An Engineering Masterpiece with Panoramic Views in Coveted Tamarindo, CostaRica.

Welcome to Villa Musca, a one-of-a-kind 5-bedroom sunset estate, a true gem within the prestigious gated community of Senderos in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. Crafted as an architectural marvel by renowned developers, this villa is a testament to the blend of luxury and innovation.

Life at Villa Musca is oriented towards outdoor living, with expansive verandas, a solarium, and a terrace that captures spectacular sunset views over the ocean. The fully equipped kitchen opens up to invite the fresh tropical air, perfect for al-fresco dining experiences. The home was built under strict anti-seismic regulations as it sits in what seems to be a suspended attachment to the Cliffside.
Located minutes away from Tamarindo's vibrant center and renowned beaches, Villa Musca offers easy access to many activities. Explore the surf at Playa Grande, indulge in beachside relaxation at Playa Flamingo, or embark on snorkeling adventures at Catalinas Islands. For nature enthusiasts, the nearby Las Baulas National Park promises unforgettable encounters with wildlife and pristine beaches.

Whether you're basking by the infinity pool or savoring cocktails on the terrace, Villa Musca offers an exceptional sanctuary for discerning travelers in search of luxury, privacy, and natural beauty in Tamarindo.

The home is ideal for adults, groups of friends and family with children about the age of 12. The surrounding verandas are glass-free as to take in the views in perfect form, but not for for those that are afraid of heights. While the home is fully secure, we do stand amidst the mountain and in order to enjoy our spectacular views, you must climb up a steep Ramp, there fore a 4x4 vehicle is necessary. The access to the home is comprised by a series of mid level angle ramps, making the home ideal for active adults.

The house is amazing but its not for everyone.
This is one of the most spectacular homes you will ever see. The architecture, engineering, views and location are jaw dropping. But with that comes some major drawbacks. The driveway is so steep that our van could not make it up, so we had to hire a cab to carry our bags and my parents (in their 70's) to the main parking. Then it is another 50' up to the main house via a series of ramps (with luggage in tow). Then it is another 91 vertical steps up to the top bedroom. None of this is a big deal if you are young, in shape, sober and not carrying luggage. There are also some trip hazards in close proximity to 50' drops. The living room only has one couch in it, we had to carry chairs from around the property just so 6 people could sit in the living room together. The house is well stocked with everything you would need and is in close proximity to a nice grocery store. The birds and wildlife around the house really add to the overall mystic of this place. We did have 2 kids with us (10 and 12) and they were fine but I would not be comfortable with a child younger than 6 at this house. Personally, I loved the house but it is not for everyone. The ideal group would be middle aged couples that don't drink too much and are all driving their own 4 wheel drives.

Costa Rica Get Away
A group of us traveling from all over the US but predominantly Alaska came down to Tamarindo for the first time and it did not disappoint! The Casa Barritz is stunning. Extremely clean with unparallel views- it was the perfect setting for our vacation. The only caveat is the driveway-if you are visiting-be sure to get 4 wheel drive and have a sense of adventure. We loved the challenge and got our steps in daily in this mountain nestled oasis. The property management team was fantastic-every single one of them were attentive and helpful and kind. It was such an amazing trip and I would highly recommend this property to anyone traveling in a big group-you had your own space but were still together. We would come back in a heart beat!

Excellent stay in Tamarindo!
We really enjoyed our stay at this fabulous home in the hills above Tamarindo. The views and the home itself, were outstanding. We were one of the first to stay and the home is very well equipped with everything needed during our stay. It is also away from the touristy areas, and quiet but only a 5 minute drive to Tamarindo. There is a lot of construction currently in the development, 7-6 each day. The location is great, very secure in a first-class gated community with guards who patrol. The property is convenient to an amazing grocery store for all your food and beverage needs. A few things to know about the property: being situated on the side of the mountain getting into and out of the home requires a series of ramps to get you, your guests and belongings to the main house. There are two individual villas above and those are all steps. Also the driveway - we were there in late rainy season so it was wet, and steep and has a sharp turn mid way up. You will need a full time four wheel drive. Last, we were disappointed not to be able to use the two upper villas as the airconditioning was not working and the pools up there were not operational. 2-3 couples can fit comfortably in the main house, but we really wanted to spread out a bit for more privacy. Just confirm with the manager that all is operational. The laundry facility was just okay for small loads. The concierge and manager were very good communicators and helped make our stay great!
