The Villa Mariana with Chef & Staff

The base rate is for the MAIN HOUSE ONLY (4 bedrooms). Guest house (2 bedrooms) is an additional fee. Our stunning glass house, featured on House Hunters International, was designed by an award winning architect and sets a standard of quality in beautiful Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. Located in an extremely private area, yet close to the beach and all amenities, and with 6,000 square feet of overall indoor and outdoor living space, this sophisticated and spacious retreat is “one of a kind”.

Our concierge will be at the villa to greet you on arrival and will gladly arrange your airport transfers, the first chef meal, pre-stocking the house with groceries and booking any of your excursions and tours prior to your trip. Our concierge will also stay in contact with you throughout the week to make sure that you have everything that you need for an amazing vacation.

Our housekeepers (Flor and Eliza) will be on the property from 8am to 4pm daily (except Sundays) to tidy up the house. Our groundskeepers on property (Mauricio and Helberth) will be on property each day to maintain the property, but they can help you with everything from luggage to spotting monkeys, sloths or toucans. They will be on the property each day as needed and will gladly open and close up the house for you each morning or when you go out. If more privacy is needed, contact the concierge and your request will be accommodated.

Chef Ana will be available for up to two meals per day for up to six days of a seven day stay (or all days of a five or six night stay). Cost of food is extra. A chef's assistant fee of $300 will be added to all groups of 10 or more guests.

The house sits on over two (2) acres of lush, tropical scenery - basically, a glass house in the jungle, yet close to the beach. The tiny titi monkeys are daily visitors on the patios and you'll see plenty of macaws, toucans and sloths on the property. The main road (618) in Quepos/Manuel Antonio is located just 200 meters from the front gate. The closest restaurant is just outside of the front gate and to the right. This makes it very easy to pick up some local Costa Rican food very quickly. There is a private beach called Playa La Macha that is situated directly behind the property that guests can walk/hike to (which can also become a great workout) for beautiful scenery.

Our private concierge will meet you upon arrival with gate remote controls and keys to the house.

The base rate is for the main house only, which accommodates up to 11 guests in 4 bedrooms. The main house is very comfortable with 8 couples if they do not want to share any bedroom space. For those wanting to share space, the master bedroom has a king bed and a twin daybed in the room. There is also a bedroom that includes 2 queen beds that can sleep 4 guests if sharing space.

For an additional nightly rate of $400 + tax, a separate 2-bedroom, 3-bathroom guest house can be rented, allowing up to 16 total guests on property. This house is on property and steps away from the main house, but is completely private and includes a kitchen, living room, swimming pool and expansive outdoor deck. The guest house is never rented separately to another guest. It is only used for overflow for the group that is renting the main house.

The houses sit on 2 acres of beautiful jungle and lushly planted gardens surrounding the compound. The completely gated grounds, with an electronic gated entrance and parking for up to 3 vehicles, are spectacularly illuminated at night providing a magnificent nighttime ambiance.

From the main house, you can meander down a beautiful garden pathway to the separate casita with it's own eat-in kitchen, living area, large outdoor deck and infinity pool – The ultimate in privacy!

With three points of entry, there is a man-made walking trail throughout the property with a beautiful yoga deck where guests can enjoy some "zen" time and to get even closer to all of the amazing wildlife.

There is space for up to 3 cars on the fully gated property. Within 5-10 minutes, guests can drive or take a taxi from the house to Manuel Antonio National Park, any of the beaches, Marina Pez Vela and many shops/restaurants. Many of our guests choose to walk to the marina or into downtown Quepos because it is so close; although the house is centrally located between Quepos and Manuel Antonio. Our concierge can assist guests in contacting local taxis for pickup. Almost all excursions that are booked will also include transportation. Rental cars can be delivered to the house and picked up from the house as well.

Once your booking is accepted, please e-sign our contract. A 13% Costa Rica VAT tax is added to all bookings.

The base rate is for the main house only for up to 11 guests (if sharing bedrooms), which includes 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms with a total of 1 twin bed, 3 king beds and 2 queen beds. No more than 11 guests are permitted in the main house. The separate guest house can be rented for an additional fee per night (to either spread out OR to allow up to 16 guests total to share space). The guest house includes 2 bedrooms with queen beds and a living room that can be converted to a bedroom with a twin bed, upon request. Advance notice will need to be given so that the twin bed can be assembled and placed in the guest house living room prior to arrival.
