About Villa Zafiro

Steps from the beach and adjacent to a national park!  This beautiful large, private villa, pool and gardens  is perfectly located in Langosta, the laid back beach village between the bustling beach town of Tamarindo to the north and the unspoiled sanctuary of Playa Langosta and Las Baulas National Park to the south.  Walk to pristine beaches, surf breaks, spectacular sunsets, delicious open-air restaurants, tide pools, jungle trails & estuary and of course everything Tamarindo has to offer!

The Langosta village is a hidden gem!  Quiet, laid back and lush, you'll hear and see the howler monkeys cruising through the neighborhood canopy, spy iguana, coati and maybe even an anteater. 

 

Our villa is a very private, 4 bedroom (4 comfy queen beds plus), 3 bath modern villa with two large outdoor patios, a large pool, and private lush gardens.  But the way it is laid out is different and fantastic for vacationing with family or friends.

 

There are two master suites with comfy queen beds, glass sliders out to patios and their own bathrooms with walk in showers.   These are at one end of the house, away from the living areas which makes them very quiet and private.  The upstairs master suite (main house) has its own outdoor screened patio overlooking the pool, gardens and jungle beyond.  Don't be surprised to view monkeys dotting the treetops from your bed.  The main floor master suite opens directly onto the patio and pool allowing you to sneak out for that late night swim under the stars in the warm pool before you go to sleep.  

 

The large, open kitchen, dining room, and living room are perfect for cooking and eating together as well as playing games, catching up over cocktails, planning the days adventures or watching movies. These rooms open via a wall of glass sliders onto a beautiful  patio and deck overlooking the pool and tropical gardens and the jungle beyond.  

 

The modern kitchen has everything you could want to make a home cooked meal with family and friends OR hire a private chef to do it for you.  This includes quartz countertops and all new appliances: refrigerator with filter and ice maker, stove/oven, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, Breville espresso machine, dishwasher, dishes, instapot, and more. There is also an outdoor grill if you want to prepare your catch of the day!

 

The upstairs (appartment) portion of the villa has two more large bedrooms, also with queen beds with super comfy mattresses, a shared bathroom with a walk in shower, and a large open great room with floor-to-ceiling windows with a view of the pool and jungle beyond.  This great room contains a small kitchen and eating bar, and living area with an additional queen-sized sofa bed, if needed.  This little modern kitchen is also fully functional and includes: a refrigerator, oven, microwave, coffee maker, etc. It perfect for early morning coffees or smoothies or late night snacks.  This great room opens onto a large outdoor patio perfect for sipping your morning coffee or getting in some yoga with a view.  

 

There are also laundry facilities so you can pack light! 

 

The sections of the villas live like one big villa, with amazing indoor and outdoor social spaces but offer additional privacy and autonomy of separate units, when desired.  It is perfect when you are traveling with friends and families, allowing for downtime when needed! It's the perfect setup for both introverts and extraverts alike!

 

Note: the main house (2 bed, 2 bath, LR, DR, kitchen) is separate from the apartment/second floor (2 bed, 1 bath, LR, kitchenette. laundry).  There is no internal access between the main house and the apartment . . . which makes them very private.  The steps by the side door to the main house leads up to the second floor apartment.

 

The villa has AC in every room to ensure year-round comfort.

 

As instructors at a US university, this is our happy place when we are on break.  During the winter, we typically offer this villa to others to enjoy.  So this is not just a typical rental.  We stock it with books, games, puzzles, and comforts for adults and kids to enjoy.  Lounge in the hammock.  Float in the warm pool under the stars in the magical gardens.  Rediscover those analog activities and make memories.   It has tremendous appeal for friends and family of all ages.  Or if you absolutely must do some work or don't want to miss the big game, we have super fast wifi, desks in each bedroom and cable/smart tvs.

Guest access

Access to the property and the house is via keypad.  No worry about coordinating or carrying keys! Everyone can come and go as they please with just a code.

 

For those with mobility challenges, the main living area and one master suite are easily accessible/no steps within the house and one step up from outside into the front or side door.   The outdoor patio has two shallow steps down to the pool deck

 

The villa and grounds are private and for your exclusive use.  No need to share with anyone else :)

 

A note about reviews:  We only have 20 or so reviews at this point because this is the first time we are sharing our villa!  We are "all 5-Star, Super Hosts" back in the States with our other home which we share when we travel.  So, no need to worry.  

 

The place is super clean and comfortable.  Our local manager Claudia lives in the neighborhood and can help you with any questions you have and can help you book adventures, give advice on things to do or even help you get a chef, massages, groceries... she's there to help make your stay amazing.
