About this property

Luxury Oceanfront Tuscan Villa with Chef, Housekeeping and Concierge Services

Villa Amore is a beautiful, Tuscan-style, luxury villa with direct elevated, breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean.

Villa Amore features 4 spacious guest suites. The primary guest suite on the main floor provides a king bed, large walk-in closet with safe and a full 4-piece en suite bathroom with a double-sink vanity and a bidet. The remaining 3 guest suites, located on the upper level, each provide a queen bed and a daybed which convert to (2) twin/single beds, accommodating up to 4 guests per guest suite. Each guest suite offers a full 3-piece en suite bathroom and walk-in closet with a safe.
Full-time chef services are offered and included in your luxury rental. This includes breakfast and dinner preparation, serving, and clean-up (Monday-Saturday). Guests are required to purchase their own groceries, ingredients and beverages. Or, if you prefer, our caretakers will be happy to provide shopping service for a nominal fee.

Guests can enjoy a spacious, custom-designed chef’s kitchen. It is fully equipped with an expansive refrigerator and freezer with ice-maker, professional Italian cooktop range and oven, wine cooler fridge, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, toaster oven, coffee & espresso maker, blender, and all the necessary cooking and baking utensils. Just off the kitchen is an oversized outdoor terrace, featuring a BBQ grilling area with sink and an extendable dining table, allowing you to enjoy the natural beauty encompassing the entire villa and ocean view, surrounded by lush tropical gardens.

Just minutes from the villa, brings you to a couple small, natural beaches. These beaches may too rugged for swimming but they are an amazing place to spread out a towel and relax, collect shells, and take in the surrounding serene beauty. When the tide is low, you can hike along the lava rock and swim or snorkel with the tropical fish in the shallow tidal pools.

Villa Amore is only a 5 minute drive from beautiful Playa Carrillo. In March 2013, Travel and Leisure Magazine featured it in the Top 25 secret beaches in the world. The magazine describes it as a white-sand beach framed by mountains and just off a boulevard lined by palm trees. It is safe to swim, surf or just lounge under the palm trees and maybe grab a fresh coconut water or a flavored shaved ice from one of the local vendors . It is perfect for an early morning walk along this 2 km beach and top if off with a relaxing massage from a local beach vendor or you can enjoy a beautiful sunset at the end of the day. The beach is protected by rocky headlands and provides calm, warm water for all swimmers.

Villa Amore is located in the province of Guanacaste, one of the five Blue Zones of the world, and is approximately two hours from Liberia International Airport (LIR) and is approximately four hours from San Jose International Airport (SJO).

Beautiful home
We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation. The house was immaculate and had everything we needed. Alex and Jennifer were amazing. We enjoyed all the meals they cooked and eating on the patio was such a treat. The location was wonderful too. I felt like all my research had paid off when a local resident asked us in surprised how we found Playa Carrillo. It is the most beautiful beach. We felt very fortunate to have been able to experience the culture, food and beaches all in one trip. Can’t wait to return!

Beautiful home w/ breathtaking views!
The check-in process was easy. Alex was anticipating our arrival and was ready to greet us as we stepped out of the car. Alex and Jenny are fantastic concierges. They made recommendations for activities, did some of our grocery shopping, and prepared breakfast and dinner upon our request. It was a welcomed treat to have them do some of the cooking and clean up afterwards. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Keep in mind that the only enclosed areas of the home are the bedrooms so the shared living spaces and kitchen are open to nature and do not have air cond. This was not an issue for us as it was easy to cool off in the gorgeous infinity pool that overlooks the Pacific! I would like to point out that the dishwasher did not work so we did need to hand wash dishes. It did not wash or rinse dishes properly. The location was convenient to Carrillo and Samara. There is a small grocery store about five minutes down the road that we found most of our food supplies. For more options, there is a larger grocery store (Pali) in Samara. Nature is abound! We saw spider monkeys near the house and many colorful birds. There are fruit trees next to the house that would be lovely during the wetter seasons. We visited during the dry season so there was not yet fruit on the trees. We enjoyed zip lining, chartering a private boat, and simply relaxing around the house. Overall, the home felt like a Costa Rican gem! Thank you for hosting us! Pura Vida!

Lovely Visit in Costa Rica
Amazing first trip to Costa Rica. The pool was great for the kids (some pool toys/floats were available to use). Lots of wildlife on the property/nearby (we went tidepooling a couple of times, saw humpback whales, monkeys, lots of birds). The property was very clean and looked like the pictures. We did not rent a car, but almost all excursions would pick us up. We loved Alex & Jenny!

Vacation
Our experience was superior to all other of our VRBO stays. The hosts, Alex and Jenny, were especially helpful. Every meal they made for us was better than any meal we could get in the restaurants. We will try to stay here every time we come back to Costa Rica.

The villa is conveniently located near many organized activities and excursions, such as whale watching, wildlife viewing, zip-lining in the rain forest, horseback riding, deep sea fishing, kayaking and many more tropical activities. Also, depending the season, you can experience the magnificent sight of leatherback or olive ridley turtles nesting or hatching.

What makes this property unique

Staying at the villa feels like your very own tropical paradise, offering privacy amongst other neighboring villas in the quiet neighborhood. Take a stroll throughout the beautiful neighborhood and discover natural beach areas to hike and view sunsets or swim with the tropical fish in the tide pools when the tide is low.
