This place was simply amazing

Beautiful villa - truly one of those “once in a lifetime” spots. The view is to die for!!! It’s definitely located in a small town (definitely not touristy) but the guidebook D & K provided was sooo helpful and every restaurant we went to was amazing! We even booked the zip line tour they recommended and it was great! Waking up to the sunrise and that view each morning was something else! Had the best week with my husband and we will definitely be back! The place was perfectly decorated, so clean and well stocked with everything you need! Highly recommend!!!

This place is BREATHTAKING!!! Looks just as beautiful in person as it does in the photos. You can see the whales tail from the balcony. You will absolutely need a 4x4 vehicle!!! Even for other places in the surrounding area, you will need it. You are in the middle of the rainforest, so yes, expect bugs...ants, moths, grasshoppers, geicos, etc. They weren't bothersome, just hanging out. My husband and I slept with the doors open at night and slept lovely. Just don't keep the lights on at night. The doors do lock, but the area is private and secluded if safety is a concern. Dagmar, the host is an amazing woman. She met us there upon arrival. She's always around if you need anything. Once booked you will be provided with a guidebook that will tell you everything you need to know. It also gives spot on recommendations for food, activities, etc. Overall 10/10 and we will be returning!

Costa Rica is beautiful! Achiote is a marvel design to behold! Dagmar was a pleasure as our host. She was communicative and offered a ton of suggestions for things to do and places to eat. The views were unmatched!! From the sunset, beautiful plants and trees to the toucans you can see from the balcony, Achiote provides a panoramic spectacle. Word of caution: if you don't like camping, you may not be comfortable here. While the design of the place is amazing, there are some places where the doors do not close all the way. Thus allowing lizards, mosquitos, moths, spiders and other bugs to get inside. At least one night of sleep was interupted by tossing and turning from bugs. Also, you will not be able to leave food out as the tiny sugar ants would find it and make it theirs. This review was done so there is full disclosure prior to booking. With that being said, my wife and I, would return for another stay. Thank you Dagmar!!

We absolutely loved our stay at Dagmar’s place! The space is exactly like the photos, if not even more stunning in person. Dagmar, who is also the architect, has created something truly special. We fell in love with the design and how beautifully it blends into the surrounding nature. She was incredibly welcoming and shared thoughtful local recommendations that really enriched our experience. A perfect spot for anyone looking for a unique, peaceful retreat in nature.

Very clean and organized. And of course the views were amazing! Such a great experience, would highly recommend!

The house is simply stunning. Pictures and words cannot describe the place and the view. If you like architecture and nature, this is the place for you. The house is equipped with everything and everything is designed in detail. We did not miss air conditioning, the breeze on the mountain is pleasant if you leave the doors open and there are fans. Dagmar is very nice and has great local recommendations. We loved it.

This will go down as one of my favorite stays. Dagmar’s place is absolutely magical. I was slightly concerned about being in nature and reading reviews about bugs. My husband and I love nature, but don’t necessarily love being one with it. Yes, there are bugs, but I actually didn’t find them to be all that bad. My only complaints would be that having ac would be nice. It gets HOT. The nights were a bit tougher than I expected. My husband and I also had purchased a bunch of groceries for breakfast because it is a bit of a trek up and down the hill and we figured we would also save some money. Unfortunately, I went to make breakfast and the propane tank was empty. It was early and I reached out, but didn’t hear anything for a bit which was fine. Eventually we were too hungry and went to get a bite. We heard from Dagmar who said it would be approximately an hour. It ended up being closer to 2.5 hours which was ok, but an update would’ve been nice. 10/10 stay. We hope to visit again!

This home is nothing short of incredible—from the beautiful views, the stunning architecture, the comfortable beds & the wonderful host Dagmar who provided such amazing local recommendations. This was by far one of the most beautiful airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in & we will definitely be back! You definitely need a 4x4 to get to the home & please note there is no AC and lights have to be off by dark to avoid bugs entering the home as there are cracks under the doors etc but overall the bugs weren’t an issue and there is a fan in the closet we plugged into the wall & a ceiling helped with the heat at night. During the day we opened the glass doors and let the cool breeze in. It was pure perfection & I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. You must stay in this Airbnb once in your lifetime!!! We did the sunset horseback riding tour, massage at the Airbnb & ate at a few of the restaurants dagger recommended. They were all fantastic and the highlight of our trip!

Without a doubt, this is the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at, and I travel often. Visiting this place was the sole reason I came to Uvita: it had been on my must-visit list for the past two years, and it was truly the best gift I could give myself. This home is an architectural masterpiece that immerses you completely in nature. I’m not usually a morning person, but here, I found myself waking up at 5 AM each day to the soothing sounds of birds and the soft hues of the pastel sky. If you’re looking for a true escape, this is your El Dorado. Outside, you feel as if you’re floating above the bay, and inside, the design is so thoughtfully curated that it’s simply perfection. If you’re eager to discover Uvita, Dagmar and Karel have prepared an incredibly detailed guide with everything you could possibly need. They are exceptional hosts who truly pay attention to every detail. This place exceeded all expectations and is a dream come true for anyone seeking a serene and inspiring retreat

This house is a gem in the jungle. One of the most special places I’ve ever visited. We stayed for a full week which I recommend because you can really integrate with the surroundings and experience something truly unique. The architecture is impeccable - Dagmar designed this place beautifully and sustainably! Additionally the host was super responsive and helpful with local recs which is a plus! I will definitely visit again and cannot recommend this place enough!

How to say … Breathtaking! We often travel to beautiful places but this one was among our top 3 Everything was quality the materials , the bedding,... The view is incredible, it feels like you're hanging in the void and when you're in bed you see the sea as far as the eye can see It's just sublime The best bnb air in Costa Rica and from afar! We were well received by the owner who herself designated the whole house with taste Golden Moment of Time

Our stay was absolutely incredible. The villa was beautifully designed, offering a perfect blend of luxury and nature with stunning views of the surrounding jungle and ocean. Waking up to the breathtaking scenery + sounds of wildlife makes you feel like you’re in paradise. We also enjoyed a relaxing massage from the comfort of the villa thanks to the host who provided endless recommendations. Warmest thanks to the host for this unforgettable experience!

This has been by far my favorite stay 🩷 We arrived late, like 7pm. It gets dark here pretty quick. She was so sweet to greet us & give us a tour personally. I was more than pleased to learn about her & how she designed this villa. What she shared with me, inspired me & I am so grateful I had this opportunity. It was nice to be in a space a woman that literally had a vision & blueprint. Now she gets the pleasure to reap the benefits of her labor. I wouldn’t wish anything less for her. Dagmar has a beautiful energy & super helpful with any questions you can think of. Paradise meets nature is a understatement. I felt so safe. I stayed here with my 7 year old son. I can’t wait to come back to visit. Also, it’s interesting that we have not gotten 1 misquito bite Lol.

The view from this villa is breathtaking. When you open your eyes in the morning, you’ll be amazed by the clouds rolling across the sky. It’s perfect for yoga and meditation. There are many lovely cafes and restaurants down the mountain. I had a wonderful two-day stay here. Dagamar promptly assisted us with all our needs and quickly replaced the water heater. As for the insect issue, it wasn’t as bad as some reviews mentioned. I used six ultrasound insect repellent, and within the area where it were placed, there were no insects. Additionally, with continuous rain, even with all the glass doors open, there were hardly any bugs. I would definitely come back if I have the chance and highly recommend this place.

such a cool place we had no plan and based our vacation around this airbnb but it turned out WAY better then we expected, there was a list of things that were given to us about nearby restaurants and waterfalls and beaches and numbers to book tours with and we were lucky enough to visit all the waterfalls alone expect for the one at the national park. Idk what happened but the day on check out our battery to the car was dead but the hosts helped us out, thanks for that! There was some bugs in the villa but it’s normal just sweep em out, view was amazing. Hop in the pool while it’s raining and go to the beach, it’s a vibe. Not pouring rain but you know what I mean.

This place is an architectural beauty and the views are stunning! It’s definitely an amazing spot for daytime hang outs and sunset viewing. The pool is also beautiful and provides a welcome reprieve from the heat. Dagmar also provided many recommendations for hiking, beaches and restaurants that we enjoyed visiting. Definitely need a 4x4 vehicle! It’s VERY steep and rugged — and slippery in the rain. We did not end up sleeping here at night, though. The glass throughout the home does not touch the floor or ceiling so the bugs, including hand-sized spiders, were all over the place in the evening. My husband and I really enjoy camping, hiking, etc. but the amount of bugs was a bit too much for us, despite our love of the outdoors and jungle. We leveraged the space to enjoy the day, views and sunset. The pictures are representative of the space but the description may need to be more explicit so people are aware of the bugs.

Danger is an EXCELLENT host! And her Airbnb should be a Top 10 AirBnB gem! The setting is impossible to describe, on of the best views we've ever experienced. The vibe and decor are so comfy, the plunge pool is so refreshing. We are so grateful to Dagmar for how responsive she was and attentive to our needs! And all the energy and passion she put into making her Villa so incredibly perfect. Thank you!! We will return :)

The place and views were amazing! Loved hanging out in the pool all day enjoying the views of the ocean and jungle.

Dagmar's air bnb lived up to the pictures, reviews, and more! The boho theme fits magically with the environment of the jungle. The view was unreal and gives you plenty of reasons to never leave. I visited with my sister but this place is great for a solo trip, friend, or couples trip. There are other residents off the road so that you don't feel totally isolated but it is a private residence. The two big ticket items to be aware of are that it's literally in the jungle so you will need to feel comfortable driving a 4x4 up an unpaved road (you get use to it or can hire a driver!) and the open space concept does allow for bugs to come into the space. Dagmar is extremely welcoming and provides everything you need from bug spray to recommendations in the area. I loved every second of this stay and I will most definitely be staying here again in the future.

Beautiful stay for people who want serenity. The views were breathtaking. Dagmar was a great host. She communicated very well. She also provided great recommendations for things to do, places to eat etc. The only thing I will say is if you’re not a nature person then this may not be the stay for you, bugs were all around (which we expected giving the location/season). Also, it gets hot at night as there is no AC. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. We can’t wait to come back :-)

Dagmar’s place is beautiful - right out of a magazine. The photos don’t do it justice. There is an incredible attention to design detail - everything has its place. Getting to it can be a challenge - it’s tucked away at the end of a dirt road up a mountain with steep rocky paths. You’ll need a 4x4. But the view is worth it. And after a few runs up and down the mountain, the drive becomes much easier. You’ll have a villa to yourself. There are 2 villas side by side but you don’t really meet/see the other villa. You will also have a full kitchen and great amenities. Do note, this is living in nature. There are bugs at night, but there is a net that surrounds the bed that helps. There is no A/C though. We came in Feb so it got a bit warm at night. We left the doors open for air circulation. But that meant we didn’t really turn on lights after sunset because we didn’t want to be joined by friends. The place is a short drive to everything - food, beach, activities. We loved it!

There would never be enough time to spend here. Christmas day in this place was just a dream. In and out of the pool and watching the view couldn't ever get boring, the sunset is one to remember and the attention to detail is second to none. We felt at peace soon as we stepped through the door, and the pictures are unreal but they do not do it justice! Idyllic and tranquil couple of days. Thank you to Dagmar for being an amazing host, we will remember this stay for a lifetime ☁️

We experienced so much happiness and pleasure while staying in this beautiful villa. Our stay in casa Jaspis in Costa Rica was an absolute delight. It's a rare find that seamlessly blends luxury with nature, providing an unforgettable escape from the ordinary. I wholeheartedly recommend this property to anyone seeking a unique and rejuvenating getaway. We experienced such beautiful sunsets that were truly life-changing. Dagmar's guidebook was also very helpful and we enjoyed every minute of our stay in the Uvita/Playa Hermosa area. Uvita was also a very nice place to spend time in! Plenty of restaurants, shops, and options for leisure, we even booked a 1 week membership at a local gym! Our time here was nothing short of extraordinary, and we can't wait to return to this slice of paradise in the future. We reccommend staying here 1000%. You will not regret it.

The villa is an absolute dream! The view over the sea, the location at the top and the beautiful architecture/amenities - all at its best! You don't want to leave! We really enjoyed our stay and can unconditionally recommend it! Thank you Dagmar!

Dagmar was a wonderful host and the views were breathtaking even in the rainy season. You absolutely NEED a 4x4 to reach the property. If you’re not comfortable driving, we were given a wonderful list of amenities that come to the villa that we took full advantage of. The property is so quiet, private and secluded. From whale watching, floating breakfast in the infinity pool, and admiring the lightning storms we were really able to connect with nature and fully relax. One thing to note is that it IS private and secluded in nature. We even saw a lemur on the terrace! If (harmless) insects aren’t for you and you are prone to bug bites, Dagmar also has bug sprays and a portable fan for warm nights.

It’s hard to describe this place in just a few words - it took our breath away! The views, the space, the design were all out of this world. Dagmar was super friendly and the guide book was full of amazing recommendations. Our only complaint is that we didn’t book more nights. Waking up early to that view, hitting the beach at low tide then spending our afternoons next to a waterfall is something we’ll never forget! We hope to make it back someday.

The house is a piece of art and the view is even more beautiful than the photos. I am susceptible to bugs bites and got many, but Dagmar provided bug spray and we needed to leave doors open for the breeze. Dagmar got us a fan which I appreciated and slept right next to. FYI there is no oven or microwave. We were lucky to have quiet neighbors in the house immediately next to ours. We could hear them speaking and laughing but it wasn’t a problem. They played music we liked 😉. If they were loud, it would have been a problem. We could also see glimpses of them through the foliage, but tried not to. If you are afraid of heights or insects, it may not be the place for you. Otherwise it is a spectacular architectural splendor. Also, they are not kidding about 4 WD being necessary. We spent one evening on the outside bed during a thunderstorm and it was awesome. We saw howler monkeys in the trees and they will wake you at 5 am with their howls. Sibu was our favorite eatery.

Disgusting. The glass partitions that served as walls are not fully sealed meaning all kinds of vermin are able to crawl inside the villa at all hours of the day and night. Rivers of tiny ants pervaded all the rooms. They found their way into our luggage, toothbrushes, clothing, and bed linens. My husband woke up with bites on this back every night. In the morning, we found dead giant moths, grasshoppers, and stick bugs next to our bed. Then the ants would pull apart their carcasses and carry them to all corners of the villa. I have no problem with the circle of life but I don’t want to watch it play out inches from my face as I lie in bed. My husband and I came here to relax and unwind. Instead, we spent our time de-bugging our possessions. This was the opposite of a vacation. I have no idea how this place has so many good reviews. Stay here at your own risk.

Stunning! Dagmar and her villa are fabulous … gorgeous experience. This building pays sexy respect to Costa Rica.

One of the most beautiful places I've ever stayed at. Dagmar is a sweet angel + has the best style! You can feel her heart and soul in every piece she has at the villa + it feels so special when you're there! The views are breathtaking + glass doors surround the entire house! Even when it rains it's the best place to be! The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could need + has a big fridge. The bed was really comfy with soft sheets + the best pillows + same with the outdoor bed. The shower has organic bath products that smell divine. Everything was perfect. I will definitely come back, because it was so amazing + she was such a lovely host! I didn't want to leave!!!!

We had a fantastic stay at Dagmar’s place. It is truly a gem. You can tell she truly has an eye for architecture and design and we loved her hospitality and how she greeted us upon arrival and gave us a tour. The view is incredible- we could never get tired of it. There were also so many thoughtful touches throughout the home, from the landscaping surrounding the property, the floor to ceiling windows, the daybed outside, the dining area, yoga mats in the closet…I could go on and on. We also did so many things in her guidebook and highly recommend!!! Found so many good places to eat and beautiful secluded beaches and waterfalls from it! The home is in nature so if you’re not a nature person I would keep that in mind…but don’t even think twice. Book this! Literally the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in!

A fantastic find. You will be in the jungle, on top of the mountain overlooking the ocean while staying in a remarkable home. The design of the building lets you become part of nature. We had the pleasure of watching powerful thunderstorms from the day bed. An unforgettable experience. We saw and heard countless species of birds. My wife is a mosquito magnet and she had no issues with biting insects. The home is in the perfect location. Beaches, restaurants and markets are all nearby down the hill. Dagmar is an exceptional host who provided us with a guidebook of the area which has every suggestion you need for a well rounded stay. Scala and La Parcela were great restaurant suggestions. Check them out! The kitchen is well equipped to prepare your own meals because you will want to stay the entire time. We cannot wait to go back!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dagmar’s villa. The views, the attention to detail, and the openness but yet still secluded is what drew us to book. Dagmar was an excellent host and always responded quickly. She stayed in her villa not too far away, but was not overbearing at all. Bugs are to be expected, but nothing out of the ordinary. Dagmar also provided a guidebook with references of restaurants, beaches, and things to do. We were able to book a masseuse and private chef that came to the villa. Incredible! Don’t hesitate, book this place! You won’t regret it.

the most beautiful work of ARTchitecture I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. the views are stunning. the house blends perfectly into nature while showcasing the view, which I could enjoy forever and never tire of. Every square inch of the home is of the highest quality. the breeze was fantastic with the large sliding doors. the plunge pool was a nice way to cool off. the gardens made the villa private even though it's mostly glass. LOVED this place. would recommend it to anyone. Dagmar is a talented creator.

Absolutely breathtaking views, location is just stunning! If you’re looking to get away and be one with nature, this place is perfection.
