Las Catalinas-Casa Chameleon's neighbor perfect for large groups, amazing views
This newly completed jewel on the Las Catalinas hillside is a multi-level villa surrounded by tropical gardens, ocean views and amazing sunsets and right next to Casa Chameleon Hotel. (This listing is for the entire villa; main house and casita. There are separate listings for the main house and casita on this website.) Villa Sympatheia was designed for large groups and families in mind with accommodations for up to 15 guests. Its private infinity edge pool, outdoor dining and bocce ball court will keep everyone entertained. If the regrettable work call must be made, the library is equipped with high speed internet. This amazing home also offers many quiet balconies to relax and listen to nature. Throughout the home comfortable custom-made furnishings pair with elegant white walls, beamed ceilings and touches of blue and green tile to give this architecturally beautiful home its airy beach feeling.
Villa Sympatheia is distributed over five levels that include a rooftop sun-deck, pool and dining terrace, kitchen, butlers pantry, living room, indoor dining, media room, library, four bedrooms, five bathrooms, two powder rooms and two laundry rooms. Plus, an additional one bedroom/one bathroom private “casita” connected to the main house by a charming bridge. It is complete with kitchenette, king bed, full bath, television and its own covered outdoor dining, grill, seating area and hanging chairs.
On the open-concept top floor of the main house there is a fully equipped chef’s kitchen with GE Monogram appliances and a large island with seating for five. Tucked around the corner of the kitchen is the butler’s pantry (or half kitchen) with its own sink, dishwasher and ice maker; perfect for party preparations. The living room has a comfortable sofa and chair for long talks, cocktails or afternoon naps. The breakfast nook has a table with seating for six in an L-shaped banquette surrounded by windows on two sides. It is also a great spot for dinner and game night.
The master level has a library, laundry room, full bath and the master bedroom suite. The library offers a quiet work space and a queen size pull out sofa. Across the hall from the library is a bathroom with shower.
The master suite may tempt you to stay in bed all day. The king size bed with luxurious linens and mattress will seem like a dream when you wake to the ocean view. Enjoy the private outdoor soaking tub and shower just off of the bedroom. The en suite also has double sinks, a rain shower room with beautiful Kohler fixtures and a toilet with bidet seat. Don ’t want to run into guests before morning coffee? Just take the private spiral staircase up to the butler’s pantry to grab a cup before greeting everyone.
The media level offers plush sectional sofas to watch the game or movie on the 110 inch screen from the short-throw smart projector. The junior master bedroom off of the media room has its own en suite and king bed. This floor also offers the bunk room that can sleep six; two queen size beds with two twin over top. It also has a full bathroom with double sinks. This level is connected by an expansive terrace that offers two hanging beds, bar and seating areas.

We had an absolutely amazing time! Our Spring Break plans got derailed by the Kona Winds in Hawaii and we made a last minute pivot to Costa Rica. It was a great decision!Susanne, the owner, and all of the staff, Diego, Nani and Diana, were so helpful. The town is charming with great food and views and the travel day was really easy from DFW. 10/10 would recommend! It was awesome!
We stayed here with 7 people for a 40th birthday party. The house was amazing and even better than the photos suggest. The assistance from Paola and Diego was fantastic and Margil was an amazing cook. Would 1000% recommend and will revisit.
6 moms...6 girls...senior spring break was made exceptional by the accommodations of Villa Sympatheia! The property is not only lovely with amazing views and sunsets, there is plenty of space for everyone to find a corner to read a book or work a puzzle, bask in the sun by the pool, enjoy coffee alone on a porch or almost anything else you like! The staff is amazing to boot! Will definitely return to Las Catalinas! Thank you!

We celebrated a 40th birthday at Villa Sympathia with our closest friends (11 in total) and it was a wonderful experience! Most of us had not been to Costa Rica before and now we cannot wait to return! The house is the most beautiful property we have ever visited. We couldn’t believe the level of detail throughout. Each couple was not only able to have their own room but also their own living space if they wanted. It is truly the perfect group house! The house does have lots of stairs so I would agree with the listing description it is not the best choice if anyone in your group has mobility issues. However the stairs lend themselves to experiencing the most incredible views! We are actively looking for reasons to return to this property and the town of Las Catalinas. The ride from Liberia airport is about an hour-definitely have water and a snack on hand if traveling in a big van. We hired airport transportation and were very glad we did instead of renting a car. Also, we would highly recommend the Rio Perdido excursion, Guanacaste Ched4U in-house chefs, Manta Ray sailing, Sentido Norte and La Forketta! Tip: La Forketta (pizza, pasta) will deliver to Las Catalinas after 5PM. It was cash only when we were there!
Hello! My husband and I are Midwesterners and built our beautiful Costa Rica home in hopes of one day being snow-birds. Until that day, we hope to share it with other families that can fill the villa with wonderful memories! Because we can't be there to help you with your stay. We have a dedicated housekeeper and concierge that are from the area and are onsite. Their expertise and kindness will be the icing on the cake of your vacation. You'll leave feeling like you now have friends in Costa Rica.
Why they chose this property
We chose Las Catalinas to build our home because of it's focus on health and community. The car free town allow children to roam free and explore.
What makes this property unique
When we were designing the home I wanted it to feel like a deep breath and release. When you see the view for the first time it is breathtaking!
