+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This beautiful casita is a private haven. Nestled up on the hill behind the quaint fishing village of Mal Pais, it is a quiet retreat surrounded by tropical jungle with 180 degree sea views. Enjoy luxury in the jungle.

Casita Brisas Silencio is a beautifully built romantic getaway. Thoughfully styled with a large wrap around verandah and a fabulous private thatched rancho which extends out over the jungle, offering expansive views of the Cabo Blanco Nature reserve, Sunset Reef surf spot and the varied bird and wildlife that spills over from the reserve into our property. Some of the best birdwatching is enjoyed right from the verandah and troops of Howler and Capuchin monkeys visit us almost daily. Enjoy your own private pool, double swing bed for afternoon lounging and an outdoor kitchen with hob and Webber Gas grill. Inside your casita you will find a king-size bed, air conditioning and a bathroom ensuite. Silencio is fully serviced each day.

Casita Brisas Silencio is part of Casa Brisas del Cabo (see my other listing which offers a main house/lodge and 2 casitas, Casita Brisas Silencio & Casita Brisas Tranquilo) The entire property is situated in a gated community and has a caretaker on site. Guests will have access to a concierge service who will help to arrange outings and excursions. Guests will be left to enjoy their own privacy unless requests are made.

We have fast fibre optic Wi-Fi and a desk, chair and printer can be made available if you need to work.

Amazing time relaxing in the jungle

This place is incredible! A retreat from the busy city while still being within a 10 minute drive to Mal Pais and Santa Teresa. We often would sit and watch the monkeys and birds and just relax. The hosts provided ample suggestions for places to eat and things to do. We certainly plan to come back again. Thanks for having us!

Magnifique

C'était notre second séjour dans cette très jolie villa. Elle est parfaite pour 2 en amoureux. La vue est tout simplement splendide. Le bal des oiseaux au levé du soleil est immanquable (toucans, perroquet, blue jay, piverts...). Sans oublié la visite des capucins ou singes hurleurs. Nous reviendrons avec le plus grand plaisir ! Merci à Philip et son épouse pour leur accueil ainsi qu'à Julie pour nos échanges avant notre arrivée.

Escape

This was just what we were looking for. The setting is beautiful and exceptionally well maintained. Our casita had everything we needed, and Sergio and the property manager were available on site and by email for any questions or needs we had. Also, the owner, Shelley, kindly stayed up to greet us upon our late arrival and was available by phone for any questions or concerns. The property is close to town, local beaches, parks/hiking, restaurants, grocery. We typically ate breakfast, enjoyed coffee and tea on the patio near the pool or under the rancho, then went out and about in the morning and early afternoon to explore and spent afternoon and evenings at the casita where we swam in our pool, read books, played cards, prepared meals in our outdoor kitchen and just RELAXED in the privacy of our own little paradise. We enjoyed a multitude of colorful birds and beautiful sunsets. We would love to return.

Amazing accomodations with a 1st class host

We have been to this part of Costa Rica 3 times and this was by far out favorite place. Let's just say we had such a good time we have a picture with our host in our library.

Absolutely wonderful!

My husband and I just spent 3 absolutely magical nights in Malpais and we couldn't have chosen a more perfect place to stay during our time in Guanacaste. Casita Brisas Silencio is truly extraordinary - beautifully furnished and appointed, completely private, immaculately clean (really important to us) stunningly landscaped, and with extremely comfortable beds and linens. It also presents a uniquely wonderful opportunity to immerse oneself in nature. This place is perfectly and purposefully set up to allow for a maximum outdoor experience and with good reason - its surroundings are a feast for the senses - the cool, refreshing pool, the soothing sound (and view) of the surf breaking on the beaches far below, the fresh, earthy smell of the jungle, and the hilarious daily antics of the monkeys in the trees just off the patio. We especially loved the rancho and gravitated there daily with our morning coffee, to watch the sunset and to experience the nightly thunderstorms. It was a brilliant and thoughtful addition to the property. Finally, we can't end this review without acknowledging the charming, warm, helpful and gracious property manager, Phil, who insisted on carrying in our luggage in the pouring rain, macheted our coconut (truly WAY beyond the call of duty!), alerted us when the Howler monkeys were on the property and otherwise went out of his way to ensure that we were comfortable and happy. Thank you, Phil! One important bit of advice - we highly recommend timing your initial arrival for the daylight hours. That was our intention, but we missed our ferry and ended up driving the last hour at night and in a torrential thunderstorm. The gravel road leading up to the property is narrow, winding, steep and sometimes flanked on both sides by ditches. During daylight hours it was totally fine in our 4 x 4 rental car, but a whole different experience in the dark and rain and for the first time. (But it was worth it!)
