A truly beautiful villa, nestled in the very heart of nature. The breathtaking views, the soothing sound of the ocean, and the spectacular sunsets create an atmosphere that is difficult to put into words. Having monkeys, hummingbirds, and iguanas visiting the garden makes the experience even more magical. Sitting on the terrace at sunrise with a cup of coffee, listening to the gentle sound of the sea, is one of those simple yet unforgettable moments that stay with you long after you leave. The villa itself is spacious, comfortable, exceptionally clean, and offers large, airy rooms. We also greatly appreciated Vicente’s wonderful care and hospitality. He was practically always available, ready to answer any question and help whenever needed. From the very beginning, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and kindness. For me personally, our farewell was particularly touching. Vicente sent us on our way with heartfelt words, entrusting us to God’s protection and wishing us a safe journey.

We are a family of five. It's big enough for us all to have our own space and friendly enough for us to be together. Loved our stay!

A simply perfect stay; we loved it! Vicente was charming, always available, while being discreet. It was obvious that he was committed to making our stay memorable. The daily housekeeping service is also a huge plus. It was my first Airbnb stay with this type of service included, and we really appreciated it! For 8 people for a 6-day stay, it made a big difference, and it was very well done. Since the villa is located in a remote area, I thought I would be overrun with insects, but it was the cleanest and best maintained villa we stayed in during our 2-week stay in Costa Rica. I would 100% recommend it. It was just perfect!

The villa matches the description, and Vicente is on site and takes care of everything. He's very kind of you. We were a family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers, and everyone rested. Vicente arranged a surf lesson and an in-house chef (Ana, and she was great). If you have it delivered, do it at the beginning of your stay because you will have extra meals left over! The view is beautiful and the tide pools are right next door. The beach for swimming is within a 10-15 minute walk along the beach. We loved the vibe of Santa Teresa/Malpais. There are plenty of good restaurants and nice little local shops. We then went to Tamarindo and El Coco, and we really liked the relaxing side of Malpais better. We had howler monkeys for 2 days (they stay in the trees). We were privileged. Diana, the owner, was in the area and even came to chat with us. Super nice and dynamic! I would be back. ☺️

Little words could truly express our short, yet beautiful stay at Casa Celeste. The house was so lovely, clean, and having Viscente was the cherry on top. The outdoor space is truly an extension of living and we couldn’t get enough time outside. The beds were so comfortable and we all quickly fell asleep after our day in the sun and water. The kitchen is very well equipped and we only ordered food once, otherwise the supermarket is close and the options are plentiful. The hammocks were such a nice touch at sunset. Every time we paused to look out at the ocean it felt surreal. The kids didn’t need a screen to stay entertained and the respite our family of 6 immediately felt was immeasurable. Thank you to our hosts and Viscente, we will be back!

Perfect villa right on the sea. Very friendly hosts who responded quickly to any questions at all times. The caretaker, Vincente, the cleaning lady, and the neighbor's dog were also a 10/10. Everything was perfect.
