COSTA RICA, Called 'Switzerland of the Americas', a safe and peaceful democracy -

no army since 1948!

QUEPOS, 25 min. by air from San Jose ($54) or 3 hours by car, a sport-fishing town and the commercial center of the area (shopping / markets / medical center / banks / car rentals / casino, etc.)

MANUEL ANTONIO: 3 Miles south of Quepos, Costa Rica's most exciting tropical coastal region with several off-shore islands and truly famous MANUEL ANTONIO NATIONAL PARK - world renowned for its beautiful white sand beaches, the monkeys, an amazing variety of wildlife and fauna - a true jungle paradise showcasing the area's natural magnificence.

BEACHES, etc: We are overlooking the northern part of Manuel Antonio's main beach, Playa Espadilla, just 1/2 a mile down our coastal road. Continuing south are 3 more white sand beaches within the park area, as well as romantic Playa Biesanz a few miles north. Within walking distance are many restaurants, cafés and shops and a great super market.

Villa LunaTica -

Perched on a steep tropical hill-side above the Pacific Ocean, just minutes north of famous Manuel Antonio National Park, this stunning architectural gem showcases an inspired modern spin on Jungle Geometry: The Villa's spine - 2 immense almond beams - is supported by a double row of massive columns that march through the tri-level 'great room' to a panoramic window-wall, marking the increase in ceiling height from 14 - 24 feet, as the space steps down.

From the entrance porch, strikingly sculptured stairs either levitate to a lofty mezzanine and further up to the master suite and sun-deck above, or widen as they flow down to the kitchen/dining level and the living room below - always inviting to double as seating. The vast floor-to-ceiling glass facade opens to a water-edged living terrace shaded by 3 smartly suspended sails, while high cedar doors attend the side-wing-suite on the right side of the living room level.

LunaTica was designed to be in tune with its tropical landscape - open to the sea breezes, the scent of ylang ylang trees and the ever-changing light of its rainforest environment. Rooms extend onto expansive balconies, patios and hammock-strung terraces, while the magnificent teak-decked infinity pool is carved into the hillside and embedded in lush tropical vegetation - shimmering sea views from everywhere Extreme Comfort Zones !

White walls and sand-colored polished cement floors are offset by playful splashes of color - sun-drenched orange, reds and fuchsia - black concrete kitchen counters and richly grained native woods.

A haven completely calm and serene contrasting the abundance of the jungle’s greenery - boldly simple in its furnishings and always sophisticated in its fusion of honest materials and textures - concrete, steel, glass, slate, flagstone and plenty of local hard-woods.

Minimal in decor and yet rich in space, light, ideas and imagination.

Kitchens:

2 full size kitchens and dining areas, one in the great room and another

in the side wing suite. A professional VIKING stove and a stainless steel

Breath-taking, both inside and out

5 of 5

My boyfriend and I just got back from our stay in Costa Rica, and our stay at Lunatica absolutely defined the relaxation of our stay; we found that every detail throughout the villa had been addressed to ensure our comfort.

The villa is beautiful - an architecture lover's paradise - and photos absolutely do not do it justice. The villa itself is absolutely breath-taking and reflects an obvious dedication to design integrity, elemental innovation and environmental inspiration. I am awestruck by the villa's details, particularly the liberal use of almond and confident use of space. It's absolutely gorgeous. (When I asked the property manager, Thomas, for the name of the architect, I was further impressed to hear that the owner himself, Ralf, desgined it.)

Thomas, by the way, does a marvelous job; he's brilliant at choreographing all the little details of managing the property while maintaining an air of ease and charisma. He had answers to every question and obviously knew both the property and the area intimately. (My only constructive suggestion is that, for smaller groups, perhaps guests can have flexibility in the frequency of the maid.)

Other than that, everything was perfect. Villa Lunatica was exactly what we were looking for and served as the perfect location for relaxing and absorbing the environment. I could not hold a higher review of it.

All our best,
Krista and John

p.s. - we saw monkeys on the property every single day during your stay at Lunatica - close enough to touch and feed. I can almost assure you that you will too.

My husband and I got married in Costa Rica and we were fortunate enough to have the LunaTica as our gorgeous backdrop! The home was more than large enough to accommodate both of our families and everyone had their own private spaces all with fabulous views. The views of the ocean, the rainforest, and the wildlife are sights you truly must see for yourself! The photos, as great as they are, still don't do this house justice. The architecture is like nothing you will ever find in the states.

The wonder of this house doesn't end with the architecture and views because the staff is out of this world! We LOVE Thomas! He was professional and so helpful from the very second Ralf put me in touch with him. And never grew tired of my incessant emails as I was trying to plan wedding thousands of miles away. From the moment we arrived, He was there to make sure we felt welcome and to see that we were settled in. He was there every time any issue arose! And la piece de resistance, sweet Thomas drove 30 miles outside of Quepos to retrieve tables for my wedding reception! What a guy!! Talk about going over and beyond the call of duty! Hazel, the maintenance man, and housekeeper were also fabulous, helpful, and accommodating! They are a fantastic staff!

Another jewel at this house is the chef! Marisol and her husband are incredible!! My husband and I usually enjoy trying out new restaurants when we travel but elected to have a chef with this trip because of the large number of people we had to accommodate. This was the best decision we've ever made! Having someone prepare your meals after you have had a fun day and not having to get all dolled up to go out and then they clean while you devour the gourmet delictibles, is priceless! The food was unbelievable!

I can not say enough wonderful things about this house! Ralf, the owner, was a pleasure to work with. Thomas and the staff are delightful. And the house is incredible! We will remember this trip forever!!

Spectacular view, the master apartment on the top is stunning. A pool 30 meters down in the subterrain towards the sea is like an oasis amidst the jungle hosting humming birds, monkeys and sloths all around...awesome!

Secret hideaway

I absolutely love Manuel Antonio, there is so much to do, so many interesting people, so many adventures to be had! But I also love feeling I have a private oasis to come home to - and that is nearly impossible to find in Manuel Antonio with all the hotels, hostels, villas, inns, restaurants, bars, and shops! Yet right there, right in the heart of Manuel Antonio, on top of the cliff but below the crowd, is a spectacular villa with every amenity, amazing service, and privacy beyond your dreams - the views are of jungle to the ocean and islands, the pool is yours and yours alone in a garden of unbelievable beauty, the home is nestled into a valley and is the last home on the road - you will not believe how close you are to all the action yet how far away it feels as you watch the sun set over what seems to be your private ocean. WOW. And then there is the house itself - it is so beautiful, it terraces down the hill and climbs above it, it has spectacular views from everywhere and yet is so beautiful itself it pulls you back in. It is so comfortable we never wanted to leave but so close to the action that we often did! The concierge is brilliant, the suggested tours beyond expectation, the overall quality of the experience absolutely top notch!

Ready to go back to Lunatica

5 of 5
Submitted: May 17, 2011 Stayed: April 2011
We spent four dreamy days at Lunatica. On the second day we realized Lunatica is an experience - way more than a great place to stay. We also saw all kinds of animals on the grounds - lots of monkeys, a baby sloth napping in a tree, weird iguana type creatures. Both house and pool were completely private. The house is very well located - you are on the side of a hill with only trees and animals between you and the ocean. Then you walk up the driveway and you are on the main road of Manuel Antonio - right near Cafe Milagro and Hotel Si Como No. Other restaurants are a 5-10 minute walk. FYI - we rented a tiny Hyundai and we had no problems getting it up and down the very steep driveway.

The pictures are very accurate. We were surprised to learn that the property has been around a while because it felt modern, super clean and new. Customer service was great - we were picked up from the Quepos airport.
I am recommending Lunatica to all my friends (and making them jealous!)

We just returned from Villa LunaTica and had an amazing time. The property is absolutely gorgeous --house and also the garden leading down to the pool which was like our own private butterfly garden. We also especially enjoyed the scenic hammock area, which in addition to the unbelievably beautiful view was the afternoon destination for reading and nap! Loved every minute of our stay.

Easy Yet Exotic

Villa Lunatica is glamorous and luxurous with just enough adventure to make it an incredibly exciting experience. The trip there is easy, especially with Thomas, the manager, meeting guests on the tarmac at the Quepos airport, and delivering them to Lunatica's doorstep. The first morning I woke up there, before the sun rose, eager to hear the sounds of the hillside jungle stirring. First, there was a loud squawk, and an answering squawk, then a huge ROAR, then an equally loud ROAR. What was in there besides birds, sloths and monkeys? Lions? Tigers? T Rexes? Nope, none of those, I learned later that morning. Howler monkeys are the ones making all the scary noises. We were able to check them out with our National Park tour guide Henry, who showed us their worried faces through his telescope. Who knows what they worry and roar about! The place is truly paradise. The blooming gardens around the house are beautifully maintainted by the friendly gardener, who can point out amazing wildlife as well. The maid keeps the house immaculate, and if you should engage the cook, you will eat not only an awesome meal that night, but awesome leftovers for days to come.

A group of my friends and I rented this house for our 30th birthday celebration. I am always nervous renting something like this online, never sure what you are going to get when you arrive. This house is fantastic! Ralph, the owner and Thomas the house manager are easy to deal with, and fair. I would definitely not only stay at this house again, but recommend it to anyone who is looking for a cool place to stay.

Luna Tica

Our family stayed 10 days in Luna Tica Manuel Antonio Costa Rica. We have three teenagers and they were well entertained and did not want to leave. We are a surfing family and the waves were incredible. The home is beautiful and comfortable. The home was in a great location. If you have an elderly individual or someone with disability in your family- the steep hill to the home maybe hard to walk everday so you might want to rent a car.
The service from the staff was excellent. Thomas the house manager was readily available and assist with your stay.
You do not need to rent a car; the restaurants are within walking distance. You can walk to the beaches or take a bus. The people in Costa Rica are warm and friendly. Definately returning to Luna Tica for another vacation in Costa Rica

From our Guest-Book:
The house is stunning. It has a good vibe to it. We were only two people but it's so nice to be able to spread out a bit. It's special. So much so that we didn't see much of the surrounding area.
