An Architectural Masterpiece in a Paradise Setting
We've coined a term called 'Casual Elegance', which is to say that Villa Encantada (Enchanted Villa) has an upscale, enchanting, magical presence to it. It is decorated in a Central American theme of Antiques, Indigenous Masks, colorful tapestries, and lots of glass to give the feeling of being immersed in nature. Relax and enjoy our manicured gardens with Natural swimming ponds and waterfalls. Fish for Rainbow Bass right in your own backyard for the most memorable experience of your Costa Rican vacation, yet local activities and Easy Day Trips to top attractions are well within reach. This is the truly the Best of Both Worlds! We've been sharing our "Slice of Paradise" at Villa Encantada for 15 years now and have hosted thousands of guests, a great many of them have visited numerous times, as well as referring their friends and family. Almost without exception we hear again and again~~ 'This place is awesome and we'll be back'. It's our pleasure and we're proud to be a part of your travel experience.
