Luxury Oceanfront View Villa with Chef, Housekeeping and Concierge Services

Villa Amore is a beautiful, Tuscan-style, luxury villa offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean.

Villa Amore features 4 spacious guest suites. The primary guest suite on the main floor provides a king bed, large walk-in closet with safe and a full 4-piece en suite bathroom with a double-sink vanity and a bidet. The remaining 3 guest suites, located on the upper level, each provide a queen bed and a daybed which convert to (2) twin/single beds, accommodating up to 4 guests per guest suite. Each guest suite offers a full 3-piece en suite bathroom and walk-in closet with a safe.
Full-time chef services are offered and included in your luxury rental. This includes breakfast and dinner preparation, serving, and clean-up (Monday-Saturday). Guests are required to purchase their own groceries, ingredients and beverages. Or, if you prefer, our caretakers will be happy to provide shopping service for a nominal fee.

Guests can enjoy a spacious, custom-designed chef’s kitchen. It is fully equipped with an expansive refrigerator and freezer with ice-maker, professional Italian cooktop range and oven, wine cooler fridge, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, toaster oven, coffee & espresso maker, blender, and all the necessary cooking and baking utensils. Just off the kitchen is an oversized outdoor terrace, featuring a BBQ grilling area with sink and an extendable dining table, allowing you to enjoy the natural beauty encompassing the entire villa and ocean view, surrounded by lush tropical gardens.

Just minutes from the villa, brings you to a couple small, natural beaches. These beaches may too rugged for swimming but they are an amazing place to spread out a towel and relax, collect shells, and take in the surrounding serene beauty. When the tide is low, you can hike along the lava rock and swim or snorkel with the tropical fish in the shallow tidal pools.

Villa Amore is only a 5 minute drive from beautiful Playa Carrillo. In March 2013, Travel and Leisure Magazine featured it in the Top 25 secret beaches in the world. The magazine describes it as a white-sand beach framed by mountains and just off a boulevard lined by palm trees. It is safe to swim, surf or just lounge under the palm trees and try out a fresh coconut water or a flavored shaved ice, from one of the local vendors . It is perfect for an early morning walk along this 2 km beach and top if off with a relaxing massage from a local beach vendor or you can enjoy a beautiful sunset at the end of the day. The beach is protected by rocky headlands and provides calm, warm water for all swimmers.

Villa Amore is located in the province of Guanacaste, one of the five Blue Zones of the world, and is approximately two hours from Liberia International Airport (LIR) and is approximately four hours from San Jose International Airport (SJO).

The villa and pool are immaculately maintained and clean. The rooms are spacious and provide both easy access and privacy. The onsite hosts provide cleaning, laundry, breakfast and dinner. They are available but not intrusive. Samara and it's beaches are welcoming for tourists but still maintain a local vibe. We used the Liberia airport and an Alamo rental car, both seamless experiences. We're already looking to return next year.

Our stay at Villa Amore was fabulous! The house was beautiful, the pool spectacular, and the view of the ocean divine. Laura was so easy to work with and answered all of my many questions in a very timely manner. The house was stocked with all the essentials that saved us when packing for our trip - soap, shampoo, lotion, beach towels, etc. The beds were very comfortable making for a great nights sleep after spending the day exploring. Alix and Jenny were great! They prepared delicious meals that we enjoyed on the outdoor patio dining area, with an ocean view, every day. The concierge service with Christopher and Brenda was so helpful. We could have never planned all the fun activities on our own. They were extra accommodating to us, as we have many changes to our itinerary along the way.I would definitely recommend this Villa to anyone traveling to Costa Rica. You won't be disappointed!

Villa Amore

This is a beautiful location and gorgeous home. Alex and Jenny as in home cooks and vacation friends are an amazing addition. 10 members of our family enjoyed this stay and the fabulous meals they prepared. The presentation....table cloth, cloth napkins was so lovely. The view is incredible and the kids (and adults) had so much fun in the pool. Alex was very helpful getting us booked with an inshore fishing trip and surf lessons. His recommendations helped make this part of our trip memorable. Great location close to two beautiful beaches Playa Carrillo and Samara. We saw whales, monkeys and birds from the balcony. Definitely a piece of paradise. Laura is easy to communicate with while you are working on the booking process and beyond!! We had a great experience there and honestly, we didn't want to leave.

Family Vacay 2025

The villa is so much nicer than the photos. The table outside the kitchen on the patio was our favorite place in the villa. It seats more than 10 and the view of the ocean is incredible. You get a nice morning breeze to have your coffee and just enjoy your surroundings. We had 6 adults and 4 kids and never felt crowded with all the bedrooms and sitting areas. The pool was used every day and night and has the same views of the ocean. Jenny and Alex were beyond amazing, they make you feel like you’re part of the family. They are so helpful and will go the extra mile to help/please your every need. They are a big reason we may book the villa again.

Fantastic Family Vacation!

Our stay at Villa Amore was wonderful! As stated in previous reviews, pictures just don’t do it justice. I couldn’t get over the spectacular view from the outside terraces and took every opportunity to relax and enjoy it. Our family of six, five adults and an eight year-old, spent many hours enjoying the pool and all of us absolutely loved Jenny and Alex! They were so accommodating and assisted us any way they could. Meals were an event to be savored! We had one fussy eater his requests were always accommodated. The villa was immaculately kept and Jenny even did laundry upon request. Honestly, we have never stayed in a better vacation rental. Thank you, Laura, for promptly answering our questions and for allowing us the pleasure of staying at your beautiful villa. And to Jenny and Alex, you are the best!

Paradise and the Perfect Escape for our Family

Our extended family had the pleasure of staying at Villa Amore in mid-March as the second half of our family trip to Costa Rica. This was a perfect getaway spot for us with everything we could ask for and more. The place was spotless, the pool was well maintained and the view and ocean breezes couldn’t be beat. We loved the space in the bedrooms for all our luggage and as four separate families with children it was the perfect setup for sleeping. And then there was Alex and Jenny, they were so warm, welcoming and accommodating to our group. We all very much enjoyed their fabulous cooking and the break it gave us from making our own breakfast and dinners was a priceless luxury! We will be recommending this place to other friends and family.

Amazing family vacation

We rented the property for our mothers 70th birthday. 6 adults 4 kids ranging from 5 to 11. Basically everything that could have gone wrong did (planned area wide power outage for 1 day, unplanned area wide water outage for part of day, 5 year old ran through a sliding glass door) and even wjth all of that it was one of the best vacations any of us have had. The listing is even better than the pictures. The chef/caretakers Alex and Jenny are truly amazing and were able to troubleshoot all issues even though they werent the fault of the property. Location was perfect. Alex recommended a few local excursions such as horsebackriding that were amazing. Once in a lifetime experience.

Unbeatable Full Service Getaway

After staying in 40 short-term rental homes (of all price ranges) around the world, this is single-handedly the best in every way. Every day in the home was an animal watching experience. We saw and heard dozens of birds, local monkeys, and even whales breeching off the coast! All from the comfort of the incredibly luxurious and comfortable indoor/outdoor living spaces and the gorgeous and comfortable pool that the kiddos (ages 1-4) and the adults (all in our 30's) loved. It's hard to believe, but the listing description and photos don't do the house, property, and whole experience justice.Additionally, Alex and Jennifer (the onsite chefs/housekeepers/helpers) were a gift. They are professionally-trained chefs who have had years of practice and cook incredible food. We ended up going out for a few meals, but wish we would have had all breakfasts and dinners at the house. Both of them are kind but also blend in and are never intrusive, while also being inviting and hospitable; a rare combo.Other Details:-The house is extremely safe from robbery.-The two nearby towns are cute, and Playa Carrillo is a phenomenal beach.-The house is well-stocked with games, books, beach chairs, and kiddo pool toys floaties.-The concierge helped us book tours with ease.If you are planning a trip to Costa Rica, plan your entire visit around this home.

Beautiful property with fantastic chef

We had high expectations for this property and they were exceeded. The staff provided - chefs/housekeepers were exceptional. The meals are best described as fine dining - such a pampering to have breakfast and dinner made to order for you 6 days a week. The house itself is also beautiful and has such an incredible view. We were able to watch whales out on the ocean. It is also in a more rural area. There were literally monkeys swinging through the trees down the street. We also felt very safe here. Highly, highly recommend.

Large family trip - Amazing time

We had the most magical stay at Villa Amore. It truly is the definition of luxury. Such an amazing space to gather at the end of a day of adventuring to spend time together as a family, watching the sunset over the pacific. Alex and Jenny were phenomenal. So kind, professional and helpful. The meals were amazing, each one better than the last. My only advice would be to add some information to the pre trip information around customary tipping practices for the area, for both excursions and also for Alex and Jenny. They were so phenomenal and we wanted to show our gratitude but have no idea if the amount we left was sufficient.

Awesome Vacation!

Now we know why all of the reviews were rated best of the best! We had four families sharing the property with ages ranging from 2 to 68 and everyone had the best time ever. Alex and Jen are the best hosts and their culinary skills are amazing. We had every meal at the villa with the exception of their day off. The property is very much as advertised with plenty of room for our group of 12. One of those trips that no one wanted to leave with guaranties that we will all be back!
