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!
