Our stay at Villa Chill was an absolute dream! The property is a true paradise, with breathtaking views of the mountains and ocean that left us in awe. The villa itself is stunning, with luxurious amenities and a beautiful design that perfectly complements the natural surroundings. What made our experience truly exceptional was Annick’s wonderful hospitality. She was incredibly helpful and communicative throughout our stay, always going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Her attention to detail and genuine care for her guests shone through in every interaction. Villa Chill is a true gem, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect escape. It’s clear that Annick puts her heart into creating an unforgettable experience for her guests. The property is well worth the investment, and we can’t wait to return for another dose of paradise! Thank you, Annick, for being such an excellent host and sharing your slice of heaven with us. We’re already counting down the day

Our stay was excellent. The house is simply stunning; the views are spectacular and make the place even more special. Everything was spotlessly clean, very tidy, and perfectly equipped with everything you need. The spaces are spacious, comfortable and make you feel at home. This is the second time we have visited the accommodation and we certainly still love it. Annick is an exceptional host: always very friendly, with quick and attentive communication from before arrival. Marquitos was also very kind and made sure everything was in order during our stay. We would definitely come back a third time, and we recommend this place 100% for those looking for tranquility, comfort and unforgettable views. Thank you very much for everything!

Villa Chill was amazing!! My family stayed with 12 people and everyone was comfortable and loved the property. The rooms were comfortable, sleeping was comfortable, we cooked multiple times for the group and we had everything we needed. The views are beautiful, and the surrounding property is Amazing. Hiking around the property with Marquito was a highlight of the trip. We loved the birds and wildlife on the property. The location is very convenient. We were able to activities from Uvita to Domincal, Manuel Antonio and Quepos areas. There are lots of local restaurants and nearby groceries. The host was fantastic. She was accommodating and friendly, provided lots of suggestions and tips, and even tailored recommendations based on our itinerary. She was extremely responsive and proactive in communications. Getting to the property is easy, but its a steep dirt road and I'd recommend an SUV. We loved this stay and would give 6 stars if we could and hope to stay again!

Our family had the most amazing time at Villa Chill, a perfect home to explore the many attractions in the area, from pristine beaches to gorgeous waterfalls and national parks, or to just hang around and enjoy the scenic views of the bay, the wildlife, the pool and the trails in the property. Every sunrise and sunset were unforgetable. The house is spacious for a big group, well stocked with everything you might need and super clean. Annick went above and beyond to make us feel confortable and gave us precious tips, the best host ever, honestly. I truly recommend Villa Chill if you are planning to visit tha southern pacific coast of Costa Rica.

No words can convey the beauty and comfort we experienced. And before the trip Annick was over the top helpful. If you are lucky enough to book this property, I think you will be as grateful as our family of 13 who stayed here for a week. We were all smiles and laughter mixed with oooos and ahhhhhs.

Our 4 families w/ teen boys stayed at Annick’s property & it was perfect for our group! We had our own rooms & bathrooms, plenty of space to spread out, everything we needed, + great spaces to gather together. Views from the windows, patio, pool deck are absolutely stunning! We enjoyed watching & hearing wildlife all day long, taking hikes, sound of ocean in the distance. The pool area was perfect to relax during the day, cool off from being out in the heat. It was a great location, about 10-20 minutes from cute beach towns with plenty of places to eat. Annick & her staff were FANTASTIC, welcoming hosts! They answered all our questions quickly, gave us tips on local activities and food options. Adriana made us superb traditional CR breakfast- loved it!! We HIGHLY recommend this place - better than the pics! Be ready for the steep, bumpy road to get there. Nothing you can’t do, just be ready. We are used to FLAT roads where we live, but quickly had it down. That’s how you get the views!
