Escape to Paradise at Casa Elsa: A Luxurious Jungle Retreat
Indulge in the ultimate Costa Rican getaway at Casa Elsa, a newly renovated six-bedroom, seven-bathroom luxury villa nestled in the heart of Manuel Antonio. This expansive 7700+ sq ft open-concept retreat offers breathtaking jungle and ocean views, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the rainforest.
**The Space**
Experience luxury redefined in our sophisticated villa, where recent upgrades create a chic and inviting ambiance. The open-air design floods the common areas with bright, natural light, while all six bedrooms provide air-conditioned comfort.
Your group of up to 10 guests will enjoy spacious accommodations, each with its own ensuite bathroom. Sleeping arrangements include twor king beds, one queen bed, and one room with both a king and queen bed. Two futons are also available for additional flexibility.
Prepare meals in the state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen, featuring custom teak cabinetry, quartz countertops, and top-of-the-line appliances. For entertainment, a game room awaits with a pool table and board games. Throughout the villa, you'll find modern conveniences like a dedicated workspace, multiple security safes, and 200 MB WIFI.
Step outside to your private oasis. Relax and rejuvenate in the stunning, blue-tiled infinity-edge pool overlooking the lush jungle canopy. Unwind in the large private jacuzzi (not heated), enjoy a meal from the barbecue grill in one of the multiple lounge areas, or rinse off in the outdoor shower after a day of adventure.
