Remote Wonderful Villa
This Villa is truly spectacular, sitting up close to the top of a mountain with a view of a Pacific bay. The house is very well equipped with everything you could need. The house is completely private and in the middle of a mountain jungle with an amazing number of beautiful birds visiting daily. The house was clean and very comfortable, and cleaning services were excellent. The pool is great and with Costa Rica's wonderful climate you can swim early morning to late at night. The outdoor BBK area is good, but could use a beer fridge out there. We found the directions confusing and had some problem actually finding the house, but were impressed when we did locate it. Your Phone cannot get you here; you will need a GPS. The villa is seriously remote and the drive up the mountain and especially down to the house itself is not for the faint of heart - A good 4X4 is ESSENTIAL! As well it is a 30 minute drive down a dirt mountain road to any real stores. I like driving and am used to 4X4 driving so I enjoyed it, but it is not an easy drive. We had water problems (But I do not thing tis is common), and we had occasional power outages which were quickly fixed. I found it odd that there was no actual dining area in the house itself; there are chairs around the kitchen island but no overhang so it is not comfortable. We ate most of the time outside at the Gazebo Bar area. We were here by ourselves for two weeks and with family for two more and even with six people the house is comfortable. Although it is often over 30C down the mountain, it was 25C up at the villa, so we never had to use AC at all. We were here for the warm weather and for a family Christmas and completely enjoyed the villa. I liked the remoteness and lack of Cell service or Internet (You can get an ICE cell service, but do not expect to use other Costa Rica providers here, and there was NO internet at all) I did not mind driving every few days to Jaco and just checked e-mail down there. I was here to relax with family in the lovely Costa Rica weather, so I can recommend this spot.
