We had a wonderful stay at Casa Dolce Villa, and it would be a 5 star review if we weren’t traveling with toddlers. However, the house has many flights of stairs, all of which are winding, and that made it a less than relaxing stay given that there always not an option for baby gates. That being said, the house, the views, the staff- 5 stars! Our concierge Carlos who helped us plan our stay was so easy to work with. Our property manager Sidney was the absolute best host- literally went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was the best it could be. He arranged taxis, reservations, outings, postage- name it and he did it in record time and always with a smile. And our chef Freddy was AMAZING- hire him and treat yourself to home cooked meals throughout the week. Not only is his food delicious, but he even bought birthday gifts for the kids in our group who had birthdays during our vacation! The villa itself is gorgeous and spotless. Beds are super comfortable and the money visits (twice a day) are a lot of fun. Without toddlers I say book it!

Even Better than the Pictures!

We had a great time. The property was great for our family (2 parents and 5 adult children). The pictures did not do it justice -- the property and the views were fantastic. The staff were great. Special shout out to Mina for keeping the place immaculate and to Gary for lining us up with wonderful activities. You will see monkeys and other wildlife up close. They added a unique and unforgettable element to our stay. Will stay here again when we return to Manuel Antonio.

Amazing place. Probably one of the best views ever.

From start to finish, this experience was top-notch. Lots of help with excursions and recommendations. Great open-air kitchen for hanging out, dinners, and games. I would not recommend it for folks with toddler-age children. Some openings under the decorative walls are straight drops from the third floor. However, if you're adulting, this is the jam.

Nature lovers paradise

This house was fantastic overall, however, it may not be for everyone. Being a nature lover this house was incredible, we saw all species of Costa Rican monkey's from the kitchen (Squirrel Monkeys, Capuchins and Howler Monkeys) along with lots of birds like Toucans and Macaws and even a Basilisk Lizard perched over the pool. The house itself is also GREAT, with spacious rooms, air conditioning and a great layout. The view is spectacular and you do get a nice breeze most evenings off the ocean which is in full view. Now to the things which might worry some people. The Kitchen and main living area are open air and there are lots of bugs at night, though not many mosquitos when we were there. These didn't bother us much. Though there was a HUGE scorpion in the living room on the floor when we came in one night which was a bit freaky. The wildlife do have full access to the house, except the bedrooms. Monkeys do come in and grab things and we saw their little hand prints all over the kitchen, bugs get in and there are scorpions and snakes etc in the area. We spotted 5 snakes within the area of the house (although i was actively searching for them). That said, if those things dont bother you then this place is awesome! Host Ricky was great. recommend having a 4X4 as the roads around the house are steep and full of pot holes.

Casa Dolce Vita - A Slice of Heaven!

I don't even know where to start. My husband and I just got home from 5 days at Casa Dolce Vita. We don't stay at many homes more than once but would absolutely return to Casa Dolce Vita. Here's the skinny... Pros - if you like wildlife up close and personal, this is the place for you. Capuchins visit around 6 am each morning and again in the afternoon. And by visited, I mean the monkeys sat on top of the refrigerator and in the kitchen sink. We also had great sloth sightings, macaws, and the guard iguana we named Garoot. I miss Garoot already. The location is near great restaurants and shopping, and most tours will pick you up at the Casa. The house manager Ricky and maid Mina are incredible and look after your every need! Cons - the Casa is located at the bottom of a very steep hill and the road is not in the best shape. If you don't rent a car, plan on steep hikes up the hill to reach the main road. If wildlife is not your cup of tea, this is not the casa for you. Each living space in this house is on a different floor, there are a lot of stairs and each level is accessed by climbing a spiral staircase. Thats it. These weren't cons for us, but they may be for you. From the time we booked this home until our departure, everyone involved was absolutely great. We loved our stay here and plan on returning, hopefully with friends or family to share this incredible home with. Thanks Ricky and Mina for making this a very special stay for us.

Fabulous Views and an Amazing Property

We spent 3 nights at this property and thoroughly loved every minute of it. The view from the kitchen/living area was a spectacular ocean view and also wildlife watching as well. We saw 3 different kinds of monkey's, macaws, parrots and more. The pool area was perfect for privacy and I could do my workout and yoga poolside. The owner's suite had glass walls that led out to a veranda overlooking the ocean. The design of the house lends itself to having 4 couples due to the privacy of all appointed bedrooms. Ricky was most attentive and responsive to any of my questions concerning the property. We would love to return sometime in the near future!

Recent holiday trip

Our recent stay at this home was amazing! The house is absolutely beautiful and we loved the open air concept of the main area. Monkeys definitely stop by- we had them twice in the morning while we were in the kitchen. Awesome to see! Only issue was the tv’s- couldn’t get one to work and other one didn’t get many channels but besides that everything was great!!!

Great Stay in Great Location!

This villa was super luxurious and spacious. Every clean as well as we had a daily cleaning and laundry service which was a great added bonus. Ricky was super helpful in getting us checked in. The toad to the villa is a bit windy, narrow, and steep, so you will need a 4WD car and guts to drive it. After the second time though, I was very used to it. There is no common central room as you have to walk up and down stairs to access the various rooms, but another thing we got used to. The views are amazing, the amenities amazing, and the decor was great, and the pool was perfect. The location was also something we loved because we were right in the middle of wildlife. We would see monkeys, lizards, and parrots all around us. It was peaceful except for the loud construction that was happening a few doors down, and we could also hear the next door family very clearly as well. But the pros definitely outweighed the minor cons. Had a great time!!!

Unbeatable views of the pacific

Having never been to Costa Rica, this property was the perfect place for our stay. We had a group of 5, one couple and three individuals. We each had our own room on separate floors which was really nice. En suite bathrooms in each room was also a huge plus. The living space is open/un-enclosed which is amazing for the views as well as daily monkey visitors! However, this also lended itself to tons of creatures, moths, bugs, etc to make themselves at home. This was mainly an issue in the evenings and was handled by the staff each day. The house itself is gorgeous and is located in a gated, central location in Manuel Antonio. I highly recommend staying here and would certainly return!

Skip the resorts and head straight to Casa Dolce Vita!

What a fantastic property! My family of 5 (3 adult kids) stayed here for just under a week - the setup is perfect and the views can't be beat. Booking with Fernando and Valerie was easy and quick - our original Villa (through another owner/company) cancelled on us just 10 days before our vacation, but once we found Casa Dolce Vita Fernando and Valerie made it so easy to secure and took away all our worries. The bedrooms are all comfortable and have private bathrooms. The 3rd floor open living/kitchen area was amazing - we didn't even want to leave! The furnishings and art throughout is luxurious. Monkeys visited us twice a day, every day, and made for so much fun. The wildlife all around us was better than you could get anywhere. We had a sloth in the tree right outside, lizards, toucans, butterflies and 3 kinds of monkeys to keep us entertained. Ricky, the concierge, was great and made everything on our vacation so easy. He booked our tours, arranged for a private chef (Stephan - who I highly recommend you get!), checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed, gave us great tips and was just all around a great guy. Maid service was included and was not intrusive at all, keeping the place in great shape. I can't imagine having a better experience at a resort - you get 5 star surroundings with perfect privacy and safety and full service of a personal concierge. We did rent a car which came in handy and made getting around much easier than if you had to call a taxi every time. We will definitely book again in the future - and if in Costa Rica, wouldn't go through anyone but Ricky, Fernando and Valerie (they do have 6 properties - all of them look beautiful).

It's hard to put into words our experience. We loved everything. The street, the neighborhood, the views, the house and how spacious it was, the monkeys and iguanas, the birds, and the walkability to restaurants. Ricky and Valerie were excellent - thorough and responsive, hospitable and knowledgable. We hired a chef - Jr., and he was amazing. Excellent food and service. Fun to talk to and creative. Beautiful presentations. Valerie set us up on various tours. All of them were wonderful and every guide was perfect. Highly recommend!!

Living with the monkeys

Celebrating family birthdays, Casa Dolce Vita was a perfect Villa for us. Not having a car, the location made the beach, restaurants, bars, and shops accessible, although requiring a fair amount of walking which wasn't an issue for us, but something one should consider if you are not renting a car and out of shape. There is a very inexpensive bus that also can get you a from the beach to the top of the hill where this property is located. The property itself was very comfortable with the living area open to the surroundings, which means the monkeys were frequent guests, and I'm talking up close and personal. We found this enjoyable, especially the kids, but be prepared to hide small articles that you don't want to see disappear. We also had a Sleuth and Toucan(spelling)show up in the trees surrounding the property. Be prepared for the Howler monkeys starting around 5AM. We didn't see them, but they can be heard, something you have expect living in a rain forest. The rooms were perfect and the pool and lounging area ideal after a day of exploring. Overall, a great home we truly enjoyed. I should add that Ricky, the house manager, greeted us on arrival, gave us all the information we needed to know for our stay, and made himself available 24/7 if we needed him, which, fortunately, we didn't. Nice guy.
