Beautiful and super comfortable place. We had a great time and felt super well looked after. Both Roberto and Diana were friendly and communicated excellently. We really loved the place.

Un lugar hermoso y súper cómodo. La pasamos muy bien y nos sentimos súper bien atendidos. Tanto Roberto como Diana fueron amables y tuvieron una excelente comunicación. Realmente, nos encantó el lugar.

Gorgeous place with comfortable beds and stunning views of the costa line. Plenty of animal life sightings: monkeys, toucans, deers, pisotes and more. Beautiful neighborhood for nature walking with gorgeous vistas. Just be aware that it a long and bumpy drive from the main road/beach/restaurants so pack and plan accordingly! The hosts were attentive and always responsive.

Amazing home to stay while visiting the OSA peninsula for a month. We were surrounded by wildlife and the view is stunning. Everyday felt like a dream! The tennis courts were fun as well for the family to get some fun playing time! Two amazing pools for swimming and the roof top terrace was very peaceful and also offered a shady morning spot under the palm tree to have a morning coffee. Watching the stars at night was also nice from the rooftop with all the lights off the sky lit up like I’ve never seen before. Be prepared for a bit of a drive up the mountain but once you’re there it’s totally worth the rocky road up to the top. The property management company was very helpful and always quick to respond to our questions or concerns. My only recommendation would be for the property owner to supply wooden cutting boards instead of only plastic / better cooking pans not deteriorating Teflon pans and a solid wood bbq scraper. Those small changes I think would go a long way! PV!

Epic views up the coast. Incredible house. Very private. Host was very responsive and communicative. Great for those who want nature an amazing view and pool and cooking at home. Kitchen was stocked. Great grill. Note: you need 4x4 and it’s quite a trek up the mountain but it’s worth it for the view. Plan ahead and stop at grocery store!

Roberto, Diana, and Persephone were exceptional hosts.  Very responsive and helpful. The house was amazing but a bit of an adventure up the mountain to it.  Will use them again.

We stayed 11 days and absolutely loved it. I wasn't sure about being that far up the mountain, but would do it again in a heartbeat. Surrounded by mature trees, the views, especially of whale's tail, are stunning. We saw so much wildlife right from the property, including monkeys, coati, and toucans. Watching hummingbirds hover around the palm tree and a sky full of stars from the rooftop deck was incredible. The home was spotless, the bed and indoor/outdoor furniture were very comfortable, and the kitchen was spacious, accommodating, and well stocked. Plenty of towels and basics like laundry soap were provided. A/C worked great, though the breezes and ceiling fans kept us cool. The tap water was better than bottled water. We felt safe in the gated community, and the property management team went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. Villa Tranquila is the perfect name for this home, everything is even better than the photos. Highly recommend!!

We enjoyed our stay and were very impressed by the home. Super clean, amazing views, and such a beautiful calming area. We felt safe and were taken care of by our hosts who were awesome. We would definitely come back again. Thank you for an amazing visit!!

Everything great, nice host, stunning accommodation

Alles super, netter gastgeber, atemberaubende unterkunft

Can’t say enough amazing things about this place. As amazing as it looked online it’s more impressive in person. The location is remote and you feel buried in the jungle but still 20 minutes from the heart of Uvita. We saw so many animals during our stay…family of monkeys, coatimundis, toucans, tree frogs. We cook a lot and the kitchen was amazing. The property is 2 large bedrooms both with king beds and a separate casita with king bed and bathroom and its own kitchen. The view every morning when we hit the remote on the electric shades to reveal the whales tail was amazing.

A cool house in an incredible place. Yes, it's far on the hills, but it's worth it. The house itself is spacious, clean and elegant. The management showed good communication and does its job well, thank you. Cool view of the tail and the coast of Puntarenas. I am very grateful for the opportunity to spend a few days in such beauty.

Класний будинок в неймовірному місці. Так, далеко на пагорбах, але воно того варте. Сам будинок просторний, чистий і вишуканий. Менеджмент проявив гарну комунікацію і робить свою справу відмінно, дякую. Класний вид на хвіст і узбережжя Пунтаренас. Дуже вдячний за можливість провести декілька днів в такій красі.

This was our second time to the Uvita area. This house is in a very nice secluded place overlooking Whales Tail. The family really enjoyed all the wildlife on the drive up to the house and the views from the infinity pool are spectacular! The host was very responsive and helpful with anything we needed. We will definitely be coming back and I definitely would recommend staying here.

Wow, this place was absolutely magical. We were so grateful to have stayed in such a gorgeous home for 6 nights and have the chance to see 2 different types of toucans, howler monkeys, capuchin monkeys, and coatis all on the property. The location and home were secure, clean, and impressive. Beds were comfortable, air conditioning worked well, showers werea dream. In the pictures, the Whale's Tail looked like it would be hard to see, but the actual view of Uvita and the Whale's Tail is pretty incredible and much closer than expected. We have been to Costa Rica a couple of times now and choose homes higher up in the jungle for the privacy and view, but I will say this house is UP THERE. There's no way a non-4x4 car would make it up. It was quite the ride, and did take us longer than google maps said to expect. Even with the drive, this place is where you want to be. Couldn't have been better. Diana, Roberto and team were also amazing to work with, friendly, and very responsive.

We came to Dominical/Uvita for a special birthday trip.  Being our first time in the area, we wanted to explore beaches and waterfalla.  This villa was perfectly located and it allowed us to experience great comfort, peace and serenity, all surrounded by lush nature. The hosts were great, quick responders, very organized, and took care of everything we needed.

Such a beautiful and peaceful location, with an epic view! Very spacious house with incredible ocean views from every bedroom. We enjoyed listening to the howler monkeys in the morning! Its a bit of a drive from Uvita/Dominical, but well worth it for the beauty and privacy it offers. 4WD is definitely needed to get here. Roberto and Diana were very responsive and helpful! We would love to come back here someday and highly recommend this place

Roberto and Dianne were incredibly helpful. They were flexible on check-in and helped us find help, including food prep and house cleaning (the food was wonderful!). Would 100% recommend anyone looking for a quiet, peaceful, and lovely house.

It’s important to us that out guest hace a great moments in this paradise! We’re so happy you enjoyed it! ☺️

It is a wonderful, comfortable property where we have enjoyed a dream vacation.

Es una propiedad maravillosa, cómoda donde hemos disfrutado de unas vacaciones de ensueño.

☺️Esperamos que regresen pronto Sara!

This house is perfection! It is even more beautiful than the pictures show. It is a LONG way up the mountain, but not an issue if you aren’t needing to go up and down. It is so private, you don’t see another soul. The pool is excellent and the outdoor shower was our favorite part. We cooked thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen and had everything we needed!

Beautiful villa, secluded with an amazing ocean view.

The total experience here was amazing!! As others mentioned the photos don’t do the place justice. Upon entering this grand home you have an amazing water view that is breathtaking. The kitchen is well stocked with necessities for cooking your own meals. We spent many hours on the patio enjoying watching the monkeys play in the trees and listening to the howler monkey who visited the area each day. The grounds are immaculate. The concierge team was responsive and helpful when needed. We would 100% stay here again on our next trip to Uvita! Definitely need a 4x4 vehicle, the drive is easier the second time. I would NOT recommend attempting to get to this house after dark. We made sure to return home before dark each evening as the roads are steep, windy and gravel for some parts. You are almost at the top of the mountain and the views are sooooooo incredible.

Our family spent 6 nights at La Tranquila and never wanted to leave. Even though we had seen photos of the property, arriving at the home left me speechless. The view is SO gorgeous. Every day I loved it more. The grounds, house are beautiful. The views from every area are amazing and it was a great place to be rain or shine.  We all loved the wildlife.  So many unique birds. We heard howler monkeys every day. One morning a white faced capuchin came through the canopy. Diana and Roberto are wonderful to work with and are a talented, kind and adorable couple. We took advantage of their private chef services and had delicious, healthy dinners cooked nightly. Their team arranged zip lining, whale watching and an ATV tour for us and had helpful recommendations. All so fun! We loved the Uvita area and the Costa Rican people. We hope to return! . It was one of our best family trips ever.  A perfect combo of luxury and adventure. You will not regret booking this home!

We recently took a family trip seeking a quiet house in the jungle to immerse ourselves in the wildlife, and this villa exceeded our expectations! Nestled in the heart of the jungle, it offered every luxury imaginable, along with breathtaking views stretching all the way to the Osa Peninsula. The pools were a delight for everyone, providing endless enjoyment. We would happily return anytime. This was truly an unforgettable experience! Roberto and the team are great communicators - all went very smooth!

Thank you for your review Djork, we really appreciate it. Villa Tranquila is indeed an amazing property, surrounded by nature all around. We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay so much and we will be waiting for you to come back soon again!!!

Great place to stay, minus a few things. I would recommend though. New Experiences, no regrets.

Definitely the most beautiful AirBnb I have ever stayed in with the most beautiful view. The pictures on the listing don’t capture how beautiful it is. The concierge included in the rental set up great activities for us to do during our stay in Uvita. The house and view are breathtaking. Will recommend to any of my friends going to Costa Rica! Amazing- 10/10!

Where do I even begin, Roberto's place was absolutely stunning! If you are looking for the ultimate relaxation and privacy, along with breathtaking views, this is your AirBnB! It in the most amazing location in the middle of the jungle with an infinity pool and views of the Pacific Ocean. I know this sounds repetitive from the other reviews, but the pictures do NOT do it justice! The place was very clean and the beds were super comfy! Diana was very helpful as well throughout our entire stay. She recommended several different excursions and activities close by. I highly recommend the ATV Trail Rides with an amazing waterfall hike at the end! She also was able to setup quite possibly the best massage I've ever the last day of our stay! Thanks again to Roberto and Diana for making my first visit to Costa Rica so memorable!

Roberto and Diana were absolutely amazing hosts. They had someone lead us up the mountain so we had a very smooth check in process, and when we opened the doors of the house and saw the view it was absolutely breathtaking! They helped us book amazing local tours, and we had private chef dinners that they cooked that were made with incredibly clean and delicious ingredients. We highly recommend this property or any of Roberto and Diana's properties!

It was a real pleasure to host you and your beautiful family during your stay at Villa Tranquila. We enjoyed spending time with you and we sure hope you come back soon again!!!

We absolutely loved our stay.  This is a stunning place with so much room and privacy.  The views are incredible and it felt like home.  We really, really loved our stay!

WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We thoroughly enjoyed our week vacation at the villa! It was our first family trip to Costa Rica and we cannot wait to come back. The villa had a fully equipped kitchen for us to cook home meals and a beautiful view of the famous whale tail. Throughout our week at the villa, we heard and saw many different animals including Howler Monkeys! Diana and Roberto answered any questions or concerns within minutes and were immensely helpful in helping find a car rental, excursions and changing last minute reservations. The villa is close to beautiful restaurants and a waterfall. We enjoyed the nature and quiet environment of the villa - you are fully emerged into the jungle! Thank you Diana and Roberto for making our trip stress free and enjoyable.

I can’t even begin to express how truly amazing this house was. The pictures don’t even do this house justice. It’s absolutely incredible. The owner has thought out every single detail and the home is absolutely gorgeous! The beds are some of the most comfortable I have ever slept in. I am still dreaming of the beds! The view is beyond anything I could have ever imagined. There are so many areas to catch a view. It’s absolutely breathtaking. It’s located in a beautiful private community with epic views all around. There’s a coffee shop, restaurant and grocery store half way up the mountain. Also, Diana and Roberto were one of the best parts too. They took such good care of us and answered any questions we had. They also came up and cooked dinner for us one night which made our trip extra special. I am so excited to head back in a few months for my 40th celebration. This house will not disappoint and I hope every one gets to experience Costa Rica this way.

This house was amazing. It is in Costa Verde Estates, a very secure and well maintained community with a park, tennis court and fitness center. We LOVED the roof deck set in the canopy. Everyday we saw tons of wildlife at dawn and dusk. Cool mountain temperatures meant we could sleep with doors and windows open every night to hear the amazing sounds of the jungle, yet a short drive to many beaches and restaurants
