Villa Magallanes

Every stay is unique and rewarding. We've provided most imaginable necessities and conveniences so you can focus on the beauty, sounds, showering sunlight, enveloping clouds, simple moments, conversations and small details that surround you.

Adventure is within reach. Whether you're exploring the Villa grounds and surrounding jungle, regrouping after day trips to some of Costa Rica's most famous locations, or simply relaxing and reading a book in the hammock, the pure life awaits you.

The space:
Step through the front door of this spacious (3,175 sq/ft under cover) home, into the great room and open concept kitchen, a central gathering place for energetic conversation at the end of the day, perhaps by the fireplace if it's exceptionally cold.

The master suite is set apart from the rest of the house with a tempurpedic queen bed and picture window framing the valley, Gulf of Nicoya and distant Nicoya mountain range. There is a large closet, sliding glass door to the veranda, and attached en-suite master bath and small office.

Surrounded by lush jungle, enjoy your morning coffee or tea sitting at the courtyard bistro table directly off the master bath greeting the hummingbirds arriving for their morning nectar or the flycatchers seeking an early bath in the fountain.

Also off the great room is a guest bedroom, with a large closet, lots of natural light and an en-suite Jack & Jill bathroom, shared with the other house guests.

Walking past the refrigerator and food pantry, there is a separate guest quarter/efficiency with a private outdoor entrance, kitchenette, washer and dryer and sleeping accommodations for four. In the garden room sunlight will shower you through picture windows on three sides, overlooking the courtyard garden and fountain. There are twin trundle beds in the garden room and a queen sleeper sofa in the common area.

A deluxe, king-size, above ground air mattress is available for parties >8.
And in addition, we have a detached, separate casita with an en-suite bath, kitchenette, terrace and patio for parties >10.

Guest access:
In addition to your bedrooms, great room w/open kitchen design, laundry and wrap-around veranda, you have full access to the spectacular grounds, gardens and courtyard throughout the villa.

Enjoy a glass of wine watching the sunset behind the Gulf of Nicoya, play checkers on the west lawn, relax reading a book in the hammock (2 provided), or simply take in the nighttime, distant lights of the port/beach city of Puntarenas from the veranda.

It's all yours to enjoy!

There's a river, waterfalls and swimming/wading holes only a short hike away and you will be minutes by car from San Ramon central, the city of "presidents and poets", just in case you have an "itch" to explore the city to buy some fresh baked bread at our favorite panaderia.
