From the moment we arrived, Silvia treated us like family. She is incredibly warm, welcoming and helpful, and her villa is absolutely stunning. Every detail is beautiful and thoughtfully done—it truly felt like our own little piece of paradise for the week. The breakfasts are an absolute MUST—some of our favorite mornings were spent enjoying breakfast at the villa while watching the wildlife around us. The pool is to die for, and the monkeys are the housemates you never knew you needed! 🐒 We loved watching them from the pool and around the property throughout our stay. The community also felt incredibly safe. The villa itself is perfection, and Hacienda Pinilla was such a wonderful home base for our family. We highly recommend renting a golf cart for bopping around Hacienda Pinilla and using Denis for transportation, excursions and exploring beyond the property. It made everything so easy. This was our family’s first trip to Costa Rica, but it absolutely will not be our last.

You were absolutely fabulous! I’m still flying on the plane. Although my message is short, it’s full of appreciation. Please come back with your mom, I would absolutely love to meet her! ❤️

Our stay was simply unforgettable. From the moment we booked, Silvia was incredibly proactive, welcoming, and caring. She personally greeted us on arrival, shared valuable local tips, and was always available whenever we needed anything. The villa is absolutely breathtaking, and the photos truly do not do it justice. It is even more beautiful, spacious, and well-equipped in person. Every detail has been carefully thought out, offering all the comfort and services of a five-star hotel in the privacy of a home. Silvia also connected us with Denis, and that recommendation transformed our vacation. Denis went above and beyond every day, helping with tours, restaurants, groceries, transportation, and even special family needs. His kindness, knowledge, and sense of humor made him much more than a driver; he became a friend. Thanks to Silvia and Denis, our family created memories we will cherish forever. We are already planning our return! ❤️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The house is spectacular, quiet, and very far from the noise. You sleep very well. I loved the pool areas. I would definitely return.

Silvia’s place is extremely nice! Just as you see in pics. Nice location. Perfect for 6 adults. Denis (the recommended drive) is what made our trip! Make sure to book him as he knows everyone and is the kindest human! We loved Denis! We had a hiccup with breakfast and the housekeeper but Silvia fixed it later that day. Silvia is very communicative, I would say too much for our group. I had tons of messages daily. One other thing to be aware of is “full service” means someone is always around. Pool guy, gardener, house keeper, security guard with a key etc. Even Silvia was at house on arrival and came to the house prior to departure while we were still enjoying the house. She also advised she would be having painters come at 8am on checkout day even though we weren’t checking out until 10. She canceled them once I reiterated we wanted privacy. Overall, the house was great just some things for people to be aware of if you are looking for a more private house.

Thank you for your feedback. I genuinely care about my guests and sometimes that means I communicate more than some people prefer. My intention is simply to make sure everything runs smoothly and that guests have all the information they need to enjoy their vacation. I appreciate your perspective and will strive to find the right balance. House Services & Privacy Casa Ventura is a fully serviced luxury villa, designed so you can relax while we take care of the property for you. Pool Service: Our pool technician visits briefly almost every morning to ensure the pool is sparkling clean and ready for your enjoyment. Housekeeping: Complimentary housekeeping is provided Monday through Friday for approximately 4 hours each day to keep the villa fresh and comfortable during your stay. Garden Maintenance: Our gardener visits two afternoons each week for approximately 2–3 hours to maintain the tropical gardens and grounds. Community Security: Casa Ventura is located within the secure gated community of Golondrinas at Hacienda Pinilla, with 24/7 security patrols. The security team protects the entire community—not just our home. If the alarm system detects that exterior doors have been left open for an extended period while guests are away, security may enter the property to ensure everything is safe. This is a rare occurrence and is done solely for the protection of our guests and the home. We always strive to respect our guests' privacy while maintaining the high standards expected of a luxury vacation home. If you would prefer housekeeping or maintenance to be scheduled around your plans whenever possible, simply let us know and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

Silvia did exceptionally well as a host. She not only provided consistent support, but gave us a great list of activities and food places to go. She greeted us personally even though we experienced delays in our arrival. We would recommend her location and wished we had stayed longer. Would totally recommend it.

The house is incredible! The pictures don’t do it justice. We took the wrong roads getting there and I was bumpy but once you figure out where you are the experience getting around is terrific. Silvia is so lovely and Gaby maintains the property very well.
Host Response
Thank you so much! Gaby and I absolutely loved having you all with us!

We loved our time in Costa Rica! Silvia’s home is absolutely beautiful and really made the trip. Silvia was very responsive and a big help with any questions we had. I highly recommend including breakfast each morning with your stay. It’s yummy and gabby was so accommodating. We rented golf carts so that we could go back and forth to the beach club. Can’t wait to come back again! Thanks Silvia for everything!
Host Response
Thank you so much, Beth, for the wonderful 5-star review. We truly enjoy having you as our guest and always look forward to hosting you. We appreciate your kindness and support

First and foremost, BOOK WITH DENIS as your driver. He helped my family and I book excursions, find the best spots for dinner, night life and natural views. He knows Guanacaste very well and has so many connections. He is super nice and accommodating. The home was beautiful, and each room had its own private bathroom, except for two rooms that shared a connecting bathroom. The home was super clean and Silvia was great on assisting with anything that needed to be fixed. The area itself was very peaceful and quiet, making it a relaxing stay. One thing to keep in mind is that you’ll likely need some form of transportation around Hacienda Pinilla, as the beach, beach clubs, grocery stores, and restaurants are not within walking distance. I recommend renting a golf cart, car or having a personal driver. The community is very secure and equipped with security. Needless to say my family and I enjoyed our stay & felt safe while doing so.
Host Response
Thank you soooo much. Come back again :) We love having you!

We had a great stay at Silvia’s home. She was kind, responsive, helpful, and very communicative, quickly addressing any issues and sharing local recommendations. The house is modern, spacious, and very well-equipped, with a pool that was a highlight for our group. It’s in a safe, gated community, just a short 10-minute walk to the beach—where we even spotted iguanas and monkeys. Overall, a perfect home base for a relaxing Costa Rica getaway with friends. We’d definitely stay here again!
