À propos de cet hébergement

Villa Desiderata - Ma maison - Votre refuge privé et unique - Un coin de paradis!

LA DESCRIPTION:

«Desiderata» est le mot latin pour «ces choses dignes de désir».

Bienvenue à la Villa Desiderata. Complet (privé) au deuxième étage de la villa. Cette luxueuse maison est située dans la zone sud tropicale du Costa Rica et est appelée à juste titre «là où les montagnes rencontrent la mer». Il est situé à 900 pieds au-dessus du niveau de la mer, à 150 pieds en avant du flanc de la montagne comme la proue d'un navire. Le site offre une vue cinématographique à 270 degrés de la forêt tropicale humide, des vallées fertiles et une vue imprenable sur l'océan jusqu'à Manuel Antonio (25 miles). La Villa Desiderata pourrait être poétiquement décrite comme un appartement de grand standing flottant au-dessus de la canopée de la jungle.

DESCRIPTION DE LA PROPRIÉTÉ:
Villa Desiderata est un paradis tropical qui se trouve sur 3,5 hectares dans la communauté internationale haut de gamme de Lagunas de Baru, à seulement 14 minutes de l'océan et des restaurants et services commerciaux de Playa Dominical. Il est adjacent à une réserve naturelle de 90 acres et possède une cascade de 120 mètres et un charmant ruisseau bordant la propriété avec un sentier privé pour vous y emmener. Pour ceux qui souhaitent essayer la pêche, la rivière Baru est située à 8 minutes. Vous pouvez utiliser une simple ligne de pêche ou un fusil à harpon avec un masque de plongée en apnée vous offrant une expérience dont vous vous souviendrez toujours.

Un véhicule 4x4 est nécessaire pour se rendre à Villa Desiderata et à de nombreuses autres destinations au Costa Rica.
Villa Desiderata est une maison à deux étages et offre un mélange surprenant de styles et d'ambiances internationales avec un mélange éclectique de blocs de verre contemporains, de colonnes égyptiennes, de toits de pavillon japonais et de plafonds cathédrale. L'escalier au deuxième étage a un étang à poissons en dessous et une volière d'oiseaux spacieux qui peut être vu depuis le dogleg des escaliers et de nombreux emplacements au deuxième étage.
La propriété locative est située au deuxième étage de la villa et est accessible soit par l'entrée principale, soit par sa propre entrée privée. Il dispose de deux chambres avec balcon privé et de salles de bains adjacentes, d'une mini cuisine (réfrigérateur / cuisinière / micro-ondes) avec un petit coin repas et d'un grand salon avec une télévision à écran plat, une table de billard et un canapé-lit pouvant accueillir un lit supplémentaire la personne. Il y a un rancho extérieur 15 x 15 pour manger avec un barbecue à gaz et des sièges pour 10 qui peuvent être accessibles via un pont depuis l'un des balcons de la chambre. Dînez avec des vues spectaculaires sur des couchers de soleil incroyables, détendez-vous avec un bon livre ou observez la faune abondante (singes, paresseux, lézards, toucans, etc.).
Il y a beaucoup de choses à faire dans la région pour le divertissement et l'aventure. Il y a des visites disponibles pour la plongée en apnée et la plongée sous-marine, la descente en rappel de cascades, l'observation des baleines et des dauphins, l'équitation, l'alpinisme, la tyrolienne, la visualisation des auvents de la jungle, le rafting, la randonnée dans les parcs nationaux marins de Manuel Antonio, Corcovado et Ballena, balades en quad , kayak et bien d'autres activités. Profitez du golf, de la pêche, des sentiers de vélo de montagne, du yoga et du Pilates ainsi que de nombreux restaurants gastronomiques. Un livret complet de visites est disponible et une assistance pour l'organisation de visites sera fournie avec plaisir. Plusieurs plages isolées de classe mondiale se trouvent à moins de 20 minutes en voiture de l'établissement. Si la détente est votre objectif, la Villa Desiderata est un cadre très paisible qui vous permet de reprendre contact avec vous-même et la nature. Une grande sélection de livres et de jeux de société sont fournis pour votre plaisir.
La propriétaire habite au rez-de-chaussée de la villa et aime partager la beauté paisible de sa villa. Elle fera de son mieux pour vous offrir une expérience mémorable. La villa est ouverte aux célibataires, aux couples et aux modes de vie alternatifs. Elle a trois chiens et deux chats ainsi que de nombreux oiseaux dans sa volière. Ils sont très sympathiques et aiment la compagnie…. mais ne sont jamais autorisés dans la zone d'hôtes.

AGRÉMENTS:
Complet (privé) au deuxième étage de la villa avec une petite cuisine (réfrigérateur / cuisinière / micro-ondes) qui comprend des plats et des ustensiles, une cafetière, une bouilloire, un grille-pain, un mixeur, un cuiseur à riz, une poêle électrique et une mijoteuse; un grand salon pouvant accueillir 6 personnes qui comprend une télévision à écran plasma de 50 pouces avec des films Netflix, un lecteur DVD, des films DVD, une Wii et une table de billard (adultes seulement); et un rancho 15 x 15 avec 2 salles à manger et barbecue à gaz.

The amenities were on point! As someone who likes to cook for themselves for often than not, having the use of a kitchen with all the necessary accoutrements was a God send. The vibes were immaculate too: the views, the pool, the property itself were way better than I could have hoped for. Definitely will stay there again if we make it back down to Costa Rica in the near future.
This was our view every morning.

This was a truly wonderful private retreat and an ideal place to unwind. The accommodations occupy the entire second floor of the house and are spacious, beautifully furnished, and thoughtfully decorated, making it feel both comfortable and special from the moment we arrived. The property itself is peaceful and secluded, offering a real sense of privacy while still being close to everything you’d want to explore in the area.Terry, the host, was absolutely outstanding. She was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. She went above and beyond to help with accommodations, offering thoughtful advice and excellent recommendations for restaurants, beaches, and nearby activities. Her local knowledge truly enhanced our stay and made it easy to discover some wonderful spots we might not have found on our own.One of the highlights of the property is the stunning infinity pool, where we enjoyed watching both the sunset and the sunrise, an unforgettable experience. The grounds are meticulously maintained and filled with beautiful flowering plants and bushes, adding to the serene and tropical atmosphere.The drive to the house takes about 10–15 minutes from the main road and does require careful driving on a rougher section, but it is well worth it for the tranquility and views that await at the top. Dominical itself is a charming small town with a fully stocked BM grocery store, along with a variety of great local shops and restaurants.

We were celebrating our 40th anniversary during our trip to Costa Rica. We have always liked our trips to include both adventure and relaxation. Villa Desiderata was the perfect spot for us. It is a quiet, clean, spacious, and calming retreat. The whole place made us feel at ease. Terry was very nice and easy to talk to. She was an excellent host and helped us get our bearings. Terry gave us superb recommendations on where to eat and beaches to see. We would definitely come again!

Even though Terry lives downstairs closest to the pool, we always had the pool to ourselves and felt right at home.

Peaceful Naturalist Retreat Central Location Outstanding Location

The views and scenery of this location are great. We actually saw almost every bird and animal that we went to see in parks on Terry's property or on nearby walks. We spent a month and enjoyed everything from the surrounding jungle flora and fauna to the epic views of the coastline, outrageous sunsets, to star watching at night while floating in the pool. The fact that there are lots of parks, waterfalls, beaches and nearby towns all within an hours drive made this property a great base to explore from or come back to and chill out. One huge plus is the wealth of knowledge Terry supplied in terms of local knowledge about places to visit, where to shop, and much more that simplified and enhanced our stay.

The drive up the bumpy road is soon forgotten when you arrive at this piece of heaven. Exceeded our expectations. Surrounded by lush vegetation with a killer view down the coast line. We spent every late afternoon in the pool watching the sunset while toucans and parrots appeared. Terry was a superb host, offering insider tips about where to go, what to see.

Just reading the VRBO review wasn't enough to tell us that it was a 4x4 only accessible property.

I'm very happy with the property. VBRO and the owner never made me aware that; the owner lived in the property or that it was very distant and only 4x4 accessible. Not as many people would care for these non amenities and I didn't either.

THank you for your msg . is clearly states in the rental property details that the renters are renting the full private half of the Villa and the owner lives downstairs and there is a private entrance for the renters . It also states the Villa is located at 800 Feet above sea level up in the mountain and a 4 x 4 is needed . Acutally only a small stetch of 25 feet of the road is needs a 4 x 4 and if you are visiting CR most gravel sideroads require a 4 x 4 wheeldrive .

Incredible stay

Terry lives on the property and allows as much interaction as her guests want. We left feeling like family. She gave great suggestions for places to go and things to do. She even arranged a fishing trip with a local fisherman. We were able to bring home a feast which we prepared and enjoyed with our hostess. Although we began with an interesting drive to the place, we rapidly felt at home. The place had plenty of space with a wide open concept. The grounds made for a nice hike one day and we spent a day in the pool enjoying the incredible view. Dominical was a short drive away with Uvita just a bit further and we frequently went to both. We look forward to visiting CR again and whether we stay with Terry or find a place of our own, we will be sure to visit and keep in touch.

Spring Break in Dominical

We recently stayed in Dominical. It’s one of our favorite places in Costa Rica. Our rental was great. Working with the host was easy. She was responsive, helpful, and had plenty of insights for recommendations in the area. The view and pool were as advertised, terrific. The upstairs of the home is the rental and it is spacious with two separate bed rooms, huge kitchen dining living area with covered out side lounge barbecue area and great views. It is a bit of a treck up the mountain from the main road about 15 minn. We surfed several different locations, visited local swimming holes with waterfalls, hung out at different beaches took the kids zip lining and horseback riding ate great food. Everything was within 20 to 45 minn from the house. Pura Vida

Also, listen when she tells you that you need a 4X4 :) The house is gorgeous located in an amazing and beautiful jungle with all sorts of wildlife...that said it can get really loud especially early in the morning when the wildlife wakes up the jungle (we found it delightful). We went at a very hot time of the season (Mid March 2024) and yes it was very hot so we were happy to jump in the pool daily for a cool down as the air was not operational...there was a great rain storm our last night in the villa that cooled the whole area down and that was a welcome and needed downpour... Again thanks to Terry for being a great host and setting up our fishing tour :) Pura Vida

I have enjoyed hosting Toyin and his family. Our experience was smooth from the beginning to the end. It was so easy to communicate with all of them. They followed my house rules and they were perfect guests. They also took great care of my space, left it clean and tidy, and it was a REAL pleasure to speak with all of them. I hope to have the opportunity to host Toyin & his family again in the future . Come back any time! Remain Safe & Blessed, Terry

Paradise with a Twist!!!

This place has a million dollar view - you will not be disappointed. You will definately need a 4x4 wheel drive to get to the location. The road is dirt and mud and VERY difficult to traverse. It is an E-Ticket ride to the property but trust me, IT IS worth it. The property is beauty beyond belief! The private infinity pool, with this million dollar view, will make you never want to leave. The upstairs home is extremely nice with lots of views and unusual things for you to enjoy. Your host Mizz Terry lives downstairs but is better than any tour guide you could have. She is there to help you, guide you or just leave you alone if you wish. The price for this VrBO is 1/2 what other places are charging - and it's totally worth it. If you book it - tell her Randy sent you!!! PURDA VIDA!!!!

Hi Randy, Thank you for your fantastic review! It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed Villa Desiderata million-dollar view, the private infinity pool, the luscious grounds, the wild life around the Villa and of course the host which is “me “smiles grin. I truly appreciated your feedback and look forward to welcoming you & your group back soon. I also loved and enjoyed your awesome personality. I would like to add that I am sad you had to drive on part of a muddy road to get here that was CAUSED by 15 days of torrential rain which put CR during that period in National alert due to various regions being affected. You will be happy to hear the Seabreeze road is fixed now and pleasant to drive on. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any suggestions or need assistance in the future! With Kind regards, Mizz Terry D Villa Desiderata

Disappointed

The property does have a wonderful view but we were unable to properly enjoy it. We had very limited access to the pool/pool area and always felt like we were intruding. We have never had an issue with any previous VRBO rentals. This rental was not cleaned properly we found debris under the beds, a used luffa hanging in the shower, a broken fan in the master bedroom and dirty rugs in the kitchen. The owner has 2 new puppies that do bark at pretty much all hours and there was construction in a new deck going on during our stay. I am sure the owner will have an excuse or rebuttal because she was argumentative during our stay.

Sorry you feel that way but ONLY renters use the pool. Yes, I verified under the bed, this situation was resolved, I now have a new cleaning lady. The luffas in the shower are brand new. You should have talked to me about the fan, it was fixed immediately after I was made aware of it . All rugs are washed after each renting, also there is 4 additional cleaned spare rugs for each room. Yes, young puppies do bark occasionally during the day. My workers start at 6 am and did forget ONE morning and did make noise for 5 minutes and were stop immediately.

Great location, great views, great price!

My husband and I "lived" at Villa Desiderata for 3 months this past winter and really felt at home. We had more than enough space for the 2 of us and were quite comfortable hosting another couple from Canada in our space for 2 weeks of our stay. The Rancho area was one of our favorite places to sit and read or play games and we ate all of our meals out there. We loved the location with the beautiful sunsets, views of the ocean, and slightly cooler temperatures in the evening and yet had great access and close proximity to many of our favorite beaches for our daily adventures. A 4 x 4 vehicle is needed (as stated in the ad) for the last little stretch of drive into the property but it's all part of the adventure of living in the Costa Rica jungle - along with co-existing with the many critters that inhabit this biodiverse part of the world! Terry, our host, was always available to help us out if we needed anything or had any questions. Our space was well stocked with the essentials and if any item was missing, we just asked Terry and she did her best to supply it to us. Terry is an animal lover and shares her home with several dogs, cats, and birds and renters can expect to share the experience of multiple pets in the home and on the property. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Villa Desiderata and are booked to return for another 3 months in 2019!

Gorgeous secluded location with great views and nice amenities

Desiderata is a lovely villa, with an upstairs apartment for rent. It is perched on a gorgeous ridge overlooking the Pacific ocean embraced by rainforest mountains. The dirt road to the villa is an adventure that requires a reliable 4x4 vehicle, you’ll get great directions. The infinity pool is delightful, just as in the photos, it is used only by the guests while renting, as well as the lovely covered terrace for outdoor dining, and gazebo. The views from all rooms are truly amazing! The villa is well supplied, with reliable high speed, work-friendly video-call internet. It’s not as clean as one might expect, but it’s comfortable, with king beds and pillows and roomy bathrooms. The owner is French Canadian and lives downstairs, she is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about Costa Rica, and is happy to help with directions and travel suggestions. Her 2 Aussie Blue pups are delightful, one of her cats may sneak upstairs briefly, but they stay mostly downstairs. There is a large aviary on the way upstairs, facing both outdoor terraces, with budgies ensuring an early start to your day. They add to the tropical feel of the place. The grounds are lovely with lots of bushes in bloom. We saw toucans, monkeys, hummingbirds, flocks of parrots and cranes, white headed hawks and turkeys. Overall a great place to visit, a peaceful sanctuary close to Quepos, Uvita, Dominical and Parque Marino Ballena. Thanks Terry, we really enjoyed our stay and will recommend Desiderata to others traveling to CR! Take care!

You deserve better

We chose this property based on the glowing reviews and it ended up being the worst rental experience we ever had.The Good:-You are in Dominical, a stunning location in the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. -The property is secluded, 20-30min drive in via a somewhat difficult road. It has a nice view and the pool seems nice, we did not try it given hygiene concerns.The Bad:-The place was filthy, foul-smelling, hot and worn.-We killed several roaches as we setting the beds to sleep. There were used personal hygiene items left over in the showers.-We could not get any of the air conditioning units to work. The ceiling fans and a couple of paltry pedestal fans did not help much with the oppressing heat and smell of the first (and only night) we wasted there.The Ugly-The host, Terry was beyond rude and dishonest. We left the next day in disgust for the overall poor upkeeping of the property. She not only refused to acknowledge the issues, but did not refund the days we did not spend in the property. To add further insult to injury, she created damages after we left and attempted to charge us for them. Luckily we took pictures before we leave and kept a log of her messages, so we are able to dispute her claims. In summary, you worked hard for this dream vacation. Don’t let our experience become yours. There are better places/people out there!

This review is from an abusive renter. He was angry I would not give him his money back. My former reviews show this is not true, 95% of our reviews are 8 stars or above. I do not cave to scammers looking for a free night. Might I add that VRBO was sent a video & fotos that proved he was lying through his teeth .

Décevant!

Les bons points : l'hôte a été d'une grande aide pendant notre séjour : conseils, prêts de planches pour aller dans les vagues et des chaises pour la plage. La piscine est magnifique et offre une vue imprenable sur l'océan et la jungle. Les mauvais points : les informations sont érronées pour la plupart. Je ne rentrerai pas dans tous les détails. Rien n'est proche. 12 minutes de gravel en partant pour rejoindre une route asphaltée. La première plage est à 25 minutes en voiture. Pas de restaurants accessibles à pieds. L'aéroport est à environ 4h selon le trafic. On ne parle pas de luxe, ni de grand standing. La propreté laisse à désirer. Pas d'air climatisé. Des ventilateurs qui fonctionnent mal. Des chiens qui aboient et une volière de perruches collée à la maison et à ma chambre. Réveil assuré aux petites heures de l'aube... très décevant!

Dear Isabelle , It is very disappointing reading the content of your review, after I have gone out of my way to make your stay enjoyable here for you and your group of 3 and all of you were provided with lots and lots of additional perks and being told by Damien that is was a exceptional place here . Let me clarify a few details that you left in your review that does not reflect the reality; The property is located on the Lagunas Mountain and it says clearly that it takes 14 minutes to drive to Dominical to reach the first beach and it does not take 25 minutes. No, there is NO restaurant at walking distance of the beach as the property is located on the upscale mountain of Lagunas and not on the waterfront. The closest restaurant is 7-8 minutes away by vehicle then LOTS of restaurants can be found in Dominical and nearby towns. The information listed in my add are not wrong in any way and do reflect the description giving . One as to only read the previous reviews to confirm what I am saying. From the airport it takes 3 hrs. 15 minutes to get here to the Villa, your check in was on a Saturday, therefore it is normal you would experience additional traffic driving here as lots of people leaving the big city and going out for the weekend to beach areas on the South Side . No were in my VRBO add does it say that AC is available here. I do have two Australian bishop dogs and they pass the whole day in a dog coral away from the house and are brought near the house to sleep in their dog houses at night separate from each other … they rarely bark unless they sense there is a deer on the property or a wild animal at night and when they do bark I get up to see what is going on. There is an outdoor cage attached to the house with Perico d’amor …. They sing and chirp in the day time and sleep at night and start singing at 6ish in the morning permitting renters to have a good night sleep. Early at 6ish you will also start to hear toucans, wild turkeys and other tropical birds sing in the nearby trees.

Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement

Why this property?
This place is amazing! Upon first arrival the place will feel like paradise, an incredible oasis! You will feel comfortable here. A very relaxing experience. This is a special place. You will love the openness of the space you will live in and lots of privacy. The property is gorgeous, private, the landscaping is incredible - and elegantly transition to the jungle so you really feel immersed in the surrounding jungle wildlife. Spectacular views, all the comforts of home, a visit from tropical birds in the surrounding canopies, wonderful doggies (and a shy cat) to greet you, and the best host, Terry (me) who has the gift of hosting and will be as invisible or helpful/present as you need and always had a solution or help for whatever you need.

Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique

Feel in love with the friendly Costarican people, this Dominical de Osa area, and with this Luxurious Villa at first sight which made me buy it .Villa Desiderata is The Ultimate in tropical privacy and gracious PARADISE living. The property enjoys stunning White-water views (25 MILES) to Manuel Antonio, mountain vistas, dramatic sunsets and refreshing tropical breezes. Desiderata is also Adjacent TO A 90 acres nature reserve and is blessed with a 120’ waterfall cascade that borders the property lines, a sitting area and offering a delightful stream to explore and ensures your privacy and a private trail can bring you there .There is also a sitting area near the stream to rest or picnic and a nice POSA in the stream to sit in and cool off. Desiderata is 14 minutes away from Beaches and 20 to 35 minutes to four nearby towns ( San Isidro EL General/Perez Zeledon , Uvita , Ojochal , Quepos , Manuel Antonio ) permitting you to shop in bigger scale or enjoy the Feria (fruit market ) if you wish to do so.

Desiderata might poetically be viewed as a ” a penthouse apartment floating above the jungle canopy”
