El Castillo de Esparza

Located on the Central Pacific coast of Costa Rica, this secluded mountaintop estate is located just an hour and a half from the San Jose Airport. Complete with ten bedrooms, large pool and Jacuzzi, and tennis courts, the property overlooks the blue Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Nicoya, which provide a stunning backdrop for Costa Rica’s famed sunsets.

Built for the Countess of Baillet-Latour, this spacious nine-acre estate is known locally as El Castillo de Esparza. This elegant residential compound with extraordinarily lush grounds offers over 43,000 square feet of buildings offering privacy and a host of activities for your family or group.

The manor house and guest house are fully air-conditioned. The pool is surrounded by an expansive deck with chairs, tables and lounges for all. The pool house is a convenient place to relax and offers facilities for dinners or barbecues for up to twenty people.

The luxuriously landscaped grounds include not only a waterfall but also numerous fountains that create an air of leisure and relaxation. There are many activities within the compound, including tennis, golf chipping and putting, croquet, bocci ball and more.
El Castillo is fully staffed to make your stay truly carefree.

El Castillo is centrally located so that you can easily travel for deep sea fishing, surfing, traversing a canopy tour through the rain forest, visiting a live volcano, shopping the local Costa Rican artisans and craftsman, white water rafting, visiting casinos and restaurants or playing golf.
