Surrounded by 200 reforested acres, Hacienda Valle Solo is set in the countryside overlooking the beaches of Tamarindo, Playa Grande and Playa Ventanas. Just minutes from Playa Tamarindo. Spend your days relaxing on the porch, in the pool, or under the large poolside rancho. Take in the many adventures Tamarindo and the surrounding area have to offer - amazing beaches, ziplining, deep sea fishing, golfing, horseback riding, 4-wheeling and more. When adventures are done, retreat to your private hacienda for a dip in the pool or watching an amazing Coast Rican sunset from the porch! Pura Vida.

This lovely home includes 4-bedroom/bathroom suites, all with ocean views. The home is surrounded by an expansive covered porch making your stay a real outdoor experience.

The house is fully equipped and has a lovely open kitchen and dining area with a long breakfast bar. The 5 bathrooms are luxurious in their natural construction with granite and stone. The house has a modern, though rustic feel. The pool area has a large rancho, a thatch covered patio area, next to the pool. There are full time care takers.

Hacienda Valle Solo is a jewel of a hideaway, offering a private escape while close to several of the beautiful beaches of Guanacaste. Nearby Tamarindo offers, sunning, surfing, swimming, kayaking to Isla Del Capitan or a moonlight stroll after dinner. Enjoy Tamarindo’s world-class restaurants, and night life and walk the main street for great shopping. Best of all you can retreat each day to your private Hacienda nestled on the hilltop, quiet, secluded with stunning views everywhere you look.

Great time in Costa Rica

The property was perfect for our stay! With every bedroom having it's own exterior entry and full bath, each couple could start each day at their own pace. Everyone had their own privacy. We ended each of our days playing group card games in the main house. The 15 minute drive into town and the beaches was not a big deal. Dealing with Michel,the owner, prior to our stay was smooth and the documentation shared on the house and region was outstanding. Kenny and Mili, the Caretakers onsite, were fantastic! We had a flat tire on our rental car one night while leaving to go into town for dinner. Kenny rescued us, changed the tire and loaded the flat into his truck and we were quickly back in route. The next morning before any of us woke, Kenny drove the fllat into town and had it repaired. He brought it back to the house and swapped the spare for the repaired wheel/tire again to get us back to normal. They are invisble when not needed and always appeared when we needed assistance with things... Costa Rica is a definite repeat place for all of us, and Hacienda Valle Solo a place we would rebook for sure!

70th birthday party

Went here with my mother and my two brothers. The property is located on a hill in Villarreal facing west. Staying there was an incredible experience and I highly recommend it. Close to multiple different beaches and easy access to Tamarindo. You will need a car to stay here for sure. Kenny and Mili take great care of the property and will help with anything you need.

Best Family Vacation Ever

Staying here was simply the best family vacation we've ever had. If you want night life, partying, and craziness......this IS NOT the place for you! We wanted peace and quiet with breathtaking views and sunsets. We wanted to relax in the pool and cook great meals and just enjoy being with each other away from the pace of life. We went to bed most nights shortly after viewing one of the best sunsets I've ever seen and rose in the morning to watch the sunrise with fresh coffee. The days were quiet, the sun was hot, and everything was taken care of. There are two amazing people (Kenny and Milli) that take care of the huge plot of land and live in the apartment behind the house. They are the sweetest couple and had the absolute perfect blend of making sure our stay was great whilst allowing us to relax in privacy. The local area has great supermarkets to cook at home and several beaches within a short drive. Our routine was to wake up with coffee, go to the beach until around noon. Head back to the place for lunch, lounge in the pool until dinner. Cook dinner and go to bed. Again this is the perfect quiet family recharge location. We did have a few excursions to zip lining and horse riding adventures....it seems all of those type of adventures are around a 2 hour drive due to slow and sometimes rough roads. We are planning to return next year!

About the host

Hosted by Michel Holsten

Two college friends created Hacienda Valle Solo in 1985. Originally, part of the property was farmed for sorghum and the rest kept in pasture for cattle. Over the years we have brought back the natural forest cover on much of the land and reforested others. We also maintain a small pasture which we rent out to local cattle owners at the end of each rainy season when the grass is high. During the same time, we have pursued independent careers, one in technology, one in international assistance, while creating families of our own with strong ties to Costa Rica and this property. To us and our children it is, and always will be, "The Farm".
