About this villa rental


Lattice House is the ultimate tropical villa. Set in a 60 acre private reserve, 3 minutes above beautiful Playa Hermosa, surrounded by jungle, you will enjoy spectacular ocean views from every room, the decks, and the infinity pool.

Enjoy its unique Bali modern architecture, and custom-designed finishes and furnishings, all imported from Bali. Lattice House was built and has been lovingly maintained as my home, and you will feel as though it is your own private paradise for your stay.

You will have an onsite manager/concierge and an onsite chef to take care of your ground transportation, activities, catered meals, and restaurant reservations, so that you can spend all your time just relaxing and enjoying your stay.

Lattice House is conveniently located half-way between Dominical and Uvita, right off the coast highway. You won’t have to spend your valuable vacation time driving up and down mountain roads to enjoy incredible views and privacy. The reserve encompasses large park-like spaces, orchards, and jungle, with trails leading to numerous streams and waterfalls. In any direction, you see only white water coastline, mountains, or rain forest. On any given day, you may see and hear howler and white-face monkeys, coaties, tayras, agouties, sloths, toucans, aracaries, hummingbirds, parrots, and dozens of other bird species, all from the house decks.
Lattice House is a spectacular place, and I am happy to share it with our guests.

The master king bedroom, one queen bedroom and two full baths are on the main level; two bedrooms (one queen, two twins or one king) and a full bath are on the lower level. There are two sofas in the living room that can be used as additional beds.

Lattice House has all the amenities you expect in a luxury home and much more: partially covered total infinity pool with heated jacuzzi; four covered patios and decks; air conditioning in all the bedrooms; slate and marble floors and bathrooms; lattice work and hardwoods from Bali; outdoor master bath with copper soaking tub; lower floor walk-in outdoor shower; copper and stone sinks; fully equipped, stainless steel kitchen; beautiful furnishings, artwork and accessories.

Lattice House is a unique house in a very special property. We look forward to sharing our piece of paradise with you.

Our family had a fantastic stay at this beautiful house. Close to so many fun activities. Ana was the best concierge and arranged everything for us. She had so much patience with our large family group and several changes we had to make. We all completely enjoyed 2 dinners cooked by Alexandra. Couldn't recommend more highly!

The owner, Patirica was wonderful, she answered all our questions before and after booking. We had to make a change and she made it easy. Thank you, Pat! Ana became our go-to person and she was fabulous! She arranged our ground transportation from/to San Jose airport. One person was delayed and Ana was quick to make arrangements for them. They were scared riding alone, but Ana assured them they were in safe hands. She arranged for Alexandra’s crew to prepare our first meal, it was exactly what we needed. Ana arranged for our car rental, massages, tour activities, wrote up an itinerary and messaged us before each activity. Anything we needed Ana was just a message away! Thank you, Ana! The House is spectacular with plenty of space to yourself or to come together. The view was beautiful, whether relaxing in the pool or hot tub or on the deck, taking in the scenery and sounds of nature. Bring good binoculars and be prepared to share with animals and insects. Recommend ziplock bags for food. The outdoor showers were a favorite! The hike to the Waterfall is strenuous, walking sticks and good hiking shoes recommended. Use insect repellent (especially on the tours)! *READ THE HOUSE BOOK! Highly recommend the Jungle ATV Tour, Guillermo and Alejando were our tour guides, and they were great! And the Chocolate Tour with Ronald. His wife makes the absolute best smoothies! I had to write a shorter version of everything but we HIGHLY RECOMMEND staying at the Lattice House!

Lattice House provided the trip of a lifetime. It was an incredible house. The property was meticulously maintained, beautiful yard and pool and the view was out of this world. It was 2 minutes to Playa Hermosa and is by far the best beach. You can rent an umbrella and loungers at the beach and the kids took surf lessons or you can rent a board. Ana helped plan surf lessons, horseback riding on the beach, ATV tours and the private chef. The private chef was great. The meals were delicious and she left the leftovers in the fridge. Everything was seamless and Ana was prompt in any responses - she even scheduled a rental car to be dropped off at the property and booked us a car to and from the airport. She was fantastic. A true vacation of a lifetime. There is not one negative thing I could say about this stay. It is a must for a true stay in tropical paradise.

Six family members stayed at this AMAZING house for 11 nights. The views take your breath away. What we enjoyed the most was having some drinks in the infinity pool while watching Toucans, monkeys and other wildlife roam about the property. There was plenty of room. In fact we didn't even use one of the bedrooms. We had Alexandra cook 5 dinners and 3 breakfasts for us. That might be my biggest recommendation. We found the prices of going out to dinner to be the same as in the U.S. However we received a better value (and food) from Alexandra. We ate out on the deck most nights. There is always a little stress we feel when vacationing outside our country but Ana and Angie completely removed any and all stress! They had the rental car delivered to the house, they made dinner reservations, help design excursions and then sent reminders of what the days activity was with directions. They also scheduled two massages for the women who said they were terrific. We went on the ATV jungle tour, Osa canopy tour and went to the Manuel Antonio National Park. All HIGHLY recommended! I was nervous at first driving in a different country but found it extremely easy. We split time between Uvita and downtown Dominical which are right on the main road. 4x4 is an absolute must if your dinner reservations lead you to Bar Jolly Roger or Gusto and Scala. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing house with us! You helped create memories my family will never forget!

We had such an amazing time at Lattice House. It really is a special place. I honestly cannot think of anything that could have improved our stay. We were so enthralled by the amount of wildlife on the property, the incredible landscaping and views. The outdoor showers were such a cool experience and its hard to be home and enclosed! Ana has got to be one of the most welcoming humans I have ever met. She was so incredibly nice and added so much to our stay by showing us the house, giving us such valuable information, and always being available for questions and help with anything that comes up. We also very much appreciated the security on the property and staff living on site. I know of several people who had their rentals broken into in this area so it gave us peace of mind to have excellent security in place. The cooking staff was also top notch and we enjoyed the food SO much. They were so kind and everything was perfect. We also very much appreciated the laundry room with so many extra towels and robes as it would take days for things to dry. We kept talking about how the pool was the nicest we have ever swam in. Everything was perfectly clean, comfortable, and the kitchen had literally everything you could need. Sibu Cafe, Scala and the Gastro Park were favorite restaurants in the area. Playa Hermosa was the perfect beach to relax and boogie board/surf at and they have lifeguards! It was a vacation we will remember forever!
