This property and staff are incredible! This was a family vacation with our adult children and six grandchildren, fifteen of us in total. Stephen is a wonderful host. He was so quick to communicate, answer questions, and put our mind at ease. The staff were so amazing…kind and accommodating. The only draw back was the trek to get to and from activities. So know that going in. However, if you want privacy, wildlife, and unforgettable views, the villa has you covered.

Epic Getaway!
We traveled with two other families, 6 adults, 7 kids age 5-16 and had the BEST time here. The staff were all so gracious and friendly. Esteban is a complete gem. He helped us learn about Costa Rica, taught us about all the plants and wild life, helped us with our Spanish and was just generally a joy to have present. We went horseback riding at the falls (definitely recommend) and went to Manuel Antonio national park (also recommend with a guide!). We had dinner cooked for us several nights and ate at a couple of the local restaurants. Mirador Los Chorros (on the hill at the turn) was one of our favorites:) can’t say enough great things about this spot. We’re already scheming for how we can make it back!

Amazing Villa and Fantastic Staff Fantastic!!!
We chose this property because it was beautiful, secluded, and would accommodate our family of twelve adults ranging in age from 55 to 90. When we arrived, we were amazed by the Villa, foliage, and views. Our host, Stephen, who was very responsive to our questions before we reserved the property and throughout the process, was there to meet us. We also met the wonderful staff that would be with us throughout our stay. Esteban, Yenesi, Sophia, Juan Jose, and Alonzo were attentive to all of our needs and requests. The breakfasts and dinners were delicious and served like we were in a fine restaurant! We spent most of our time at the Villa, enjoying the various seating areas that afforded the opportunity to see wonderful views of the fantastic birds of Costa Rica, guided walks around the property, stunning views of the valley and forest surrounding us, the pool, and garden spa. Juan Jose arranged for nine of us to visit Nauyaca Waterfalls. All of us visited San Gerardo de Dota hoping to see the Resplendent Quetzal, which we didn't see, but we did stop at Savegre to have lunch and enjoy the gardens full of gorgeous hummingbirds. One day eight of us headed to Arco Beach to enjoy the hike to the ocean to see the caves. We saw birds and White-faced monkeys along the way and enjoyed drinks and food at La Cusinga afterwards. Two members of our family enjoyed walking the Whale Tail in Uvita. We fell in love with the place and the Staff! Our Mom was treated like a Queen. Pura Vida!

Spring Break Getaway
Villa Los Aires is simply breathtaking! Esteban was outstanding as were the housekeeper and the cook. The main concierge was hands off and really left most of the heavy lifting to the staff on site who stepped up and showed us an amazing time! All three of them took great care of us showed us all the wonders that Costa Rica had to offer on the property… the river, the waterfalls, and all of the amazing creatures of nature. Even when some of the group wasn’t feeling great Esteban stepped in to make sure our needs were met, and everybody was on the mend. I highly recommend the property and its staff if you want I truly amazing stay. A couple items of note: the road to the villa is quite mountainous so if you are someone who suffers from motion sickness, be prepared. Also, hot water is sometimes not abundant in the showers, but with the heat and humidity, the cooler showers were often welcomed.

This place is beyond amazing!!!!!!
My husband and I stayed in this beautiful home for 8 whole days for our delayed honeymoon and what a treat! The place is unbelievably gorgeous! The house, the view and the property, we were in awe! The staff went above and beyond to take care of us. They cooked for us, cleaned, did our laundry, we were so spoiled by the time we left! They helped us figure out what to do and where to go and were exceptional. We made some great memories and plan to return and take the whole family! I cannot say enough about how much we loved it and what a fantastic experience it all was.

BEST VACATION EVER!
There are so many great things to say about Villa Los Aires that I don't even know where to begin. The staff Esteban, Yesinia, Yinnery and Juan Pablo our driver were unbelievable. The breakfast and dinners were incredible and Esteban helped us book all of our excursions. Esteban took us on a couple of property "jungle tours" which were unforgettable. We saw toucans, a sloth, and howler monkeys right from the backyard. The amount of wildlife that you see from the house alone is indescribable. Stephen the host responded to all of our questions inquiries very quickly. My Family and I cannot wait to come back. If you are looking for the true Costa Rican "Pura Vida" experience look no further.

Too good to be true… but it is!
I read the property details and thought there had to be a catch. But there isn’t. It’s perfect. A true vacation for EVERYONE. Even Mom. Usually a Vrbo with 4 kids (adults now) is just a house in a different place. Mom still has to mom. But with the staff at Los Aires i got to relax too! They picked us up from the airport. The villa was immaculate. The staff amazing. We had them cook four of our dinners as it was less expensive than a restaurant. Food was excellent. They made accommodations for our picky eaters. The view is gorgeous. Toucan. Hummingbirds. Mono Congo. Waterfall. I could return every year. The hike to the swimming area of the river was tricky. Hiking boots a must. Water shoes recommended. Esteban is our new best friend. He is wonderdul. They have two seasons rainy and dry. Go for dry. Rent a car with four wheel drive. This villa is secluded. If you want nightlife and walking access this isn’t the place for you. If you want to relax. Delicious food. Kind service. Clean rooms. Hikes. Waterfalls. Perfect views. Secluded sanctuary. This is exactly what you’re looking for. 9 adults. 16–54yrs everyone had a fantastic time.

Amazing Lifetime Experience
Our family of 9 adults and 7 children was thrilled with our time at Villa Los Aires. The house and environs are to die for with a great pool, wonderful accommodations (air conditioned bedrooms, clean, comfortable, quiet), gathering places, endless views, great hot tub, incredibly private, and an exceptional staff....... The extended property even better with hikes, waterfalls, a river, birds, and natural beauty. The only downside of this adventure is the "getting there." It is a four wheel very bumpy and long ride in and out of the property. But, if it is adventure you are seeking, that is not enough to discourage.

A wonderful experience
We used the entire main villa for a retreat and we were treated to a wonderful experience. Esteban and his team were very engaging, and provided excellent service - especially when we extended our stay a few days.
We were guided to waterfalls, were sent pictures of the animals we saw while there, and were made sure to have rides when needed for our entire party.
We will definitely use Villa Los Aires again.
The only challenge was the water pressure in the shower in the tower room. It was only a trickle of water most of the time

Although we had nonstop rain, our stay at the villa was amazing! Transportation was as prearranged and we are so grateful for the drivers getting us to the villa and to activities. Juan Jose, the manager, was easy to communicate with regarding meals and arranging activities. Esteban, the host, is a great source of information about the local flora and fauna(and a fun domino player), Yesenia kept the villa spotless as well as providing amazing meals with Yinnery. They were also kind enough to let a couple of us in the kitchen for a cooking lesson of local dishes(and kept their smiles!). We will definitely come back to enjoy this piece of paradise!

Shout out to enry and Norma at Dominical Adventures for the best surf lessons and instructors.
Beyond everything we could have hoped for....we even met the owner while he was working on the property.

A little piece of heaven
We were a family of 7 so lots of space for all! After a long nighttime drive we arrived to this beautiful home, greeted by the amazing staff and owner. It really is a wonderful home and property where great memories were made and everyone one unwinded and relaxed and enjoyed the amenities the property offered. We did a few excursions - zip lining, ATVing, Beach and National Park but looked forward to returning to our”Costa Rican” home.
The property has lots to discover - Esteban took us on a couple of hikes to the waterfalls - he is a fountain of information and we learned a lot about the fauna and flora.
Breakfasts were delicious and plentiful . The beauty of this place, besides the scenery, is the amazing staff who were there for whatever we needed and felt like family during our stay. They went over and above, from changing a flat tire to being up for three who had to leave for home at 5:00 a.m. and having coffee and breakfast for them (told them not to get up - we would grab something ourselves) but there they were with big smiles on their faces.
This was a true Costa Rican experience and would highly recommend it to everyone. I will warn you to be prepared for the drive to the property, 4 wheel drive a must - but isn’t this a part of the whole experience!

This is an absolutely amazing property. Pictures can’t do it justice. After a long ride from the airport to get there, we stepped onto the front porch all of our jaws dropped. We couldn’t believe we were staying in this place.
Amazingly friendly and helpful staff, the property with these awesome hikes down to the river in the waterfalls.
Unless you’re familiar with Costa Rica would definitely encourage you to rent the vehicle from the concierge or he will personally show for you wherever you want to go. He also help make any type of reservations, meals and anything else.
Can’t say enough about the staff. Just double.

New Years family vacation
What a unique experience staying in a house surrounded by jungle. From the moment we arrived we were met by Esteban, who throughout our 8 day stay took care of our every need. The house is located on approximately 60 acres of lush vegetation that includes several waterfalls and streams. Howler monkeys and Toucans are common on the property. You can spend 2 days just exploring the waterfalls without leaving the property. There is also a wonderful pool to enjoy during the heat of the day.
We had 17 people in our family group and still had room to stretch out. Yinnery is the cook that provides breakfast every morning and also will cook dinner on request. Her dinners are fantastic so I highly recommend booking her for some of your meals. The house cleaner is awesome, she cleans every room every day and the floors in the common area throughout the day. Juan is available to book excursions at your request.
You will need a 4x4 vehicle to get to the property but it’s a great adventure driving to the house. The beach is a 20 minute drive and there are several restaurants close by. Overall this is a great property for fun and relaxation.
