&nbsp; Casa Bellavia When it comes to a truly first-class, authentic Costa Rican vacation experience, Casa Bellavia is the ultimate destination. Enjoy complete privacy and seclusion in the jungle while remaining only 12 minutes from the enclave of Dominical, an eclectic village nearby, nestled directly on the Pacific coast. This magnificent property rests in the heart of 2000 acres of natural preserve, including Comunidad Ecologica de La Guapilena, Hacienda Baru, and the Firestone Reserve. It was designed by the most award-winning architect in Indonesia, was entirely fabricated and constructed in Bali, Indonesia, then deconstructed and transported across the Pacific to be meticulously reassembled on the eco-reserve in which you’ll stay. As you pass through an extended plant-adorned, glass-covered walkway adjacent to the jungle on your entry to Bellavia, you pass over a small bridge, spanning a sixty-foot water feature and three of five hand-hewn copper fountains. A second fifty-foot pond coupled with copper fountains is present in the rear of the house. The home was designed to bring the outdoors indoors with twelve to fourteen-foot glass walls featured both front and back. The interior boasts open spaces and high ceilings featuring exposed Indonesian wood beams, rattan-covered ceilings, and hand-carved accents. Additionally, all furnishings and art were thoughtfully designed and custom fabricated in Bali and imported to adorn Casa Bellavia. Welcome the day with complimentary espresso in the main pod, which features a spacious, fully equipped kitchen with an oversized island including a prep sink and seating, a full dining room, and a gathering area for conversation or TV watching. Movie and video streaming is provided throughout the house with Bose music systems in each pod. As you move out the back of the main living space, a fully covered outdoor seating area is met, incorporating a lounger/couch and an outdoor dining area for meals or morning coffee. The twelve-meter pool area includes reclining loungers, umbrellas, and a sunken firepit attached to the pool with additional seating. The pool additionally features a bale, an elevated and covered space including a ceiling fan and Thai cushions to afford shade while enjoying the pool experience and magical Pacific views. Classic to Balinese homes, the house is laid out in pods featuring three primary-style ensuite bedrooms, which stand alone but are adjacent to the house. Each suite presents ample drawer and closet space featuring dehumidification to keep clothes fresh. The main primary incorporates a small refreshment bar inclusive of copper sink, refrigerator, and complimentary espresso while its bath affords an oversized tub, steam room, and indoor shower, as well as a tantalizing outdoor garden shower. Each pod is equipped with individual air-conditioning. Hundreds of thousands of people visit the Manuel Antonio National Park each year to experience the wildlife and jungles of Costa Rica. At Casa Bellavia, you can privately enjoy macaws, sloths, toucans, emerald parrots, monkeys, and beyond in this pristine, 28-acre eco-reserve. Walk a maintained path into the jungle past primary rainforest foliage to experience quiet hours on a furnished platform cantilevered over the convergence of two creeks. Or, walk an additional path to find the 60-foot waterfall on the property. At Casa Bellavia, you can immerse yourself in the experience that is Costa Rica. <b>THINGS TO KNOW</b> No dog(s) are welcome in this home.
