Romantica Villa

Villa Romantica
One-of-a-Kind World-Class Tropical Estate with Panoramic Pacific Views

Perched 500 feet above sea level and crowning the exclusive Playa Roble enclave in Puerto Carrillo, Villa Romantica is a truly singular tropical estate—an architectural masterpiece that blends timeless Tuscan elegance with the raw natural beauty of Costa Rica’s Pacific coast.

Set on a 14.6-acre titled estate at the end of a private cul-de-sac, the property is surrounded by jungle, borders the protected maritime zone, and offers extraordinary expansion potential for additional luxury villas or boutique hospitality concepts. From its northern ridge, the estate captures sweeping views across the entire Nicoya Peninsula, one of the world’s renowned Blue Zones.
