Originally owned by former president Rodrigo Carazo Odio and First Lady, Estrella Zeledon de Carazo, Villa Blanca has become a renown and cherished Costa Rica destination. The architecture reflects the original farm village concept, with a welcoming Hacienda, offering guests exceptional Costa Rican hospitality, premier dining, a private theater, conference facilities, and pampering spa menu.

“Beautiful resort!”

Reviewed 13 May 2013 NEW

My daughter and I stayed two nights here and loved the almost "Irish" fog and dew. The weather was cool at night and we were happy we brought jackets with us. We thoroughly enjoyed the cozy fireplace and lovely room and the bathroom was beautiful! We also booked a day tour to see the volcano, shop, and lunch. Our guide/driver... More

“Loved it”

Reviewed 10 May 2013

This resort is beautiful. The rooms were spacious and comfy. And the massage was awesome. I would definitely stay here again. The live rabbits and parrots added the right touch to staying in this paradise. The fresh fruit at breakfast was delicious. The only downside was that we arrived a little on the early side and the rooms weren't ready,... More

We spent 3 nights a VB and especially enjoyed the night walk and the baby zip line down the road. The food was fantastic.

Villa Blanca is a magical one-of-kind place; I'm afraid if I write a good review it will be overrun, but I also hope they succeed and continue to be one of my favorite retreats. A place to visit for a part of Costa Rica unrelated to the tourist traps and beaches, with a staff of professionals who go out of... More

Reviewed 30 April 2013

This place is located about 2 hour bus drive from the airport in San Jose. A beautiful, quiet and a remote resort, best suited for a family reunion or a small wedding party. The views were fantastic, when the clouds lifted at mid mornings. On a clear morning, Arenal volcano was visible in the west. The main lobby is small... More
