Villas Espavel is a short walk to Samara’s beach, restaurants and nightlife. Casa Espavel is one of six vacation villas on the property. Casa Espavel is the owners home completed in early 2017. It is designed for living in concert with nature and is perfect for a group of friends or families traveling together.

Casa Espavel is the owner's home at Villas Espavel. It shares the peaceful grounds, glorious pool, river access and tree top yoga space with 5 other villas. Villas Espavel is a 5 to 10-minute walk to the beach and town.

We designed Casa Espavel to live in concert with nature. One side of the house opens to the jungle with four garage doors allowing you to watch the monkeys, birds and butterflies from any room. The house has great natural ventilation and powerful ceiling fans. Enjoy cooking and eating in Casa Espavel's well equipped kitchen and relaxing on the patio and balcony. Upstairs are 3 comfortable bedrooms. There is a dining table for 8 on the patio, a table for four in the kitchen and all the amenities of home in the kitchen, including an induction cooktop, large refrigerator and freezer and a dishwasher. On the patio is an additional four burner gas stove and an oven. There are comfortable chairs and hammocks for relaxing on the patio and balcony. The powder room is on the ground floor off of the living room.

All three bedrooms have queen beds with amazing mattresses, comfortable pillows, reading lights, shelves. The first bedroom has its own bathroom with a walk-in shower. The second and third bedrooms share a bathroom also with a walk-in shower and double sinks. The third bedroom has a queen bed as well as two fun single loft beds for kids or playful adults. Both bathrooms have ample space for your toiletries. We have powerful ceiling fans throughout the house to keep you cool. There is a washer and dryer on the bedroom level of the house as well as a combination safe for your valuables.

Britt Petyak (Ville Espavel)

Ville Espavel, Samara

We just finished our vacation in Samara and Villa Espavel was one of the main reasons we had such a wonderful time! We had a large group and stayed in the main house which is only a couple years old. The home itself is amazing with these automatic doors that open up the entire shared spaces to the outdoors. All the bedrooms have screen doors so you can really take advantage of the breezes and sounds of nature. I think I took a midday nap every single day in the upstairs hammocks listening to the sounds of the birds and wildlife. The grounds are magical with lush landscaping and plenty of shade around the pool to cool off after a day at the beach. By the end of the trip I felt truly restored. There are a few things I want to especially mention. Tano, who works at the property, was a really big help with advice on surfing times/spots and helping us with transportation to local beaches (you have to spend an afternoon at Playa de Barrigona if you have time!). His recommendation on the best ceviche vendor was also spot on - it was amazing! Also, if you are into yoga, Laura, who teaches on the beach at Luv Burger was incredible. We've practiced yoga for a very long time and her teaching and guidance was something that took my practice to a whole different level. Her classes would be highly recommended to anyone interested in yoga in Samara. Also, Roots Bakery wasn't included in the restaurant list, but I wish we had discovered it sooner than our last day there! Their coffees are awesome and I can still taste the blueberry scone I had there for breakfast. The owners here have really created something truly special. I wish there was a way to explain how being there makes you feel but words don't do it justice. I'm already looking forward to the next time we can come back to CR and Villa Espavel! Pura Vida!

Accepted Great place and a hop and a skip to the beach!

Wonderful time staying upstairs with Balcony that overlooked pool & grounds. Hammock was so relaxing with overhead fan to keep cool. Howler monkeys and lots of birds to entertain. The beautiful pool was a blessing when you just need to cool off. The upstairs "Rancho" was lots of fun for Pilates & Yoga. Owners Mercy & Canuche keep a sweet place and are on top of it with maintenance and upkeep. Don't forget to ask about a bike to rent during your stay...lots of fun to bike to town & beaches! Great place and a hop and a skip to the beach!

Accepted This place is excellent!

This place is excellent! We had a pretty big group, so we rented a few of the units. We could all get together for family meals, play in the pool, but had plenty of space for those who wanted to sneak away early to bed. We all felt completely comfortable, safe and could really relax the entire week. The kitchens in the Villas were ideal! The Costa Rican food is not the best and is pretty expensive, so having a kitchen is a must. Villas Espavel is also located in a great spot to come and go easily and the hotel owner is great at suggesting day trips in the area. They even helped us set up a family horse riding trip and a zip lining adventure, my 5, 10 and 11 year old sons completely LOVED both! With the beautiful beaches, nearly waterfalls, the pool, and of course the monkeys-We will certainly be returning Villas Espavel!

Both Mercy & Canuche have worked in sustainable building in the Seattle Area before becoming your happiness engineers providing you with delight and fun in Samara, Costa Rica at Villas Espavel and in Seattle Washington at The Plum. We live in Leavenworth, Washington. When we aren't helping guests create wonderful vacations, we love to cook, eat local food and spend time outside with friends and family. We are beekeepers, avid gardeners, hikers and campers. When the weather is warm we love to SUP, surf, boogie and snorkel. When the white stuff falls you'll find us on skis enjoying downhill, X-country or skate terrain. We have traveled much of the world, some of our favorite places are Costa Rica, Mexico, Turkey, Syria and Scandinavia. We love hosting people and sharing the beauty of Costa Rica and Seattle.
