After the month of Feb in Nosara, CR, we had kept 3 last days to visit another community closer to Liberia for the icing on our cake at the end of our trip. We tripped over Villa Casa Loma on VRBO and stayed 3 nights.
Villa Casa Loma is just outside Playa Flamingo, and is a most unique stone structure of 5 buildings built on a hill overlooking Playa Flamingo. The Villas are beautiful...ours was a spacious 1 BR apartment in Villa 4. It was so peaceful and tranquil...steps below was an immense swimming pool near Villa 5 with another pool above at Level 2.
We were greeted by Tom...who showed us around the property, and helped by Emilio with our collection of bags. (After all we were travelling a month). Tom was an awesome host, encouraging us to explore the property (I call castle). The 3 local staff (Nicaragüenses) I met over the next 3 days...Emilio, Willy and Byron were friendly staff who allowed me to practice my bad Spanish. Gracias amigos por tu pacience! I also loved learning about your home country as well.
Interaction with other guests was an option, as there were many other friendly visitors, with a perfect balance of privacy too. There were a couple of local watering holes and cafes within walking distance, but a golf cart rental would be ideal to help get you around. We did meet a local through a bar server, who was a text message away to help transport us anywhere we needed. Don’t be shy as Costa Ricans want to help. Hey Adventure at its best!
Can’t wait to return. I literally was in tears when I left! Sappy I know. Please do yourself a favor and visit this gem! Thank you Tom & Igor! So glad we found you!
