Paradise In Costa Rica

As you grab your bag and go up a slight incline to check in to this property you are hit with the beauty. Behind you stretches the ocean and in front of you is green grass, palm trees, beautiful flowers and a blue, inviting pool. We stayed in places with a great view of the ocean and immediate usaf the nearby pool. The Villas are also located centrally where at the bottom of the driveway you can go left to Playa Potrero with its beaches and restaurants or left into Playa Flamingo with it's beaches and restaurants. Easy check in with Igor and he was always available for any questions we had. Wonderful stay!

A nature lover’s dream

Suite 204 is the best-kept secret of the beautiful Villas Casa Loma, nestled in the mountainside between Playas Flamingo and Potrero. Now that we’ve secured (booked) our stay for next year, we can spill the beans. What can we say to add to the list of detailed and highly accurate five-star reviews other than nothing is as reinvigorating as waking up to the sun rising over the mountain tops in this breath-taking suite, with its high redwood ceilings, full-length windows, surrounded on three sides by balconies, atop tropical dry forests, dramatic sunsets over the grand Pacific Ocean and night skies filled with layers upon layers of stars. We picked oranges from a tree growing within reach of our balcony and conversed with the magpie jays till they got too saucy. We hiked through Igor’s many acres of tropical dry forests—did healthy climbs to the top of the mountain for an incredible ocean view. We spotted howler monkeys, white-tailed deer, butterflies, and geckos. On other days, we relaxed under the bougainvillea-covered pergola by the sparkling pool just below our suite, surrounded by lush and fragrant gardens, with a choice of shade or sun, for quiet times or socializing with the other guests. We took day trips through the countryside. One was up the infamous Monkey Trail, but we chickened out and turned around (see the Monkey Trail Facebook page with daily conditions), discovered barrios, walked the many beaches, and swam in the ocean. Yet, nothing eclipsed our home at Villas Casa Loma. Igor (the owner), Bruno, and their staff made us feel as welcome as family. Getting to know Igor gave us an even greater appreciation for the Villas and the area. Diez Estrellas!

An oasis of peace, very relaxing

What a beautiful, relaxing place to stay for a while! Just a little bit up the hill from a beautiful beach, Villas Casa Lima’s is just lovely. Igor and Tom are so gracious and friendly and helpful, and knowing they created all this beauty is awe inspiring. Our villa was private and quiet, the view of the bay beautiful, the pool just below was so refreshing. We also swam in the lower pool and loved the shade and cool there. We are already planning our return!

Welcoming owners, fantastic view, relaxing.

Villas Casa Loma is a great place to kick back and relax. Our room, Suite 204, had a wrap around deck enabeling us to sit in or out of the sun, depending on the time of day. It is a studio, i.e. there isn't a separate bedroom, however the bed is separated from the large living area by a room divider. The kitchen and living room area is VERY spacious. There are large floor t ceiling windows /patio doors on 3 sides of the apartment offering a spectacular view of the bay.! (I expect that this room would get quite warm during March so using the a/c would be necessary at certain times of the day. There is an extra charge for this, as is common in Costa Rica. The pool area has shaded and sunny areas, is well maintained, is , and a good size for swimming. Because this is a small complex it's easy to meet other guests around the pool and socialize. You do need a rental car to get to restaurants, shops and the beach unless you are an avid walker. It is located on a hill (loma). The owners made our stay extra special. They go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and happy. I would recommend Villas Casa Loma to travellers looking for a quiet place with a Costa Rican feel to it. Erma

Truly unique property

The property that Igor and Tom have developed is unique. The way they have developed the mountain side to take advantage of the terrain and use a wide variety of natural materials is wonderful. Our unit had a windows three sides and a wrap around deck. The views were terrific and the airflow kept the unit cool even on the hottest days. If you don't have transportation then the hike to the beaches and groceries etc is a workout, especially the climb back up the mountain. The view was spectacular and mornings and evenings on the deck were wonderful.

You won't want to leave

This place is unbelievable. Large open concept suite. Floor to ceiling windows around three sides provide great views. Have coffee with the sunrise and move to the front for wine and sunset. This place is so private you'll feel like you are alone. The kitchen is equipped with all you need to make breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Missing something? Ask Tom or Igor. They win the prize for best hosts. Yes, other guests will be at the pool but this place is really quiet and luxurious. If you are fit, you can walk to the beach and grocery, and the restaurants. But renting a car is wise. There is a lot to do here from taking a sea cruise , or surf lessons, and great restaurants. This suite is more than a place to park your belongings, it's a vaca all by itself. I have stayed here three times from 5 weeks to three months. I love the view of Playa Flamingo beach and spotting whales or dolphins. Howler monkeys are fun to hear but never intrusive. The mountain and ocean breezes make air conditioner unnecessary but it's there if you request it. Have a problem? Tell Tom or Igor and it will be fixed.

Wonder ocean view and sunsets!

For our tenth visit to Costa Rica (CR), my wife and I decided to try the Flamingo Beech area again because of its access to a wide variety of beautiful beaches, recreation activities and proximity to the Liberia Airport where we could easily pick up and deliver family members who visited us during our planned one month stay. For this visit we were looking for a house to rent again and discovered Villas Casa Loma on-line while researching our travel plans. We decided to stay there and rented a Villa suite. It offered comfortable accommodation and 180 degree views of the mountains and ocean coast where dramatic sunsets are guaranteed every evening. The property is well situated on a hillside and maintained by a courteous staff. The pool areas are perfect for just relaxing and enjoying the sunshine. Owners Igor and Tom are always responsive to answer any accommodation questions you may have or guide you through any recreation, restaurant or adventure planning you have in mind. House/Villa renting in CR may not be for everyone as it often assumes you have access to transportation, are familiar with the region you choose to live and for the most part, prepared move in and take care of yourself. We chose Flamingo because we stayed in hotels and also rented there before. We also decided to rent a car for our stay so we could easily explore the sights whenever we wanted. Alternatively there’s a local taxi service that can also deliver you whenever needed. The kitchen in our suite was fully equipped with everything needed to prepare meals. Grocery shopping is available at a variety of stores ranging from the small local ones that are a five minute drive away to the larger main grocery stores approximately a twenty minute drive away. Air conditioning is available at an extra cost, buy we never needed it due to the cool hillside breezes every evening. Staying in homes/villas vs. hotels in a tropical country like Costa Rica means you are likely to be exposed to various ants and spiders so it’s advisable to have the appropriate spray handy to defend against them. However, other local wild life such as geckos, iguanas and Howler Monkeys were always fascinating to see when they arrived for a visit. We have some great memories of our 2017 Costa Rica vacation and would recommend the Villas Casa Loma to anyone planning either a short or long term rental stay. Ray & Mary Lou Fisher Ottawa, Canada

Fantastic trip to Flamingo Beach

We spent 6 weeks at Villas Casa Loma and loved every minute of it. The owners Tom & Egor could not have been better hosts. They went out of their way to make sure that we had everything that we needed and were available at all times to answer questions and give advice etc on excursions, restaurants, taxis, airport transportation etc. They were invaluable hosts. The property is in a prime location and just as described on the VRBO site. All the suites and villas have fantastic panoramic views of the coastline and the whole complex is very well maintained. We had a car for 2 weeks and then just enjoyed walking down to the beaches (about 5 minutes to the nearest). The beaches in this area are second to none. Outstanding bay after bay from Potrero, Flamingo, Conchal and Playa Grand and no crowds. You have miles and miles of unspoiled beaches just about all to yourself. I was able to do my morning Yoga workout beside the pool with only the sound of the birds and the beauty around me. Both pools are a joy and there are lots of loungers and shaded areas to spend a quiet afternoon with a good book. We would highly recommend Villas Casa Loma and will definitely be returning.

All I can say is: PURA VIDA ! We go here every year for peace and quiet, to see Tom and Igor - along with other long-term visitors that we have met at VILLAS CASA LOMA - are now our best friends. We have been going here for eleven years now. every year we stay longer and longer this year was Dec. 31 to March 18th we wished we stayed longer. we also meet other friends here too who also come back every year. we always have a great time here ,the views here are fantastic from the mountains to the ocean. we have binoculars to see the whales playing in the ocean,the birds in the trees, and also the howler monkeys in the trees were awesome, too. Tom and Igor will do anything to help you the best they can,they will call restaurants for reservations car rentals they will tell you the best places to eat, beaches galore , tours ,etc. You name it they will help you do anything you wish to do. The two pools are huge and beautiful ,lots of greenery, ,palm trees, banana trees flowers.they have different size villas, for one or many. Just ask Tom and Igor they will accommodate you. The area is great for shopping, the grocery store Massaia has everything you would need two minutes by car or you can drive to Tamarido - twenty minutes - a great store there called AM Automercado, has everything from around the world.and you can also surf here or sit at a nice restaurant on the beach and watch.there is so much to do here or just read a book by the pools.we can't wait till next year! Maybe we will stay three months if we can. Thank you Tom and Igor for a fun and wonderful time in your own piece of paradise. John and Keith .

About the host

Hosted by Dr. Igor Svoboda

Dr. Igor Svoboda - retired Veterinarian and Tom Graydon - retired Criminologist & Realtor - have one thing in common: An intense LOVE of nature and all of God's creatures - especially things tropical!
We have always been surrounded by pets and plants, mountains and water, so it was only natural for us to gravitate to this beautiful little corner of Paradise...

Why they chose this property

After travelling extensively through many countries of the world, we came to Costa Rica for the first time more than 30 years ago and instantly fell in love with the nature, people, flora and fauna of this gentle country. Almost 30 years ago (1989) we purchased a very large natural preserve nestled above the Pacific Ocean in a very sleepy, quiet community of Flamingo Beach in the Pacific North-Western province of Guanacaste. We never looked back - never regretted this decision. In fact, we started by building our first house. Then a guest house, followed by a pool. Before we knew it, we had designed and built a unique complex of beautiful Villas with 2 large pools - all built with the highest regard for their tropical surroundings and natural setting. From every window or terrace, one can appreciate the magic of Nature. It has been very rewarding personally for us to create this unique little corner of Paradise!

What makes this property unique

Flamingo Beach is often referred to as the Monte Carlo of Costa Rica's 'Gold Coast' !

Balmy tropical breezes and ionized air coming off the Pacific Ocean are wonderfully healing... The health benefits are astounding!

Come, relax in this healing cradle and rejuvenate yourself!

Enjoy spectacular vistas that will re-energize your spirits!

Join with other international travellers who have found a true sense of peace in this tranquil, gentle land!
