What can we say about our most recent trip to Costa Rica? The
experience was overall magic! My active family of 4 were in constant need
of entertaining things to see and do, so we "discovered" Villa 4 at Villas
Casa Loma and spent a very happy holiday there. The setting is rustic -
almost Mediterranean in feel.
My wife and I occupied a large apartment with a spacious open concept living/dining/kitchen. Lots of windows to bring in the lovely views. The
bedroom and bathroom were large and airy, too. This engaging villa also
offered plenty of quiet patios and balconies on which to rest and relax or
spend quality time with other family members.
On approaching the apartment there is a large covered entry with a stone
staircase leading up to another covered terrace with wet bar and sunset views. Leading out of both the living room and bedroom were large glass doors
opening onto a covered balcony/terrace that leads to yet another open
terrace and a staircase leading down to a second apartment that is almost
totally built of stone! Well equipped, this apartment has a small kitchen and bathroom, open living and dining room and a modest, but adequate double bedroom. This is where our two teens stayed - (separate, but close enough). Proximity to two huge pools was a big plus for us, as were the
many restful gardens.
The staff is very pleasant and helpful. They speak mostly Spanish, so it gave
us all opportunities to practice our limited Spanish. On the recommendation
of our hosts, we enthusiastically signed up for additional Spanish lessons at a Spanish language school located just minutes away from our villa.
Very rewarding!
Lots of wonderful beaches are close and a spectacular variety of great
restaurants, too. 3 golf courses are nearby, along with great sport fishing opportunities.Limitless things to see and do!
Thanks, Tom and Igor. - You made our stay a very special one.
We have fond memories of the entire experience.
