Villa Catalina 10, Potrero
3-Bedroom, Ocean-View Hillside Villa

Villa Catalina 10 in Potrero is a 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath, split-level villa on a gorgeous green hill overlooking Costa Rica’s Playa Prieta.

Unit 10 is the largest of the luxury villas at Villa Catalina on this hillside development, where the steepness of the terrain offers stunning, unobstructed views.

Big, wrap-around terraces furnished with dining tables, lounge chairs, a swinging chair and a barbecue offer panoramic, 180-degree views of hills, ocean and sky.

And we haven’t even talked about the interior yet! Vaulted ceilings, sumptuous furnishings, elegant art, air conditioning and ceiling fans make this a visually stunning and eminently comfortable space.

Three bedrooms downstairs feature a king bed, queen bed and bunk bed. All have televisions and private bathrooms. The gleaming wooden bedroom furniture is beautiful, and so are the window views.

The living room on the upper floor features a sectional sofa, flatscreen TV and big ocean-facing windows.

The kitchen has spacious granite counters and stainless-steel appliances, and a window offers its own ocean view. A bar seats four and an oval glass dining table seats six, offering plenty of room for entertaining. There’s also a laundry room.
