Villa Perezoso

Costa Rican Chef Brings Exquisite Meals, Authentic Cuisine To Luxurious Villa near Rainforests and Beaches


Villa Perezoso, a new luxury vacation villa, located in the quaint, picturesque seaside town of Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, has added a full time chef to its staff.

Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica (PRWEB) April 1, 2009 -- Over Arroyo, 32, has been hired as full-time chef at Villa Perezoso, a luxury four-story Balinese home near the sun and surf of Costa Rica's idyllic ocean beaches and the pristine rainforests of Manuel Antonio National Park.
A native of Manuel Antonio, Arroyo trained in Valencia, Spain, and worked as a chef for 10 years before accepting the position.

At Villa Perezoso, he works with guests to create menus for the week. Whether they have chosen sit down dinners or casual poolside buffets, Arroyo will plan meals that make use of the region's abundant fruits, vegetables and seafood. What guests love most is that Arroyo does all the shopping, cooking and cleaning, leaving them free to enjoy cocktails, animal watching and sunsets from the villa's terrace.
Arroyo's specialties include grilled mahi mahi and mango salad, pasta, sushi/sashimi and tuna poki dinners, fruit platters with papaya dressing, guacamole, calamari fritto, seafood paella, tres leches cake and cocina tipica, Costa Rica's traditional dishes. He loves cooking breakfast, and is known for his fun, friendly demeanor, delivering each meal with a warm "Buen provecho!"

It was carefully prepared and served with such authenticity.
"The food was divine," said guest Susie Biehler of Half Moon Bay, California. "It was carefully prepared and served with such authenticity." Guest Yildiz Dural of Holmdale, New Jersey, said, "Over's food made me feel full, healthy, delighted and nurtured."
Villa Perezoso, which opened in November, is named for the property's original resident - a sloth who oversees things from his guarumo tree home. Summer guests who book a week-long stay by May 15 are eligible for a special introductory package. They'll pay for six nights and receive the seventh night free.
