Un lugar donde quisieras quedarte por siempre! La estadía fue hermosa, a pesar de algunos dias de lluvia la casa fue super espaciosa y muy acogedora, excelente wi-fi ya que estaríamos trabajando remoto por lo tanto buena calidad inclusive en video llamadas. La casa esta decorada con una temática artística lo cual le da un aspecto colorido y vivo. Por las noches los balcones muestran un cielo estrellado que al combinarse con poca luz artificial en los alrededores hacen de la noche todo un espectaculo. La casa está rodeada de una selva y una vibración hermosa y poderosa. En el día se pueden apreciar, aves, lapas, monos y hasta algunas aves terrestres bastante exoticas y unicas de la zona. Wilberth la persona que nos ayudó con llaves, dirección fue amable y atento a requerimientos hasta en el más mínimo detalle. La casa esta a 3 minutos de dos hermosas playas sin oleaje dentro del mismo vecindario, bosques y río. Muchas gracias Paola e Gabrielle y gracias por compartir este hermoso lugar!

Our stay at Paola and Gabriele's was outstanding. We cannot think of a better place where to spend the Covid home confinement. We had a huge garden, with tropical trees teeming with wildlife: scarlet macaws, tucans, fiery billed aracari, howler monkeys, squirrel monkeys and capuccin monkeys and so so many otger birds. The house is well equiped and very spacious, just as it shows in the photos. The neirborhood is quiet and safe, and the beach is 15 minutes away on foot. There is a mini supermarket, a bakery and a hardware shop close by, plus different neighbors sell eggs or fish directly. We loved staying here and we will miss it dearly! I hope we can come back in a not so distant future. There is nothing like stepping out in the garden and picking up the tropical fruit directly from the tree! ;-)

We had a good time at the villa. There is much space to relax and you are surrounded by nature. There where lots of animals nearby, which you can observe from the veranda. Paola was very helpful planning our tours on osa peninsula. The caretaker (Wilberth) managed occuring problems with the house immediately. Just to mention is that the climate and age left their traces at the villa (bathrooms, equipment of kitchen, washing machine, mosquito nets, Fans, Lights ...). There is no WiFi as mentioned in the description, but make sure your prepaid provider is not "claro" as there is no connection with that one in Cañaza. Paola mentioned she has Kolbi (or similar) which seems to work. The House could have been a bit cleaner, especially the kitchen. This was the only thing we were not so comfortable with, therefore we went out for dinner quite often. Although being directly in the nature the house was not too full of insects. The trick with the outside lights mentioned by others worked fine for us as well, also we had our own mosquito nets above the beds. The House is not far from Puerto Jiminez (with Car) and there ist a very nice small super Mercado nearby (Just at the Corner from the Main street to the House). To visit the Corcovado Park from la Leona requires an approx. two hours Car Drive (4x4) on very bumpy roads. The entrance "Tigre" is closer but we were told that the hike there is quite long and challanging (which was not suitable for us as we are travelling with two Babies). The best beach for surfing (Pan Dulce) is also around one hour Car Drive away. With the Missing WiFi it would have been nice to have some information material about what to do in and around the house (super markets, way to the beach, what fruits can be found in the garden, how to use the washing mashine, how to get to Corcovado etc.) Overall we had a good time in and around the house and enjoyed being woken by howler monkeys and Aras :).

Paola's place is by far one of the best buildings around, the house is fresh and open, high ceilings and great wood works, great balconies and a huge property for yourself. Weather is humid and warm around the zone but somehow the house feels fresh and airy. The nearest beach is around the corner (800mts ~10/15 minutes lovely walk) and it is a really good one. If the tide is high you can go left from the entrance and be in a cool beach, but if it is low, go to the right and you will find little individual beaches between fallen trees and palms, really nice. Everything in the house worked fine and the clothes dryer is a MUST, hanging clothing will not dry them. Maybe a couple more EURO-to-AMERICAN adapters for electrical appliances or phone chargers could be useful. And lastly a really good tip if you will stay here in the future, at night, leave the outside first floor white lights, those will attract ALL the bugs to them and let us leave without the mosquito net, no repellent needed even. Completely a game changer compared with the 1st night when we turned off all the lights at night. Totally recommended

This home is beautiful, large and clean. The caretaker and his family live on a casita on the property and were very sweet. It's a wonderful property, beautiful balcony and great kitchen, perfect for a small group or family who want to get away and enjoy nature and solitude. Fair warning, we were not able to get data on our phones for miles and there isn't wifi. (This area of CR was the only one we didn't have data.) So be sure to make your plans before arriving in the Corcovado area!

Es una hermosa casa en un lugar privado, me gustó que no tenga televisor ni Internet para descansar. Se pueden observar monos y lapas al lado de la casa

La maison est magnifique. Le jardin est grand et on peut y voir des singes, des perroquets et des lézards. Les trois chambres sont confortables et les balcons sont bien équipés (chaises et hamacs). Quelques petits points à considérer: il fait extrêmement chaud et les ventilateurs au plafonds ne sont pas efficace. Prévoyez acheter des ventilateurs à Puerto Jimenez (60$ chaque chez BM) si vous êtes durant la période chaude. Il n’y a pas de wifi ni de réseau cellulaire (ce qui est bien correct mais il faut prévoir d’avance si vous avez des appels à faire). La plage est plus loin que le 600 mètres décris dans l’annonce. En fait, elle est a 1,6km et il fallait donc y aller en voiture. La ville de Puerto Jimenez est mignonne et il y a plusieurs superbes plages facilement accessible. Willberth qui nous a accueilli est très gentil et accueillant. Il nous a aidé avec nos questions. Nous recommandons cette maison!
