I stayed at Villas Casa Loma for two weeks while studying at the language school in Flamingo.. I was so happy to be away from the crowds in Flamingo. It’s very laid back and welcoming with beautiful grounds and pools. The best part was relaxing on the deck at sunset and watching the sun disappear into the ocean. A wonderful memory.

We stayed in suite 401 for 6 weeks. When compared with other rentals of similar quality this place was a good deal. Nice owners on site, nice cleaning staff and hard working grounds keepers. The place is kept clean and the gardens are really nice. The 2 pools are much better and bigger than what you will find in most places. Whenever we had a problem, the owners made sure someone was sent to our unit to take care of it. If we were to come back we would consider suite 501 as it is right next to one of the pools yet very private. We had a great time there and met a lot of nice people. The area is filled with good restaurants but we mostly ate at the house as vegetable/fruit places are numerous and full of fresh produce which we loved! Make sure to checkout the sail boat tour by Serendipity tours. We took the tour and it was extremely pleasant, worth every penny, aboard real sail boat. Also try to make it to El Viejo for a boat tour on the rio Tempisque where we saw plenty of wildlife (plan for high tide). Then take a drive south to Playa Junquillal but don't tell anyone about this hidden gem. Enjoy!

We have stayed here three times and plan on returning...Igor and Tom- and their staff- keep the property and grounds in spectacular condition....There are two pools, maintained exquisitely, and from different places, views of the Pacific. The Villas are conveniently located respecting beaches, restaurants, and markets.My daughter and her husband visited and were also pleased...A great retreat from Northern winters...or any place...

likes nice location, nice owners and left you alone. dis- likes the fridge was not clean, microwave had old food in it. some of the dishes were dirty. I have stayed many places in costa Rica and understand the cleaning people are not great on detail but more supervision is needed. we got a change of bath towels once in the week we were there. the slider in the living room was worn out and did not open properly so we just used the one in the bedroom. the window curtains probably were never washed, in all a little worn out and in need of a good cleaning.

One of the secret places of Costa Rica! You will not regret choosing Villas Casa Loma for your next vacation. Accommodations are all unique, spacious and comfortable. There is something for everyone. (one of our favorite activities was to settle in with a glass of wine on our spacious covered terrace and toast the sun setting over the ocean each evening.) Consider the fabulous sunsets, the wealth of wildlife, the friendliness of the 'locals' and expats, the fascinating things to see and do! Thank you Tom and Igor for making Villas Casa Loma such a special place to relax in! The pools, views, area activities, the fine restaurants, the friends we met ... All special... We will always remember our stay there with relatives and friends from Europe. From the moment we got off the airplane we did nothing but smile and laugh. What a great vacation! There is so much to see and do in the area of Flamingo Beach. We hardly scratched the surface, but kept very busy during our 2 month visit to Costa Rica. We are all planning to return for the fun and the friendships. The beaches are just the start for a wonderful tropical experience. Foodies will love the huge selection of great restaurants in the area. Active individuals will certainly enjoy - as we did - the many options for activities on both land and in the water. We fished offshore one day and had a fabulous time. The next day we went for a day trip to some fascinating local villages, took a spectacular river cruise, ate delicious local food and bought indigenous souvenirs for friends back home. Other days we either relaxed by one of the pools, visited various beaches of the area and snoozed in the shade of the palms that dot the property. Much to do! We highly recommend this property. Perhaps we will meet you there on our next trip.

We loved our villa!! We woke up to the most beautiful ocean view through vibrant bogavalya flowers! Enjoyed the best Costa Rica coffee by the pool each morning! Ended each day watching beautiful sunsets with a cold Imperial!! Doesn't get much better than that!!

In 2012 we went on the internet to look for accommodations for our trip to Costa Rica. We wanted some place beautiful, relaxing and near a beach. We found Villas Casa Loma and with fingers crossed booked two weeks. When we arrived in January of 2013 Tom and Igor were waiting to greet us and to show us their little piece of paradise. The grounds are gorgeous with beautiful plantings, two lovely 40 foot pools and many little terraces and private areas to sun and relax. Each morning we were greeted with the sounds of the Howler Monkeys as they journeyed up the valley and heard them again each evening as they returned. We were enchanted with the birds, the flowers, the spectacular views. We had an amazing two weeks. We returned in January 2014 for a three week vacation and were once again delighted by our accommodations (this time a two bedroom villa on the lower part of the property). It was like staying in a friend’s guest house, warm and inviting. We met other guests (some of whom have been coming back for many years and other first timers). Villas Casa Loma is a beautiful property in a great location, close to good restaurants. You can walk to the beach, grocery store, and even into the town of Flamingo. This property lends itself to the laid back tourist who wants all the comforts of home in a tranquil environment. We are planning a return visit in January 2015. I would highly recommend Villas Casa Loma and Tom and Igor as wonderful hosts. Gayle & Barry Oshawa, Ontario
