Absolutely amazing place! The views are simply magnificent, with stunning sunsets that you don't get tired of. A big thank you to Laura for her excellent communication: she was attentive, kind, welcoming, and always available to answer our questions and give us advice, especially on restaurants. The place is beautiful, tastefully decorated in a truly gorgeous boho-chic style. Everything is comfortable: the bed is very nice, and the bathroom is convenient and well-designed. Access to the house is via an elevated area, but with a 4x4 it’s very easy. A 100% successful experience! Our only regret: not staying longer ✨🌺🌴

Thanks to Laura, who recently took over the management of the Villa and implemented what her predecessors had promised (a small safe for storing a computer and other valuables). Very nice hospitality.

Fiona was amazing! Very responsive and helpful. Unfortunately the place is a bit dated compared to its amazing pictures. Generally I don't leave reviews, but feel compelled to since I feel a bit duped. Pros: Beautiful View Private Spot close to town/beach Nice Pool Comfortable beds Cons: One bedroom A/C significantly worse than the second bedroom Tons of geckos in the evenings Toilets are pretty badly stained No lights near pool for evening swims Faucet water smells, I assume on a well Some towels had stains None of those things was a killer for the trip, we still had an amazing time, but for the price, I feel like there's better options available if you want to be in something cleaner and more comfortable.

Stay was very comfortable yet always worried about the safety of us. I didn’t like the fact that you cannot lock the doors, even though gate was there, you can easily walk in from the side. Also, asked for key to the safe which was never provided. So we had to carry our valuables everywhere. House needs maintenance, our bathroom had leak , which was fixed two days later, air conditioner in the room didn’t work. They fixed it eventually. Staff were polite and helpful. Besides all this, View was very beautiful, best sunset, beds were comfortable. Make sure you rent 4x4 for this location, slippery after u cross the creek numerous times of the day.

The house is amazing. The connection with nature is total. We could see monkeys outside and unique sunsets, with the peace of being far from any neighbors. The house is very nice, it has some details to correct, such as the possibility that the main room is really isolated from insects (it has a window without glass to the bathroom, which is outdoors) Fiona is an excellent co-host, she immediately resolved any questions we had and suggested excellent tours. I would definitely come back

Villa of my dreams! Truly enjoyed my stay here. The view was unreal, the pictures don’t do it justice. The hospitality was above and beyond! Any questions we had were answered within minutes. There was so much cool wildlife surrounding us, we even got to see monkeys in the trees right next to the villa. Would definitely come back and stay here again:)

The place has the best views in the area . Fiona was awesome, always making sure everything was good and very responsive. Every time we had a question or concern, she was on top of it. She recommended different places and activities in town that were very helpful. The place in general needs some renovations, but other than that, it was a wonderful stay.

Extremely beautiful property, when I first walked in my breath felt like it was taken away. The views in the photos don’t do it enough justice, because in real life it is absolutely stunning. The home feels very private, and like something out of a story book. We spent our honeymoon there and will forever cherish our memories at Villa Pompadour. The road up is very rugged! An ATV is a must. You could certainly make it up with a 4x4 vehicle, but we found the ATV to be very convenient. The wild life here is definitely something to consider- very cool to be surrounded by monkeys and birds but there are also a lot of bugs, just be mindful of this and don’t leave food out. We kept dry foods in the fridge as well just to keep the space clean. This place truly is a patch of paradise. Fiona is very helpful, and the owner Sebastian was a very kind man who we met briefly outside of the property. This place is 10/10!

The place was just like the photos, the view is incredible, the house is beautiful and very quiet, the road to get to the house is complicated, it was not in very good condition and you can only get there in a 4x4

Beautiful. Comfortable. Cozy. This is a stay we will never forget!! Aside from the stunning views of the ocean and complete privacy, the villa is charming as can be - a chic bohemian beach paradise. If you’re looking to sip coffee and make breakfast in the morning, while listening to the sounds of nature (a symphony of birds, insects, and the occasional howler monkey roar) from your poolside hammock, this is the place for you!!! It will feel like you’re in a dream! Also, Fiona, our concierge, is a shining gem of a human - so kind and gracious and helpful!!! 11/10 would recommend this place. The only, and I mean ONLY, downside is that the villa is located a ways up the hill and the road is steep and treacherous in some places. We would definitely recommend a mode of transportation to get to the villa. We walked down into town most days and while we had to be careful, it was doable. The walk back up was quite challenging tho - a great workout for those more abled-bodied travelers.

The views are our fantastic and Sebastian Orly decorated the villa. The poor is fantastic even though the water was a little low in the living room and porch area proved to be where we spend most of our time during our .Decking around the pool can use replacing, but the bedroom air conditioning was a savior. The drive up to the villa cannot be understated on how challenging it is.
