Casa Floratica is nestled on the Pacific hilltop and canopy jungle of Manuel Antonio. Enjoy the privacy and security that only a gated home in the jungle can provide. Casa Floratica was built in 2006. It has all the modern conveniences of your own personal home, with the addition of exquisite details, private pool, beautiful eight foot tall teak wood doors, custom cabinetry, teak tongue and groove ceilings, and concrete drive. The flora and fauna unique here, magically transforms as you make your way along the Pacific Coast through the mountains and jungles to your private retreat.
The main home offers two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, kitchen, living, and dining room. It sleeps a maximum of five persons. There is an optional guest apartment on the second floor, with private bath, available to sleep two additional persons. The views and sounds of the jungle are present from every room. The lush tropical foliage surrounding Casa Floratica is spectacular, abounding with color and richness. Enjoy fresh papayas, mangos, bananas and plantains right from the jungle. Monkeys, butterflies, hummingbirds, sloughs, iguanas, and other wildlife are plentiful.
The owner has spared no expense in decorating detail. The master bedroom has a hand carved, high quality mattress bed, air conditioning, ceiling fan, and en-suite full bathroom. The second bedroom offers two twin beds, a double size Costa Rican Murphy bed, air conditioning, ceiling fan, and en-suite full bath. There is a laundry area with a full size washer and dryer.
The kitchen has all you need to prepare a gourmet meal. Poolside there is an outdoor grill for your BBQ pleasure. Two full service grocery stores are within walking distance of the home, providing you with easy access to groceries, meats, liquor, or anything you may need, along with a pharmacy and bank.
The living/dining room area boasts a grand Natuzzi leather sectional, one-of-a kind hand carved tables, large 60” screen satellite TV, DVD player, and a 30 foot wall of sliding glass doors overlooking the pool and jungle as well as Cuban artwork throughout. Of course the home is equipped with telephone and wireless internet so you can stay in touch as needed.
The pool deck is spacious with an area for sunbathing. The canopy of the jungle and secluded area of this home provides sunbathing and swimming privacy. Cool off in your private pool on those tropical days and nights.
The guest apartment sleeps an additional two persons and again no expense has been spared. You will be captivated by the elevated views of the jungle and wildlife combined with art work from the streets of Habana, Cuba. The master bedroom has a hand carved, high quality mattress bed. The en-suite bathroom is a masterpiece. Bathe in the large, tiled soaking tub while looking out into the rainforest, or in the open concept shower. A partial kitchen provides you with a fridge, microwave and sink. Air conditioning and ceiling fans are built in to keep you cool and comfortable. Open the wall of sliding glass and enter the rainforest into your tropical outdoor living room. Here you’ll find an elegant custom made wood and slate pool table for your playing enjoyment, a large leather Natuzzi sectional with Tico leather rocking chairs for relaxing and taking an afternoon cafe'.
