Excellent, 1 month ago

Beautiful Art Deco villa surrounded by lush vegetation. Amazing sea view. We had a pleasant stay and enjoyed all the surrounding nature. You are looking for a magical view, a modern art villa with large spaces, and a few animal visits in the morning on your terrace. This villa will suit you.

Host Response

Thank you Rodolphe so much for your beautiful review. We really appreciated.

The architecture of the villa (outside but also inside) made a big impression on us. The spaciousness of the villa is fantastic. Everything really fits! From the large-scale works of art to the kitchen amenities to the magnificent pool. The location of the villa is fantastic, provided you have your own car. Admittedly, the villa is no longer brand new, which is visible in one or two details. But in any case, it is very well maintained and very stylish and guarantees a high degree of privacy! We felt incredibly comfortable! The idea of also offering something for children is great; however, in practice, there is some room for improvement here! (The slide is too extreme, and the playroom mostly has things that no longer work.)

The house was aesthetically beautiful. The bathroom door in the master bedroom was broken, and once closed from the inside, it is no longer possible to get out, and you need help from someone outside the bathroom to open it. The only really negative comment has to do with the concierge, Alba, who proved to be incompetent and tactless. My girlfriend was not feeling well and we asked her if she could give us a hand. Without showing the slightest empathy, she said that there was no one who could help her and the most she could do was call a taxi, which arrived after 1 hour, all while she continued to do her own things without the slightest desire to help in a difficult situation. That afternoon, we had scheduled massages that we obviously couldn't get because we had been in the clinic for 4 hours, and without the slightest consideration, she made us pay according to the cancellation policy. Zero sense of humanity Still, a nice and very livable house Too bad we were left with this bitter taste in our mouths

This property is absolutely stunning. The architecture, views, and pool made for a really unique experience. The receptionist was also incredibly helpful and responsive, assisting us with arranging massages, chef services, and laundry during our stay. That said, there are a few things I wish had been communicated more clearly in the listing before booking. The property does not have air conditioning in the common areas such as the kitchen and living room, which made those spaces very hot at times. Also, because the glass walls and doors have wide gaps, bugs freely enter the space, and we regularly encountered large beetles, water bugs, spiders, and other insects including inside the bedrooms and on the actual beds themselves. Bug nets were provided. The back door is also not able to lock and so you aren’t able to lock up at night. We still felt safe though. But wish we would have known these things prior. I would still stay here again and have already recommended friends.

We had a fantastically wonderful time with our daughter! The path is a bit bumpy at the start, but no problem with an SUV. The location is wonderful, the bed is comfortable, and on one day we even got a free smoothie 😍 It takes longer for the water to get warm, but that's no problem when it's warm outside. The pool deck is in need of renovation, and having a restaurant right at the property would be even more convenient, but we would come back and highly recommend it to our friends 😊 It was a fantastic place to stay.

Thank you so much Alexander for your amazing review.

Absolutely stunning house. Clean and great amenities. Complimentary breakfast was fantastic. Staff was so friendly and helpful. Very glad the road to the house was paved. It was extremely steep, but easy to access. We didn’t have any issue with bugs. Just be careful to keep food locked up. AC in the bedrooms worked perfectly and enabled a comfortable nights sleep. Uvita was a great little town with lots activities. Area felt like very safe. Fabulous overall! Thanks again for an amazing stay!

You will love the Art Villa. I’ve been itching to get back here for 3 years. When we arrived, we were greeted by Nayeli. You will love her personality. She’s a nice young lady and very personable. She showed us around the villa and explained the do’s and don’ts of the villa and the rules about flying drones, using the trampoline, and the waterslide. There were a few changes in the décor of the villa that helped enhance the experience. The view from the pool deck and relaxing in the infinity pool was fun and relaxing as I remembered 3 years ago. Later we had dinner, watched Netflix and enjoyed the pool. We ordered breakfast everyday so I can tell you that the pancakes, omelet, and Costa Rican and it was great. We enjoyed massages, the gas grill, and the gym. I took advantage of their clothes washing service, and my clothes arrived the next day clean and folded. Met Alba on our last night. She’s very nice and attentive and loves telenovelas like I do. Everyone had an awesome time!!!

hard to describe the perfection of this place - not only the incredible villa, but the entire villa neighborhood. It is truly the definition of paradise: lush rainforest, stunning views, breathtaking architecture, the hum of jungle sounds, the clouds, the rain, the genuinely spiritual escape. As a solo-travelet, it's often hard to find that one place that truly provides everything you need for a mental break and detoxification. The entire experience is pure luxury, yet not on a cold way - rather, the opposite. Private pools, local coffee, a gym over looking the sea, a sauna in the forest, and the evening glow of accent lighting into the night is just beyond magical. I'm having a hard time describing how incredible this place is. As a lover of architecture and design, this is a true masterpiece I've seen unlike anything else. Special shout out to Alba, who checked me in, provided endless local recommendations, baked some roasted plantains - a masterclass in hospitality.

Super great place thank you

Host Response

Thank you Patrick

This Airbnb was absolutely beautiful! The view, the design of the house, the private chief, the massages we received, Artvillas made our Costa Rica experience unforgettable! We were worried ahead of time about the bugs based off the previous comments so we came prepared with bug net tents for the beds, bug spray, etc but during the day we did not have any problems with bugs or mosquitoes. At night they were more active but honestly not as bad as we thought they would be. We all slept very comfortable, the views were amazing and can hear the ocean from the house. Lastly, we made the mistake of driving to the wrong ArtVillas and was 2 hours away from the Correct one. This was our mistake by looking up the address on Waze instead of using Airbnb Address but please keep in mind it’s Artvillas in OSA. We will definitely be booking here again!!

Host Response

thank you Alyssa for such a beautiful review, we really appreciated. We will be very happy to host you again.

We absolutely loved our stay at Petra’s place. The location cannot be beat, with its calm forest and view of the ocean. They offer so many personalized options. We had the best help from the concierge Alma. She was so welcoming and helped us set up food, massages, and even played with our baby. I would absolutely come back and will be suggesting for all my friends and family to stay here as well.

Thank you Nicole for your great review.

Art Villa exceeded every expectation and truly embodies everything you hope for when visiting Costa Rica. The property is absolutely beautiful—thoughtfully designed, surrounded by nature, and impeccably maintained. Every space feels clean, welcoming, and peaceful, creating an atmosphere where you can relax the moment you arrive. Safety and comfort were never a concern. The environment feels secure and well cared for, allowing you to fully enjoy your stay without worry. What really sets Art Villa apart, though, is the people. The staff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and open in their communication—from the moment you book to the day you leave. They make you feel not just like a guest, but part of something special. There’s also a genuine sense of community here. Whether you’re meeting fellow travelers or chatting with the staff, there’s an easy warmth and connection that adds so much to the experience. Art Villa isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place to feel at home.

Thank you so much, Jarrett, for your amazing review! We really appreciate it and were so happy to host you. My daughter just saw your review and was so excited that she knows you!

I had the pleasure of staying in this authentic villa. The setting, the comfort, the decoration, every detail is carefully thought out to offer an exceptional experience. I had a wonderful time there, the massage and yoga session were a plus, everything was perfect from start to finish. A big thank you to hosts for their hospitality and professionalism. I would recommend it in a second.

Thank you Ana for your great review.

Beautiful house with great amenities. You are in the jungle so could experience few bugs inside the house. We experienced power outage during rains but otherwise loved the place. Host was very responsive. Excellent breakfast provided in mornings. Loved the pool and the gym.

Host Response

Hi Minhaj, I just wanted to send you a quick personal note to explain something important. I noticed you left us a very kind 5-star review, and I truly appreciate that — thank you so much. I feel I also need to apologize. I gave you only one star as a guest, and I want you to know it wasn’t out of bad intentions or anger, but rather out of honesty and principle. From our side, the experience was really difficult — the refund request despite the use of breakfast, drone filming, and more. We felt disappointed and under pressure, especially with how the case developed through Airbnb. That said, I appreciate that you still left us a positive review, and I respect that. I hope you understand where I’m coming from too. No hard feelings — and I truly wish you and your friends all the best in the future. Warm regards, Petra

Great stay!

The stay was great. We had an incident the first night with power going out for 2 hours and then flickering on and off. Lots of bugs come inside the house if you leave doors open. Second night, we maintain doors closed and we were ok. The resort also has a strange environmental initiative that limits the use of air conditioning during the day, which in my opinion is inappropriate and should be made optional to the guests and not mandatory. We did request to remove the restriction and the host complied. The house is incredible and definitely an arquitectural masterpiece. Worth the experience.

Host Response

Thank you Douglas for your review.

This place is exactly what you see. The pictures are accurate to represent how beautiful this house is. Also note with open air feel comes no barrier for large bugs and geckos in the rooms at night. We never had anything come on the beds which is great but our kids couldn’t sleep at night with a praying mantis, large leaf bug and some geckos crawling/flying around the rooms. I myself slept fine and enjoyed the house in its entirety, just be ready to be “one” with nature a little bit. Would 100% recommend the house though.

Thank you Noah for your amazing review. We really appreciated.

One of my all time favorite stays! Went in January 2025 with a group of friends to celebrate my birthday and am so happy we chose this place. It was more stunning than the photos. The backdrop is breathtaking. The rooms and decor were great. We didn’t use the gym but it had a lot of equipment. The sauna was nice. Daily room service was a nice touch. The on-site breakfast was delicious with a variety of options each day. All the staff we encountered were really nice. Villa is conveniently located to a lot of activities and restaurants. Our concierge, Catalina, was SO nice! She answered all of my questions leading up to the stay, helped me coordinate various activities and transportation and provided recommendations for restaurants. I could not have planned the trip without her. There were a few minor transportation issues but she was able to help me rectify it. My only complaint is I wish we would have been able to book a longer stay to enjoy it more but this villa books up quickly.

Host Response

Thank you Janelle so much for your amazing review. We really appreciated you liked your celebration, and hopefully we may see you again one day.

Beautiful villa! We spent the last 2 days of our babymoon vacation here and honestly have no real complaints. The staff is extremely friendly, helpful and responsive, and the villa grounds and amenities are absolutely stunning. Please note that even though there is air conditioning in the bedrooms, there is no air conditioning in the living room/common area and there are no fans inside as well, so at night it was quite hot and we didn't want to leave the doors open because of the bugs (they're attracted to the lights at night). Also, I'm not sure why all of the glass doors/windows had small pieces of black tape on them (I forgot to ask why before we left), but it was a bit off putting because the views are so spectacular. We would definitely stay here again though, the pros outweigh the minor cons tenfold. We will cherish the memories made here Villa Art for years to come.

Thank you for your great review Nicolas.

WOW! Words can barely describe the otherworldly energy at the ArtVillas! We had a truly SURREAL experience here! The home is an architectural dream with amazing views. Every inch of this place is well-thought out and intentional. Extremely clean, luxurious, spacious, and comfortable. Everything we needed and more. Soft towels, robes, linens, and lovely soaps.Host and staff were very friendly and helpful. In-house massages were divine and the breakfast provided was delicious! Gym on the ground floor was a huge bonus too. If you have the opportunity to stay here, 100% DO IT!

Justine, thank you so much for your breathtaking review. I really appreciated you took a time to write such amazing review. Also your notes are very important to us. Thank you so much and have a great time. We havent had idea you would like to meet us, we will be happy to meet you any other day.

Even though we booked very spontaneously, our hosts were incredibly welcoming and had the villa ready for us in no time. The place was absolutely stunning – even more beautiful than the pictures suggested! We lucked out with a day of wild weather, sunshine and a touch of mist. The villa, with its many windows, offered mesmerizing views of the changing landscape. The villa's design was also perfect for our needs. Each room was a tranquil retreat, providing a sense of personal space. Sipping coffee and enjoying fresh fruit while enveloped in the sounds of nature was pure bliss. It was the perfect way to start the day. We're already dreaming of returning to this idyllic sanctuary!

Thank you Marianne for your amazing review. We really appreciated.

Huge place with unbelievable scenery. Astounding views, fit for 5 couples easily. The space around the house and the shared yoga/fitness space are huge pluses. Very nice breakfast with a view and great service, and even two local toucans and a coati remind you where you are. Would definitely come back.

Host Response

Thanks a lot Ido for your great review. We really appreciated. And thank you so much for your private feedback, it is always very important for us. We are already working on it. Thank you for your stay.

Staying at Art Villas is like a dream. Its simple the most amazing place we have ever stayed (and we've stayed in a lot of very cool places)! It is beautiful architecture and amazing interior design with incredible art everywhere, comfortable and functional furniture, great beds and bathroom amenities. You're literally in the middle of the jungle with incredible ocean views. Brilliant sunsets, star- or lightening-filled skies overhead. Sounds of the natural environment everywhere (especially during early morning and evening hours). With local construction and grounds crews constantly taming the jungle during the day it was admittedly not that peaceful. The complementary breakfasts were amazing! Local foods and eggs any way you want them prepared with care and delivered with a friendly and warm smile by Petra and her amazing team. While it's not a hotel we found the concierge service delivered by Andrew and Kat to be responsive from check in the check out. Location was perfect

Host Response

Hi Andy, thank you so much for your very kind words and for an amazing review. We really appreciated. I am so happy you were satisfied, you liked breakfast and so on. And thank you for your private feedback, it is very important for us. Thank you for your visit

WOW! WOW! This place does not disappoint! Peaceful, beautiful stay near the treetops immersed in the rainforest Coco Pods with a view of the ocean in the distance. The property gives a very zen "one with nature" organic feeling. The open-air, comfy glamping pods are incredibly designed and you will marvel at the architecture. We utilized all amenities, gym, trampoline, pool, sauna, cold plunge, spa opportunities and fabulous dinner with private chef. Andrew and Cat, as concierge, were always steps away and very helpful with advice on restaurants and activities. The friendly food service staff greeted us each morning offering a delicious and generous breakfast selection. Plenty to do and see in the area, despite the rainy season. The monkeys hanging out at the pods were so entertaining! Wildlife all around! We absorbed it all, slept incredibly well, and came away refreshed and inspired. We will be back!

Thank you Jill for your great amazing review. I really appreciated. I am also very happy, your daughter suggested our space and you did enjoyed. I really appreciated your review.

"Our stay at the type villa was simply fantastic! The location in the middle of nature creates an incredible, peaceful atmosphere. We've seen so many different animals – a real highlight! The open living area connects the inside with the outside in a beautiful way and allows you to experience nature really up close. The entire atmosphere is relaxed and special, perfect for unwinding and enjoying the surroundings. Absolutely recommended to anyone who loves nature and design!

First let me say thank you to Andrew & Catalina for their great service! I was celebrating my honeymoon with my wife and I wanted to surprise her with a decorated room and they were able to accommodate to my exact vision. They were always responsive whenever we needed anything. They helped us book taxis and provided recommendations for places to go. Overall great service. The chefs on site were great and kind. The breakfast was really good. The Villa was something out of a dream. The pool and view definitely made it worth the price. The bugs weren’t really an issue. The gym was nice the only thing missing was a treadmill. I would recommend everyone to experience this villa.

Host Response

Thank you John for your amazing review. We really appreciate this.

I cannot explain how beautiful this place is in person. The pictures are stunning but the in person view took my breath away. It’s something out of a dream. Secluded, quiet, the sound of nature morning, noon, and night. We felt safe the entire stay and every need was met. The staff helped me get a birthday cake and balloons to surprise my husband. Any question I had was answered quickly. Do yourself a favor and book this place. We seriously didn’t want to leave!

Host Response

Thank you Mhykee for your amazing review. We really appreciated. We are very happy you enjoy your stay. Thank you for your visit.

So amazing! The coco pods were very clean and exceeded my expectations. The concierge guy was always attentive and we couldn't have been happier. We experience the private chef for one of our dinners and absolutely loved it. Definitely recommend staying at the coco pods when staying in Uvita. You won't regret it!
