Tropical Villa with Pool and Spectacular Views - Villas Casa Loma: Villa 3

Can’t beat the views..and conveniently located..! Only wish owner would provide more sheets, and towels, per person staying, we were there five days and only got one towel per person, and had no way of doing laundry and a very thin sheet

This Villa is wonderful, spacious inside with a large deck over looking beautiful Playa Flamingo. The furnishings, styled in Costa Rican fashion, were very comfortable and had all the features of home. The deck was large and perfect to enjoy the morning birds and stunning sunsets. The villa has access to 2 pools and the gradens are beautiful to walk through. I am looking forward to coming back again.

Wow! Thanks, Igor and Tom. We just had the family outing of a lifetime at Villas Casa Loma. From the moment we arrived and saw the gorgeous stone villa with massive mullioned windows, red tile roof and huge open spaces we knew that we had arrived in Paradise! Our villa consisted of a huge, sun-flooded living room opening off of a massive covered terrace overlooking the marina area and community of Flamingo. A large, fully equipped kitchen was separated by a spacious breakfast bar/dining area. Adjacent was an enormous bedroom with Romeo and Juliet balcony - also overlooking the Pacific Ocean! A large, tiled bathroom was adjacent to the living room and bedroom. A winding stone clad staircase led from the terrace down to another bedroom with separate bathroom on the lower level of this villa. This was absolutely perfect for my family consisting of 2 teen girls and myself and my husband. Aside from comfortable, spacious accommodations we were impressed by the quality of the design of the entire property. A large swimming pool set in oasis-like gardens was just a few short steps away. Tropical birds and howler monkeys were frequently in evidence. Whale spotting was a favorite activity during our stay. There is an excellent infrastructure in the immediate area, including: World class restaurants, medical services, hospitals, well supplied clinics and pharmacies, bilingual tour agencies offering sea and land activities, beaches with special qualities unique to each of them, zip line tours, sailing, fishing, horseback trail riding... Much to do for an active family! There is ample secure parking on the property and a rental vehicle is definitely a plus if you are wanting to get out and about in this fascinating land! A wonderful, memorable vacation! Matia Noel

Our first trip to CR was amazing! And Casa Loma is definitely a place we will return to. Tom and Igor were so wonderful - even helping us celebrate my birthday with other guests and champagne! We chose Casa Loma because of the views and it was totally worth it - the best sunset view in all of CR was right on our balcony! Thanks for everything! See you next year (hopefully!)

We have visited Villas Casa Loma two years in a row and have already booked our vacation for 2015. The resort itself is beautiful, serene and very relaxing. Tom & Igor are wonderful hosts and work hard to ensure you have everything you need. You can do as little or as much as you want while there, there are lots of options. You'll need a car for all of your excursions and touring as most are too far to walk. There is an excellent local grocery you can walk to (up and down the mountain) if you are in good shape, beach Sodas (restaurants), Flamingo beach (shopping & beach), a fruit market, fish monger & butcher (not like our own.... remember you are in Costa Rica!) all fairly close for daily shopping. Unfortunately the BBQ was not working, but I believe a new one had just been delivered. We cabbed out in the evenings and they are very accommodating and very friendly - some of the cars were not in the best shape, but we managed quite well. VCL staff are very friendly and keep the grounds, pools and property in excellent condition. Overall a wonderful vacation! We look forward to going back in 2015 for a little piece of vacation heaven!

Our two families visited Casa Loma this last winter and had a blast!!! The accommodations are great with plenty of room, good supplies in kitchens, clean and wonderful. The view is just incredible as you are up on a hill and can sit in the ocean breeze and watch the boats bobbing in the blue ocean bay. The grounds are kept immaculate and you can enjoy the colorful plants and flowers while luxuriating in the cool, refreshing pool. As hosts Tom and Igor can not be beat. They are there to check you in and from tree on can help you as much or as little as you desire. They gave us great tips on tasty restaurants and fun things to do! They recommended a zip line place that had short runs and newly installed long ones almost a mile long!!!! Fun! :) The fish tacos they recommended while drinking a cold Imperial right on the beach was memorable while we watched the sunset. There was also a new coffee shop at the bottom of the hill where we could get a latte and homemade pastry. When it was time to leave the nine of us were tearful as we had so much fun, made friends and really enjoyed the conversation and time spent with our hosts. Plans are already underway to go back later this year and experience Shangri La one more time!!!!
