selected as "world's best climate" by National Geographic.
Dave, native Houstonian and retired Financial Consultant and Geni, native Tica and Professional Artist, live on-site for most of the year. They love hosting guests from around the world and take great pleasure in being incredibly accomodating and flexible.
In short, they are amazing hosts, they love people and love making people feel at home by always going the extra mile.
Villa Rica Guest House has 3 bedrooms, with an attached 2, three baths, three patios and access to a private park and a country club. By staying at the Villa Rica Guest House, you will have complete immersion into the real life of the Costa Rican community, our beautiful tourist attractions throughout the country, the culture, the food and the feel of "Pura Vida" in the air.
Villa Rica Guest House is a perfect accommodation for a family trip or a group of 2 to 10. It is in a great, CENTRALIZED location that is only 10 minutes from the International Airport, 45 minutes from Poas Volcano, and an hour from Jaco Beach. This central location makes it a comfortable "home-base" location from which to launch enjoyable and interesting day trips to lovely National Biological Reserves, spectacular waterfalls, whitewater rafting excursions, the local Zoo AVE, the Butterly Gardens (next to Volcano Poas), coffee plantations, gorgeous Pacific beaches, beautiful Lake Arenal and the exciting live Volcano Arenal and much, much more depending on your interests!
You not only get a comfortable home setting from which to launch your day/weekend trips, but we also offer free consultations on your daily or weekend trips, the option of a Licensed Tour Guide in your preferred language, assist you with Rental Cars (15% discounted rates to our guests), Spanish Language Classes (private and semi-private), offer Volunteer Opportunities, Typical Cooking Classes and or Cooking and Cleaning Services. These are just some of the things that set us apart from other rental properties. Also, if you have an interest in learning about jewelry-making, Geni uses her artistic ability and training to create lovely custom jewelry utilizing semiprecious stones and silver. Her creations are marketed in five star hotels throughout Costa Rica...AND she teaches our interested guests at no charge!
Also, some of our guests come and stay in our beautiful setting
while they enjoy the expertise of local doctors and dentists
at great rates. From dental implants to skilled cosmetic surgery, you can save a ton of money and enjoy a wonderful relaxed vacation.
So, get away from the commercialism and over-priced resorts and come discover who the Ticos really are and how we live as you plan your trips across our little, lush, green paradise....
