Is the term villa indicative of a specific type of structure such as a single family residence or a multi-unit complex? Is there a specific definition of the word villa in Costa Rica?
Like many words in English and also in Spanish the word ‘villa’ means whatever you think it means…
The problems arise when other people reading your words do not necessarily feel that it means the same thing to them as it does to you…
Scott Oliver – Founder
WeLoveCosytaroica.comStandard american english defines VILLA as a country residence or estate. any pretentious residence, especially one in the country or suburbs maintained as a retreat by a wealthy person.
The Brits simply define it as a detached or semi detached suburban dwelling.I guess it depends on who is advertising, to whom they are directing the advertising and how honest they are. Then again, as Scott points out, it can be a very subjective definition. I have seen some pretty crappy looking “villas” in Costa Rica…and some pretty damned nice ones.
