The magic of Orlando Villella’s vision in La Fortuna de Bagaces
In the heart of La Fortuna de Bagaces, our hotel stands as a testament to the innovation and talent of renowned designer Orlando Villella. Villella has left his mark on some of the most avant-garde architectural design projects in the world. His unique approach combines modern aesthetics with practical functionality while preserving and highlighting the natural environment.
Orlando Villella began his journey in the world of design in his native town in Italy, where he completed his training at a prestigious art and architecture academy. His style is characterized by the fusion of traditional with contemporary elements, creating warm and visually striking spaces. Throughout his career, Villella has worked on projects ranging from luxury resorts to exclusive private residences, each with his own hallmark of creativity and attention to detail.
The seamless design along the rock wall
Villella devised an innovative design that captures the essence of the natural environment. The villas are inspired by the rustic beauty of the surrounding landscape, featuring its stunning rock walls and ridges. This element not only acts as a stunning focal point, but also integrates the interior space with nature in an organic and harmonious way.
The rock face was carefully selected and preserved to reflect the local geology, using locally sourced stones that vary in texture and color. This technique not only beautifies the villas, but also improves the sustainability of the building, helping to maintain the interior temperature and reducing the need for artificial air conditioning.
Each villa has been designed to offer a luxury experience in perfect harmony with nature. Large windows and sliding doors allow for a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces, inviting guests to enjoy the panoramic views and fresh breezes of the escarpment. The interiors are decorated with natural materials and in earthy color palettes that complement the rock wall, creating a serene and relaxing atmosphere.
A unique experience
When staying at our hotel, guests not only enjoy Orlando Villella’s design history but also first-class accommodations and a deep connection to nature.

Every detail has been carefully considered to offer an unforgettable stay, where luxury and nature meet in perfect harmony. We invite you to discover the beauty and innovation that Orlando Villella has brought to our villas.
