About this property

An Engineering Masterpiece with Panoramic Views in Coveted Tamarindo, CostaRica.

Welcome to Villa Musca, a one-of-a-kind 5-bedroom sunset estate, a true gem within the prestigious gated community of Senderos in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. Crafted as an architectural marvel by renowned developers, this villa is a testament to the blend of luxury and innovation.
Spanning 500 square meters, Villa Musca comprises a main house with an infinity swimming pool, complemented by two independent Villa Suites, each boasting a private pool. The design seamlessly integrates with the hillside rock, offering breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean amidst lush Costa Rican greenery and the surrounding forest.
Inside, the villa showcases a blend of suave elegance and organic materials sourced globally—textiles from France, furniture from Italy, and unique artifacts from around the world. Each of the 5 bedrooms features a private bathroom, ensuring comfort and privacy for every guest.
Life at Villa Musca is oriented towards outdoor living, with expansive verandas, a solarium, and a terrace that captures spectacular sunset views over the ocean. The fully equipped kitchen opens up to invite the fresh tropical air, perfect for al-fresco dining experiences. The home was built under strict anti-seismic regulations as it sits in what seems to be a suspended attachment to the Cliffside.
Located minutes away from Tamarindo's vibrant center and renowned beaches, Villa Musca offers easy access to many activities. Explore the surf at Playa Grande, indulge in beachside relaxation at Playa Flamingo, or embark on snorkeling adventures at Catalinas Islands. For nature enthusiasts, the nearby Las Baulas National Park promises unforgettable encounters with wildlife and pristine beaches.
After a day of exploration, retreat to the exclusive privacy of Villa Musca, cocooned by tropical gardens within the secure confines of Senderos. Whether you're basking by the infinity pool or savoring cocktails on the terrace, Villa Musca offers an exceptional sanctuary for discerning travelers in search of luxury, privacy, and natural beauty in Tamarindo.
Elevate your stay at Villa Musca with bespoke services such as a private chef who can whip up gourmet meals using locally sourced ingredients. Daily cleaning services ensure the villa remains in pristine condition, allowing you to unwind without the worry of chores. Airport transportation is seamlessly arranged for your convenience, adding to the ease of your stay.
For those eager to explore Tamarindo and beyond, our dedicated house manager, knowledgeable in local attractions, can coordinate tours and activities tailored to your preferences. Whether you're interested in surfing lessons, zip-lining through the jungle, or discovering hidden waterfalls, every excursion is thoughtfully planned to create memorable experiences.
Immerse yourself in the beauty of Costa Rica, knowing that every detail of your stay at Villa Musca has been carefully considered to provide unparalleled comfort and convenience. Relax, explore, and create lasting memories in this exceptional retreat where luxury meets adventure.
The home is ideal for adults, groups of friends and family with children about the age of 12. The surrounding verandas are glass-free as to take in the views in perfect form, but not for for those that are afraid of heights. While the home is fully secure, we do stand amidst the mountain and in order to enjoy our spectacular views, you must climb up a steep Ramp, there fore a 4x4 vehicle is necessary. The access to the home is comprised by a series of mid level angle ramps, making the home ideal for active adults.

We offer four pull-out ottoman-type single sofa beds with thin mattresses and a plush pillow top, ideal for teenagers, young adults, or lightweight guests. These beds provide a convenient sleeping option for extra guests in our living area or as a rollaway-bed in one of our villas.

The ottomans are movable and equipped with wheels, allowing for flexibility in placement. They are available upon request.

For additional guests beyond 10, there is a fee of $100 per guest, per night. These guests will be accommodated on the rollaway beds, which are dressed with a pillow-top feather bed, fluffy pillow, and blanket for added comfort.

To ensure a smooth setup, please advise us in advance if you require these extra beds. Housekeeping will prepare them in your preferred location prior to your arrival.

Beautiful views

The views at Villagio Musca were amazing. The home is stunning. There is plenty of room for us and our guests to spread out enjoy our vacation. Crissy and her team met us upon arrival and was very nice and accommodating throughout our stay. The team helped us with our bags and got everyone settled in. They even gave us a couple of little unexpected gifts and surprises upon arrival. We are looking forward to coming back to this home and staying in the future. Thanks again!

Costa Rica Get Away

A group of us traveling from all over the US but predominantly Alaska came down to Tamarindo for the first time and it did not disappoint! The Casa Barritz is stunning. Extremely clean with unparallel views- it was the perfect setting for our vacation. The only caveat is the driveway-if you are visiting-be sure to get 4 wheel drive and have a sense of adventure. We loved the challenge and got our steps in daily in this mountain nestled oasis. The property management team was fantastic-every single one of them were attentive and helpful and kind. It was such an amazing trip and I would highly recommend this property to anyone traveling in a big group-you had your own space but were still together. We would come back in a heart beat!

The house is amazing but its not for everyone.

This is one of the most spectacular homes you will ever see. The architecture, engineering, views and location are jaw dropping. But with that comes some major drawbacks. The driveway is so steep that our van could not make it up, so we had to hire a cab to carry our bags and my parents (in their 70's) to the main parking. Then it is another 50' up to the main house via a series of ramps (with luggage in tow). Then it is another 91 vertical steps up to the top bedroom. None of this is a big deal if you are young, in shape, sober and not carrying luggage. There are also some trip hazards in close proximity to 50' drops. The living room only has one couch in it, we had to carry chairs from around the property just so 6 people could sit in the living room together. The house is well stocked with everything you would need and is in close proximity to a nice grocery store. The birds and wildlife around the house really add to the overall mystic of this place. We did have 2 kids with us (10 and 12) and they were fine but I would not be comfortable with a child younger than 6 at this house. Personally, I loved the house but it is not for everyone. The ideal group would be middle aged couples that don't drink too much and are all driving their own 4 wheel drives.

Excellent stay in Tamarindo!

We really enjoyed our stay at this fabulous home in the hills above Tamarindo. The views and the home itself, were outstanding. We were one of the first to stay and the home is very well equipped with everything needed during our stay. It is also away from the touristy areas, and quiet but only a 5 minute drive to Tamarindo. There is a lot of construction currently in the development, 7-6 each day. The location is great, very secure in a first-class gated community with guards who patrol. The property is convenient to an amazing grocery store for all your food and beverage needs. A few things to know about the property: being situated on the side of the mountain getting into and out of the home requires a series of ramps to get you, your guests and belongings to the main house. There are two individual villas above and those are all steps. Also the driveway - we were there in late rainy season so it was wet, and steep and has a sharp turn mid way up. You will need a full time four wheel drive. Last, we were disappointed not to be able to use the two upper villas as the airconditioning was not working and the pools up there were not operational. 2-3 couples can fit comfortably in the main house, but we really wanted to spread out a bit for more privacy. Just confirm with the manager that all is operational. The laundry facility was just okay for small loads. The concierge and manager were very good communicators and helped make our stay great!

Why they chose this property

Tamarindo is Costa Rica's Number One Travel and Tourism Destination.

What makes this property unique

Engineering, nothing like it and very hard to replicate the way it seems nailed into the massive rock wall that holds it ... and the views. Impossibly to find land like where this property sits these days.
