Esparza House | Exclusive Private Castle in Costa Rica, Full Staff & Ocean View

11 Bedroom House in Esparza

El Castillo de Esparza is one of Costa Rica’s most iconic private estates, long celebrated among distinguished travelers and now available for exclusive rental. Set high above the Gulf of Nicoya with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, this extraordinary private castle offers privacy, scale, and service rarely found anywhere in Central America.
Spanning over 45,000 square feet, the estate is fully gated and ideal for romantic escapes, family reunions, milestone celebrations, corporate retreats, incentive travel, weddings, and private events. Guests enjoy complete use of the property with total privacy and uninterrupted ocean views.
The estate features 10 spacious bedrooms and 10+ bathrooms, including two expansive multi-room suites, comfortably accommodating groups from 2 up to 30 guests. The Main House alone spans approximately 25,000 sq ft, complemented by two guest houses, all fully air-conditioned and thoughtfully designed for comfort and elegance.
Originally owned by a Belgian Countess, the castle was designed by a renowned German architect and crafted using Costa Rican hardwoods and local artisanship. Every space reflects timeless architecture blended with tropical luxury.

Pricing & Booking Notes
Because this is a large, fully staffed private estate, VRBO’s automated pricing does not always reflect the most accurate or favorable rates.
Pricing varies based on group size and season, typically averaging USD $220–$240 per person per night.
Smaller groups enjoy significantly lower per-person rates than larger groups, and all pricing includes exclusive use of the entire estate and full staff services.
Please contact us directly with your group size so we can provide an exact quote and ensure the best possible rate.

Summary: This place is spacious and gorgeous and takes the Pura Vida motto to heart. It easily accommodated our large group of 16 adults. The staff were helpful, happy and part of our family by the time we left. Our dirty laundry magically disappeared and returned clean and folded or hung. We made use of all the outdoor amenities like the water slide, pool, hot tub, putting green, and tennis court. Our mornings started with coffee on the veranda and then a full breakfast was served buffet style. We had lunch on the veranda or by the pool. We had drinks on the upper terrace at sunset every night. Then we went to the dining room for some of the best meals we have ever had. Live entertainment and a day trip were arranged for us. We simply could not have asked for more. This was a visit to remember for the rest of our lives.
