vacation rental description

A Home as sensual as its setting - avant-garde minimalist architecture and prize-winning "Metropolitan Home of the Year".


Villa LunaTica and its Guest-House can comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests, even up to 14 when combined with our beautiful small house, the VILLITA - inquire about combination rates!

.

Perched on a steep tropical hill-side above the Pacific Ocean, just minutes north of famous Manuel Antonio National Park, this stunning architectural gem showcases an inspired modern spin on Jungle Geometry:
The Villa's spine - 2 immense almond beams - is supported by a double row of massive columns that march through the tri-level "great room" to a panoramic window-wall, marking the increase in ceiling height from 14 - 24 feet, as the space steps down.
From the entrance porch, strikingly sculptured stairs either levitate to a lofty mezzanine and further up to the master suite and sun-deck above, or widen as they flow down to the kitchen/dining level and the living room below - always inviting to double as seating.
The vast floor-to-ceiling glass facade opens to a water-edged living terrace shaded by 3 smartly suspended sails, while high cedar doors attend the side-wing-suite on the right side of the living room level.
LunaTica was designed to be in tune with its tropical landscape - open to the sea-breezes, the scent of ylang ylang trees and the ever-changing light of its rainforest environment. Rooms extend onto expansive balconies, patios and hammock-strung terraces, while the magnificent infinity pool is carved into the hillside and embedded in lush tropical vegetation - shimmering sea views from everywhere  -  Extreme Comfort Zones !

White walls and sand-colored polished cement floors are offset by playful splashes of color - sun-drenched orange, reds and fuchsia, black concrete kitchen counters and richly grained native woods.
A haven completely calm and serene contrasting the abundance of the jungle's greenery - boldly simple in its furnishings and always sophisticated in its fusion of honest materials and textures - concrete, steel, glass, granite, slate, flagstone and plenty of local hard-woods.

Minimal in decor and yet rich in space, light, ideas and imagination.


LOCATION:

COSTA RICA, Called "Switzerland of the Americas", a safe and peaceful democracy  -  no army since 1948 !


CENTRAL PACIFIC COAST


QUEPOS  (25 min. flight from San Jose / 3 hours by car)

traveler reviews for this manuel antonio/quepos villa rental

Breath-taking, both inside and out

KristaCO (Colorado, USA)
Review submitted: January 19, 2010   Date of arrival: February 6, 2009

My boyfriend and I just got back from our stay in Costa Rica, and our stay at Lunatica absolutely defined the relaxation of our stay; we found that every detail throughout the villa had been addressed to ensure our comfort.

The villa is beautiful - an architecture lover's paradise - and photos absolutely do not do it justice. The villa itself is absolutely breath-taking and reflects an obvious dedication to design integrity, elemental innovation and environmental inspiration. I am awestruck by the villa's details, particularly the liberal use of almond and confident use of space. It's absolutely gorgeous. (When I asked the property manager, Thomas, for the name of the architect, I was further impressed to hear that the owner himself, Ralf, desgined it.)

Thomas, by the way, does a marvelous job; he's brilliant at choreographing all the little details of managing the property while maintaining an air of ease and charisma. He had answers to every question and obviously knew both the property and the area intimately. (My only constructive suggestion is that, for smaller groups, perhaps guests can have flexibility in the frequency of the maid.)

Other than that, everything was perfect. Villa Lunatica was exactly what we were looking for and served as the perfect location for relaxing and absorbing the environment. I could not hold a higher review of it.

All our best,
Krista and John

p.s. - we saw monkeys on the property every single day during your stay at Lunatica - close enough to touch and feed. I can almost assure you that you will too.

Wonderful house!! Fantastic staff!! Best vacation ever!!

Lauren (Charleston, South Carolina)
Review submitted: April 14, 2013   Date of arrival: March 23, 2013

My husband and I got married in Costa Rica and we were fortunate enough to have the LunaTica as our gorgeous backdrop! The home was more than large enough to accommodate both of our families and everyone had their own private spaces all with fabulous views. The views of the ocean, the rainforest, and the wildlife are sights you truly must see for yourself! The photos, as great as they are, still don't do this house justice. The architecture is like nothing you will ever find in the states.

The wonder of this house doesn't end with the architecture and views because the staff is out of this world! We LOVE Thomas! He was professional and so helpful from the very second Ralf put me in touch with him. And never grew tired of my incessant emails as I was trying to plan wedding thousands of miles away. From the moment we arrived, He was there to make sure we felt welcome and to see that we were settled in. He was there every time any issue arose! And la piece de resistance, sweet Thomas drove 30 miles outside of Quepos to retrieve tables for my wedding reception! What a guy!! Talk about going over and beyond the call of duty! Hazel, the maintenance man, and housekeeper were also fabulous, helpful, and accommodating! They are a fantastic staff!

Another jewel at this house is the chef! Marisol and her husband are incredible!! My husband and I usually enjoy trying out new restaurants when we travel but elected to have a chef with this trip because of the large number of people we had to accommodate. This was the best decision we've ever made! Having someone prepare your meals after you have had a fun day and not having to get all dolled up to go out and then they clean while you devour the gourmet delictibles, is priceless! The food was unbelievable!

I can not say enough wonderful things about this house! Ralf, the owner, was a pleasure to work with. Thomas and the staff are delightful. And the house is incredible! We will remember this trip forever!!

Great villa in the jungle!

Pontus S. (Stockholm)
Review submitted: January 18, 2013   Date of arrival: January 5, 2013

Spectacular view, the master apartment on the top is stunning. A pool 30 meters down in the subterrain towards the sea is like an oasis amidst the jungle hosting humming birds, monkeys and sloths all around...awesome!
