4BR villa in Manuel Antonio

Balinese Style Villa w/Panoramic Views & Pool - Houses for Rent in Quepos, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

We had an absolutely wonderful week staying at Casa Azul. Amazing views, great location, walking distance to fantastic restaurants, and wildlife everywhere! The staff at the villa did such a great job. The housekeeper came daily to tidy up, bring fresh towels, and even did our laundry twice. Our concierge Andres was so helpful and responsive, booking all of our activities, as well as an amazing meal cooked by Chef Freddy at the villa. Highly recommend!

Great location with a lot of animals stopping by to say hello.  View of the ocean from the tree tops is still something I didn't think I would ever experience.  Have already talked to friends about going back.

The location and staff were amazing.    Thank you for a great trip.  The wild life was beautiful and always around.   Watch out for the white faced monkey mafia they do not play around.   The house is in a great spot for all the activities and the views are second to none.

Had a great time at the very unique and well located place. Truly one of a kind

It is a wonderful alternative to get to know the region. Incredible, each one is super comfortable and charming. The service from Andrés and the rest of the staff was also excellent. Definitely recommend and would return

Es una maravillas alternativa para conocer la región . Increíble cada súper confortable y con mucho encanto . La atención de Andrés y del resto del staff fueron asimismo excelentes . Sin dudas para recomendar y regresar

Photos do not do it justice! Beautiful views and location

Great place to stay with a breath taking view! Only downsize was the amount of stairs, we were traveling with elderly people and this wasnt shown in the pictures or disclosed in the description. Other than that, would recommend!

I wish you had asked. This photo shows a 4 story home, https://a0.muscache.com/im/pictures/miso/Hosting-11395890/original/4be77552-7060-4f2a-b511-b08b2e68f801.jpeg?im_w=1440

Simply stunning. The best view on Manuel Antonio. The place is so unique having an open kitchen and diner. Saw the most wildlife than any other part of Costa Rica including national parks!! Toucans lizards iguanas, frogs, parrots and yes loads of monkeys. They do climb on the terraces but really not a problem if you don’t leave any food out. All cupboards and fridge have locks on so surprised by comments in a previous review. All rooms have aircon and open areas have fans so temperature is pleasant. Pool amazing and bedrooms of a high standard. Food delivered at no extra cost than the food and Charlie always on hand to give advice. He went above and beyond when we also had a problem with a personal issue. 5 stars all round, wish we’d stayed longer

Thank you so much, hope to see you back soon.

Wow, what a jungle gem! Fernando and the entire concierge team (shout out to Carlos and Charlie) proactively welcomed us as soon as we booked and offered any help to make this feel like a private mini resort. We had incredible views of the ocean, Manuel Antonio National Park, and the wildlife literally comes to your doorstep (be sure to lock up all food when not around as we quickly had some monkey visitors). From our balcony we saw two types of monkeys, a sloth, variety of lizards, scarlet macaw parrots, and even a kinkajou at night! We booked a private chef to make us dinner one night and Chef Freddie was outstanding. Location is great and walkable to venues up the paved hill and minutes from Manuel Antonio National Park. Pura Vida in every sense!

Thank you for the great review, so glad you enjoyed it.

We absolutely loved our stay! The home is beautiful with the most incredible views. The beds were comfortable and it was nice to have fresh linens and towels each day provided by Mina, the housekeeper. A couple things to note: there is a dead end road directly below the villa with delivery drivers coming and going. I pictured it being a secluded jungle, so that’s just something to be aware of. There are also a fair amount of bugs inside because of the open air concept. That being said, the place was wonderful and we would stay here again in a heartbeat!

The house is just like it is pictured. The living and dining areas are open air, but was still comfortable in the evening due to multiple ceiling fans. The bedrooms are air conditioned and doors are closed to keep out bugs. The beds were very comfortable, and the en suite bathrooms were spotless. Since the living areas are open, bring some bug spray for the evenings. the bugs were not a big problem but a few evenings we did have some mosquitos. The wildlife viewing was spectacular. From the living area we saw capuchin monkeys(more on them later), spider monkeys, parrots, macaws, toucans, and a sloth with a baby. The White Faced Capuchin monkeys visited the house almost daily. Since the living area is open air they have access. It is mandatory that the cabinets be locked and items be put away as they are very determined. Once they determine they can't get anything, they move on. David the concierge and Mina the housekeeper were exceptional. Also had Chef Michael for 2 fabulous dinners

Thank you so much for the great review, Richard. Let us know when you are ready to come back to paradise.

We had wonderful days in the villa. You never get enough of the view!!!! Walking to a restaurant can only be done if you have no difficulty with steep roads. And it's pretty dark. So also because of safety we went by car. Lots of stairs to the house and inside the house.

We hebben heerlijke dagen gehad in de villa. Van het uitzicht krijg je nooit genoeg!!!! Lopend naar een restaurant kan alleen als je geen moeite met steile wegen. En het is behoorlijk donker. Dus ook vanwege veiligheid gingen wij met de auto. Veel trappen naar het huis en in het huis.

Beautiful place, lots of stairs but worth it

5 star bnb! great views from the pool and an abundance of wildlife no matter the time of day

The house exceeded our expectations. We were surrounded by wildlife all the time and had an incredible view of the ocean. Each room was very clean. The hosts were very responsive and helped get different tours scheduled and coordinated a chef and grocery delivery. Would 100% come back and recommend to friends and family!

Our jaws dropped when we entered! The villa is unbelievably gorgeous and we had the most incredible stay. It felt as though we rented out a private resort to ourselves but still had a whole team of resources to ensure we had a wonderful stay. Truly the most amazing vacation we have ever taken. The view is incredible from every floor. It is very clean, well stocked with everything you could possibly need, and the concierge service was incredible. I also highly recommend the private chef. We did this the night the arrived and the night we left and it is an experience we'll never forget. The food and service was incredible. Going into the trip we were a little anxious about the open floor since we were traveling with a 2yo and 4yo but they did well as long as we kept tabs on them :). They loved the monkey encounters and it was a memory that we will not forget. We also did not have any issue with bugs and were able to hang out on the main level at night without issue. Amazing Villa!!

This place was nothing short of INCREDIBLE! The wildlife was out of this world. Will stay here again!! Thanks for all your help, beautiful place!

Very private with a million dollar view.  And the pool and open kitchen/ living space made this place very memorable.  The staff were great; the free valet laundry service was very helpful.  Only downside is the stairs as the house is spread over 4 floors.  I guess that’s why the views were great.  We thoroughly enjoyed the stay.

This house is perfect for your family.   Nearby lots of restaurants. Great maid and Conceirge.   Clean bedrooms.     Daily visits from animals.

We had a great time & can’t wait to book this house again.

I cannot say enough about how much we absolutely adored this home. We had lots of help arranging activities beforehand with Gary and then David was incredibly responsive, proactive and helpful once we arrived. The house is beautiful and the location is ideal. It’s walkable to the town where you can find an ATM, groceries, bars, restaurants and shopping. You are also a 5-7 minute taxi to multiple gorgeous beaches. The national park is less than ten minutes away. More than anything we loved the common area which had a breathtaking view of the ocean and a constant array of animals in the trees - toucans, multiple kinds of monkeys and hummingbirds just to name a view. Definitely rent this home - you will be so thrilled that you did!

Beautiful house with a amazing views of the ocean and mountains. This was the best equipped house I have ever stayed in!! The kitchen had it all!! The house is as pictured, the bedrooms were beautiful, spacious and private. I The main living space is open to the elements, bug spray is definitely recommended but it wasn’t annoying. The house is cleaned everyday by a friendly maid, it was luxurious!! Felt as if we were in a 5 star hotel!! Recommendations—— Food: Emilio’s, breakfast and dinner was fantastic. Beach: Playitas, need a 4x4 to get down the hill, but worth it, it’s breath taking. Bring your own drinks and snacks , no vendors around Activity: ATV, so much fun also Private Boat ride, we did Catch & Relax, everyone’s favorite event of the trip!! Gracias David for your assistance when needed!!

Let me guess, you are just like me, scrolling through the endless houses in Manuel Antonio. Save the time and energy, Fernando's incredible villa is just what you need. The views are breathtaking, the rooms are professionally decorated, and the location cant be beat. Big shoutout to David, super communicative and gave us great recommendations. Will absolutely be back.

Fernando's host David was very helpful and informative during check in. Provided information on where to park and keeping it save when going to public beaches, parks, etc. Offered details and booking for spa, activities and grocery shoppings. The home is located on a steap down hill but is on a quite street with great view of the beacn, ocean and small isles off Manuel Antonio beach. Thank you for being a great host! This home and host have added to our family's fun memories.

Couldn’t recommend a better place than this. We loved every part of our trip to Quepos and honestly, this house made it for us. Our host was very responsive and helpful and overall enhanced the experience. The house was gorgeous, the pictures just don’t do it justice. It has lots of stairs, so not great for someone who has difficulty walking or climbing, but otherwise amazing! The wildlife surrounded us everywhere. We saw the most animals on our trip just from hanging at the house. Monkeys, toucans, macaws, and iguanas were everywhere. The price of the place felt too good to be true, but it was very good and very true! I give this place a 10 out of 10!

Thank you so much for the great review! Let me know when you are ready to come back to Pardise.

We had the most amazing stay here! They views are incredible and the host was so nice, helpful and responsive. I have no complaints at all! Would recommend this to anybody. We had an unforgettable time!

Amazing views and all the well decorated rooms. Definitely a spectacular place.

Vistas increibles y todas las habitaciones bien decoradas. Sin duda un lugar espectacular.

Spectacular house, very comfortable and with excellent views

Espectacular casa muy cómoda y con excelentes vistas

The house was BEAUTIFUL.  Incredible amenities and cannot beat the locations.  Hosts were very attentive and helped plan a multitude of activities.  10/10 recommend

Thank you for the kind words, so happy you enjoyed it, hope to see you back soon.

Beautiful space, very spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, and ready supply of towels, fantastic views. Responsive friendly staff. Usable pool, great views. But one cautionary note - the open air common room/dining room gets mosquitos at night and they were vicious, even with bug spray, which made it unpleasant to stay in that room, and we had to retreat early to bedrooms.

The view and location of this home are wonderful. Unfortunately we did not realize the kitchen/living/dining area was open to the elements. It was very hot for the first half of the day and the bugs were very present for the evening. Not to mention the monkeys come into the kitchen/living/dining a few times a day and will take anything off the counter and will open cabinets and break things. We travelled with a one year old and I would not recommend this house for people with small children. The railings don’t go all the way to the floor so it can potentially be dangerous. We were assigned a concierge and a host for this trip. I attempted to call the concierge with some questions, but she emailed me that she was too busy to answer and would call back the next day. She never did. Ricky was our host at the house. He had to meet us at the house when we arrived and even though we kept in touch with him on when we would be there, he seemed annoyed that we were late. Then he needed to come to the house the morning we left and he also seemed annoyed at the time we chose to leave. We were told housekeeping would come by the house every other day. Then they came two days in a row and didn’t let us know. They just let themselves into the house while we weren’t there. We had no problem with the housekeeper at all, I just couldn’t understand why they wouldn’t let us know. Our last issue was that the only tub in the house wasn’t in working order and we weren’t told until we got there. All in all we would not stay here again.

We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay with us. International travel can sometimes be difficult, mostly if traveling with little ones. I would like to point out that the open air concept of the main living area is stated twice in the description, in the first and third paragraphs, and the photos plainly show the banisters throughout the house including the main living area. I have also spoken with your concierge and she says you all exchanged many emails, she does apologize if she missed the last phone call. I also spoke with the host that received you and attended to you and he said he had great and constant communication with your partner throughout your stay. Either way, we are sorry that you had a less than perfect experience and I would love the chance to speak to you about your experience, call me whenever you have a chance.

5 star accommodations with local charm! This place is top notch. Unbeatable view, wildlife galore, wonderful staff and all the comforts you need to enjoy this magical area. Ricky was so friendly and helpful and check in/out was a breeze. The cleaning staff made us feel like we were in a hotel, even taking care of dishes and laundry so we could enjoy our vacation. We loved hanging with monkeys, toucans, macaws, lizards and butterflies daily. The sunsets were breathtaking. Beds were comfortable and AC units were kickin in the bedrooms, a nice break from the heat when we needed it. Definitely recommend! I’d love to check out some of their other properties because they’re doing it right. We’ll be back. Thank you!

Great place! The views were stellar and so were the monkeys! Would stay and will probably stay here again 🔥🦅🤟🏻

We had a wonderful time at Casa Dolce Vita.  0 complaints and we would definitely like to come back!

It is great to hear that you had such a great time! Let me know when you are ready to come back to paradise!

This place is amazing! great views, lots of room, 3 floors. monkeys, iguanas, racoon, macaws. the pool could be maintained better, but amazing place. I would definitely stay again. easy check-in.

Thank you for letting me know. We will look into why the pool was not cleaned for you and make sure this does not happen again. My sincere apologies.

Be one of the most outstanding air B and B I have ever stayed in.  Everything about it is amazing.

The home is everything and more.  The architecture, the setting, all better than the listing can describe.  Manuel Antonio and the surrounding area always felt safe and welcoming.  Not to be outdone by the beautiful accommodations are the people that help make your experience so great.  Ricky, the host on the ground, answered our messages/questions promptly and was extremely helpful with anything we needed.  He knows everybody and how everything works.  Valerie, the concierge, booked us on incredible tours and helped us move things around once we were there and had the lay of the land.  We had a private chef come in 2 nights during our stay as well and Chef Jorge and Ashley provided us with wonderful meals and equally great conversation and company.  We would do all of it again in a heartbeat.

We had such an amazing time at the Airbnb and experiencing Manuel Antonio!

The house was exactly as advertised and more. This place is amazing and I look forward to spending more time there. Manuel Antonio is one of my favorite places in the world and this house brings the jungle to you while keeping you close to the beach. We had monkeys, sloths, birds and lizards all on and around the house and property. Mina took great care of the house and us while there! The check-in process and communication through was easy and often. The whole team from the booking with Fernando, planning with Valerie, check-in with Ricky was top notch.

Thank you very much for the kind words, looking forward to having you back soon.

One of the best stays! location, super host, amazing view and home. I will return!

This place was amazing; the property manager Ricky was the best ! The monkeys came to visit and tried to steal our food but it was a part of the experience! This was such an amazing time in the treehouse, as we call it. Breathtaking views, amazing hospitality, and in close proximity to different activities. Would highly recommend staying here !

What a beautiful house in an ideal setting.  Fernando and his staff were very accommodating and so easy to work with!

This house is AMAZING! You wake up to beautiful views everyday and sometimes even get to see some local friends aka the monkeys! After a day of activities or going to out to downtown the pool is icing on the cake. Ricky and Valerie were amazing and can help you out with pretty much anything and everything. Before we got to our stay Valerie sent over all the details and helped us book our private chef. It was the best meal during our trip. Once we arrived we meet Ricky and he gave us a tour of the home and was there through the whole trip via phone if we had any questions. Thank you guys for everything and making our trip one to remember.

Ricky our host was great, we seen monkeys in our kitchen. Communication was great

Amazing place, staff and overall experience.

Amazing view and very nice house.  Chef Esteban was fantastic.  Very helpful coordinating things to do locally.

Casa Dolce Vita offer gorgeous views and plenty of space. The location was fantastic! Would highly recommend!

Great tree house inspired house for big groups. Amazing views!

The place is super nice! An incredible view. Fernando and Ricky's availability 100%

El lugar es súper bonito! Una vista increíble. La disponibilidad de Fernando y Ricky 100%

It is a beautiful house with many cozy details.

It was great to accommodate your family. Thank you for choosing Escape Villas. Best Regards Indra Levy

It’s an amazing house with literally breathtaking views ! I totally invite you to stay here :)

Thank you for your feedback, and we hope you return in the future!

Fabulous space with great views!  We enjoyed spending time in the shared spaces.  It wasn't a problem for us, but there are quite a few stairs which we knew ahead of time.  We didn't have a car which wasn't a problem since there were restaurants and stores within walking distance (uphill somewhat).   Mina came every day to clean and did a very nice job.  Chef Marcos prepared a great dinner for the seven of us.  We had enough food for two meals.  The mahi mahi was some of the best we've had!

Villa Dolce Vita is a great location to explore the Manuel Antonio area from.  The villa itself is charming with four well appointed bedrooms and very nice common areas.  The view is simply stunning!   Hanging out at the pool during the day and playing board games in the raised level dining area was appreciated by our group of eight.  Walking to the beach may be too strenuous for some, but we enjoyed it.   You can always take the bus back!  It's easy and very inexpensive.  The villa has a maid onsite during the day to attend to cleaning, laundry, and generally ensuring you have what you need.  Highly recommend having a private chef come in to cook a meal or two!  There's no better view of Manuel Antonio than the one from the villa itself!

Beautiful house and location! The house was absolutely spotless and felt so private. Really a great location!

Such an amazing home! Fantastic outdoor and communal areas, and plenty of room for privacy as well. Sitting outside the master we had a great view of the capuchins coming and going, toucans, parrots, macaws, and all other sorts of jungle life. One afternoon we had front row seats to an entire troop of howlers moving their way through the neighborhood! I would rent this place again in a heartbeat!

This house is absolutely amazing! We had a fantastic week there. The views are amazing. The concierge was so helpful with setting up transportation and tours and answering all of our questions. The daily visits from the local monkeys was an entertaining a plus. I can’t wait to make plans for a return visit!

Where to start! The house was stunning and truly throws you into the rainforest vibe. My friends and I loved how the living area is open to the outside. Our host, Ricky was amazing and extremely helpful with anything we needed. Will definitely be recommending this house to friends when they visit Costa Rica.

A FANTASTIC PLACE THAT WE ALL FELL IN LOVE WITH. A PARADISE AND PERFECT LOCATION IN MANUEL ANTONIO. WE’LL BE BACK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.  SUPER GOOD SERVICE ALL WAY THROUGH. 5 STAR!!!!

The views from this house are amazing. Great location. So much wildlife is seen without even leaving the house. Very spacious & expect to do a good amount of stair climbing, but it’s worth it.

Absolutely stunning villa. I never wanted to leave. We had such a great time and Ricky was a great host. We would love to stay here again.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Let us know when you are ready to come back and see us.

This Villa was so unique and beautiful! We all enjoyed every second there.... The Maid Mina was so kind and sweet, she made sure everything was extra clean, always smiling! All rooms are great, no better view around this area unless from main restaurants. Decor, pool, garden and details were like a magazine. Can’t wait to be back!

Monkeys galore on this trip and a great view

The great pictures of this gorgeous home simply do not do it justice when you see it in person!  It’s absolutely stunning and allows you to truly get the Costa Rica feel!  Ricky was so wonderful giving us really helpful tips about the home and the local activities.  And if you stay here you MUST MUST book Junior the chef at least a few days.  It’s a five-star restaurant experience right there in your home!   Not to mention Junior and David are so engaging to visit with as they are preparing and cooking your meal.   A couple of tips if your a coffee drinker show up with your own coffee, if you forget, a really great grocery store that opens up at 7 AM is just up the hill and to the right a very quick walk just past azule (great restaurant) .  Also do not leave anything out for the monkeys the steal in the living area or kitchen.  Trust me they ran off with my plantains!  Small price to pay for the entertainment!  I would highly recommend this home to anyone!

OUTSTANDING VILLA!  Gorgeous home with high end finishes, beautifully curated.  Comfortable, View to die for!  Pool is the icing on the cake.  Caretaker Ricky is on the job for anything you need.   Just DO NOT leave anything (I mean anything) out in the living room. Cutest monkey banditos will grab it.  They came in and one had my little bag with my passport and another was taking my shawl.  Luckily, they dropped them and hit the trees.  I could not have been more happy.  Bring your own shampoos, though.

Casa Dolce Vita was even better than I could have ever imagined ! From my first initial correspondence, Fernando was wonderful and extremely quick to reply. Our concierge, Valerie, was extremely helpful and the host, Ricky, went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. Pictures do the house no justice- the house is gorgeous and immaculate ! The pool is absolutely amazing, and the monkey visit around 2 pm was so fun to watch! Would rent again in a heart beat and hope to be back very soon.

Great house, big rooms, very clean, privacy and a wounderful view

It’s a great open air living space. The monkeys came and went twice a day which was our highlight. It’s clean and comfy with comfortable beds. Air con in rooms is nice. Ricky goes above board to help out. Interesting and great guy. I’d go back in a minute. It’s not close to the beach but a 20 minute walk is great exercise. And you see so many birds. Toucans, parrots, different kinds of monkeys, we had a troop of squirrel monkeys visit the last day.

Hello, Erika, we are so happy you and your group was able to enjoy your time at the Casa Dolce Vita. It is great Ricky was able to take care of your needs. Thank you for the great review we are very appreciative and hope you can come back in the future. Thank you from everyone at Escape Villas Costa Rica.

Gorgeous views! And great location of Manuel Antonio..was able to do ziplining, visit Manuel Antonio park and all the beaches very easily..only thing was all the mosquitoes at night but other than that amazing place! Ricky was readily available when we had questions!

Hello Maggie, glad you had an awesome vacation in Manuel Antonio, and very happy to hear you enjoyed staying at the Casa Dolce Vita. We look forward to future visits from you and your group. If you ever feel the need for another vacation, just give us a call we can arrange things no problem.   Thank you from all of our team at Escape Villas Costa Rica. Pura Vida

The house is amazing!!! The house is even better than the pictures and I would definitely recommend it. Everything was great and I would definitely return in the future.

Hello Francisca, we are very happy you and your group were able to enjoy your vacation at the Casa Dolce Vita! Thank you for the wonderful review we always appreciate any good word our valued guests have to say.  All the best from all of us here at Escape Villas Costa Rica!

Better than expected! Great view and very responsive host!

Hello Michael its great to hear you and your group had a good trip we hope you fully enjoyed your stay at  the Casa Dulce Vita. All the best from all of us at Escape Villas Costa Rica.

A spectacular stay, with a beautiful view. House has a nice family atmosphere and relaxing. I will be visiting again on my next Costa Rica vacation.

Un hospedaje espectacular, con una vista preciosa. La casa tiene un agradable ambiente familiar y relajante. Volveré a visitarla en mis próximas vacaciones en Costa Rica.

Staying at dolce vita was an amazing experience and far exceeded our expectations. The monkeys came every morning which was an experience in itself we will never forget. Great view and location. Ricky was very helpful and Stephan was an amazing chef.

Excellent our 2 families thoroughly enjoyed it!!

My family and I just returned from a week at Casa Dolce Vita and we had a great time! The house had plenty of room for our family of nine. The open air concept living room was enjoyed every morning and evening and we still long for the gorgeous views! The monkey show every morning was very enjoyable, especially for the kids. Valerie arranged an awesome waterfall and zip lining tour and was always available when planning our trip. Big thanks to Rickey in Costa Rica for being there when we needed him. I would highly recommend chef Javier!! We enjoyed his amazing meals for two of the nights in the home and cannot say enough about his culinary genius. We would return. 

The house is beautiful and very well located, with all the amenities. They do the cleaning every day. The only problem is that since the living/dining room is open every day, the monkeys arrive and leave the mess. He's friendly at first, but not so nice at the end.

La casa es preciosa y está muy bien ubicada, con todas las comodidades. Hacen el aseo todos los días. El único problema es que como el living comedor es abierto todos los días llegan los monos y dejan el desorden. Al principio es simpático pero al final no tanto.

Que bueno que disfrutate la casa. Disculpa el problemita de comunicacion al llegar a Costa Rica. Siempre es mejor coordinar todo antes de salir de viaje y usar los servicios de nuestro equipo local de Escape Villas con transportes y mucho mas.

The house has gorgeous views and Valerie helped arrange the perfect schedule for us. Just make sure you save time to relax and enjoy the house. The monkeys were entertaining as well. We will be returning!

Great place to stay.  Exactly as "advertised".  Beautiful view, the pool is amazing and the rooms are great.  The lounge area upstairs is a lot of fun and the kitchen has everything you need to make a great meal!

Our stay could not have been better. Fernando and Valerie were very helpful. This house is fantastic. The views...amazing. The monkeys were entertaining. Can’t wait to return to Costa Rica soon.

So glad you have a great time, see you soon!!!

Our stay at Casa Dolce Vita was incredible. Such a great location. Stunning views. Great service. Thanks Fernando and team!

What a house..it was all we could wish for. Nice and clean, amazing views...we didn't want to go home..all you need is right there, fully equiped kitchen, beautiful bathrooms and bedrooms..great support by Ricky if you need anything. Thank you for your hospitality and we will absolutely come back to this amazing place.

Our 3 day stay at Casa Dolce Vita was excellent. We loved the design and furniture of the house and the fact that it has all the comforts; it is very well equipped, has an incredible view, very spacious spaces, easy access, security and the daily cleaning service provided by a very friendly person who always helped us with a smile and excellent attitude. Fernando was very kind to our queries before and during the booking process. Also greatly thank Ricky who welcomed us kindly at the house and waited for our late night arrival due to an unforeseen event, he was always attentive that nothing was missing and said goodbye to us immediately leaving. We had a very nice time and hope to be back soon.

Nuestra estadía de 3 días en Casa Dolce Vita fue excelente. Nos encanto el diseño y mobiliario de la casa y el hecho de que cuenta con todas las comodidades; esta muy bien equipada, tiene una increíble vista, espacios muy amplios, fácil acceso, seguridad y el servicio diario de limpieza brindado por una persona muy amable que siempre nos atendió con una sonrisa y excelente actitud. Fernando fue muy amable con nuestras consultas antes y durante el proceso de reservar. También agradecer enormemente a Ricky que nos recibió amablemente en la casa y espero a nuestra llegada tarde en la noche debido a un imprevisto, siempre estuvo atento a que no faltara nada y nos despidió al momento salir. Pasamos unos días muy bonitos y esperamos volver pronto.

Fancy location. Breathtaking views. The host Ricky is a Rockstar that is there to make your stay better 24/7. Thank you.

I do not recommend it. There is a construction site next to the house. Noise from 7 am to 5 pm.

Не рекомендую. Рядом с домом идет стройка. Шум с семи утра до пяти вечера.

House was super fun, open air living spaces were excellent..  they warn you about monkeys.....  didn't really expect what we got..  super cool even when the monkey's raided the kitchen and ran off with fruit and sugar! 

Our stay at Casa Dulce Vita was wonderful! The house truly lives up to the pictures and the views are even better. Fernando was quick to reply to messages and our host, Ricky, ensured we were well taken care of. The house has everything you need and is a close drive to the supermarket, beach, and park. Each bedroom & bathroom is beautiful and the open-air living area provides great entertainment when the monkeys visit twice a day!

The house is outstanding and the pictures don't really do justice to the amazing views and tucked away location. Our children spent hours by the pool in-between the numerous nearby activities. The hospitality here is first rate and starts directly after booking. We received lots of instruction and planning help prior to arriving and this attention to detail made our trip and seem effortless. Thank you! 

A group of ten of us stayed at Casa Dolce Vita in Manuel Antonio for our Spring Break vacation. We couldn't have been happier with our choice to stay here! First off, the house is gorgeous and every room is so beautifully designed/furnished. Second, walking up the stairs to the main floor, you see a stunning view of the ocean and lush greenery surrounding you. Thirdly, the private pool is wonderful for day and night swimming, perfect for pictures, and receives a lot of sun for sunbathing. And finally, the house is situated in a location close to everything you need, such as groceries, restaurants, the beach, bus stop, and much more. Only negative we had was the bugs at nighttime due to the humidity and openness to the outdoors. Overall, our experience at Casa Dolce Vita was more than we could ask for!

Wonderful stay at Casa Dolce Vita. Everything as described and pictured.  This is a truly unique home with fantastic ocean (and monkey) views. Four story accommodations allowed for lots of privacy for our family with a well equipped bedroom/bathroom on each floor.  Kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans and utensils.  Its down a steep driveway which makes walking a little more effort but I think that is the normal for the area.  Taxis were easy to get for going to the beach etc.  Monkeys will enter and get after food or other things you leave out unattended as the third floor is open air but its kind of part of the experience and charm. Maid service daily is a big bonus! 

The entire Escape Villas team thanks you for the wonderful review. Dolce Vita is a truly unique home in a truly unique place. Our staff is committed to making the experience a very special one. We invite you back anytime!

Everyone was very kind, the house is better in person than in photos, we will definitely return. Our Host was always very attentive and kind.  Totally recommended!

Todos fueron muy amables, la casa esta mejor en persona que en fotos, sin duda alguna regresariamos. Nuestro Host siempre fue muy atento y amable.  Totalmente recomendado!

Six of us stayed in this amazing house. Just breathtaking, the pictures are 100% accurate and in person even better. The views alone are to die for and the rooms are detailed to perfection. The concierge was great and communicative. They helped us with transportation, food, and really made sure we felt welcome.  We enjoyed every aspect of staying in this paradise home and will most definitely return in the future!

This place is amazing and Ricky took such good care of us - we will definitely be back!  The bedrooms are each closed off with their own thermostat control which is really nice! The entire kitchen/living area is open concept as you can see from the pictures which makes it so relaxing and fun to just hang out at the house. The maid who came everyday did an awesome job and made our lives so easy!
