We really couldn’t be happier with our stay here. David was so welcoming and helpful, the house and views were stunning, and the rooms were all very comfortable. We have nothing negative to mention whatsoever. Thank you so much for making our stay so wonderful!

So far the best home we have stayed
We do family reunions in Costa Rica for 16 family members and this has been the best place so
Far and the one we would certainly consider
To return. From the moment I booked, David was very committed to answer our concerns. We have a special needs child and he did all he could to make sure we were properly attended on what was needed. He promptly answered our requests and suggested places to go that were wonderful. The house is simply amazing! With a large and functional kitchen, a pool and jacuzzi and grilling area that won’t disappoint. The views are stunning and we spotted different birds and monkeys by sitting on the terrace. House is perfect for entertaining, rooms are huge and comfortable. The beds and pillows made us feel
Like we were home. I certainly recommend you give it a try. Using Waze we were able to arrive without getting lost, there is a bit of a hill so make sure you are prepared for that. The town is close enough with restaurants and hotels near by with all kind of cusine. Groceries stores are within a 20 min drive were you can find american products. If you come from
San Jose, beware with the traffic and be prepare to have a possible longer commute. If you come from
Liberia, you are golden. You won’t be disappointed!

Great stay in Costa Rica
Had a mixed family group and we had a great time. Plenty of space to spread out. Convenient access. The listing was everything it was supposed to be. Communication was easy, David was quick to respond. Loved the Mot-mot and Trogan, and Monkey on the back yard.

Million Dollar View
Villa Duranzo exceeded our families expectations! The outdoor area was perfect for our family and the view overlooking the bay was amazing! We were a family of 12 ranging from ages 18-80 and the house boasted plenty of space for everyone. We spent relaxing time at the Villa combined with fun excursions booked by David, the property manager. David was a tremendous resource and took care of everything from transportation, excursions, chefs, photographer, and even a run to the grocery store. He in an invaluable asset to the Villa and truly made our vacation nothing short of amazing! Thank you for a fabulous start to the NEW YEAR!

Family vacation at Villa Durazno
After a long day of travel we had a quick 20 minute drive From Liberia airport to the Villa. When you walk into the Villa and see the amazing view you’ll know you picked the perfect place for your vacation.
We had 8 adults in our group and there was plenty of room for everyone to have their on space. The veranda and pool was everyone’s favorite place to hang out. We loved the lounge chairs, which we nicked named lemon and avocado. The infinity pool is the perfect place to cool down and makes for amazing sunset photos.
Dave, I can’t say enough about all the help that you gave us. You made planning our trip so much easier. Thank you for answering all of our questions and recommendations on restaurants, beaches and activities. You are a gem!
All homes have issues and the few things we had were handled immediately by Dave.
The Villa itself is located in a gated secure community and conveniently located near the beaches, restaurants and shopping.
If your an early riser like myself go outside and listen to Costa Rica come to life, howler monkeys, birds and geckos will serenade you!
I also recommend having the personal chef and crew come in, fine dining in your own Villa!
Dave and Sam thank you for making our families first time to Costa Rica so memorable.
Can’t wait until we come back!

Wonderful property conveniently located to nice beaches, restaurants and grocery shopping.
This is a luxury villa situated on a bluff with incredible views of the ocean. Seemingly isolated from civilization, yet conveniently located to all things required to enjoy an extended stay in paradise. On site (separate building) property manager will take care of your whims or leave you to relaxing days in the pool. Highly recommend.

Great Time in Costa Rica
The trip was excellent. David truly helps you take care of any needs from transportation, excursions, dining and purchasing items for the house. The house is beautiful and the view is amazing. A few items need work but not enough to dampen the great experience. New fridge is needed and pool light went out. My group loved it. The rooms are great and each had its own bath. We would definitely go back. The chef arranged for us was excellent. David had a van service to take us wherever our group of twelve needed to go at a great rate. We visited the volcano one day and took a private sail boat out the next. We spent a day at the beach and eat at a local restaurant. All great times. I was asked to sign contract but had it adjusted with no issues. Probably should stop asking for it as long as insurance is acquired at only $99. I gave 4 stars for the minor items and contract, but I would not hesitate to go back.

Amazing property with total privacy and views to savour
The suite we stayed in was 5 star for sure - our own balcony, outdoor shower, a/c and a four poster bed. We loved the sun deck and great infinity pool. The property manager Dave knows Costa Rica really well and was able to advise us on the local secrets that you probably wouldn't find on your own. We cannot recommend this villa highly enough - if you get a chance to stay there you will be blown away. Excellent!
