We had an absolutely perfect stay at the villa! It was beautiful, spacious, clean, and had everything we needed. Our host Andres was incredibly friendly and always responded within minutes whenever we had a question. Mina, our maid, was also wonderful and made sure everything was perfectly clean every day. The view was amazing, and we were lucky enough to see monkeys, parrots, toucans, and even a sloth from the villa! The location was great as well, close to restaurants, shops, and a supermarket, with the beach within walking distance. We highly recommend staying here and would definitely come back!

If you are looking for the quintessential Manuel Antonio experience, Casa Dolce Vita delivers it with effortless elegance. The Property & Amenities The home is exceptionally well-maintained and "well-stocked" is an understatement—it truly felt like a private residence where every detail had been considered. The View & Wildlife The crown jewel of this villa is undoubtedly the infinity pool. Spending the golden hour here is a must; the panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean are breathtaking. However, the real show-stoppers were the "neighbors." While lounging in the pool, we were treated to incredible wildlife sightings. Service & Concierge What truly elevated our stay from great to unforgettable was the service, specifically from our concierge, Andres. He was incredibly kind, professional, and went out of his way to ensure our logistics were seamless. Andres curated and booked two excursions for us that were highlights of the trip. Wonderful stay - would book again.

This house was unbelievable! We stayed for 5 nights with our two teenage kids and I cannot imagine a better place to stay. Our pre-arrival concierge helped arrange a few adventures which were all perfect, but we couldn’t wait to get “home” to see what kind of wildlife visitors awaited. We spent hours sitting in the open-air living room watching multiple species of monkeys and birds pass by. We loved having the monkeys pop into the living room to say hi- definitely take care not to leave anything out for the Monkey Mafia! We loved being able to walk into town for delicious meals at the local restaurants, but most of all we loved our private chef, Javier! Definitely ask for Javier for an incredible home-cooked meal- worth it in every way! Our concierge, Andres & housekeeper Mina were awesome and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. We had such a magical trip- highly recommend!!

Great place to stay! Lots of wildlife and enjoyed the daily visits. Will definitely stay here again.

This is stunning home with breathtaking views of the ocean and tons of wild life. Lots of monkeys, colorful birds, iguanas, and even a tapir were right beside or on the property. The service was amazing. The host arranged our tours for us and was very responsive. The maid was friendly, thorough, and even washed and folded our clothes each day! Perfect location for lots of rainforest and beach outings.

My family loved this house and Sidney the host was great. We were laid back with our plans and Sidney was able to book a same day tour for us that picked us up right from the house. The view is amazing. Kind of funny that after tour to see animals our best sloth sighting were right here at the house. We also saw monkeys and macaws. One thing to note with the open air living space, bugs do fly or crawl in, mostly at night, but are really that bad, but we did have to keep all our food in the fridge because tiny ants found they way into the cupboards. Convenience stores, shops, and restaurants can be accessed in as little as a 10 minute walk.

Exceeded our expectations! Amazing location. We enjoyed the wildlife. Saw monkeys, toucans and macaws daily. Felt like a luxury stay! Sydney was so kind and helpful. We appreciated the help booking ziplining for our kids. Great location and easy to get to nearby supermarket and restaurants. Would definitely come back.

The listing's pictures and descriptions do not adequately describe this beautiful property. I have visited Manuel Antonio/Quepos many times and this house, by far, outshines all the other properties. The house has postcard worthy views with an abundance of daily wildlife. We saw mischievous monkeys, toucans, iguanas, scarlet macaws, and other wildlife daily. The house is a short walk to many restaurants, bars, shops, and activities. The housekeeper keeps a pristine home and took special care to wash and fold our laundry. The primary suite may be the most the most beautiful space I have ever slept in with views that are unsurpassed. Don't think twice about this property, if it's available, book it!

The place is really beautiful, excellent daily cleaning service. The highlight was regularly seeing monkeys, parrots, sloths directly around the villa! The view was breathtaking and the rooms very comfortable. Great location and even better than the photos.

This property is amazing! Truly a world-class experience. One of the most unique and beautiful places we have ever stayed. The views of the rain forest and ocean were spectacular. We loved the Balinese decor and the exposure and experiences we had with all the rain forest animals was priceless. We saw white-faced capuchin and squirrel monkeys, sloths, toucans, iguanas, and parrots. The place was extremely clean and a private maid came every day! We highly recommend this place in the Quepos/Manuel Antonio area!
