One word: AMAZING

We spent an amazing stay at Villa la Cienega ! The location of the mansion is just magic ! Next to a nature reserve, up in to the hills with a 180° view on the ocean, no words can describe the beauty of this place. It's just a paradise and we felt so lucky to have discovered this treasure. Santa Teresa is a lovely place with good vibes and the most beautiful beaches of Costa Rica! People are so nice and you find everything you need. Lots of vegan food and healthy restaurants. Plenty of yoga and surf possibilities.. We loved our trip and hope to come back to Villa la Cienega.

Fantastic place with an amazing view

We stayed at Villa La Cienega for a week with our three kids, and it was an amazing experience. Highly recommended! The place is clean, private, decorated with taste, and centrally located. One of the best places we've ever stayed during a holiday. The view is truly magnificent. And Andreas is a great guy, who is always ready to help you with something. You won't regret going here.

Unbelievable Property and Great Host

We loved our stay in Villa la Cienega as the property was even more amazing than it showed in the pictures. Our host, Andreas was extremely helpful with everything we could ask for - including recommendations around town, setting up restaurant reservations and facilitating transportation to the house. The only challenge is getting to the property. It is a steep up-hill climb and you definitely need 4 wheel drive. However, once you arrive at the property, you realize that it is well worth the hike. I hope to stay at this property again in the near future.

This must be paradise!

The house on the quiet mountain is more then just a house. It's perfectly included to the beatiful nature of the Costa Rican jungle, with it's open characteristics you almost live "outside" in the garden. The views are astonishing, pacific ocean sunsets at its best. We felt very welcome by the house owners and can highly recommend to book this amazing villa. We will be back some day for sure...

perfect place for relaxing and Pure vida

The House was amazing. You live in harmony with nature. Oceanview included. Not far away from the beach, but far away from crowded streets this place is a wonderful combination of both. Having our beer here at sunset time is worth everything. Highly recommended

Great property, amazing views and sunsets.

A+++ location with lots of privacy, yet close to all the action in town. Ideal for families. Nice pool with Jacuzzi style relax area, and amazing view from inside the pool. Beautiful interior, with splendid French doors to all the rooms. Ask the manager for anything you want. It feels like a concierge service. Top notch!

What can I say? This property is amazing. It has everything you could want. Amazing view of the Pacific Ocean. Beautiful pool. 3 minutes from town and the beach. Comfortable, clean, and safe. Good WiFi in case you need to stay connected. Air conditioned. Absolutely loved my stay here.

On the Mountain: Gorgeous, Peaceful, Great view

This is a beautiful property up on the hill above the main strip in Santa Teresa, with a stunning view of the ocean and jungle (monkeys will pass by in the trees sometimes with their babies as you sip coffee on the balcony). It's about a 5-10 minute drive up the hill, which can be incredibly fun on quads/ATVs. I'm not sure how the roads are currently, sometimes it's an adventure up/down the hill but always worth it and it's safe and quiet up above the centre of the town. At the bottom of the hill are shops and restaurants. The interior design is gorgeous and spacious in the upstairs apartment (high ceilings, lots of light, nice cool cement floors and walls and nice decor) with bath and kitchen. There's a bedroom and cool outdoor kitchen on the lower level too, which I think the owners rent separately or together depending on avail. Swimming in the pool surrounded by this view is so relaxing. Owners are a very nice young Belgian family, there to help when you need.
