The house is on a very steep hill. Please note that it is very tiring to walk there and that not just any vehicle can go up because the street is not paved. Although it's a bit impractical, it's worth the effort to get there, as it has a stunning view of the jungle that you wouldn't have if it weren't at such a height. Other than that, the house is great: the hosts respond very quickly and are very proactive, the house is in excellent condition, and there is staff who clean the outdoor areas daily without disturbing anyone. The beds are comfortable and the living/dining room/kitchen is a very good size. The bathrooms are clean and have shampoo, soap, and towels for all the guests. Everything in the house works, from the air conditioners to the appliances and outlets. From the house, we went to see a little bit of wildlife, such as monkeys, squirrels and giant moths. It's worth every penny!

La casa se encuentra en una colina muy pronunciada, tomen en cuenta que es muy cansado caminar hasta allá y que no cualquier vehículo puede subir porque la calle no está pavimentada. Aunque sea un poco impráctico, vale la pena tanto esfuerzo para llegar ya que tiene una impresionante vista a la selva la cual no tendía si no se encontrara a tal altura. Fuera de eso la casa es estupenda: los hosts responden muy rápido y son muy proactivos, la casa está en excelentes condiciones y cuentan con personal que limpia las áreas exteriores a diario sin molestar a nadie. Las camas son cómodas y la sala/comedor/cocina tiene muy buen tamaño, los baños están limpios y cuentan con shampoo, jabón y toallas para todos los invitados. Todo en la casa funciona, desde los aires acondicionados hasta los electrodomésticos y enchufes. Desde la casa llegamos a ver un poco de fauna como monos, ardillas y polillas gigantes. Vale la pena cada centavo!

The place was very beautiful, with great views, a lovely pool and an excellent location. Communication with the hosts was perfect and they were very accommodating. The main house is separate from the bedrooms, which if you have young kids (like us) isn't ideal, but for families with slightly older kids and groups of friends, this place is perfect. Thank you!

Amazing property in a fantastic location!

Great place to stay in very comfortable very worth the price

Great house for our family reunion - can walk into town if you’re up for the driveway hill hike! Howler monkeys and so many birds right there on the patio - so cool. The water situation isn’t great (hot showers are scarce) and the bugs were pretty bad, but I guess that’s what you get when staying in the jungle. The gate and the microwave had to both be fixed when we were there, but host was quite responsive and fixed quickly. Overall, beautiful location!

Thank you for your review, Maya! We’re very happy to hear you enjoyed the house, the location, and the amazing wildlife around the property 🌿🐒 We also appreciate your patience with the small maintenance issues during your stay, and we’re glad we could resolve them quickly. It was a pleasure hosting you. You’re always welcome back 😊

Our stay at Villa Casana was nothing short of perfect, highly recommend!!

Nothing like the photos. The wood deck looks like it’s 20 years old. The house faces west and gets so so hot in the afternoon. The AC units are not strong enough to cool it down. If the pictures were close to what it actually looks like then we would have had better expectations for the stay. The pictures are so so different then what it actually looks like it’s crazy. It does feel like a bait and switch. We HATED the price person. I think that was our first time ever staying in a place like that. For the price there are so many nicer options. Avoid this place and stay somewhere else.

This was the perfect house rental for 2 families. The room configurations couldn't be better and the location is walkable for anyone over 4years old. The beds are very comfortable and the common area is very user-friendly.

The seven of us had a very nice time in Santa Teresa. The property is perfectly laid out for a larger group, with a large common area and an outdoor kitchen. However, a few minor things would need to be replaced/repaired again.

Wir hatten zu siebt eine sehr schöne Zeit in Santa Teresa. Die Unterkunft ist perfekt geschnitten für eine größere Gruppe mit dem großen Gemeinschaftsraum und der Außenküche. Einige Kleinigkeiten müssten allerdings mal wieder ausgetauscht/repariert werden.

Great place! Amazing location relatively close to everything, making walking anywhere very easy and doable.

A very nice place, ideally located with top-notch service, excellent communication from Pat and a special nod to the Ninja of the house!

Un très bel endroit, idéalement situé avec un service au top, excellente communication de Pat et un clin d'œil particulier à la Ninja de la maison !

We booked this house for 3 nights after our flight back to the US got cancelled during a blizzard. We were scrambling to find a place to stay and the vacation gods provided!. We were two families with four small kids. The hosts are incredibly friendly, warm, and accommodating- even letting us check in early knowing we were stranded. The house is absolutely breath-taking. I have no words. You can see the sunset, watch the monkeys play in the canopy and relax in the pool. The interior is equally as amazing, beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. The house is on a steep hill but that’s part of the adventure! And it’s worth the views and stillness you get from the house. You’ll be near the most beautiful part of the main strip in Santa Teresa and the local beaches have tide pools that are magnificent. The best restaurants and beach clubs are nearby also! We will be back. It’s the most beautiful place we’ve ever stayed. Thank you SO much!!

This was my favorite Airbnb I have ever booked! The hosts were amazing. As soon as we booked we received clear instructions regarding check in and were met at the home to go over everything. The house was exactly as the pictures portrayed. Location was 10/10, right in town so that you could easily walk to all the restaurants, bars, shops and the beach. The hosts had many recommendations and even got a few of us onto the water for a sunset kayak tour last minute. The house had housekeeping readily available so bathrooms/towels and common space could be cleaned daily. Overall this was an amazing house and we can’t wait to book it again.

Thank you, Haley! It was a pleasure hosting you. Until next time 🙂

One of the most beautiful places I've ever been! Great host and very helpful!

Jedan od najlijepsih smjestaja koje sam bila! Izvrstan domacin i od svake pomoci!

One of the most beautiful homes I’ve stayed in Santa Teresa and we cannot wait to come back and stay here again!

One of the best Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed at. The host was extremely responsive and helpful. Went above and beyond. Will definitely be back again!

We enjoyed our stay and would do it again. The property is as depicted. It was helpful that our host was there to greet us and provide recommendations. We weren’t able to use the tv bc it couldn’t connect to WiFi. ST is a cool and relatively unique spot in Costa Rica. Interesting blend of beautifully raw, undeveloped land with a growing number of high-end, boutique shops and restaurants. You’ll take a lot of pictures.

The villa is exactly as described, beautiful. We were a group of five, everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. The villa is close to lots local restaurants and shops and the beach is nearby too! You can hear the ocean roar from the deck. The hosts were extremely responsive to all messages. So glad we chose Villa Casana. Pura vida

Loved the place! Amazing stat, great AC and so helpful to have some cleaning during our stay from the house keeper. She really helped to keep the living areas tidy! Wonderful location highly recommend!!

This home was incredible. The property was clean with great amenities and was centrally located in town. I enjoyed my stay and would recommend.

Had a wonderful time at the Casana celebrating my birthday with 10 other friends. The space was clean, and having daily housekeeping was an awesome surprise! Location is up a steep hill, and would highly recommend getting a 4x4/a lifted car to go up and down. Other than that it was fine walking up/down the hill to get to the main strip. Tons of awesome food options, stores, and the beach close by. Thank you for hosting us!

Excellent place, the house is very nice. The location is close to downtown and all the shops. A high or 4x4 vehicle is required. The lady who helps with the cleaning is spectacular.

Excelente lugar, la casa es muy linda. La ubicación cerca del centro y de todos los comercios. Es necesario llevar un vehículo alto o 4x4. La señora que ayuda con la limpieza es espectacular.

Muchas gracias Diego!! Son siempre bienvenidos en nuestra Casa! :)

We had such an amazing time celebrating a milestone birthday. Everything was absolutely perfect. The property is stunning. The rooms were comfortable and immaculate. This was the perfect space to spend a week connecting with friends. We did not want to leave and will definitely be back. I would highly recommend this property if you want a peaceful space with beautiful surroundings but still close enough to everything Santa Teresa has to offer.

Thank you, Catherine! It was a pleasure hosting you. We hope to see you again soon :)

Outstanding stay. I can’t think of a better place in Santa Teresa for our surf trip. Wonderful all around.10/10

Excelente Villa is a beauty of place Everything is very clean Thank you Doña Yadira We so appreciate it We look forward to coming back soon!

Excelente Villa es una belleza de lugar Todo muy limpio Gracias Doña Yadira La apreciamos mucho Esperamos pronto volver!

Really cool house awesome space and fun to spend time there. Very good service from house manager and cleaning lady and owners. Very easy everything

Two families with teens shared the house for Spring Break.  Perfect house for the occasion.  Great outdoor space.  Very comfortable and clean.  Mati and Yadi were great hosts and very helpful.  They even returned an item that was left behind!

The house was amazing.  Perfectly located.  Felt like a resort without the extra people.

Thank you so much Cori! It was a pleasure hosting you. :)

Villa perfectly located and easily accessible.

Villa parfaitement situé et accessible facilement.

When you pay $10k USD for 4 nights there’s an expectation of the kind of place you will get. The main issue for us is there was no hot water. That’s fine if it’s sunny but when raining we are taking daily cold showers. When we asked about this, we were told to run the water for longer. We were not explained hot water will never be here. There simply was no hot water and they finally admitted to that in the end. The towels were washed sometimes. Very humid so most of the time we were drying with wet towels after cold showers. One of the things we love about Airbnb is cooking meals for everyone at home. This villa had one knife for cutting. One. When we mentioned they defensively said everything is knew. Perhaps but one knife makes cooking a challenge. One of the bedrooms has two mattresses pushed together so it’s like sleeping in a taco. The house is just badly managed. It could be great with better communication, hot water, and some simple changes.

Aengus, We are sorry you felt that way. We have checked several things you name which are not as described on your review. Water worked perfectly for every guest we have had during the entire year and season. We found bed linen full of blood. External guests using the house and showers. We have checked the entire water system and water comes out hot, even with no sun. So we have not admitted that there is no hot water. Guests after your stay have had no issues of the things you describe. (There are 3 large cooking knifes. I checked this myself after your check-out). Still, we truly regret that you had such a bad time in our Villa. We always try our very best to make our guests as happy as possible. I believe this is shown in our profile and by the reviews we have received over the years. Kind regards,

Beautiful house that is well located and well taken care off. Perfect for a large group looking to enjoy the town and beach. Highly recommend!

Thank you! It was a pleasure having you with us!

Great place! Exceeded expectations. Would definitely recommend staying here

We had such a great time in Costa Rica and this house was one of the highlights of our trip. First off it was a beautiful house with even better views. The location was great, easily walkable to the main strip. We rented a car to get around CR easily. It was super clean and comes with a housekeeper. Something I didn’t realize until my arrival. She did a wonderful job making the house look beautiful every day (thanks Yadi!). It is going to be hard going on a vacation without her. The beds only have a sheet and thin blanket so if you get cold easily or have a partner that likes the room colder than you, you may want to plan ahead. The hosts were super responsive and helpful. I highly recommend Aaron with Day Trips Costa Rica to help with activities. He’s a Santa Teresa local and knows everyone and everything. He came to the house and cooked and planned all of our activities. Pura Vida!

The house is in a perfect locution. I would recommend renting an atv for the week. The hill was pretty rough to walk up and down. We went during the rainy season and lost power several times, but they did get it back and running in hours. I would pack flashlights or head lamps if going during the rainy season. Mati and yada were amazing and I would recommended asking for their recommendations. We didn’t have AC on arrival in one of the rooms and they quickly had someone out the next day to fix it. I highly recommend staying here

This place was incredible! It was cleaned every day, the location was superb, and it was very easy to communicate with the host. It was hard to even want to leave the villa because of the pool and other amenities- we loved this villa and will definitely be staying again!

The location was very close to everything and not too far from the beach access.  I was very glad that we rented 4x4 quads because the hill getting up to the house is very steep and very muddy when it rains. Even though it was close to town it still felt secluded and we even had monkeys hanging out in the trees right by our back door. Check in was super easy. Mati met us at the house and showed us everything. The one downside was that the power went out on our first evening and there were no flashlights or candles so it was very dark.  When the power goes out, the water goes out as well. Luckily it came back on the next morning so it wasn't too bad. The housekeeper was great. She cleaned the kitchen early every morning before anyone was up and then cleaned the bedrooms and bathrooms each day while we were out.

We stayed here for our family vacation for 9 days. I must first say the best part about this house was Yadi! She is the housekeeper & is just the hardest working, sweetest lady! She makes this place a gem for sure! She wakes up early everyday to clean and maintain the house. I can’t say enough good things about her but I will say again THANK YOU again YADI! You made our vacation so much better and we appreciate you! About the house, it’s a great home and very clean and cozy! We loved hangout in the pool and playing board games on the long kitchen table. We rented a few side by sides buggy’s so we drive those into town but you can walk. If you are looking for a relaxing vacation with amazing housekeeping amenities so you can really take a break from the everyday chores this house is perfect for that! You won’t be disappointed! We have stayed at many airbnb’s and YADI has made this house one of our favorites so far! Till next time!

Everything amazing. Excellent service and attention. It is only important to note that to get there you have a steep climb of dirt, but if you have a 4x4 vehicle it goes up without a problem. Thank you very much for everything

Todo increíble. Excelente servicio y atención. Solo es importante tener en cuenta que para llegar tenes una subida de tierra empinada, pero si contas con vehículo 4x4 subís sin problema. Muchas gracias por todo

Amazing place and great hosts. Stayed for an 8 day guys surf trip. Highly recommend.

My family and my friends family stayed here for a week and we loved it! The house was beautiful and perfect for us. We loved the location which had a private feel to it but still close to everything. The pool was very nice to cool off and relax in. The host was easy to communicate with and helpful. I highly recommend this house. We will be back. Thanks!!!

This is an amazing place to stay in Santa Theresa! It’s secluded and quiet but right next to town and walkable to restaurants, the beach and markets. The maid Yadi does an amazing job keeping the place spotless and she is very sweet! The house and surroundings are beautiful. Definitely recommend staying here! We would love to be back!

We had a great stay! The perfect spot for a group of friends to stay while in lovely Santa Teresa!

The house is beautiful, the hosts are very responsive and happy to cater to your needs / any issues that arise.  My only comment which I am sure applies to all of Santa Teresa is that there is some construction going on in the area.

Great spot, perfect location and was as nice as the pictures. Would 100% recommend

We loved our stay! The home is beautiful, and it’s a short walk to the restaurants and beach.  The host had great recommendations for things to do. We took surfing lessons, went horseback riding and zip lining, went on a beautiful hike, and visited Tortuga Island. The housekeeper kept everything very clean and was super helpful as was the very nice evening security guard. It was an amazing trip!

This place is perfect! The view and the house are stunning. The drive way is a little steep, so keep that in mind when renting a car.

I was in contact with Mati From the day we arrived until the day we left, she spoke to me and visited me to see that everything is going well and that we are not missing anything. The house is impeccable and safe. There is a serene who stays all night in front of the entrance gate and takes care to open and close. Every room has a door code to enter and inside everyone has a safe to store belongings. There is a woman who would be like the “landlady” of the house who is very kind and gets up at 4 am to clean the entire kitchen, living room and the area outside so that you can barely get up breakfast as if nothing had happened the night before. The view of the house is beautiful, full of trees. It is in the heart of downtown but in a climb a few meters from the main street. Crossing that main street, you already have the beaches that are very nice. If they are going to rent something to go and get around in Santa Teresa, I recommend renting Pick Up 4x4. Streets / Routes are not in very good condition

Estuve en contacto con Mati. Desde el día que llegamos hasta el día que nos fuimos me habló y pasó a visitarme para ver que todo ande bien y que no nos falte nada. La Casa está impecable y es segura. Hay un sereno que se queda toda la noche frente al portón de entrada y se encarga de abrir y cerrar. Cada cuarto tiene un código en la puerta para ingresar y adentro todos tienen caja fuerte para guardar las pertenencias. Hay una mujer que sería como la “casera” de la casa que es muy amable y se levanta a las 4 am para limpiar toda la cocina, living y la zona de afuera para que apenas te levantes puedas desayunar como si nada hubiera pasado la noche anterior. La vista de la casa es hermosa, llena de árboles. Está en pleno centro pero en una subida a unos metros de la calle principal. Cruzando esa calle principal ya tenes las playas que son muy lindas. Si van a alquilar algo para ir y moverse en Santa Teresa, aconsejo alquilar Pick Up 4x4. Las calles / Rutas no están en muy buen estado

I have more than 5 years already to have airbnb and this is the best place I have ever been using the app! The house is spectacular, the people who work in safety and cleanliness of the place are wonderful and the coordination was great, no complaints, I recommend it 100% for family holidays!

Tengo ya más de 5 años de tener airbnb y este es el mejor alojamiento en el que he estado usando la aplicación! La casa es espectacular, las personas que trabajan en seguridad y limpieza del lugar son maravillosas y la coordinación fue genial, ninguna queja, lo recomiendo 100% para unas vacaciones en familia!

My family and I originally planned for 3 days 2 nights, but after we all talked and realized we were having a great time we decided to extend our stay one more night. Juli met us at the house the first day and brought us fresh fruits, and she went over the house with us. She was so friendly and even gave us the number for grocery deliveries! The rooms were amazing, all equipped with A/C, super clean and the beds were very comfortable! We loved hearing the monkeys and seeing them come to the back yard on the trees and hearing them in the afternoon/evenings. Marielos (the hoisekeeper) was SO nice and polite and came every day to clean the rooms and kitchen. Not to mention, security was outside every night starting at 5PM. We truly truly had an amazing time and plan to book again next year!

Wow! Far better experience than we even expected! The place is beautiful! Luxurious and secluded, felt like our own private oasis yet it is just minutes to all the restaurants, shops, and beach. The staff is fantastic, so courteous and hard working. We felt so pampered! We actually cancelled some excursions so we could spend more time just enjoying this place. We think it is now the best airbnb we have experienced!

Hosts were great at communicating, the house is exactly as it looks in the pictures, location extremely central, and the staff (cleaning lady, security, maintenance) are all dedicated. You wake up to the house spotless every morning to enjoy the next day with no hassle. The road up to the house is a bit rugged at the moment so I recommend getting an atv during the stay or at least 4x4.

I can’t wait to rent this house again for another group. It was super beautiful. And all 5 of my guests had a great time including 2 guests that were 70+ and one who was just under 3 years old. Nestled in the jungle. The rooms were spacious and private. Nicely decorated. Big, beautiful deck we used for yoga and Helio-therapy. Cute pool that we used every day for water aerobics. The kitchen was perfect for our vegan cooking class and the big dining spaces inside and out were ideal for our catered meals.

Matias was incredibly helpful with booking local tours and giving us recommendations. He was super responsive and timely! We loved the villa so much and we will be booking it again. The hill is steep so I recommend getting a 4x4 vehicle that can get your bags up there.

This place is absolutely amazing. Such a beautiful property and amazing house. Very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Love how the property is separated into two buildings, one has kitchen/living and the other has 5 private bedrooms each with their own bathroom. It was perfect for our group of 10 friends. The outdoor space was spectacular & surreal. Such a vibe. Location is good in the middle of town. You can easily walk to bars/food/beach. You can 100% get by without a vehicle but having a car or ATV makes life easier. If you rent a car be sure to get 4x4. The hill up to the house is steep but totally walkable. I recommend not wearing flip flops for the walk. The host is responsive and the manager Matias was super friendly and helpful with check-in, booking taxis, and recommendations. The nice lady who cleans daily is an absolute legend. She cleans the kitchen/patio early in the morning and then bedrooms in afternoon. Would 100% stay again. Its a special place (:

We are a family of 12 and the house was perfect for the week we were in Santa Teresa , we loved it ! We are very grateful to Jadira who was attentive to our needs at all times, and kept the house impeccable , we also thank Mat who was quick to respond to all our inquiries , the place is 100% recommended very comfortable and with everything needed to have a good time. Thank you

Somos una familia de 12 integrantes y la casa estuvo perfecta para la semana que estuvimos en Santa Teresa , nos encantó ! , estamos muy agradecidos de Jadira que en todo momento estuvo atenta a nuestras necesidades , y mantenía la casa impecable , tambien agradecemos a Mat que respondía rápido a todas nuestras consultas , el lugar 100 % recomendado muy cómodo y con todo lo necesario para pasar un buen rato Gracias totales

We had a fantastic stay. This was one of the best rentals I have ever stayed at. We doubted renting it because it seemed further up the hill, but it is so close to the main street while still having a quiet and peaceful surrounding. Yadi, the housekeeper, was terrific, she made us feel right at home and remained very respectful and careful to ensure our privacy. Just a great experience. The house is better than in the pictures, as the space and openness are hard to capture. We saw many birds, monkeys, and iguanas. The only negative was that there was construction right behind the house causing a lot of noise and decreasing some of the privacy as the workers could see into parts of the outside spaces. But most of it was understandable for the rainy season period and it never took away from the enjoyment or made us feel unsafe.

What a truly amazing place! A little slice of perfection in an imperfect world. We could not have been happier with the accommodations and the ease of everything. 11 out of 10!!!

We had a wonderful stay.  Everything was well maintained and the accommodations were spectacular.  Shelly the house cleaner was wonderful.  She was pleasant and kept everything clean and even added fresh pool towels each day.  The location is perfect for walking to the beach, restaurants and coffee shops.  We did so many fun things.  Diving, surfing, zip lining, bioluminescent night snorkeling.  This was definitely a trip to remember.

This was one of the nicest villas I have ever stayed in. Stunning views, ample space, and a staggering amount of service (from overnight security guards to cleaning, etc.). Definitely not the cheapest Villa ever, but you get what you pay for. The road up to the villa is mega sketchy, and on a muddy / rainy day it is less than ideal trying to get up, but the pros of this place outweigh the cons 10 to 1.

The property was even more beautiful and spacious that it appears in the pictures! Lots of nature and beautiful wildlife, like hummingbirds, around the property. The staff was wonderful and communicative. Our host, Mati, met us on the main road and guided us to the property. He gave us a tour, and even brought us a welcoming gift of tons of fresh fruit! That was a wonderful touch and we really enjoyed the assortment. Mati offered to connect us with lots of additional activities like a private chef, surfing, etc. The on-site staff was always available and was helpful, kind, and diligent. I would definitely come back again and stay here!

This house was even better than the pictures! Mati was amazing and helped us feel right at home. The place was cleaned daily and the internet worked great. Amazing view of the town and close enough to town.

The Villa was all that we hoped for! Sunset views were amazing, Mati was always available to assist with restaurant recommendations and activities, the cleaning and security folks were friendly and helpful. You do need a decent 4x4 to access the villa as it is at the top of a fairly rough gravel road. Walking up and down can be a bit challenging, but certainly doable. We didn’t rent ATV’s so we mostly walked to restaurants, beaches etc. The villa is far enough away from the main “strip” that you only hear the surf - not the traffic! Would definitely book this again.

Our stay was very satisfactory, we had a fantastic stay at the villa. The location is private yet the main road highway is near - the villa itself has a spectacular view and it is very well maintained. We would definitely repeat our stay!

What an incredible home! I stayed here with a group of 8 people and we absolutely loved it. The location is perfect — an easy walk to the main drag / beach of Santa Teresa but far enough away that’s it’s quite peaceful. It’s also very much in the jungle; we saw monkeys and other wildlife most days. The host and their staff were very responsive. Couldn’t ask for a better experience.

Beautiful home in a great location in Santa Teresa. Very private but a short walk or ATV ride to tons of restaurants and beaches. Housekeeping was phenomenal. Didn't even realize it was included when booking but they did such a great job keeping the place clean. One minor con is that there were a fair number of insects and other critters, particularly in the bottom bedroom. But you have to keep in mind that this is Costa Rica and you're in the jungle; it's to be expected. Host was always extremely responsive and flexible. Communication was always friendly and prompt. Overall I would definitely stay here again, we had a wonderful time.

Thank you all for an amazing stay! The house was beautiful, very clean, organized and comfortable. Mati was an amazing host, he helped organize our atv rentals and answered all our questions, and gave us a lot of recommendations. He is a great guy, and made us all feel welcome. The only issue we had was that our trip was too short :) I will definitely recommend to friends and family and hope to return again some day soon. Thank you all for having us and wishing you all the best. Till next time D

Staying at Villa Casana was truly amazing. It is beautiful, clean, centrally located and has all the amenities you need. They also helped with booking for all activities you wanted to do and for transportation to/from San Jose airport.

We had an amazing stay here it was everything we needed for a group of ten girls! Thanks for everything hopefully will be back Someday :)

Beautiful home. Housekeeper on site was amazing. We had our four adult children and my parents, it was great to have all on-suite bedrooms and the layout gave us all enough space to be comfortable.

Beautifully designed home. Well provisioned. Housekeeping was an unexpected pleasant surprise.   Some of the staff live on site, but they were respectful of our privacy and did a wonderful job of tending to the home and our needs/requests.  Yaiza, the property manager, was super helpful helping us plan and figure things out. My only mild complaint is that the house is listed as “ocean view” and that description is a strettttccchhhhh. Yes, you can see the ocean, but only in the far distance, if you’re standing on your toes, while on the top level of the home (that consists of 2 bedrooms).  The property is otherwise very pretty, relaxing and conveniently located.

10/10 recommended! If you’re coming to Santa Teresa with a large group this is the airbnb for you. It’s very clean (with the exception of bugs but it’s the jungle so…. DUH) the housekeeper is nice and stays on top of everything. Communication was top tier. Atv’s are preferred for traveling in Santa Teresa, taxis/ walking is ok too. Beware of the steep hill the house sits on. Overall our stay was great and will be back!

The host was nothing short but amazing, they help give me recommendations for what I was looking and made plan my trip easier than I expected

Wonderful home, amazing design. Yaiza was a great hostess and provided help for anything we needed.  The pool was a big problem and we unfortunately did not get to use it the first few days because it was very very dirty, they had to cleaned it.  They were responsible and did respond, but we didn’t get to use it much.

Our stay was incredible and Yaïza the manager made it all the better! Super accommodating and responsive with any request. Thank you for making our staying so memorable!

This house is straight magic. The design of the home is a perfect balance for privacy and shared space for meals. There are so many lovely design choices from the tiles to the furniture, with plush mattresses (a rarity in Latin America). The staff is incredibly helpful and kind, going above and beyond at every turn. I will definitely book here again next time I’m in Santa Teresa.

Had a great stay at Casa Ana! The house is lovely - the outdoor space is open and very nice.  There are monkeys that frequent the banana trees that surround the house and were fun for the kids on our trip to see!  Yadira was lovely and was very nice and kept the house clean all week.  We felt very safe in the location.  I will say the house is located at the top of a hill that is very steep and is a dirt road.  We had a manual transmission car rental and it was not able to get up the hill the first night.  I would choose a car rental carefully because this road is not easy to get up.  The house is located very close to town, so you are able to walk to shops/restaurants/beach if you like, but I would bring a flashlight if you plan on walking home at night as there are no lights on the street.  We did have a few things come up during the trip, but the property manager was quick to respond and get anything we needed resolved.  Overall we had a lovely trip and would recommend the house!

Lovely home! I loved waking up to the sounds of the wood peckers and seeing the monkeys! Amazing experience! Santa Teresa was a beautiful place. I advise you to check out Banana Beach It was so much fun and great food! There are plenty of restaurants and bars close by the home walking distance. We were suppose to book ATVs to get around but they were booked out. So please book your excursions in advance and ATVs  if you are traveling during busy seasons. Also housekeeping cleaned up every day which was a relief due to the fact that we were a group of 8 !

The home is beautiful and exceptionally clean.  The care takers are incredible. Perfect location.

We stayed at the Villa over presidents week and had an incredible experience. The house was wonderful and the hosts were extremely responsive and helpful throughout our stay.

WORST EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE AND WORST HOST EVER!! I have booked a house, managed by these people here, in early November in order to celebrate my 30’s birthday. The first message I have sent them in November is was telling them that I wanted to do a little celebration nothing to big and they didn’t have nothing to say about it. Around 1 month before our stay they send me a message regarding new restrictions in Costa Rica and that we couldn’t do a big gathering which was not my intention so I agreed even that these restrictions they mentioned were just lies. Then the day of the check in Guli send me a message in the morning that they might cancel our reservation because the owner was scared that we will throw a huge party. This was very sneaky from their part as they knew that were no way we could find a house that could fit 14 ppl in Santa Teresa, as the accommodation here must be booked early in advance especially if you are a big group. They said that we could keep our reservation if we agree on give them $2000 cash as deposit and they will put 2 guards outside the gate to controll the situation, the name of this is BLACKMAIL as we had no option if not to agree on their “offer”. Once we entered the house we did a little celebration for my bday, during the day not to disturb the sorroundings and at 22 we turned off the music. The guards broke our privacy because they stayed inside the house and not outside, they took videos of the party because the managers asked for them and last thing they ask money to my friends coming to the party to let them in, this is all ridiculous. The day of the check-out they kept 500$ for noises which makes no sense as we did not do anything, they just wanted to put some money in their pockets, and I believe the owner of the house have no clue of all the story of the deposit. Almost fogot Guli has been very rude and aggressive all the times I spoke with him. I absolutely not recommend staying in none of the villas managed by these people because they will try to scam you somehow, and it is a pity because the villa is great and the cleaning team is amazing, beside the poor management skills of these people.

Filippo Brivio Sforza is a 29-30 year old guy who has a lot of money and thinks he can do whatever he wants.   He is using a fake profile to throw parties with his friends. He uses a fake one, not to use the real profile where he is also a host, because that way he would keep getting bad reviews on how he behaves as a guest.  Drugs and alcohol were used during his stay. Extreme loud music with several neighbor complaints. Absolut no respect for any rules.   We truly hope that Airbnb looks deeply into this issue and removes not only his review but also his party profile.

Perfect for few families! We had an amazing time, Thank you!

This is quite a place. Close to everything Santa Teresa and still quiet enough to hear the ocean. The outdoor living space is amazing and well thought out. Plenty of different zones to separate and enjoy a hammock nap or dip in the pool. The hosts and staff were very accommodating and friendly. Checkin was personal and came with great dinner recommendations. Everyone had such a great visit, we are already planning a return trip.

What an amazing trip! The house is beautiful and perfect for a family that wants each kid(s) to have their own separate suite. We are a couple plus 4 kids and a grandma. The main living area is perfect for large dinners and even for a family yoga class (in AC!). The kids loved the pool and the day bed! You are centrally located and can walk to the beach and to shops/ food etc. Yaiza was an incredible and responsive host and we fell in love with the staff, especially Yadira.  Lucho was an excellent (and a super kind) chef! We loved Nancy for yoga and Juli for massages. All the recs were perfect. Surf awesome everywhere. Side note: there are very annoying barking dogs next door that kept us up a couple nights- so if you’re a light sleeper using a noise machine would be smart. (The monkeys, that are amazing and visible from the house, are loud too!) Also, bring a speaker if you want to play music.  All in all an awesome stay!  Pura vida!

This property is incredible, centrally located and beautiful. The owners were really responsive and the staff were professional and friendly.

We are a group of 8 people (4 couples) who have been in the house for 3 days. Check-in was perfect. Yaiza, the person in charge of the place, was there to greet us and explain everything about the house and the village. The rooms are big and clean, with nice bathrooms and comfortable beds. All together, conveniently separated from the dining room block. The kitchen and living room are spacious and equipped with stylish furniture and everything you need for easy cooking and eating. The pool is not large but is the perfect complement to the stay. The views are amazing. You can just sit and enjoy the time looking at the thick vegetation of the property. Yadira and Nemesio, the couple who take care of the house, are diligent, efficient and absolutely lovely. They kept the place clean early in the morning and we had some nice talks with them. Our conclusion is that we could not have found a better place to stay in Santa Teresa, even more so considering it was much cheaper than other houses we had seen in our investigation. A 10 for Villa Casana! Pura Vida.

Somos un grupo de 8 personas (4 parejas) que hemos estado en la casa durante 3 días. La llegada ya fue perfecta. Yaiza, la responsable del lugar estuvo ahí para recibirnos y explicarnos todo sobre la casa y el pueblo. Las habitaciones son grandes y limpias, con bonitos baños y cómodas camas. Todas juntas, convenientemente separados del bloque del comedor. La cocina y la sala de estar son amplias y están equipadas con muebles elegantes y todo lo necesario para cocinar y comer con facilidad. La piscina no es grande pero es el complemento perfecto para la estancia. Las vistas son asombrosas. Puedes simplemente sentarte y disfrutar del tiempo mirando la espesa vegetación de la propiedad. Yadira y Nemesio, la pareja que se ocupa de la casa, son diligentes, eficientes y absolutamente encantadores. Mantuvieron el lugar limpio temprano en la mañana y tuvimos algunas charlas agradables con ellos. Nuestra conclusión es que no podríamos haber encontrado un lugar mejor para hospedarnos en Santa Teresa, más aún considerando que era bastante más barato que otras casas que habíamos visto en nuestra investigación. Un 10 para Villa Casana! Pura Vida.

The place is amazing, yaiza always help for everything we ask as fast as she can, the staff was very kindly and the facilities was very good. Very close to everything is Santa.

I can’t even begin to describe how PERFECT our stay was.  My wife and I have never felt more at peace, than while staying at Ceci and Max’s home.  Every morning, waking up to the sunrise while laying out on the deck with a freshly blended fruit smoothie made for a complete Zen feeling that I can’t even put into words.  The communication was beyond anything we’ve experienced before.  The hosts were exceptionally kind and answered all of our questions very quickly before our trip started.  Yaiza, is by far the most helpful person in booking all of our activities/restaurants etc.  If we could hire her for all of our traveling we would in a second! My wife and I will ONLY be staying here for our future stays and so should ANYONE that is staying on Santa Teresa.  Trust me, this will be a memory worth making, and a memory that won’t be forgotten.

We loved our stay! The house was perfect for our group of two families. For our particular configuration we would have loved the second top bedroom to have a King and the Queen in the downstairs room with a twin, but there was plenty of space and we made it work. Every member of the team was extremely helpful, kind and professional. The pictures do justice to the accommodations. The walk down to the closest shops/food and beach was close (but a little steep)...but you will want carts, ATVs or a car to explore the whole stretch and all the options. The recommended personal chef we had one night was one of our favorite experiences. The pool was a perfect place to cool off and lounge, but it is small (kids had to be repeatedly told they couldn't jump/rough house etc.). The landscaping immediately around the house was well maintained and beautiful, and we loved being up surrounded by the jungle (birds and monkeys abound) where is was bright and breezy rather then down by the ocean where it felt especially dark/bug filled/muddy (this was the rainy season). Be prepared to buy beach towels (they don't want you taking the pool towels because of sand) and shampoo...those were the only things that were not included that we weren't prepared for (we found some cheap ones at the market right down the street). If we return to Santa Teresa, we would love to stay here again!
