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.

Utterly beautiful

Our group included 4 adults and 4 kids. It could not have been better. The property was clean and fresh. The views were stunning. And the wildlife was so much fun. There is nothing like listening to a rain storm in an open-air house. Our trip/stay was truly special. Memories for a life time. We hope to come back again soon.

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!!!

Amazing getaway in paradise!

Our stay at Casa Dolce Vita was nothing short of amazing! The house is in a great location in Manuel Antonio - walking distance to many shops and restaurants and a short drive to the beach. And the view is absolutely breathtaking! Accommodations were very comfortable for our group of 6. We loved the open-air main floor and hanging out by the pool. The monkey visits were a riot! Planning our trip was easy thanks to the attentive and helpful staff at Escape Villas. We highly recommend the chef service - our meal by Junior was one of the best we had in Costa Rica! Thank you for a wonderful vacation in 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.

Beautiful views!

The house and surrounding area were beautiful! Mina came daily and kept the house in immaculate condition. Ricky and Valerie were invaluable The house had a cell phone with all the numbers we could need :Ricky, Valerie, taxi, Emergency and the grocery store that delivered your groceries to your door! Definitely would recommend. I would encourage you to bring bug spray (we used deep woods off) as the living areas are open end there are no screens. Bedrooms are air conditioned which is the most important. And for those with mobility problems there are spiral staircases between all the floors.

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!

Words Cannot Describe, JUST BOOK NOW

Words cannot even describe the immense beauty of this place. If you have any interest in seeing all of the things Manuel Antonio has to offer (nature, wildlife, food), Casa Dolce Vita is THE place. We stayed with 7 adults and two young kids for a full week and are already counting the minutes until we can book again. From moment one, the hospitality and organization of the staff is just top notch. Our Chef, Stefan, was a completely necessary and luxurious addition to the trip. No hustling around at restaurants, eating at your own leisure, and his food was 1000% better than anything we got on the days we took breaks and ate in town. Every time we ventured out of the house, we wondered why we even left. Why deal with the crowds at the national park when you have sloths, monkeys toucans, and macaws from the comfort of your living room or pool. The monkeys that came to visit daily were an absolutely priceless addition to the experience. We even got in a mango throwing competition with one especially friendly group. I was super worried about the bugs, being the frequent bait for mosquitoes in my group. We came during the early part of the wet season and followed the instructions to leave the fans on and the lights low and it was never a problem. We even managed to rearrange the furniture and net the balcony railing to keep a newly-walking toddler safe in this beautiful tree house (although I wouldn't necessarily recommend if you are the anxious type with babies). This place is live changing. Just book it and don't look back.

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!

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!

BEAUTIFUL HOUSE! GORGEOUS VIEW!

This home is beautifully appointed and tastefully furnished. The views are amazing! The pool is perfect and peaceful. Do not leave anything (and I mean ANYTHING) laying around in the living room because the cutest monkeys will come in and take them away. Ricky was there to greet us and checked in to see if we needed anything. I hope to come back again and stay longer next time!
