This property is amazing. As other reviews have said, the pictures don't do it justice. We spent many days just hanging around the pool relaxing and enjoying the views. If you are looking for your own private resort in Costa Rica, book this property!

The pictures do not do this place justice. It takes your breath away every time you look at it. We had a few storms and the property manager was very prompt to come and handle our water outage. The neighborhood is super safe and secluded with a guard at the gate. Everyone was super friendly. There were restaurants near by which was nice. I would love to visit this property again.

This house is amazing! The views are the best we have ever seen. The property is gorgeous. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed. Be sure to get a 4x4 vehicle!

Panoramica is the best stay in Costa Rica. Great base to work from to see all the local sites. The house is hands down wonderful. I can’t recommend any more highly We saw a ton of wildlife just at the house alone.

This place is even more amazing in person. Wow, what a hidden gem and we are so grateful that we got to share the experience with family and friends. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your fabulous property! Pura Vida

For my first trip to Costa Rica, this stay absolutely set the tone. It was a little tricky getting there, but it was all worth it! I have never been to a more beautiful place! The views were absolutely breathtaking! It was close enough to the essentials like restaurants and grocery stores. If you don’t wanna go into town, just stop by the Jolly Roger for some phenomenal burgers and wings. We ate at the Sibu Cafe and Scala the last day and the food and vibes were amazing! Alexa’s Market had everything you could need. The best part of all they are all located on the mountain. I will definitely stay here again!

Beautiful house and pool. Gorgeous views. You have to drive up a mountain to get there, but you get used to it after a few times. Air conditioned. We loved it.

We loved our stay. Communication prior to our visit was on point, John checked in on us to be sure we had everything we needed, the place was immaculate when we arrived. We spent several days just hanging out by the pool enjoying the view. It was so nice we didn't want to leave. The ride up the mountain was a fun part of the adventure, we had 4x4 (absolutely necessary) so it made it easy. Alamo rental met us at the Quepos airport and they could not have been nicer, we highly recommend. We've already recommended Panoramica to friends and we will be back. This home is a one of a kind, special place.

Truly exceptional. The views are out of this world and exceeded all expectations. Because the house is so high up the weather is always perfect and at least 10 degrees cooler than at the bottom of the mountain. The AC’s work great but we barely used them and only at night! House is equipped with everything you could possibly need and has beautiful landscaping all around. Our stay was perfect and I would 100% come back here! The drive up is rough and steep! Make sure to get a 4x4 vehicle (be aware you have to switch your car into 4x4 mode) and read the instructions on how to get to the house!

This house/property is ideal for a getaway where you want privacy, downtime, natural beauty and yet still have access to loads of fun things to do. The info guide that is provided is the best I have ever seen - our experience was heightened by using the recommendations included. Chef Reinier cooked 3 meals for us that were amazing, we used Jorge at Manuel Antonio, Enrique and Humberto and Santa Lucia Falls and loved the Jungle ATV tour. The house is equipped with everything you could possibly need, the pool is amazing - everything was just great. The road to the house, as many have described, is CRAZY. Our flight got in late and so we arrived 15 minutes after sundown, and just as suggested, arriving after dark is a terrible idea! We had a HiLux which allowed going up and down the road - or hamburguesa alley as we called it - doable.

This was by far the best house/location we have ever been too! The pictures of the views do them no justice! The house is perfect and the outdoor area perfectly match the setting! We will 100% be back the Panaramica!!

Janet and the property manager John provide an excellent rental experience start to finish. The house and the beds are super comfortable (tempur pedic pillows), the kitchen is well equipped, and the AC, water, and wifi all met our needs. The views speak for themselves and make the drive up the hill worthwhile. Invest in a 4 wheel drive car - I had my doubts that this was absolutely necessary, and I'm glad I did. The views are definitely worth the 15 min trip up/down the hill from the main road. Enjoy! I will definitely rent the house again!

Wonderful very very rough ride up even in 4 wheel drive. John house manager very accommodating… lovely flowers. Living room couch not good for older people as it has no support so had to sit on bed when inside . Go to Scala for dinner Mama Tucans for organic supplies

Another amazing week Can’t wait to come back again

Wonderful location with superb views!

We’ve stayed in 6 different beautiful VRBO homes but none of them had a view as incredible as this one. The pool and landscaping was so gorgeous that I ended up with several photos of the same things! The information provided to us ahead of time was super thorough and helpful. This property has 2 bedrooms on the main level and then a separate space below for anyone wanting more space or privacy complete with a 2nd kitchen. This is a great home for a family or a couple. It has everything one needs for a fantastic time in Costa Rica. It is right between the 2 towns of Dominical and Uvita and up the mountain about 10-15 minutes. You will need a 4x4, but that’s part of the fun.

The property is amazing. We had a great stay, and even though it was raining jaguars and javelinas in the afternoons, we loved this place! When we come back to southern CR, we are definitely staying here again:)

Where do I start- fabulous property, clean, updated and views are to die for. The first few days we just wanted to absorb the location, pool and never ending 180 degree views. Well stocked with everything you may need from kitchen utensils, towels, pool equipment, etc. If you experience any issues, John the property manager is helpful, professional and a great individual to provide advice or any information you may need. I would highly recommend a 4 wheel drive vehicle as the trip up the mountain will be much easier and less stressful. There are two restaurants as you drive up to the home. We tried both, Jolly Roger, good place to have a beer and burger and Scala restaurante, a little more upscale. There are a plethora of restaurants nearby from Dominical, Uvita and others locations. We used Reiner as our chef on several occasions, outstanding meals and he gets everything, cooks, serves and cleans up-highly recommend if a chef is in your future.

This place is a little piece of heaven. Booked again for next year

I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our time at Panoramica. The view was just breathtaking. The property was lovely. We even had a few things go wrong and the mananger fixed it that day. Super fast and helpful. We will be back.

Property is amazing, view is breathtaking. Follow instructions and arrive day time, not like we did in dark and heavy rain. Andrenalin - yes, but not worse it. The road is steep and dangerous when you can't see anything. we been there without hot water in washroom one day and few times lost electricity, but when outside is around 30 degrees, who cares about hot water so much. It was our 2 time when we rented villa in Dominical, so this one worse it to so! Also forgot to mention about beutiful garden on top of hill and incredible privacy. You are alone above pacific ocean. Pura Vida !

Stayed here with our two adult children and everything about this place was amazing. We didn't miss a day in the pool and the views will just take your breath away. Plenty of fun things to do in the area and we kept busy. Plan your days so you don't have to drive up the drive to many times and you will want to be here for the sunsets. We had one small issue with an air conditioner and I sent Janet a message. The maintenance man was there to fix the problem faster than he should have been able to drive up the mountain. We also had chef Renier cook for us one night and it was also well worth it. Don't let the drive scare you off. You will not find a better home, view or experience.

We are so happy we made this trip with our teenage kids. This home has space for everyone to be together but also spread out and have their own space. We loved having so many outdoor options to spend our time - upstairs terrace, on the covered patio down below or looking out at the whales tail from the infinity pool. We did encounter a lot of cloud and daily rain so the view was often hindered but early in the morning, when it was clear, it was spectacular! Probably the best on the mountain. The heated pool made enjoying the outdoors in less than ideal weather possible. We enjoyed our stay and both the owner and John, the property manager, were very attentive and helpful solving any issues. We would love to return.

Property needs some updating but overall very nice experience

We loved this property so much that we stayed again on our 2nd trip to Costa Rica! We just couldn’t find anything like it! This area is lush and gorgeous and the house has the most spectacular outdoor living and views! Even the road up is scenic the entire way with a glimpse of a beautiful waterfall, if you watch for it higher up! We have seen other houses in the area and NOTHING compares to the views here! Just stunning! Everyone who came up to the house, friends, chefs, masseuses, nurses for COVID tests…all said they had never seen anything like it! On the road up, we love to stop at the Jolly Roger and the newer Escalares building with a little upscale grocery store (you can get a few American things here, like coffee creamer) and Scala restaurant. After 2 trips now, our favorite restaurants in the area were Mosaic, Beehive, Scala and Fuego Brewery. Sibu has an AMAZING dinner menu and we heard its fabulous, but it was under renovation on this last trip. Highly recommend Panoramica and you may never want to leave the house!

First thing anyone should know is renting a 4x4 in Costa Rica will cost a pretty penny. You absolutely have to have one though to get to this property and many other activities in the area. Please do your do diligence before renting a vehicle. Just Google search renting cars in Costa Rica and you'll find plenty of info regarding this necessity and the insurance they charge. The drive from San Jose Airport was about 3-3.5 hours and it was a lovely country to see. Driving in Costa Rica was a great experience since they do things a little different. No addresses just general locations but GPS navigation still works. They drive on the same side as the US but largely ignore every other driving courtesy. You will want to stay in the left lane unless the road opens to two lanes for a brief passing section of road. Then it zippers back into one lane. Don't get caught in the right lane when it comes to the "CEDA" mark on the road. The merge in instant and semi-trucks are prevalent on the road. There are tolls, costs equivalent of $1-2 US and you can also use your bank/credit card to pay. Pay attention! Traffic patterns and driving habits of locals can get crazy, but if you stay alert and drive defensively you'll be fine. Lots of motorcycles around too, share the road! As stated previously, a 4x4 vehicle is an absolute must to get up the 2km mountain road to access the property. It can be intimidating at first if you've never driven off-road on rocky dirt mountainous roads. It took me about 3 trips before I was absolutely comfortable and confident climbing in our little Suzuki Grand Vitara. 4WD Low will be your friend on this journey to heaven. Now for the cherry on top. When you get to the top of the road and round the bend to the paved driveway of the property prepare for an absolutely breathtaking view. The vista and pool is unbelievable and pictures do not do it justice. The villa itself is wonderful and the breeze is amazing! The temperature was steadily between 72-80° F. The property is well cared for and the decor was excellent. Everything you need is at the villa from towels to dishes, and the owners and property manager are very helpful so don't be afraid to ask questions. There is a binder with information about the area that is extremely helpful and the private chef that was recommended was amazing. Not enough space to express how truly amazing this place was! This trip and experience has us planning to buy and live in Costa Rica! Pura Vida!

Amazing property, amazing location.

House is truly up a 15 minute drive. View well makes up for the drive up, you can see miles! Plenty of dishes and cookware to eat in. Soaps, linens and hairdryer also!

FIrst off, we had issues getting up to the house (I needed to re-learn how to drive up steep hills). Bit most important is the 4WD vehicle. We were short-changed with the car rental in San Jose and ended up with a RAV4, which was just about enough to get up the hill. If you can find a Toyota Prado rent it. At the house the view is frankly stunning, we watched the migrating whales pretty much every day. The pool was fantistic, and likley the best outdoor shower we have ever had. Overall extremely happy with the rental and the house, Janet was very helpful, John the property manager was fantastic, had some really good recommendations, and help get a small issue fixed with the dryer. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Incredible views

Villa Panoramica is absolutely amazing! The pictures of the view from the property simply do not do it justice. My family and I have traveled all over the world, and this has been our favorite rental to date! The view from the expansive deck, and pool will leave you speechless. I would spend every morning sitting outside listening to the Howler monkey's and watching different species of birds sail by. One morning we even saw a sloth in a tree next to the driveway! It was also unbelievable to watch the clouds literally roll into the villa and pass through as quickly as they came. The accommodations were very comfortable for myself, my husband, and two children. We didn't use the separate bedroom downstairs, but it would be perfect if there was a group of 6. John, the property manager, was very friendly and responsive and would check in with us periodically. Janet, was also quick to respond and gave great recommendations regarding excursions, private chefs, and restaurants! We had Chef Reiner cook us dinner twice and highly recommend his services! His seared Ahi, and lobster are a must:) We also highly recommend booking the cliff jumping/waterfall excursion with Andrew at Ranch Diandrew. It was one of the highlights of our trip for sure. As far as the location goes, you definitely need a 4x4 . The drive took between 12-14 min from the main hwy and added to the adventure of the trip. There are two restaurants on the road up to the house and we highly recommend both. The Bar Jolly Rodger has epic wings and burgers, and the upscale restaurant Scala (recently opened) has craft cocktails and an expansive menu! We ate there twice during our stay and cannot wait to go back. There is also a small grocery store and coffee shop next to Scala which is convenient if you forgot something and don't want to go all the way into Uvita. As far as groceries go, the BM supermarket in Uvita had everything we needed and was maybe 20 minutes away. When in Uvita, do yourself a favor, and check out El Hornito! They have the best empanadas we have ever had, and we stopped there at least 3-4 time during our stay!Overall, we had such an amazing time that we ended up extending our trip by two additional nights! Something we have never done before:) In summary, stop looking at the other rentals and do yourself a huge favor and book Villa Panoramica! You won't be disappointed:)
