A heated jacuzzi flowing into the infinity edge pool allows you to enjoy the villa day and night.

Amazing week in Costa Rica!
The property is located within the Avenida Pinilla community which includes access to multiple beaches and the clubhouse. The best surprise was having a housekeeper who kept the house tidied up and made amazing breakfast for us each day. The neighborhood is so nice and extremely safe. The nature surrounds you everywhere you go. A truly unbelievable experience for our family!

5 star stay
This property was perfect for our group of 6 (2 parents and four 17-18 year olds). The kids had enough room to spread out and opt for the pool at the house or take the golf cart to the beach club. The daily housekeeper was amazing and she cooked breakfast for us one morning at our request. There are plenty of towels (take your own to the beach club) and amenities. The management team was quick to respond to our requests and helpful. Lola's at sunset is a must!

Perfect house for a short family trip
Villa La Selva was a perfect spot to enjoy Hacienda Pinilla. Joel and Mergie were always available to help in any way they could . Julia, the housekeeper, came in every morning with a smile on her face and kept the house beautifully. Location of the house was perfect - close to JW Marriott and the wonderful Beach Club. We will be back!

New Years in Costa Rica
A great property that we all (9) truly enjoyed. Great communication from Joel and Mergie was a real ROCK STAR with all her help getting us in touch with local vendors (car rental) during a very busy time of the year. The property of Haciend Pinilla has something for everyone and we are already looking forward to returning next year.

Lovely home
House well maintained & very nice as pictured. Housekeeping was excellent & management responsive to our needs. The only downside was a bit isolated so a car is a must. We only had a golf cart which could only be useful to go to beach club or the Marriott. Tennis & pickle ball also nearby by golf cart.

Great house and excellent communication with the property manager
We came here after a stay in tamarindo. The place was very nice and clean. Unfortunately neighbors were pretty loud on a few occasions but when we called they were quite. Only other negative is the bath/shower towels were a bit stinky as if the were not washed in HOT water or not dried enough. Overall is was a very pleasant stay and I would recommend.

Amazing Property!
So glad to have found such an amazing property for our recent stay in CR. Although we’ve been many times, this was our first visit to this particular area and the first time it rained every day! The house was perfect size to keep our family close but give us space (especially on those rainy days) with all the comforts of home. The cleaning service is every day, except Sundays and unfortunately the person assigned to our house was new and not as great of a cook as some of the others from what we understand, but she tried and was very sweet. Highly recommend Chef Garrett who cooked us an outstanding dinner! You can’t entirely tell from the pics but all the showers are 100% outside. While beautiful not always practical with the rain, bats, bugs, and large frogs that want to join you :). The property manager was super responsive and helpful in removing any unwanted guests. Overall great experience 🌟

In awe!
Amazing property. We love our house cleaner (DeAnna) who made us a special breakfast every morning! I’m still in awe that we got to stay in such a beautiful place. Our whole group of 8 LOVED it!!! Would absolutely stay again in a heartbeat. The only downside was the distance and time it took to get to Tamarindo (or to the grocery store). We ended up booking a surfing lesson for my daughter and us adults with Omar (best instructor ever!) and met at Lola’s restaurant. That was so good and the beach was so nice we ended up going there several times and was the vibe we hoped for when visiting CR. Overall felt very safe and loved the people and service

Beautiful Property in Hacienda Panilla
This property is beautiful and very well maintained. Joel did a wonderful job catering to every request we threw at him. He recommended excursions and provided a driver for several dinners. There is also a lot of privacy on this property to enjoy the beautiful deck, spa and pool. We enjoyed the pickleball courts and the Marriott property nearby. My only wish is that there were more restaurant options closer to the property (we did find an excellent pizza delivery option close by - key after a long day of activities). If we did it again, I think we'd have a cook come in a night or two. Thank you to the team and all your hospitality.
