Important Notes
Villa La Selva is located in a private, gated community primarily inhabited by full-time residents and families. A very strict noise policy is enforced between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. to ensure a peaceful environment.
This property is not suitable for parties or large events. It is ideal for groups of adults and families who respect the community rules and neighbors. Guests planning to host noisy gatherings or large events should consider alternative accommodations, as violations may result in eviction without a refund.

Our stay was amazing! Would highly recommend this house near tamarindo. We are a family of 10 with 5 children. The house was perfect for our size. The daily housekeeper Jimena was so sweet. Joel was very responsive and helpful to make our stay memorable. We could tell how much the owner wanted us to have the best time! The community is beautiful and great to take walks and explore. Always felt safe and everyone was friendly. So much to do without needing to drive far. Beaches were phenomenal. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to costa rica. Thank you Joel for everything. All of the kids said this was the best vacation and best house!

Our stay at Villa la Selva was excellent! The house has everything you need and is in a beautiful neighborhood that felt very private and very safe. We even saw a family of monkeys climbing trees in the backyard which was really cool! Joel was extremely proactive and had excellent recommendations even connecting us with a private chef who came to the Villa and cooked a beautiful dinner for us. We enjoyed breath taking sunset dinners at Pangas and Lola’s right on the beach—the food and drinks were delicious. JW Marriot is right around the corner from the Villa and is a place you should check out during your stay. Top shelf experience for us all the way around. We will definitely be back!

It was an amazing house, extremely beautiful and clean. All amenities needed to cook, and the grill worked great to cook the fish we caught. Roads leading up to the home are filled with holes so I highly recommend renting a jeep. Aside from that everything was perfect!

Fantastic property with great grounds only a little over an hour from Liberia airport. House is amazing with great indoor and outdoor space. Only about 20-30 mins from Tamarindo downtown which has everything. Hosts were extremely responsive to any question or issue we had and made great recommendations for activities and restaurants as well. Definitely need a rental car to get around outside of the complex. Would definitely stay again and look forward to coming back.

The place was beautiful and looked exactly like all of the pictures. All the bedrooms were spacious, lots of light, and the AC worked well. I was there with 4 friends and we felt we had separate areas to relax, but beautiful common areas to hang out together. We made use of the pool and spa on the first night. I loved the many glass doors which made me feel enveloped in the beauty of the area. They add you to a texting group so that you may contact the concierge at any time and they always responded fairly quickly or within a reasonable time if we texted at night. I also like that they partnered with a transportation service so all we had to do was text them and book our ride (at our cost). The price was reasonable and comparable to all other services we looked at and they waited for us while at restaurants so that was nice. I had a very short list of things I wanted Joel to address and he did so in reasonable time. would stay again!

Our stay at Villa La Selva was a fantastic experience. The property has stunning natural scenery, combined with luxury and a cozy environment. The Vida Pinilla team provides outstanding service and everyone was incredibly helpful in enhancing our stay. They assisted us in securing a transportation, golf cart rentals, arranging a private chef, and booking excursions, all of which added greatly to our experience. Every aspect of our vacation was handled with professionalism and attention to detail, allowing us to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of Costa Rica. Highly recommend it for an stress-free, luxurious stay. Definitely a five-star experience!

This place exceeded our expectations. Diana made us breakfast and cleaned and that was included in the cost. The management team is very responsive and capable. By far a luxury vacation with a beautiful property, working hot tub, and jungle nature vibe outside.
