Gorgeous place with comfortable beds and stunning views of the costa line. Plenty of animal life sightings: monkeys, toucans, deers, pisotes and more. Beautiful neighborhood for nature walking with gorgeous vistas. Just be aware that it a long and bumpy drive from the main road/beach/restaurants so pack and plan accordingly! The hosts were attentive and always responsive.

Amazing home to stay while visiting the OSA peninsula for a month. We were surrounded by wildlife and the view is stunning. Everyday felt like a dream! The tennis courts were fun as well for the family to get some fun playing time! Two amazing pools for swimming and the roof top terrace was very peaceful and also offered a shady morning spot under the palm tree to have a morning coffee. Watching the stars at night was also nice from the rooftop with all the lights off the sky lit up like I’ve never seen before. Be prepared for a bit of a drive up the mountain but once you’re there it’s totally worth the rocky road up to the top. The property management company was very helpful and always quick to respond to our questions or concerns. My only recommendation would be for the property owner to supply wooden cutting boards instead of only plastic / better cooking pans not deteriorating Teflon pans and a solid wood bbq scraper. Those small changes I think would go a long way! PV!

Epic views up the coast. Incredible house. Very private. Host was very responsive and communicative. Great for those who want nature an amazing view and pool and cooking at home. Kitchen was stocked. Great grill. Note: you need 4x4 and it’s quite a trek up the mountain but it’s worth it for the view. Plan ahead and stop at grocery store!

Roberto, Diana, and Persephone were exceptional hosts. Very responsive and helpful. The house was amazing but a bit of an adventure up the mountain to it. Will use them again.

We stayed 11 days and absolutely loved it. I wasn't sure about being that far up the mountain, but would do it again in a heartbeat. Surrounded by mature trees, the views, especially of whale's tail, are stunning. We saw so much wildlife right from the property, including monkeys, coati, and toucans. Watching hummingbirds hover around the palm tree and a sky full of stars from the rooftop deck was incredible. The home was spotless, the bed and indoor/outdoor furniture were very comfortable, and the kitchen was spacious, accommodating, and well stocked. Plenty of towels and basics like laundry soap were provided. A/C worked great, though the breezes and ceiling fans kept us cool. The tap water was better than bottled water. We felt safe in the gated community, and the property management team went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. Villa Tranquila is the perfect name for this home, everything is even better than the photos. Highly recommend!!

Can’t say enough amazing things about this place. As amazing as it looked online it’s more impressive in person. The location is remote and you feel buried in the jungle but still 20 minutes from the heart of Uvita. We saw so many animals during our stay…family of monkeys, coatimundis, toucans, tree frogs. We cook a lot and the kitchen was amazing. The property is 2 large bedrooms both with king beds and a separate casita with king bed and bathroom and its own kitchen. The view every morning when we hit the remote on the electric shades to reveal the whales tail was amazing.

Класний будинок в неймовірному місці. Так, далеко на пагорбах, але воно того варте. Сам будинок просторний, чистий і вишуканий. Менеджмент проявив гарну комунікацію і робить свою справу відмінно, дякую. Класний вид на хвіст і узбережжя Пунтаренас. Дуже вдячний за можливість провести декілька днів в такій красі.
