Important Information
Tropical Environment
Costa Rica’s tropical climate supports a wide variety of insects, lizards, rodents, and reptiles. Although we maintain a strict pest-control plan to help keep these visitors outside the home, occasional encounters with local wildlife are a natural part of the experience and do not constitute a breach of the rental policy.
We appreciate your understanding as you enjoy the beauty of this vibrant ecosystem.
Pool Maintenance
The maintenance team will require access to the house on pool-maintenance days.
Power and Water
Because the property is located in the mountains, power outages may occasionally occur due to falling branches or other weather-related issues.
The local water supply comes from nearby springs and may also experience occasional interruptions. Please keep these possibilities in mind as part of the rural and natural experience of staying in this beautiful area.

The place was fantastic. Worth every penny! The view alone is worth the trek up. Def accessible with a 4x4 easily. Pool was super clean. Beds were comfy. Grill ran out of gas and they had a tank delivered up immediately.

We had the most amazing family stay at Villa Altamonte. The villa surpassed our expectations. The view was spectacular and we enjoyed the Toucan fly by in the morning and spotted monkeys in the trees close to the villa. It was the perfect base for whale watching and spending some down time on the last leg of our trip in Costa Rica. Now we are back it feels almost dreamlike. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. I just wish we could have stayed longer.

An ultra-modern villa nestled in the canopy with panoramic views of the Pacific and Marino Ballena Park. Windows everywhere, including in the shower, which gives the impression of being in the middle of the forest. Very nice spaces. Air conditioning and fans everywhere Pleasant swimming pool. Functional laundry room, very much appreciated when traveling with family Access via an unpaved track with a significant slope but without ruts. Lack of cooking utensils and dishes.

The house was beautiful, with breathtaking views. Everything was sparkling clean and very pleasant. We would definitely recommend staying here. Communication was also very fast and pleasant. Also the communication about activities and restaurants and the like. We greatly enjoyed the truly beautiful house, as well as the communication with Roberto and his colleague.

Villa Altamonte is a dream of house. Absolutely perfect to disconnect. It has got everything you need. The view, the rainforest sounds, it is breathtaking. Uvita is an enchanting area. It has been the most beautiful place where I have ever been and I am terribly sad to have left Villa Altamonte behind. The photos do not make justice. I cannot recommend it high enough.
