Our Private Villa Rental
43,000 square feet of
Castle luxury living space.
Originally built for royalty by a renowned German architect, El Castillo de Esparza, known affectionately as The Castle, stands among Costa Rica’s most distinguished landmarks. Spanning over 43,000 square feet of refined living space, the estate blends old-world grandeur with the warmth of tropical design, offering an unparalleled setting for family gatherings, weddings, executive retreats, and private celebrations.
Exclusive use, fully staffed, air-conditioned and a wide range of on-site activities.
Stunning five-acre private estate with breathtaking views of the Gulf of Nicoya.
Nestled on five secluded acres along Costa Rica’s Pacific coast, The Castle overlooks both ocean and mountains, creating an atmosphere of serenity and splendor. High ceilings, fine stonework, and rich Costa Rican hardwoods define its architecture. Just one hour from San José’s international airport, the estate is surrounded by mature trees, red-stalk palms, and lush tropical blooms — a peaceful sanctuary for extraordinary moments.
History
Crafted for the Senses.
Two presidential luxury master suites and two grand suites within the manor house, all featuring en-suite bathrooms. Two guest houses provide six additional bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, along with additional sleeping areas available.
Some call it Paradise, Now you can call it Home.
Whether for a family escape or a milestone celebration, El Castillo de Esparza offers a world entirely your own, a private resort defined by service, beauty, and the timeless soul of Costa Rica.
We believe luxury isn’t about what you own, it’s about how you’re treated. That’s why El Castillo de Esparza feels more like a private residence than a hotel. Every guest is welcomed like family, every detail handled with intuition. Service here is quiet, seamless, and deeply human.
