Villa Pura Vida is a thatched 10 pers. villa, built by ourselves in 2004. It really is a lovely house and we have lived in it for 16 years with great pleasure. Then why get out and rent out? In one word: the pandemic. We have had a beautiful catering company and wedding location for more than 30 years, which is normally the place where many weddings, parties and other events take place. We have already given thousands of brides and erasers the day of their lives! Unfortunately none of this is possible at the moment and all parties, weddings, etc. have been canceled or rescheduled due to the pandemic. We have therefore decided to be hospitable in a different way, to give people a pleasant time and at the same time generate an income. Thanks to good friends we were able to add some nice extras (hot tub and sauna) and that is how villa pura vida was born ...
The house surface is approx. 220 m² (excluding the garage and loft, which are used by ourselves) and therefore spacious enough to keep a distance from each other if necessary. In addition, there is constant ventilation with outside air in all rooms. The outside area which you have at your disposal at the villa is approx. 400 m².
