About this villa rental

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!!!

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!!

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.

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!

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!

Our stay here was amazing! Been coming to this area with my family of 5 for many years and have stayed in 5 different houses right on this mountain. This is by far the best yet! Thanks for everything Annick, you are a gracious host. And to Beto, you are a kind, helpful and very available property manager. Stayed with 2 families, 11 people in total and there was plenty of room and places to convene or escape. Property is expansive and full of mature flora and fauna with never a dull moment. Sunrise and sunset to be enjoyed every day with amazing ocean and jungle views a constant :) Thank you for making this beautiful place available, we hope to come enjoy it again in the near future!!

Staying at this property was even more special and beautiful than we expected. It sits in a quiet mountain location that overlooks the ocean and the Whales Tail of Uvita Beach can be seen in the distance from the glorious views from the deck and the HUGE windows of the houses. Our group of 11 was two families with children ages 8-17. They all LOVED staying here! Our oldest daughter (17) who has traveled a lot said, "I think this is the best place I have ever stayed at on vacation!" We loved having access to the 3 houses (one main house and two cottages) They are all very close to each other, a few steps a part. So it feels like we all stayed together, yet had some added privacy. It was perfect! The huge kitchen and large outside shaded deck, and the pool were our favorite gathering places. It was amazing to hear the howler monkeys at night. The beautiful birds, trees, flowers, and outstanding mountain and ocean views that surround the house make this a slice of heaven on earth. And the owner and grounds keepers were so hopeful and accessible for any questions and help. They give us A+ customer service. We are active travelers so during the days we traveled 20 minutes south to Uvita (for surf lessons and the snorkeling boat tour to Cano Island) and we traveled north an hour to Quepos (for deep sea fishing) and Manuel Antonio National Park (for hiking, beach, and zip line tour at Canopy Safari - my favorite!!). The location of this property was awesome for these once in a lifetime adventures. When we returned from deep sea fishing, we were able to grill our fresh catch of Mahi Mahi on the outside grill on the deck. If you wants some great help reserving these special activities, I suggest checking out "Two weeks in Costa Rica" blog on line. Jennifer is very familiar with the Dominical / Uvita area and she scheduled the reservations for us. She saved me a lot of planning time and having her services in combination with us finding this property on VRBO made this a dreamy once in a life time trip for our family! Rachelle

We had an amazing 10 day stay with 2 families. Exceeded expectations. Great location. 2 mins drive to Jolly Roger for beer and wings and 5 minutes to Scala restaurant for some Haut Cuisine. The property is gorgeous and we really enjoyed the hike with Beto. No need for AC has high altitude and gentle breeze makes for super comfortable sleep. This is our 5th visit to Dominical. It’s still our favourite place in Costa Rica. Check out Dominical Adventures for river rafting and surfs lessons. New Fiego restaurant is a must for its super cool setting and craft beer. Annick, our host was most helpful for check in and any questions. Everyone is using WhatsApp so easy to reach. Definitely would stay here again. Thanks again Annick.
