I wish we’d stayed longer. The property exceeded our expectations, was closer to the town and beach than we expected but also nicely removed from the action. The home and pool were perfect for us, 2 adults traveling with our two daughters. The pool was delightful and parakeets visited in the trees above each day. Check in experience was flawless and Leonie was a terrific host. She met us at check in and then again before we left. I’ve sent the listing to many friends since returning and look forward to staying again.

Beautiful property right off of one of the main roads in Samara. Easy walking distance (note the hill is steep). We loved the views and felt like we were in the trees. So many beautiful birds and monkeys. We spent all our time outside. Leonie was easy to communicate with and very responsive.

The views, the birds, the monkeys… there truly is nothing quite like it. We are delighted Leonie took great care of you and that you felt at ease throughout your stay. Guests like you make it all worthwhile. We hope Samara calls you back soon! Warm regards, The Villa Clara Team

Beautiful pool and outdoor area. The pool was cleaned daily. The principle suite was nice and spacious, but the two other bedrooms were quite small. Having en suite bathrooms and direct access to the deck area was nice. The tile around the pool is dark and gets so extremely hot that you cannot walk on it in bare feet. It’s also quite slippery. The kitchen is reasonably well equipped. The property manager was excellent and helped make our stay enjoyable.

Dear Jody, thank you so much for this thoughtful review! We are delighted to hear you enjoyed the pool, the outdoor area, and the en suite bathrooms with direct terrace access, these are truly some of our favorite features of Villa Clara. It also warms our hearts to know our property manager made such a positive impression on your stay. Regarding the guest rooms, we intentionally prioritized direct terrace access over square footage, a design choice we feel enhances the overall outdoor living experience the villa offers. As for the pool tiles, they are anti-slip and light grey in tone, a deliberate choice to avoid the blinding glare that bright white tiles would create under the intense Guanacaste sun. That said, your feedback is well taken, we will make sure to remind future guests to wear sandals when walking on the uncovered portion of the terrace during the hottest hours of the day. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Villa Clara soon! Warm regards, The Villa Clara Team

We really enjoyed our stay in Samara. The property felt very safe. We were close to town but removed up on the hill. It made restaurants and beaches easy to access. The house had a very spacious feel to it. It was also very clean when we moved in. My children loved the pool and I loved all the different seating choices on the pool deck. We played many games of cards out there. The outdoor shower was wonderful after time spent at the beach. My children spent many hours in the pool! The highlight was the last night when howler monkeys including 2 babies were in the trees adjacent to the house. Leonie was very responsive to our questions!

Dear Barbara, thank you for your lovely review. We’re so glad you felt safe and enjoyed the villa’s peaceful setting, spacious layout, and pool area. It’s great to hear your family made such good use of the outdoor spaces, and that the howler monkeys made a special appearance. We really appreciate you staying with us and hope to welcome you back. Warm regards, The Villa Clara Team
