About this property

Located on ::: Escaleras Road ::: the most scenic and pristine road in the area, this unique property offers plenty of privacy, wildlife, fruit orchards, waterfalls and streams set on 260 acres. Villa Chill's main house includes a swimming pool, open kitchen, 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The 2 adjacent guest houses each have 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

Located 900 ft. (275 meters) in elevation & a mile from the ocean, Villa Chill has a regular breeze and inspiring ocean views all year around, all day long.

The environment feels less like a salty beach & more like a refreshing rain forest. Yet there are excellent beaches for family walks, horseback riding and others for surfing - all within 10-20 minutes from our doorstep.

Toucans live in the trees around Villa Chill. It is not uncommon to see toucans and parrots daily. A wide array of wildlife lives in the property including howler monkeys, parrots, 3-toe sloth and many other species. During the rainy season eagles perch nearby.

This property has many types of fruit trees including an orchard located in the valley below the villa and depending on when you're visiting, various fruits from the property are provided for your sampling.

If you're ready for serious hiking and bring the appropriate gear, we can arrange a guide to take you through our pristine jungle to see what few people have the opportunity to see.

Ideal for FAMILY GATHERING or YOGA RETREAT!!!

Lost in paradise

Wow!! What an amazing property… When you enter through the gates you find yourself winding through the lush jungle until you arrive at the villa. Once you arrive you start to understand what a special property this really is. The views are magnificent, there are trails all around the property that allow you to see all types of different vegetation and wildlife. Not far off there is an amazing outdoor yoga studio that has a beautiful stream of water that runs through it. Annick and her team were amazing to deal with and we are so grateful for the time we got to spend here. Don’t hesitate on booking this one!!

Villa Chill with the view

We were a party of 8 who had different agendas for our stay. Our days were spend on and off the property, with most meals eaten on the patio overlooking the pool and the view. We began our visit with a boat tour of the Sierra River, a must for those of us who were returning to Uvita for the third or fourth time. Many changes in the area since 2020, our last visit. A lot more development, and the weather was different in that we experienced rain several times, and clouds, not the case on past holidays in the same time period. The master bedroom is wonderful .. our guests used the two cottages as well, so everyone had lots of privacy. We saw some lovely birds from the terrace, also heard howlers, saw several agoutis and coatis, as well as a small herd of peccaries (wood pigs, on the road). We did hire Beto for a couple of walks of the property and a night walk. We saw few animals this way - the trails are really roads, through the property and the hike to the view, only a few of us did it, was quite difficult and strenuous. Not recommended for over 70s or if you are not fit. For negatives, only a few .. the road coming up is really quite challenging (we live on a dirt road in Canada with hills and ice/snow) .. this is dust and twists and grinding hills, coupled with a lot of ATV and truck traffic. A GOOD SUV is needed. There were some issues with the entrance (gate not functioning)at the end of our stay but any issue was always dealt with quickly by Annick.

Absolutely PERFECT for our retreat!

The view and property are absolutely stunning! We loved the privacy, peace and quiet. Having so many pristine acres helped us all feel cocooned in beauty and calm for our retreat. Annick was so wonderful and helpful in all of her communications. The kitchen is super well-stocked for a private chef to come in and make meals. Beto, the property manager, was so helpful and guided our group on a lovely hike. We were so happy here and wish we had stayed longer. I would definitely love to host more retreats here! Thank you!

Fantastic Vacation in Beautiful Place

We spent 3 nights in Villa Chill and had a fantastic time. We had a group of 8 and everyone had their own bedroom. There is room for many more. The place was very clean and accomodating. Great kitchen and open spaces with a fantasic deck and pool. Basically you are staying in a nature reserve. In the time we were there we saw tons of animals including: Coatis, Tapirs, Monkeys, Bats, Tucans as well as many other birds. There are beautiful hikes on the grouds that include over 250 acres. The views are magnificant and you are close to wonderful beaches and the towns of Uvita and Dominical. It could not have been better for us. We loved it!

About the host

Hosted by Annick & Jason

We've traveled the world, and have spent a lot of time in Southeast Asia, Brazil and Southern Europe. Our place will compete with any of these locales.

Why they chose this property

The southern part of Costa Rica is ideal for our children to experience nature and explore the abundance of wildlife, trees, flowers and birds of the area. We fell in love right away when we came to visit this farm for the first time in 2006. As soon as we learned that this property was for sale, we bought it right away as we knew that this will be rare gem that our children and their families could enjoy for years to come.

What makes this property unique

The privacy is unparalleled. Nowhere else will you find a house for rent that is surrounded by the rain forest, yet with killer ocean views and restaurants a short drive away.

Ideal for YOGA RETREAT, FAMILY GATHERING or ADVENTURE HIKERS !!!
