The Villa is very clean with comfortable furnishings. The outdoor space has a great overhang for when the sun gets too hot and plenty of seating areas for everyone to spread out. The pool and view are great too! Rinku is a very attentive host and checks in to make sure all our needs were taken care of. When I asked her where I could buy a magic bullet she had one sent to the Villa. Along with the staff at Zindis all our needs were taken care of. ##### Susan S.

The property management company also helped set up excursions - white water rafting, Vandara Adventure Park, deep sea fishing/whale watching/swimming with turtles - which all were just amazing.

All the people that took care of us from Brian, the main concierge, to the wonderful staff that cooked breakfast were kind, helpful and wonderful. The house on the listing is beautiful but it’s even more awesome in person. The pool and hot tub made for a perfect place to spend family time and the excursions that Brian helped us set up were all so much fun. The best part of the home was the outdoor space but the inside was also great with comfortable beds and a kitchen that had all we needed. This vacation was more than we ever could have hoped for and I highly recommend booking your next vacation here. We can’t wait to come back. ##### Holly J.

Recently returned from our one week escape to this magnificent home in the hilltops overlooking Playa Hermosa. The views are breathtaking and this house has everything you could want both inside and out. Brian helped us plan a week full of activities, and all of our meals whether at wonderful restaurants in nearby towns, chef cooked meals in the house, or getting the groceries we needed to BBQ for ourselves. Brian and the rest of the Zindis team were in constant contact and were the most dedicated and effective management company we have ever worked with. The combination of the location, amenities and service just can't be beat. We'll be back!!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott P. Jul 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Already looking to return... I sense I'm at the beginning stage of this amazing secret getting out to the world. The staff and owner deserve 5 stars. However, selfishly I don't want to say it too loudly so availability remains for our return visits. We took advantage of advance grocery delivery, enjoyed American and Costa Rican breakfasts prepared by our housekeeper/cook and soaked in the sun at the infinity pool overlooking the beautiful bay view. My favorite was the calmness of the morning of sipping local coffee, listening to the bird songs, watching the boats in the bay head off for their early morning adventures. I'm scouring our schedule and searching flights, eager to book our next stay at Villa Madera ##### Scott P. Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brent S. Jul 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We were very excited to stay at Villa Madera - Monte Bello and it did not disappoint. The gated community is a nice benefit to add an extra layer of security in an unfamiliar area. From the moment we arrived the view from the outdoor patio/pool area was fantastic. Fortuitously, each evening of our stay the sunset got better and better. The layout of the house is really well done. The entrance to the house has the foyer and laundry room away from the rest of the house. The first bedroom is a great set up for multiple kids with a bunk bed. The living room is very spacious and a great open concept from the kitchen area so no one is closed off in this area. Further down the hallway is the second bedroom with a idea for a second couple. And finally the last bedroom is the Master. It is fantastic! Very roomy with glorious views of the pool and ocean. The outside patio area has multiple seating areas and a nice hammock. There is an outdoor grill, but we never utilized it. The infinity pool was quite nice as well. There is a half mile uphill drive from the gated entrance to the house. The beach area is not really walkable from the house unless you want a serious workout walking back uphill after sun and sand at the beach. I would highly recommend this house for a family vacation. Marilyn was very attentive to our stay and if we needed anything (which we did not) she was ready to serve. There is a small grocery store right next to the entrance to the gated community. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8c8b5cde-eec7-47dd-bb81-b2c0a3b6da1a-1753557530136.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e3d7d4f4-1756-4589-8689-cfd94e3d1214-1753557537122.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Brent S.

Nestled amidst lush tropical greenery and overlooking breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, this rental was a dream come true for our family of seven. Here's a detailed review of our unforgettable experience:Location and Surroundings: Located in a secluded spot along Costa Rica's coastline, the property offered the perfect blend of tranquility and accessibility. Surrounded by dense rainforest, we woke up to the sounds of exotic birds and the gentle rustling of leaves. The panoramic views of the ocean from our villa were simply mesmerizing, especially during sunrise and sunset.Accommodation: The villa itself was spacious and beautifully appointed, providing ample room for our large family. With five children ranging in age, the property's layout ensured everyone had their own space while still enjoying communal areas for family gatherings. The décor was tasteful and reflective of Costa Rican culture, with modern amenities that catered to our every need.Staff and Service: One of the highlights of our stay was the exceptional hospitality extended by the staff. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. The concierge was incredibly helpful in arranging activities for our children, including nature hikes, surfing lessons, and even a visit to a nearby animal sanctuary. Housekeeping was impeccable, and the chef prepared ##### Yizel M.

(Although part of me wants to keep this hidden gem a secret). Even before arriving, the owner went above and beyond by personally emailing us and connecting us with our dedicated staff leader, Brian. Weeks prior to our stay, Brian provided invaluable information about the area and arranged private excursions tailored to our interests. He patiently answered our myriad questions about the airport, cell phone connectivity, and using Waze for navigation. His attentiveness put our minds at ease. Upon arrival, we were awestruck by the warm welcome – a chilled glass of cava and fresh juice awaited us, followed by a comprehensive tour of the property by Edgar. He meticulously explained the villa's amenities and highlighted local attractions worth exploring on our own. The immaculate house was a testament to attention to detail, but it was the breathtaking pool and panoramic views that truly stole the show. Why leave such paradise? Our stay was nothing short of perfection. Each morning, Ityarisa and Alejandro prepared made-to-order breakfast delicacies on the patio while we leisurely enjoyed the stunning vistas. During our daily adventures, they diligently refreshed the house. One evening, we savored a private culinary experience with the talented chef, Jeff, who treated us to a masterclass in ceviche and seafood preparation. It was a dream relaxat ##### matthew Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kirsten G.

Loved.... 1) The view is magnificent. The property is on a hill and the pictures do not do the view justice, it is a full panoramic view of the ocean and the green forest below. 2) The villa has full concierge service, and we took full advantage of that. Bryan from Zindis took care of activities, rental car, dinner reservations, in home massage, personal chef, coordination with cleaning and cooking staff. Edgar is the property manager and he was available 24/7 to help. We had the daily cleaning staff come 2x to tidy up the main room/cook breakfast. 3) Property is in a gated community, which made us feel safe. You can walk to the beach, but it is better to do the short drive. 4) House itself is modern and comfortable. Beds were nice. Pool/patio is great. Showers had hot water/decent pressure. Things to improve 1) Biggest single issue was fact they did not tell us about construction in the community, including directly below this property. We heard sawing and hammering from 6 am to 6 pm. I understand construction happens, but we paid A LOT ($5000/night) for this rental, and for that price we should have had peace and quiet. Advice is to discount during construction/tell potential renters up front. 2) Hot tub flows into pool so hard to keep it hot and pool cool. 3) Some items could be upgraded at this price pt - coffee, grill, patio furniture. ##### Kirsten G.
