We had a wonderful stay at this villa — it truly feels like a sanctuary.The location is absolutely stunning, the views are breathtaking, and the entire place is designed with so much taste and attention to detail. Everything looked even better in real life than in the photos.We enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, the nature around us, and the beautiful aesthetics of the villa. It’s a truly magical and relaxing place.The only small downsides were the cold pool and the presence of ants, but overall it didn’t ruin our experience.We still loved our stay and would happily return — the place is truly paradise

We arrived to an unexpected fabulous Balinese treehouse. We loved that we had privacy and that our 13 year old had their own casita as well. This would be an ideal place to stay for two couples or a small family but with an older child like us who needs some space. Restaurants close by and the most beautiful beaches!

Stunning design and view!
We really enjoyed the whole experience of staying at Villa Temenos! We loved the architectural design of the houses, the pool and thatched bale. The view down to the beach and the clean waves
Is stunning. The small tourist town of Dominical is a minute away with its shops and restaurants but you you wont see it or hear it from the property, just the sounds of the birds and the sea.

Peaceful stay in paradise
Our stay at Villa Temenos was wonderful. The location near Dominical was just close enough to the basic services we needed but far enough away for us to feel we had escaped to paradise. I was a little nervous about the weather in late November but it was very nice. There were a few short rain showers on just a few days.
The private airport transfer from SJO was easy and relaxing. Amanda J. arranged to have a rental car delivered to the villa and that handoff
was easy. The Villa is very well cared for and Henry very welcoming. Amanda continued to help us schedule some activities throughout the trip and her recommendations were great.

Breathtaking beach view!
Amazing location just up from Playa Dominical. The waterfall pool was refreshing and a must to keep cool in the heat. Walking to the beach is a hike and good for some exercise. I didn’t realize the house kitchen was outside. Pictures online were a little deceiving. The bugs were annoying especially in the lower bungalow. Not sure how they were getting in but they were everywhere. Top bungalow was free from any bugs. Henry the caretaker was awesome at helping us get our bags up and down. He kept the grounds clean too. It was a delightful stay and we were so sad to say goodbye. We wish we would have booked a whole week here. Thanks for a great stay in Costa Rica.

Absolutely Incredible!
My family just returned from a wonderful stay in Dominical, Costa Rica for a family vacation and surf trip! Villa Temenos is a property that will not disappoint. Dean (owner) was easy to reach and quick to respond to questions. He provides a phenomenal guidebook for guests. Definitely read it, as it provides everything you need to know for a well-planned, memorable trip. (Fuego, a restaurant recommendation in Dominical, turned out to be a favorite - the staff were super friendly, the food was amazing, and the fresh-brewed beer was a hit!) Henry (the care-taker at the villa) is an absolute gem! He was so friendly (as are all the people we met in Costa Rica) and helpful. He went above and beyond during our stay! The property is amazing and gorgeous - way to go, Henry! We tend to have very high expectations and have often been disappointed in other VRBO properties we have rented. BUT, Villa Temenos exceeded our expectations - from the high-end wood work and architecture, the location and view, the beautifully appointed spaces, the pristine pool, and the impeccably maintained grounds! If you want to enjoy the truly beautiful nature that Costa Rica has to offer, we recommend a stay at Villa Temenos in Dominical!

An Oasis in Paradise
My husband and I along with two of our friends spent an incredible week at Villa Temenos in Dominical, Costa Rica. The oasis that Dean and Paul have created on this gorgeous hillside overlooking the Pacific Ocean is simply beyond words. The grounds are lush and tropical, the home is so unique and designed to take full advantage of the amazing scenery. With our own private palapas, we were able to enjoy the company of our friends, but we still had all the privacy we desired. Each morning we woke to symphony of birds and enjoyed our Costa Rican coffee from the top deck off of our bedroom, watching the toucans, tanagers and butterflies flutter past. We spent our days exploring the beautiful, uncrowded beaches, watching the surfers and wandering through the little village at Playa Dominical. After a lunch at an open-air cafe, we came home to refresh ourselves in the pool before taking a siesta on the sofas in the bale. In the evenings we took a bottle of wine down to the beach to watch the sunset, then off to dinner at one of the local restaurants. It was the definition of relaxation. We had a few adventures, including an ATV trip with Carl's up a mountainside to see the tallest waterfall in Central America. Carl was a wonderful tour guide and we spent six hours on the ATV's exploring the area, including a gorgeous view of the whale's tale. A hike through the park at Manuel Antonia was breathtaking, with monkeys, sloths and macaw sightings. Don't miss the sea windows at tthe beach just south of Domincal!! Dinner at the Jolly Roger was a treat, with a marvelous view and yummy chicken wings. But, our favorite food was the local fare, including breakfast at Tortilla Flats with huevos rancheros with beans and rice, or the delicious banana bread and fruit salad. Henry, the groundskeeper, was so helpful (once we installed the Spanish translator app onto our phones!), kept the pool and grounds immaculate and even spotted a family of monkeys that he pointed out to us in the trees above the house. The people of Costa Rica are friendly and helpful. We knew very little Spanish, but had no trouble communicating. Shopping at the local markets and bakeries was also an adventure. However, the best part of the trip was returning to our little piece of heaven at night, litstening to the waves and the waterfall off the pool. It was our best vacation ever and we can't wait to go back. Our only complaint is that one week wasn't nearly long enough!!! Thanks guys!

Costa Rican paradise
Villa Temenos is, in a word, amazing. Perched on the hills overlooking the beaches of Dominical, you will feel like you're living in a dream. Spectacular views. Incredible outdoor pool area. You can make meals while you listen to the ocean waves far below. Sit on a balcony listening to birds calling in the trees around you. Seriously, I felt like I was living in a scene from Succession or something. The owner is extremely communicative. The road to the property is steep but paved. The nearby town of Dominical is small but has a lot to offer. The nicest home rental we've ever used, bar none. I am already anticipating our next visit to Villa Temenos.

Pics do not do justice!!
This villa was absolutely what we had hoped and more!! Loved the location, close to town, close to waterfalls etc. The house was in a very private gated subdivision. I’d highly recommend. Keep in mind rental price is just for main bedroom, kitchen and all lower living, including pool. The second bedroom/villa is an additional cost, but they do not rent second villa separate, meaning if you rent the villa you will be the only ones there even if you don’t rent the second villa. Also keep in mind, there are a lot of steps to the villa from drive, it’s part of what makes it so private. It’s beautiful!! If you want a beautiful view, in the jungle with ocean view and close to town, this is your place!!

Perfect Honeymoon
Dean has created a wonderful experience at Villa Temenos. It was a perfect honeymoon base camp or for those wanting a place to park themselves for a week, you’d be very happy. No TV which for us was perfect and a ton of great outdoor living spots. The on-demand water heaters combined with outdoor showers (one is an ensuite you can close the doors to…though the jungle provides all the privacy and zero neighbors so no need) were an extraordinarily relaxing way to wash the salt water off after enjoying any of the amazing beaches in the area though my wife and I were particularly fond of the Whale’s Tail area.
The infinity pool was everything we were looking for and had the most amazing beach / jungle views. Despite two different nature tours, we nearly saw as much wildlife from the canopy of trees that the mountainside Villa hosts. This included Chestnut billed Toucans that we called in using the great outdoor speaker system that made lounging at night that much more comfortable.
The small community felt extra safe with its pin accessed gates and was all a short 2 minute drive to Dominical where we enjoyed great fish tacos and had access to plenty of great grocers including Mama Toucan’s am organic, natural grocer that had it all including the best vegan ice cream (and we’ve tried them all in the States and few compare…truly!).
Check out Fuego’s Brewery for the most established restaurant and Pescado Loco, the little taco stand for great fish tacos, but be wary of the limited hours.
Know that you’re in the jungle and there will be geckos and lizards and bugs but keep the doors closed the bedrooms and you’ll mostly be fine.
To top it all off, the housekeeper, Henry was fantastic. He was very accommodating of our very delayed arrival and had the house extra clean. Having stayed for over a week and seeing how quickly the amazing landscaping, fauna and flora can make a mess of the property, it’s clear Henry’s work is the reason why this place is so spectacular.
We highly recommend and hope to bring our friends and family here in the future!

Slice of heaven
This was our first time in Costa Rica and we loved every bit. The house is incredible, and the town of Dominical is an excellent location with all the amenities you need for a relaxing vacation.
The outdoor living areas of the house are really special. Being that connected to the jungle and having spectacular views of the ocean were the highlight. Even when it rained it was relaxing to just sit and watch the storms come in off the ocean and hear the rain falling in the forest.
The kitchen is minimal but had most things we needed to cook full meals at home. Be aware that there are no staples provided, so we had to bring everything in, including olive oil, spices, etc.
We explored the nearby waterfalls, we took surf lessons from an excellent instructor at Costa Rica Dive and Surf (bob, a retired California pro surfer) had great food at cafe mono Congo and phat noodle. Most dominical restaurants have great vegan options. And there’s a small market with tons of organic and vegan selections.
The only disappointment was that a construction site directly across the street was active from 6am to 5pm daily, and while it provided entertainment when we tried of watching the surf, it was hard to escape the grinding and hammering during the day (the house being mostly outdoor living). I imagine the heavy construction will be finished within a couple of months and this won’t be an issue for future visitors.
Overall an amazing home in a beautiful place with great hosts.

Paradise found!
If you are looking for beautiful lush gardens filled with sweet fragrances, delicate flowers, colorful plants along with the jungle sounds of tropical birds, insects, and reptiles, then this is the place for you! In the middle of it all is the most amazing pristine pool with various levels of depth and lounge areas to while away your days in relaxation, privacy, and comfort. We used the blender to make fruit juices from locally sourced fruit and there is fine cutlery, dishes, and a wine opener for your dining pleasure because you may choose to never leave this sanctuary! The bed is luxurious and comfortable and the bathroom is beautiful and well stocked. The walk in closet has a humidifier that is quite handy in the humidity of the tropics here. Henry quietly goes about his work early every morning to keep everything perfect for you. If you are a nature lover, like us, but enjoy luxury and exceptional comfort too, like us, then you won't be torn with the choice of one or the other when you choose Villa Temenos. When you traverse the stairs into this garden of Eden you may be transformed! We were!

A Return to Our Happy Place
This was our second trip to Villa Temenos and we didn't make the mistake of staying anywhere else this time spending two weeks in this singularly spectacular sanctuary.
I believe I was the very first person to review the property. Dean is a dream to work with. I love waking each morning to Henry keeping the grounds perfectly groomed. He is full of great information about the flora and fauna. I love that there is great wifi and tons of places to charge your electronics.
Temenos is a magical place. It was designed with the utmost care and consideration. It's not trying to be in the South of France or Italy. It was designed to be right where it is at the very tip of the South Pacific 300 feet above the beach.
You need to understand that you are in the jungle in a developing nation. This isn't a five star hotel. It's a five star home. There is a difference. Things happen in a jungle. It's constantly trying to take back the perfect grooming to the wild, but that's what makes Temenos so spectacular. I recommend this property to anyone who wants to experience complete beauty and serenity in nature.
You absolutely need a four-wheel drive to get up the hill and the driveway. It's close to the cool little town of Domincal, but after dark we rarely left the property because the Bale was the place to be. This is my dream home. I recommend this property to everyone I can. It was great for the four of us. The lower palapa has its own fridge and coffee maker if your guests don't want to come up to the living room in the morning to make coffee. There's a new micro-brewery in town. Phat Noodle, the sushi bar and the fish and chips place were all new since when we were at Temenos in 2013. I've also determined that the best fried chicken in the world is in Costa Rica. I'm not sure why it's better than all other fried chicken, but if you see a fried pollo shop, get a piece. Yum!
One cautionary note that doesn't deter us from returning. Shake out your clothes/shoes before packing them or putting them on wherever you stay in Costa Rica. We brought home a scorpion in our suitcase. But we had them in every home we stayed at in Costa Rica in the past four years. They aren't interested in harming you. Just don't shove your foot in a shoe they are sleeping in.
I'll be back soon dear Villa Temenos. I can't live long without returning to my favorite place on earth.

Beautiful grounds and pool
Our overall rating of Villa Temenos is very good. The views from the upper BR and balcony were amazing. We also saw Toucans, white faced monkeys and several different types of lizards and iguanas around the property. The location was excellent and close to restaurants,grocery stores,beaches and the small town of Dominical. There are also a few things I wish we would have known before our visit. 1. The proximity to the main roadway...unfortunately there is traffic noise during most of the daylight hours and is very noticeable and bothersome as trucks use their exhaust brakes while descending down hill below the Villa. 2. This is a property that is almost entirely outdoor living, the kitchen and lounging areas are on the same level as the pool with a curtain that can be pulled around the kitchen area during nighttime hours. Besides this the property is very beautiful and lush with a view of the beach and ocean below that is second to none. The pool area is gorgeous and we spent many a day just lounging around the property and listening to the waves crashing on the beach. The property is also very well maintained and they have a full time care taker that cleans the pool and grounds daily... Pura Vida!
