Yes. Villa Raya has high-speed Starlink internet and Wi-Fi, a dedicated workspace, air conditioning and ceiling fans. Confirm any specific remote-work or room requirements with your host.
Browse all amenitiesAre breakfast and cleaning included?
A cleaner comes every weekday. Breakfast is available during your stay, and a chef can be added for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Ask your hosts about the breakfast arrangements and any service charges before booking.
What should I know about property safety?
Exterior cameras cover the back garden and pool, and a first aid kit is provided. Both Airbnb listings report that the villa has no smoke alarm and no carbon monoxide alarm. Children should be supervised around the pool. Contact your hosts about current safety provisions and any accessibility needs before reserving.
How far is the beach?
Only a five-minute drive. The villa sits at the very top of the mountain, where the breezes are incredible, above Santa Teresa’s beaches, dining and surf. It is not a beachfront villa.
Explore Santa TeresaHow do I get to the villa?
Ask your host to confirm the best route, current road conditions and whether your chosen vehicle is suitable for the drive up the mountain. Exact directions are shared through your booking. Free on-site parking is available.
Compare the routesDo we need a car in Santa Teresa?
We recommend arranging a 4×4 in advance for a stay at Villa Raya. The villa is at the top of the mountain, so plan transport between the house, beaches and restaurants. Confirm the final route, rental requirements and any transfer arrangements with Suren and Alina before arrival.
When is the best time to visit?
Costa Rica’s tourism board describes a dry season from mid-December to late April and a green season from May to mid-December, with rain, lush landscapes and some businesses closed for part of the wetter period. Use that as a planning framework, not a forecast: microclimates differ.
Read the seasons guideHow do I book and see the price?
Send a direct inquiry from the booking page to Suren and Alina for availability and a quote, or select the four- or five-bedroom Airbnb listing. An inquiry does not confirm a reservation. Airbnb bookings show the final price and terms on Airbnb; this website does not process payments.
Check your datesWhat is the cancellation policy?
Cancellation terms depend on your reservation. For a direct stay, confirm the terms with Suren and Alina before booking. For Airbnb, read the policy shown for your selected listing and dates.
What time is check-in?
Check-in is after 3:00 p.m. Your host greets you. Confirm arrival arrangements and checkout time with your host.

Pets are not allowed.
