“this is heaven !!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 30, 2012

We've found a brochure of this beautiful villa and we called to check out the rates and the availability.
The owner, Jeanis Seaton, answered us in a very kind way and we decided to stay a few days at this B&B.
The place has wonderful rooms, a huge garden, excellent swimming pool and fantastic facilities. It can be rented as a whole vacation haouse (15 to 20 people) or as B&B.
The staff is very kind and helpful, specially Dicard who's got wonderful cooking skills.
The owner is a perfect host and the house has beautiful details.
I highly recommend this place situated inside Hacienda Pinilla to whom are looking for a beautiful enviroment, quite and relaxing. Opportunity for massage, dine around, etc.
The area has beautiful beaches (Langosta, tamarindo and avellanas) and plenty of things to do.
Perfect for couples, family with no childrens, groups of adults, etc

“Paradise Found”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 23, 2010

Casa Rancho is a privately owned and leased villa in beautiful Guanacosta region of Costa Rica. The interior of Casa Rancho is beautifully appointed and the ground lush, almost jungle like. To relax poolside under the night stars with the sound of howler monkeys passing by is to experience heaven on earth. Just minutes from the villa is the most pristine and private beach I've ever been on. Horses, ponies and cattle roam the immediate countryside. The sight of majestic guanacosta trees on the golf course next door will be with me forever. If you like lots of people, noise and action, you won't enjoy Casa Rancho! If you want to relax and get away from the crowd, you'll love it!

“Amazing vacation in a spectacular location.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 12, 2010

We stayed at Casa Rancho in Guanacaste after already staying for 5 days at the Four Season resort in Costa Rica. Honestly, our vacation time at Casa Rancho was even better than the Four Seasons. It was more intimate and exotic and interesting. The beaches right near Casa Rancho were absolutly stunning. It is a beautiful boutique style inn/small hotel experience that was totally perfect from top to bottom. The swimming pool and other facilites are beautiful and we got the feeling of staying in our own luxury villa because of the privacy and small size. It was ideal with our children and it would have also been amazing if it were just my husband and I. We had a truly special vacation and a great deal of it had to do with the amazing accomodations at Casa Rancho.

“Wonderful time in Paradise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 13, 2009

I just traveled to Costa Rica with my wife and we absolutely loved Casa Rancho. It is situated in the most exclusive gated estate near Tamarindo so it is SAFE. Casa Rancho is like a Spanish hacienda and oozes charm. The pool is amazing and is about 80 degrees but you can cool off with a tropical drink, pretty hard to leave that pool with the hot temperatures of Costa Rica. If you like horses, there is a small stable on the property where you can ride within the gated area which is a very large operating ranch. The beaches are typical of Costa Rica, where you can enjoy them with virtually no people, and then swim in 80 degree waters..... nice. Casa Rancho is for people looking for a boutique hotel experience and appreciate the personal touch. Oh, and there is a PGA world class golf course within the estate (not to mention a JW Marriott).
