If you're looking for the perfect vacation spot for both adventure and relaxation . . . . look no further. Villas Casa Loma is IT. Tom and Igor are the perfect hosts. The grounds are beautiful. Restaurants very convenient. Our college-age kids had a blast and their old-fart parents loved the pool and beaches. Watch out for the local police though - it costs fifty bucks U.S. dollars to make a speeding ticket go away - oh well - it makes a good vacation story. Book your trip and you won't be sorry!!

Igor is a good man, and runs an excellent property

We really enjoyed our stay. The property has I think five structures, all quite unique, with high quality construction, on a mountainside. Located five minutes from the beach, a large marina, and many restaurants. We were there for a month, and tried many of the restaurants, and we were never disappointed, not once. Good food, good service, and always with tables outdoors. The local people are just as nice and friendly as can be. While we were there several previous guests showed up for repeat visits. Great views. Playa Flamingo and Playa Conchal are excellent beaches. I love the laissez - faire attitudes in Costa Rica. The country has no military, and the culture is live and let live. Pura Vida!

Costa Rica Above the Beach

The property owner Tom was fantastic.... very accommodating. He let us play in the swimming pool until well past midnight. He brought in separate beds into Villa 1 for our little kids. Fans and AC worked great. The views from Villa 1 were excellent! Directions were good..... it's about 45 minutes from Liberia airport. The only minuses were the ants in the kitchen (but they seem to frequent every kitchen in Costa Rica), even at huge gold star resorts. It would have been nice if Visa was accepted too. Overall, I highly recommend it!

Our 2 1/2 months at Villas Casa Loma Costa Rica

Villas Casa Loma is like our home away from home and owners Tom and Igor are very special friends. We have visited Villas Casa Loma the last 4 years and we could not imagine to not return in 2013. Our accomadations are very spacious with beautiful large decks overlooking Flamingo beach the Bay the Pacific Ocean and gorgious sunsets. All of our furnitures were redone from last year and we also had new outdoor furniture. We loved it. We would absolutely recommend Villas Casa Loma and our children are all wanting to visit " our place of paradise". We both very much enjoy birding which is all over Costa Rica and of course also right at Villas Casa Loma. We always rent a car as we feel very confident in travelling around the country.Flamingo Beach as well as surrounding communities have wonderful restaurants with lots of fresh seafood but also good meat dishes. Thank you again for a great time Tom and Igor!!!

Catherine and family, Canada

I stayed at VCL for over a month recently for the purpose of Spanish study and also a family Christmas holiday. The hired staff are extremely friendly and helpful at all times, they work very hard maintaining the lovely property. The suites I saw seemed to be well furnished etc. One really does need a car if staying here due to the location. Rent this property with caution however. To my knowledge none of the suites have phones. Neither is internet readily available or reliable in most of the suites, instead requiring one to hike up or down the hill to the pool areas with laptop. This difficulty is at best inconvenient, however in my case, extremely problematic as I needed my computer for both communication purposes and school work. Compounding this, the owners made a decision to do a 2 week overhaul of one pool during my ( high season rate) stay while most suites were vacant. Briefly, the resulting noise, mess and many labourers often made it impossible for me to use my computer except at night perching on the grass in the company of work dust and mosquitos. At times the loud music played by the workers, yelling of instructions etc. was just too much, even allowing for it being Central America. My enquires about a potential end date was met with a statement that the owners reserved the right to do regular property maintenance as they saw fit. I would suggest it might have been more appropriate in low season. As it became busier toward the holiday season, the owners wanted to remove 2 beds from my suite to redistribute due to overbooking, many of the guests being family rather than paying clients. The expectation was that my grown and very tall sons sleep together on a small futon in the living room. I had booked and prepaid for this villa based on pictures and emails assuring adequate sleeping arrangments for my family, and in the end the beds remained. My biggest concern, however, is the owners apparent lack of discrimination to whom they rent. The biggest and newest villa was occupied by 8 or 10 unsupervised.males in their late teens after Christmas. Techno music blasted all hours of the day and night, drunken screaming seemingly out of control. The lower pool became murky possibly due to the drinking games we observed, and totally unusable by other guests. One family felt they had to forbid their daughters to go near. Adding insult to injury, I was told off by Tom for cutting a few flowers to take indoors for Christmas Day.

Outdated but great view

We were disappointed when we arrived. The unit was very outdated, smelled and we were told that we would need to pay $150 dollars before we were given the A/C remote controls. The fellow who met us for check in did not speak any English which made the whole check-in process challenging. The unit is very large, has a great view a lovely pool but is in desperate need of an update. Also, the pictures are not all of this unit - there is no infinity pool!

Gorgeous location, wonderful hospitality

While everything else in this area seems imposed upon the landscape -- brutalist condo buildings and impersonal hotels -- Tom and Igor's place, built 30 years ago when the area was still undeveloped -- puts local materials and a local sensibility to spectacular ends. It's the best of both worlds, combining magnificent views of mountains and sea with an intimate sense of being in a secret garden. Nowhere else do you see such dense, nurtured, well-loved and well-landscaped tropical plantings, watered every single day by members of Tom and Igor's loyal, consistent staff. This was our fourth visit to the Villas, and we have already reserved our rooms for next year. Two immaculate pools, one completely private and the other surrounded by cascading bougainvillea, are provided for guests who decide to spend their days on the property; but within five, ten or twenty minutes are a selection of heartbreakingly beautiful beaches. The place is convenient to many restaurants (I particularly recommend A lo Nico) and also to surf shops and resorts that can provide all the usual beach adventures and entertainments. Finally, Tom and Igor are the best hosts I have ever known. They are immediately responsive, warm and thoroughly companionable; and they have gone above and beyond the call of duty two or three times to rescue us from problems, including some of our own making. I cannot say enough about the magical place they have created and maintained for all these years.

Paradise with a View

We spent two months at Casa Loma for nine delightful weeks and were spoiled by the apartment, the view and our hosts Tom and Igor. The apartment was clean and very well appointed. Tom and Igor looked after every detail and were available every day even just to say good morning. We loved the pool, the immaculate grounds, the other guests but most of all the view. Looking out over Flamingo and the Pacific Ocean every day spoiled us for other locations. Thanks Tom and Igor, we will be back. Pura Vida!

Igor and Tom are just wonderful both were such a pleasure to meet. Can’t wait to go back again.

The property is located on a beautiful hill overlooking Flamingo and Portrero Bay with spectacular views of both mountains and ocean. The owners absolutely take pride in their properties and ensured that I had a pleasant experience throughout my stay. Igor was kind enough to give me a tour of the Properties and what all Villas Casa Loma has to offer (so much!). I cannot wait to come back to enjoy those beautiful sunsets and listening to the waves crash every morning.

Incredible views and more......

One of the secret places of Costa Rica! You will not regret choosing Villas Casa Loma for your next vacation. Accommodations are all unique, spacious and comfortable. There is something for everyone. (one of our favorite activities was to settle in with a glass of wine on our spacious covered terrace and toast the sun setting over the ocean each evening.) Consider the fabulous sunsets, the wealth of wildlife, the friendliness of the 'locals' and expats, the fascinating things to see and do! Thank you Tom and Igor for making Villas Casa Loma such a special place to relax in! The pools, views, area activities, the fine restaurants, the friends we met ... All special... We will always remember our stay there with relatives and friends from Europe. From the moment we got off the airplane we did nothing but smile and laugh. What a great vacation! There is so much to see and do in the area of Flamingo Beach. We hardly scratched the surface, but kept very busy during our 2 month visit to Costa Rica. We are all planning to return for the fun and the friendships. The beaches are just the start for a wonderful tropical experience. Foodies will love the huge selection of great restaurants in the area. Active individuals will certainly enjoy - as we did - the many options for activities on both land and in the water. We fished offshore one day and had a fabulous time. The next day we went for a day trip to some fascinating local villages, took a spectacular river cruise, ate delicious local food and bought indigenous souvenirs for friends back home. Other days we either relaxed by one of the pools, visited various beaches of the area and snoozed in the shade of the palms that dot the property. Much to do! We highly recommend this property. Perhaps we will meet you there on our next trip.

Enjoyed our stay at Villas Casa Loma.

It was a family vacation of 8, with each group having their own suite within 2 of the beautiful villas. We all shared the same pool and ate our meals on the terrace. The local restaurants were great and there are 3 great beaches in the vicinity, however, a car is recommended to get around. The property is well maintained and very safe as the owners live on-site. They were very pleasant to deal with and extremely helpful. I would recommend this property.

First trip to Costa Rica

Igor & Tom ~ thank you so much for your hospitality to me and my family this past December. We made our decision based on finding Villas Casa Loma on Trip Advisor and the reviews that were written by others who stayed there. I could go on and on about our stay…but to simply say “it was everything and more” pretty much covers it. I instantly fell in love with Costa Rica as I had hoped I would and I have no doubt Villas Casa Loma sealed the deal. We enjoyed the many beaches, four wheeling, body surfing, zip lining, soaking up the sun around the pool and happy hour with the beautiful Pacific coast sunset. Now that we are home in Texas we have visions of relocating to Costa Rica dancing in our heads! Pura Vida ~ Maggie

Amazing Experience

We love staying at Tom and Igor's fabulous villas. This was our 10th year coming down and enjoying their apartments and pool. We have traveled extensively throughout Central America, as well Costa Rica and Tom and Igor's Villas are by the far, the best places to rent. The amenities are fabulous, the staff are friendly and honest. The views and sunsets are spectacular! It is the perfect place to come alone or with the family to just relax and enjoy what Costa Rica has to offer. The Iguanas come by every afternoon for a visit and the Howler Monkey's hang in the tree's greeting everyone with their loud voices. We love it!!

Villas Casa Loma

You definitely know you are on vacation when you stay at Villas Casa Loma. The atmosphere is very relaxing, quiet, and has great views of the Pacific Ocean. The grounds are well maintained, actually manicured, and the large swimming pool is the cleanest I've ever seen. There is actually another pool that I never used. The architecture is impressive with a lot of attention to detail. The owners live on site and are available anytime and they are very helpful including suggestions and directions for local restaurants, banks, shops, etc. This just might be the best place to stay in Playa Flamingo.

WONDERFUL HOLIDAY EXPERIENCE !

WONDERFUL HOLIDAY EXPERIENCE ! Our passion is travel…After extensive tours throughout Europe, Asia, North and South America we decided to visit Costa Rica in Central America. My wife and I were both very curious about this country, as we had heard that it is a country without an army, with the highest standard of living in Central America and known as ‘The Switzerland of Central America’. Our long trip from Slovakia to Hungary, Holland, Florida and finally to Liberia, Costa Rica was well worth the effort! We spent a very satisfying week at Villas Casa Loma in Flamingo Beach. We experienced hot springs, a spa in the jungle, volcano, beautiful beaches, great restaurants, friendly gentle people and incredible flora and fauna! Truly a tropical Paradise! Our hosts, Igor and Tom were always eager to help with bookings and suggestions for places to go. Our accommodations were spacious and the property was everything we could have wanted. The views of the surrounding area from our Suite were gorgeous, the pool and gardens inviting and the staff delightful. We were able to relax completely in the secure environment that is Villas Casa Loma. In summary, this was a truly amazing trip. The time passed too quickly. We certainly recommend this lovely topical Paradise! Thank you for the wonderful experiences - we will be back! Alexander and Yveta – Kosice, Slovakia March 22, 2012

A ROOM WITH A VIEW

We have visited Costa Rica regularly for the past 20+ years and whenever possible try to stay at Villas Casa Loma. Perched on the side of a mountain with stunning sunset views, it never ceases to amaze. There are two pools to relax in and around - one more social; the other, a short walk through the beautiful gardens, a little more quiet. Tom and Igor are always present to answer questions or recommend an outing and the staff accommodating and friendly. If you like a good morning walk or run, ask Tom and Igor about my route - approximately 7kms from the front door of my unit, down the mountain, along Flamingo Beach, around another mountain and back again...no better way to get going! A little pool time with a good book, an excursion into Flamingo or Tamarindo for lunch and home in time for a glass of wine and sunset - that pretty well sums up our days! Thanks Tom and Igor - we shall return!!

Happy repeat visitor!

What a great place to visit in Guanacaste! This time we have stayed for 10 days in a Villa No 2 with breathtaking views of the ocean and surrounding greenery. There are flowers everywhere and birds and butterflies.This was not our first visit. We loved it before and came back more than once.Photographs on the web site represent this property accurately. The rooms are large with complete kitchen facilities, and everything is well maintained and clean. Owners are very helpful and go beyond the call of duty. Pools are large and very well maintained. We have recommended this property to many friends and many have come for a visit here as well. There are great beaches nearby, great restaurants, nearby volcanos, incredible spas and sanctuaries,zip line attractions,horse back riding....just a perfect vacation...a place to get away from it all. We always enjoy our visit and will come back again.

Villa Casa Loma Pura Vida!!! Trip was too short!

My wife and I had a fantastic stay at Villa Casa Loma. Igor and Tom are wonderful hosts ! Igor gave us the " Royal " tour of the property when we arrived .He was passionately helpful with our questions and interests during our stay.He even drove us into to town to pick up our car rental and waited patiently to ensure the process went smoothly! The Villas & grounds are gorgeous and meticulously kept .Enjoyed meeting Ernesto ( grounds keeper ) who greeted us every morning and our goodbyes on our final day.We drove around the Guanacaste region extensively and Villa Casa Loma was a great "base camp". The beaches are all within a short drive or a decent walk. Very convenient location in proximity to the local grocery store and restaurants. The people were so pleasant and very friendly in Playa Flamingo , we can hardly wait to book our next vacation there! Far too short of a trip! We met alot of Canadians there as well and made some new friends! Thanks Tom & Igor!

Villa 5

My husband & I spent 3 months at Villas Casa Loma & were very pleased with our accommodation in Villa 5. It was very private & I had the pool to myself for much of the time. We met some very interesting people during our stay & found Ernesto & the maids very helpful, willingly solving any little problems. We really enjoyed the trip arranged by our hosts to Las Catalinas on Playa Danta & appreciated Lola's fish & chips. We stayed at Villas Casa Loma 3 years ago in the top floor of villa 2 which we also enjoyed. It's hard to say which accommodation we liked best. Villa 2 has wonderful views. We went to the restaurant Mar Y Sol this time & recommend it for the view & the food. The staff are very welcoming as at the other restaurants we went to. We appreciated Tom & Igor's knowledge of Guanacaste province & they do their very best to ensure the enjoyment of their guests.

Unique and special!

Once again we have had the pleasurable experience of spending 2 memorable month at Villas Casa Loma.The weather wasabsolutely perfect for the entire time that we were there.We loved watching the birds of our private balcony in the early mornings.Sunny mornings spenton the unique beaches of the area and afternoon whiled away in and around one of the tropical swimming pools,surrounded by gently waving palm trees.Evenings were generally cool with light breezes.Great for sleep! Our hosts Igor and Tom were generous with their time,taking us on shopping excusion when they could find the time and to varios beaches whigh were too far for comfortable walk,but well worth the visit.One of our faourites was Playa Danta and Lola's Restaurant,were we in a group of friends for a mid- day meal on the beach,pure magic! To visit to Casa Loma is to experience a whole new way of relaxing. Thanks to the delightful staff,we were spoiled without ever feeling over-pampered. A safe,clean,truly friendly place to while away the winter month!We recommend Villas Casa Loma highly-and we already booked winter 2013,and we will be back!!!!!!! Magda&Johan

Escape to Paradise

We have recently returned from a memorable 10 days and 9 nights at the Villas Casa Loma. We stayed in Villa 3 which is situated dramatically on the side of a mountain with spectacular views from every window. In the back there are mountains with tropical vegetation and through all the other windows you can see the ocean.. There is a veranda with breath taking views of the ocean, mountains and a picturesque bay with sailboats. Every night we could watch the sunset in a blaze of color. Igor and Tom built the villa using native materials with soaring wood ceilings and gorgeous stone and woodwork. Every villa is uniquely decorated. Our villa had a long counter with chairs all on one side, cleverly facing the ocean. It was the dry season so the flowering trees and bushes were in full bloom and it was very hot. Igor and Tom had thought of everything for our comfort. We had multiple ceiling fans in every room and even on the veranda. There was air conditioning which we did need during the afternoons. We are swimmers so really appreciated the large pools and found time everyday where the pool was completely empty! Tom and Igor were perfect hosts and offered assistance in so many ways. The sent us to great local restaurants: Angelina's, Marie's, Carlos y Carlos, and Mar y Sol to name a few. The seafood is some of the best we have ever had. Tom, Igor and some of their other friendly guests advised us about beaches and towns to visit nearby. We vacationed with our daughter and her husband who had their own private room and bathroom with it's own entrance down a few steps from our villa. This was the perfect arrangement so they could have privacy, yet share our kitchen and veranda and spend time with us. One thing I must mention is that we had some trouble with our car rental in Liberia and were very worried about returning it at the end of the vacation. Igor offered to go with us to the local office to talk to the manager about the problem we had in Liberia and try to smooth our return. He must have worked magic because we had no problem when returning the car. I would avoid economy rentacar in Liberia. We had a wonderful and memorable trip to Costa Rica and highly recommend the Villas Casa Loma. In fact we have told all our friends are are worried they will all go and there won't be room for us!

10/10 Excellent

Good value for your money

For the first time in our lives we have taken a 30 day holiday - and now regret that we did not do this sooner! Our stay at Villas Casa Loma was much more than we expected and was made even more memorable by our thoughtful hosts, Tom & Igor, who went out of their way to include us in local activities, shopping trips, beach excursions, etc. Mornings were spent mostly walking the lovely beaches of the area. Afternoons were spent swimming and sunning by one of the 2 beautiful tropical pools. The time just flew by! Many new friends. Many wonderful experiences! Our accommodations were clean, comfortable and the premises were well maintained. Our beds were very comfortable, we received fresh towels every 2nd day and new fresh sheets once a week. Accommodations were just right. The staff was very friendly and helpful, too. Low key and wonderful! One of many highlights was a Sunday excursion to Playa Dante and Lola's Restaurant, where we dined on great fish and chips plus local beer under the trees by the beautiful beach - enchanting! On our last evening Igor and Tom organized a going away dinner which was another happy memory for us. We are very glad that we decided to join with two of our friends for a much-needed winter holiday at this special oasis. We highly recommend this property to anyone who is seeking a peaceful, soul-refreshing break from the routines of everyday life! We'll be back... E&K, Ontario, Canada

About the host

Dr. Igor Svoboda - retired Veterinarian and Tom Graydon - retired Criminologist & Realtor - have one thing in common: An intense LOVE of nature and all of God's creatures - especially things tropical!
We have always been surrounded by pets and plants, mountains and water, so it was only natural for us to gravitate to this beautiful little corner of Paradise...

Why they chose this property

After travelling extensively through many countries of the world, we came to Costa Rica for the first time 30 years ago and instantly fell in love with the nature, people, flora and fauna of this gentle country. More than 30 years ago (1989) we purchased a very large natural preserve nestled above the Pacific Ocean in the very sleepy, quiet community of Flamingo Beach in the Pacific North-Western province of Guanacaste. We never looked back - never regretted this decision. In fact, we started by building our first house. Then a guest house, followed by a pool. Before we knew it, we had designed and built a unique complex of beautiful Villas with 2 large pools - all built with the highest regard for their tropical surroundings and natural setting. From every window or terrace, one can appreciate the magic of Nature. It has been very rewarding personally for us to create this unique little corner of Paradise!
