birthday. The pool was our favorite hangout, the kitchen and grills and dining room accommodated our one night of having a dinner at home, and was super walkable to downtown area. Great house, host, and overall experience

I can’t say enough great things about this villa. It was perfect for a large group, clean, spacious, and the staff and concierge went above and beyond. I would recommend this to any large group of friends or family.

I can describe it one word, PARADISE! The pictures actually don't do this remarkable property justice. Step in the backyard and transport yourself into a lush jungle oasis. Extremely clean with a wonderful staff. The hosts are very responsive, answering all questions very quickly. All of their recommendations were top notch . If Tamarindo is your destination, Villa Don Vito is where you should stay!

My stay at Villa Don Vito was nothing short of amazing. There was no stone unturned. Service was excellent. Concierge was so amazing. We had the absolute best time

The pictures doesn’t do this home justice. Amazing house great hosts.

The place looked just like the pictures.  The staff was extremely helpful and fulfilled every request.  Every service we booked was on time and professional.  The last was very nice and everyone in my party had a great time, we discussed coming back.

Great house located close to town. 10-11 minute walk to beach. 8 minute walk to town. Perfect for large family or friend groups. Housekeeping/groundskeeper  staff were wonderful and took care of us our entire stay.  Would happily stay here again and would recommend to others in a heart beat.

This place was amazing!! We came with a big group to celebrate all of our 30th birthdays, and it was totally perfect for our trip. It was spacious and so beautiful, and the perfect location for walking to restaurants and walking to the beach every day to surf. The pool was dreamy, and we saw monkeys, a giant iguana, and lots of frogs right in our backyard. The staff was so incredible, kind, and communicative. They were very responsive to anything we needed, and did a great job cleaning every day which we really appreciated. Thank you so so much Villa Don Vito!!

Great place if you have a large group.  We had 16 people ranging from 8 years old to 82.  Perfect for everyone.  Convenient to everything.  Place was super clean.  Cleaning staff was there daily and were amazing.  We had a couple of minor issues not even worth mentioning but what is worth mentioning is the owner response to those issues.  They were taken care of right away!  Owner was super helpful with arranging for a golf cart rental and setting up transportation for two of my family to and from the airport.  Golf cart broke down one morning and owner was there within five minutes with their own golf cart and had called the rental company to come out and replace the broken cart.  You can tell they take pride in their property.  Would definitely recommend and would certainly stay there again! Great place!

Fantastic House - we had a group of 12 and the house was perfect.  Great location to walk to town and beaches.  Cleaning people were amazing as well.

This is a really great space for a large group. (We were 17, aged 2 -70.) The house is beautiful, better than the photos, and the staff is absolutely amazing. The location is great, especially if you want to be close to nightlife and restaurants. the only downfall is its proximity to roads, construction, and loud people at night coming home from the bars. Not a problem if that's what you're there for, but it was slightly bothersome to us, with kids going to bed early and others wanting to sleep in. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again though.

Our Family of 15 had an amazing time at Villa Don Vito. The house is even more beautiful than the pictures. It was perfect for our big group with 5 kids. Mariana made our vacation so easy. She made great recommendations and was always very responsive. Her recommendation regarding golf carts was absolutely critical. Particularly with older family members and young kids I’d highly recommend the golf carts. Everyone agreed that Villa Don vito is one of the best Airbnb rentals we have had.

Very beautiful villa, conveniently located near everything! The staff, especially concierge was extremely helpful with ensuring everything we wanted to do and needed was taken care of. An all around top tier experience.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Don Vito. Mariana and the girls were truly amazing. It’s less than 5 minutes walking to the beach and the local shops. Villa Don Vito offered a host of activities for our group to participate in. Every morning they prepared breakfast, cleaned our rooms, brought fresh towels. It’s was truly amazing to be pampered on our vacation. It was also enjoyable to have the mini rainforest/tropical oasis in our backyard. I would recommend them arranging your travel from the SJO airport to the villa as it is a 4:30 hr drive and then renting an vehicle from Tamarindo to get around should you choose. There is an American brand  rental car company down the street from the villa(believe enterprise or national) Our group did the catamaran(walked to the location) and Zipline ( had them pick us up).

Best Airbnb I've ever stayed at by a mile. Unbelievable on many fronts. Loved it!

House was great, super cool design and Marianna and team were great!

This AirBNB is exactly how it is described and pictured! It is near everything in Tamarindo so great location. The concierge was a great communicator and helped us with everything that we needed from transportation to dinner reservations! If I ever come to Costa Rica again, I would definitely stay here!

This place was awesome, minute away from everything. The hostess did an amazing job of making sure our stay was perfect. Two things i would suggest is spray bug spay in your room at night and if you are not active you may want to get a cart.

My stay at Villa DoN Vito was exceptional in every way. The pictures don’t do it justice, this is a very beautiful and property located just far enough where you’re not in town but it’s easily accessible through a short walk or golf cart (I recommend renting gold carts). The property easier accommodated 14 guests without feeling cramped. Mariana was a great host helped us organize a trip full of activities and fun. She was extremely responsive and accommodating. If you’re ever traveling to Costa Rica you will be in good safe hands if u decide to stay here

We had an outstanding stay at Villa Don Vito. As others have suggested the pictures do not give it justice. The common space is huge both indoors and out. The pool was a little larger than I expected as well. Location is perfect. We sometime drove down a bit and parked on the side of the road or walked the whole way. The town was mad crazy with cars for the holiday so this worked beautifully for us. Maleba was an excellent concierge and I wish I had used her more. Some earlier reviews are not accurate. She was always available for the few last minutes needs we had.  I would stay here again. Our group of 11 adults were totally comfortable at all times.  Excellent place and the art, art, art!!❤️❤️

This place was everything we could have imagined and even more. Rooms were cleaned every day, hospitality was amazing, breakfast was awesome and Mariana was AMAZING! She helped us so much, was so responsive and did everything she could to make our stay so enjoyable. We would LOVE to come back!

Villa Don Vito was everything we expected and more. The pictures don’t do it justice. This place is bigger than it appears. It’s also a great location. I’d recommend golf carts to get around Tamarindo as the Villa is up the road a bit.

House was amazing!!! Super spacious! Very comfortable. A few ants and bugs but that’s expected as we are in Costa Rica. But we truly appreciated the space and Patrick and the team was great.

The house was truly amazing place for my 30th birthday trip! The villa was beautiful and perfectly designed to have time together, or privacy apart when necessary. Such a tranquil serene experience. And the host Patrick was an amazing communicator and the staff was always near by. We felt safe.

The house was absolutely gorgeous! Luca and his staff were so welcoming and always quick to respond. The house itself is amazing with all its amenities. I would totally recommend to stay here.

The house is exactly as pictured. We were a family of 14 and we were very comfortable. Communication with Luca via WhatsApp was on point. He met us at check in and showed us around the house. The location was perfect for what we wanted to do. We felt safe. We were able to spend time with each other comfortably and relax and enjoy our stay. I would absolutely return to this house.

Let me start by saying this: this home is gorgeous. it's a great space at the edge of Tamarindo, very close to the bank and a grocery store. the pictures are exactly what you receive. We had 14 girls total (originally 16) and even if the other two were able join, we could definitely still be comfortable. I've stayed in a lot of unique Airbnb's, and the decor here and layout is really nice. however there are a few things that complicated the trip for me a little bit. since we're in Costa Rica, there's going to be bugs. however, I had so many ants in my bed, I developed a severe allergic reaction to their bites and had to leave to a hotel. I just got back from Tulum so I know how jungle and bugs work, but in the place I sleep, I really would expect some more protection from them. additionally, because we were in the jungle, the water and electricity went out a few times. for 13 girls trying to get ready, this was difficult. the wifi is also not very fast and I feel like because so many of us were using it, it wouldn't work sometimes. communication with luka could have been a bit better as the pricing for activities was different than the book that was shared and even we paid the new prices, there was miscommunication about what's included in the activities. I luka is nice but for the money paid, the communication could have been a lot better. the cleaning staff I am so appreciative of for keeping us clean and safe. we all left covid free and I thank them for that. Papa was really helpful during our stay and have great recommendations for places to eat or visit. overall, the house was beautiful but with some improvements on communication and better bug protections I think I would have had a better time. this house is perfect for large families or big groups. thanks Carlos and Anna for opening your home to us. thank you Luka for helping us get booked and deal with so many changes! thanks Papa for being a great guide to the area!

Thank you very much Cerise for your comment.  We appreciate that you found it to be a wonderful place to stay.   I would like to apologize for the communication problems that occurred. We are in transition from Patrick, the owner of the villa, to his son Luca for the organization with the guests and we are aware that the communication has not been as smooth as it normally has been. But the transmission of all the necessary info to Luca has already been done, so the disorganization problems you experienced will not be repeated.   Regarding the electricity problem you experienced, it was temporarily solved at the time, while we were able to solve it definitively, which coincided with the day of your departure.

Great place! Looks even better in person!  Comfortably fits large parties! Breakfast was delicious!

The Villa is perfectly located.  It’s private and quiet, yet close to town and the beach.   Luca and the staff did an amazing job of making sure we had everything we needed to make our trip perfect.   We will be back as soon as we can!

Let me start with the good. The house itself is stunning. The pool is lovely to lounge in and around, someone comes to clean it every morning so that it's fresh for the day. There is fun wildlife everywhere and even just sitting in the pool we got to see hummingbirds, motmots and pixar-level cute, baby lizards. The kitchen is stocked amazingly well for people who love to cook and we made a few feasts at home during our stay. The beds are very comfortable. The common areas are perfect for group hangs and the location in relation to Tamarindo's center is great. The less than good- electricity started shooting out of the taps in my bathroom and shocked the crap out of me and my boyfriend. We told the host but it wasn't fixed during our stay- I guess because our stay was short, but it didn't feel like they were as alarmed as I was by the situation. As for communication with the hosts, I would say that was the most frustrating part of staying at this AirBnb. You don't communicate with the hosts but rather their point people- Patrick and Luca. They are tremendously kind and lovely people but they are not organized at all. It took me 8 different asks over the span of several days to establish if my group could get late check out. We needed to know so we could book our covid tests. Once we switched to What's App, the response times were much faster, so I would recommend asking for the What's App immediately and skipping trying to communicate with them via E-mail. Also, I decided to book some activities through Patrick/Luca (which they recommend) and did so several days before the vacation. When I arrived, none of our activities were booked, despite e-mail exchanges that made me think otherwise. This turned into a huge problem during the trip where I had to rearrange plans and activities when inevitably things weren't available. It was not how I wanted to spend my vacation time. I will say, the guide they booked for the Mangrove boat tour was magnificent, as was the masseuse. The guide for the hike through Rincon however was disappointing and I think you can find a better guide yourself. All in all, my recommendation would be to book your own activities to save yourself a massive amount of stress. But as a home base, the house was beautiful and luxurious and made my friend group feel like they were living in a reality show dreamworld. Living by the beach, hearing the monkeys nearby and swimming surrounded by the luscious garden definitely made this Airbnb a wonderful place to stay.

Awesome! My 8 guest and I enjoyed immensely. Walking distance to town and the concierge made everything convenient for us. Do yourself the favor and book Cheffe Aurore

Villa don Vito was a wonderful stay. My friends and I truly loved this house. Very spacious and big lots of rooms and bed. We woke up to breakfast and clean house each morning. Pool was beautiful as well as the interior design in the house very very beautiful they did amazing with this property. One thing I will say is that the cleaners live right next door, they have ways inside the house. It does get a bit uncomfortable knowing that they can show up at anytime. But apart from that everything regarding our stay was perfect. I would highly highly recommend.

This is a gorgeous villa. It is not located on the beach and it is slightly on a hill but the property is beautiful. Some of the rooms with single beds look more like sofas. Do not book excursions or taxi services through the villa as it will be outrageously priced. For example, I asked for a one-way transfer to Playa Hermosa and I was quoted $95. I went into town and negotiated a $50 fare. The same thing goes for excursions.

I want to thank you first of all for your comment, although I have to admit that it doesn't seem fair to me.  Let me explain:   - We do not charge a surcharge, we charge the price that the transport or the activities charge to all the villas in Tamarindo.   - Of course, if you organize everything and contact directly the transport or the tour, you have a negotiation capacity and you can get a better price, because they save having to pay us commission for taking the client to them.   But of course, what are the advantages of booking with our concierge:   1. He will recommend you the best experiences with the best tour providers, who have all the permits and licenses up to date.   2. He will hire the safest and most reliable transportation companies with all permits and licenses up to date.   3. He will save you time and guarantee you the best possible experience.  And at the price defined by the tour or transportation company, we do not set the rate, and then they give us a commission for organizing everything for them and taking the client.   We could tell of very bad experiences of tourists who preferred to organize everything themselves instead of letting us take care of it.  Believe me, even if you can get a better price by organizing everything directly, it is not worth risking your vacation.

I have traveled a lot but this is one of the best Air BnBs I have ever stayed in. They exceeded expectations on every level with their service and every detail of the home was thoughtfully planned out and executed.

The place is very good and the social areas are excellent. There are really certain little things that could be inconvenient like the car park which is very small, the pool which is not tempered and the water pressure in some rooms. But overall the family had a great time and the place is very nice.

El lugar es muy bonito y las áreas sociales son excelentes. Realmente hay ciertas cositas que podrían ser un inconveniente como el parqueo de carros que es muy pequeño, la piscina que no es temperada y la presión del agua en algunos cuartos. Pero en general la familia la paso muy bien y el lugar es muy agradable.

Great place that’s a short walk to beach.  Took a group of 12 there and fit us very comfortably.  Anything you need they will help take care of for you.  Everything as advertised.  I’d stay again.

This villa exceeded all of our expectations. The place is just stunning, spacious and luxurious, while comfortable and entertaining. Additionally, there is a cleaning team that comes every morning which helped with keeping the place tidy. We were impressed by the activity and services options available, to the point that we did not even want to leave the villa. For example there is an option to hire a private chef, a masseuse, musicians, among others. We took up Luca on surfing lessons and we had a blast. The best part was the friendliness and attention from the host, who constantly made sure all our needs were addressed. Our only regret was not staying longer. This is hands down the best Airbnb experience we have had. We can not recommend it enough.

Wow. If you're traveling with a family there is no more magical setup than this one. Each pocket had it's own space, but we were always together at the same time. The host is the best, and I can't recommend this place enough.

Hermosa casa, para descansar como se debe.

Out of many comparable stays, Don Vito continues to stand out. To celebrate a special occasion, my husband and I invited 10 of our friends to join us to surf and enjoy Tamarindo at Don Vito. We considered other locations, but chose Don Vito because it seemed best for creating quality group time, which for us, translates into memorable moments. We're greatful for chosing Don Vito, the pool, living room, and outdoor patio were where our most memorable group moments occurred. We also loved competing in small teams nightly to prep dinner for the larger group, thanks to Don Vito's large and fullly-stocked kitchen. Based on our experience, the villa offers value beyond luxury lodging - the group dynamic that it fosters, brings a magic to time there that is uniquely special and something we have not found in our stays at similar locations. Other thoughts: while the group bonding time was our favorite aspect of the villa, it definitely felt amazing watching the reactions of our guests entering the villa and the kudos we recieved for finding such an incredible location. Also, the Villa is the perfect backdrop for any social media enthusiasts. In terms of provided support, it could not have been an easier experience staying at Don Vito or working with Patrick and his staff. Our group was especially high-maintenance because of the volume and unpredictability of our planned activities (mainly surfing), but Patrick not only offered help in answering questions in preparation for our stay, but also found rates we could not find ourselves on expenses like the shuttles or our catamaran cruise. Also, Don Vita chefs (Dunia!) were extremely accomidating with our last-minute/fluctuating timelines for breakfast - even offering to serve breakfast before dawn so we could make a sunrise surf session. Additionally, Don Vito was able to provid us with assistance with things like filtered water, ice, coolers, bug repellent, extra sunscreen, interior/exterior audio speakers for the house (Bluetooth enabled), yoga mats/blocks down to smaller needs like ziplock bags. Overall, I rarely take time to do reviews (mainly due to the time it takes), but made a point for Don Vito because I hope others have a chance to experience a trip at special as ours and moreover I wanted to a chance to publicly thank Patrick, his staff, and their venue. Pura vida!

The space truly one of a kind and is a close walking distance to the town and far enough for a quiet stay.  Thank you to Patrick and the staff for going above and beyond to make sure that our first trip to Costa Rica was memorable.  Mucho gracias!
