Villa Pompadour is a two-bedroom bungalow for four in Nicoya, with a private pool, ocean and jungle views, open-air living, and peaceful sunset patios surrounded by nature.
The Space
Villa Pompadour is designed for slow living, peaceful moments, and unforgettable sunsets. Surrounded by nature and thoughtfully integrated into the landscape, this private retreat offers a tranquil setting for fully unwinding.
Take a swim in the pool overlooking the jungle, or relax on the patio as the sky turns golden each evening. Carefully curated details, inviting spaces, and a collection of books give the villa the warmth and character of a home with history and life.
Quiet, private, and serene, it is an ideal place to disconnect from noise and reconnect with the present moment.
The villa offers:
- Two spacious bedrooms with luxurious king-size beds and air conditioning
- Two full bathrooms with rain showers and a bathtub for long, relaxing soaks
- Fully equipped kitchen
- High-speed Wi-Fi
- Private swimming pool
- Expansive deck with ocean and jungle views
- Private parking
- Barbecue
- Sunbeds
The living area is entirely open-air, allowing ocean breezes and jungle sounds to move naturally through the home. Wooden panels can be closed at night for added comfort or left open if you prefer to sleep surrounded by nature, creating a unique tropical experience.
This is not a sealed resort but a home thoughtfully immersed in its natural surroundings. The pool is maintained regularly, although leaves may occasionally drift into the water as part of life in the lush jungle. A friendly neighborhood cat may also stop by and relax on the outdoor furniture.
Guests drawn to nature, tranquility, poetry, and the feeling of being gently removed from the world will feel at home here.
Guest Access
- A four-wheel-drive vehicle is required.
Additional Information
Internet
The villa provides high-speed fiber-optic internet, suitable for remote work, streaming, or staying connected during your stay.
Open Tropical Living and Nature
The villa is designed as an open tropical home, allowing fresh air, natural light, and the surrounding jungle to become part of the experience. Because of this close connection with nature, you may occasionally see local wildlife, including howler or white-faced monkeys passing nearby, as well as iguanas, geckos, and small harmless insects. These are all part of authentic Costa Rican living.
Island Rhythm
Santa Teresa follows a natural pace of life, and occasional power outages may occur. They are usually temporary and are part of the local experience of living close to nature.
Tropical Climate
Warm ocean air and lush surroundings bring natural humidity, contributing to the region’s vibrant greenery. Clothes may take a little longer to dry, especially during the rainy season, which is normal in a tropical environment.

This house is a true hidden gem: elegant, refined, and wonderfully located. Its greatest asset is undoubtedly the exceptional view overlooking both the ocean and the jungle. The sunsets are simply unforgettable. We received the warmest welcome from Sébastien, who was always available and incredibly kind throughout our stay. We loved falling asleep and waking up to the sounds of the jungle and its wildlife—exactly what we came to Costa Rica to experience. We will definitely return and stay longer next time, as this house is pure bliss. We followed the recommendation to rent a 4x4, although part of the road has now been paved. Sébastien has carried out some beautiful improvements to this superb home, and the new entrance is particularly charming. Congratulations on creating such a magical place—it truly stole our hearts!

Absolutely amazing place! The views are simply magnificent, with stunning sunsets that you don't get tired of. A big thank you to Laura for her excellent communication: she was attentive, kind, welcoming, and always available to answer our questions and give us advice, especially on restaurants. The place is beautiful, tastefully decorated in a truly gorgeous boho-chic style. Everything is comfortable: the bed is very nice, and the bathroom is convenient and well-designed. Access to the house is via an elevated area, but with a 4x4 it’s very easy. A 100% successful experience! Our only regret: not staying longer ✨🌺🌴

Thanks to Laura, who recently took over the management of the Villa and implemented what her predecessors had promised (a small safe for storing a computer and other valuables). Very nice hospitality.

Fiona was amazing! Very responsive and helpful. Unfortunately the place is a bit dated compared to its amazing pictures. Generally I don't leave reviews, but feel compelled to since I feel a bit duped. Pros: Beautiful View Private Spot close to town/beach Nice Pool Comfortable beds Cons: One bedroom A/C significantly worse than the second bedroom Tons of geckos in the evenings Toilets are pretty badly stained No lights near pool for evening swims Faucet water smells, I assume on a well Some towels had stains None of those things was a killer for the trip, we still had an amazing time, but for the price, I feel like there's better options available if you want to be in something cleaner and more comfortable.

Stay was very comfortable yet always worried about the safety of us. I didn’t like the fact that you cannot lock the doors, even though gate was there, you can easily walk in from the side. Also, asked for key to the safe which was never provided. So we had to carry our valuables everywhere. House needs maintenance, our bathroom had leak , which was fixed two days later, air conditioner in the room didn’t work. They fixed it eventually. Staff were polite and helpful. Besides all this, View was very beautiful, best sunset, beds were comfortable. Make sure you rent 4x4 for this location, slippery after u cross the creek numerous times of the day.

The house is amazing. The connection with nature is total. We could see monkeys outside and unique sunsets, with the peace of being far from any neighbors. The house is very nice, it has some details to correct, such as the possibility that the main room is really isolated from insects (it has a window without glass to the bathroom, which is outdoors) Fiona is an excellent co-host, she immediately resolved any questions we had and suggested excellent tours. I would definitely come back

Villa of my dreams! Truly enjoyed my stay here. The view was unreal, the pictures don’t do it justice. The hospitality was above and beyond! Any questions we had were answered within minutes. There was so much cool wildlife surrounding us, we even got to see monkeys in the trees right next to the villa. Would definitely come back and stay here again:)
