Stay at this Designer's Home Villa in Pelada

Gracia is a newly built, beautiful 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom, designer home nestled in one of the most alluring neighborhoods in Nosara. This tranquil property is perched on an elevated ridge, surrounded by mature trees, nature trails, and jungle greenery. The beach is a 5-minute walk away and the sound of waves can be heard from the yard. This special property is a bird-watcher's paradise and a main thoroughfare for Howler monkeys who make their way across the canopy above.

Designed by award-winning architect, Lucca Spendingwimmer, the home is a tropical mid-century modern beauty, with hints of calming Asian influences. Casa Gracia was designed to be warm and inviting, yet also sophisticated and modern with aesthetics that complement the jungle environment.

Security
Nosara is absolutely a wonderful community and we can't wait to share all the good things that it has to offer. We care a great deal about our clients and for that reason, we also want to make you aware of one of the véry few downsides to Nosara: petty theft (they usually are out for your cash and your belongings as in any other tourism area). We would like to understand the dynamics of the group and downsize the chance of you having any issues with this. If not included, the property manager can arrange a dinner guard at an additional cost. The guest is responsible for securing and protecting their personal belongings and valuables left in and around the Property and for ensuring that all security features available are enabled every time they leave the Property.

Internet and Electricity
In the jungle, the utility infrastructure is unpredictable. There may be power, phone, and/or internet outages and interruptions in service. The Guest should not leave electronics plugged in during rainstorms. There is no guarantee that the Internet will always work. We have an excellent mobile phone signal with Kolbi and data rates are very reasonable. If internet access is always crucial, we encourage you to bring an unlocked phone and get a Kolbi SIM card.

Water

The Homeowners and Property Manager are not responsible for the fumigation or removal of insects that may enter the Property during the Guest's stay.
