Guest access The villa is a private property and is fully for the exclusive use of the guests, including the pool, the hot jacuzzi, the garden and the parking areas. Guests will have full access to the entire villa, the only area that is off-limits is the laundry, located in the garden at the back of the property, which is reserved for cleaning staff. Additionally, access to the pool machinery rooms and the water reserve system is prohibited to prevent any damage. We kindly ask you to respect these areas to ensure the proper functioning of the villa. GUEST REGISTRATION IS MANDATORY In accordance with Airbnb policies, all guests must be properly registered in the reservation. This is essential to ensure safety and respect for the host. The presence of unregistered guests is a serious violation of Airbnb rules and will result in immediate cancellation of the reservation, with the penalty applied according to the “strict” cancellation policy. Other things to note Important information to know before booking: If you choose to stay in the Southern Caribbean of Costa Rica you must be aware that, despite the significant tourist flow and the abundant and diverse offerings, this is one of the most unique and wild areas not only in the country, but in the entire world. This region is globally unique not only for its colorful Afro-Caribbean vibes, for having the most beautiful beaches in the country with incredible crystal-clear waters, lush jungle and rich biodiversity, but also for its climate and, moreover, its complex logistics. Despite the presence of steady tourism, it’s important to understand that obtaining even the most basic items, as well as finding highly specialized technicians, can be a real challenge. We are immersed in rain forest, surrounded by incredible biodiversity, primary jungle, wild animals and lush vegetation. The contact with nature is total and direct. This makes the experience truly fascinating and unique, but it also brings some inevitable practical implications. The climate is peculiar, with consistent temperatures around 30°C / 86°F, extremely high humidity levels, and an unpredictable alternation of intense sun and heavy tropical rains. The air’s salinity is unusually high. These conditions drastically accelerate the wear and tear of all types of materials. Objects, structures and appliances tend to deteriorate much faster than in other parts of the world—often within a few months. Maintenance that elsewhere might be needed only after several years becomes necessary here every month, even for newly built structures. Weather instability can also affect the supply of electricity, water and internet. Service interruptions or fluctuations are common, especially during storms or dry periods. Personal electronic devices are exposed to humidity and voltage fluctuations, so we strongly recommend protecting them properly, as they can be damaged in just a few days. That said, any technician can easily distinguish between climate-related damage and damage caused by negligence. Local logistics are also affected by these conditions: obtaining materials, spare parts or organizing technical assistance requires time and effort that simply cannot be compared to urban areas or other parts of the country, such as the Pacific or the Central Valley. In this context, offering certain services is a true exception and a luxury. For example, the presence of a real, fully functional hot water jacuzzi is a rare privilege in this area—no other property currently offers a similar service. Ensuring comfort under these conditions requires major daily effort, which we hope will be recognized and appreciated by those who choose to visit the wonderful Southern Caribbean. The amazing fauna and flora are a defining feature of this corner of paradise, but it’s important to remember that we are the guests here: this is their home, not ours. Even in the cleanest and most disinfected spaces, it is normal for insects or small animals to find their way in through invisible gaps. No repellent, pesticide or construction can fully keep them out. Leaving doors and windows open may also invite larger visitors. All of this should be embraced as part of the authentic experience of living immersed in an extraordinary natural environment. It is also important to know that, unlike the Pacific area of Costa Rica, the Central Valley or other tropical regions, the Southern Caribbean does not have clearly defined dry and rainy seasons. There are generally wetter periods, but the weather can shift suddenly at any time of year. The tides follow their own unique patterns and can be unpredictable. This is part of the natural charm of the area, with breathtaking and diverse beaches—some perfect for relaxing or snorkeling, others ideal for surfing, and some requiring caution due to strong currents. All of these aspects are essential to understand, especially when choosing to stay in a fully private property, where, out of respect for your privacy, there is no constant supervision. Unlike shared accommodations or places with staff always present on-site, the privacy and exclusivity of a fully private villa means that no one will be there to notice, anticipate or solve small issues before guests do. Living in a private home surrounded by nature means being an active part of the experience, calmly handling any occasional unforeseen event that may still arise despite all possible care and maintenance. In conclusion, it is important to understand that the exclusive and immersive nature of a private villa in the Caribbean jungle also involves conscious participation in the experience.

## Important Information Before Booking

Costa Rica’s Southern Caribbean is a unique and largely wild region. Although it has a steady flow of tourism and a wide range of services, obtaining basic supplies and finding highly specialized technicians can be challenging.

The area is surrounded by rainforest, primary jungle, abundant wildlife, and lush vegetation. Guests experience direct contact with nature, which is a central part of the region’s appeal but also brings practical considerations.

### Climate and Maintenance

Typical temperatures remain around 30°C (86°F), with very high humidity, unpredictable changes between intense sun and heavy tropical rain, and unusually high air salinity. These conditions accelerate the deterioration of materials, structures, and appliances.

Items may wear out within a few months, and maintenance that might only be required every few years elsewhere can be necessary monthly, even in newly built properties. Local logistics also mean that obtaining materials, spare parts, or technical assistance requires more time and effort than in urban areas or other parts of Costa Rica, such as the Pacific region or Central Valley.

Weather conditions may affect electricity, water, and internet service. Interruptions or fluctuations are more common during storms or dry periods. Personal electronic devices should be protected from humidity and voltage fluctuations, as damage can occur within a few days.

Technicians can distinguish between climate-related deterioration and damage caused by negligence.

Under these conditions, certain services are particularly uncommon. A fully functional hot-water jacuzzi is a rare feature in this area, and no other property currently offers a similar service. Maintaining this level of comfort requires significant daily effort.

### Wildlife and Insects

The region’s flora and fauna are an essential part of the experience. Guests should remember that the surrounding environment is the natural habitat of the local wildlife.

Even in clean and carefully disinfected spaces, insects or small animals may occasionally enter through tiny gaps. Repellents, pesticides, and construction methods cannot completely prevent this. Leaving doors or windows open may also allow larger animals to enter.

These encounters are a normal part of staying in an authentic tropical environment.

### Weather, Tides, and Beaches

Unlike Costa Rica’s Pacific region, Central Valley, and other tropical areas, the Southern Caribbean does not have clearly defined dry and rainy seasons. Some periods are generally wetter, but conditions can change suddenly at any time of year.

Tides also follow their own patterns and may be unpredictable. The area offers diverse beaches, including locations suitable for relaxing or snorkeling, beaches ideal for surfing, and areas where strong currents require caution.

### Private Villa Experience

This is a fully private property without constant on-site supervision. Unlike shared accommodations or properties with staff present at all times, there may be no one immediately available to notice, anticipate, or resolve minor issues before guests do.

Living in a private home surrounded by nature requires guests to participate actively in the experience and calmly manage occasional unforeseen situations, despite ongoing care and maintenance. The exclusive and immersive nature of a private villa in the Caribbean jungle includes this conscious involvement.

Enjoy a heated Jacuzzi, private pool, waterfalls & a lush tropica...

DO NOT stay at this property. I have used Airbnb for more than 10 years and, during this trip alone, stayed in seven other properties across Costa Rica without a single issue. This is the first time I have ever felt compelled to leave a review like this. Our experience was so unacceptable that we made the decision to leave on the third day rather than complete our 10 day booking. That was not a decision we took lightly. As this matter is being pursued through the appropriate channels, I won't be sharing the full details publicly at this stage. However, I feel a responsibility to warn other guests. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this property in any way and would strongly advise booking elsewhere.

The guest chose to end the stay early and requested a refund from Airbnb, citing environmental conditions typical of Costa Rica’s South Caribbean, all clearly disclosed in our listing before booking. Airbnb reviewed the case, rejected the guest’s refund request, and confirmed that our listing had provided all necessary information before booking. After departure, we discovered significant unreported damage. The guest declined responsibility; AirCover reviewed evidence, approved our claim and issued reimbursement. No concerns were reported during the stay or before departure, so we were never given the opportunity to address any issue. For this reason, the statement that the matter was still ongoing does not accurately reflect the facts, as Airbnb had already reached its decision before this review was published. We respect every guest’s right to share an opinion. However, we believe reviews should reflect the actual stay rather than a dispute already reviewed and decided by Airbnb.

Best airbnb ever!!! my husband and I came here for our honeymoon and this was the PERFECT home for us!! very private, fully gated, lots of trees and full of small wildlife everywhere. The pool and jacuzzi were awesome and very much needed! We used both everyday. the outdoor fridge and cooking equipment was amazing. We BBQd outside one night and had a blast. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything needed. There are 2 grocery stores right down the road about a 30 second drive, very convenient. The little town was soooo cool! So many little shops and restaurants right on the beach!! This beach, BTW was the best beach I've ever been to. The hammock upstairs, level with the trees to be able to watch the birds, was an awesome amenity. In the backyard we saw agoutis, a toucan, a bunch of different lizards, and frogs! If you love nature, this house is for you!! We are definitely going to come back every year and make this a tradition.

Thank you so much for your beautiful words, it truly means a lot to us. We’re really happy to know that your stay was such a special part of your honeymoon. We truly appreciate the care and respect you showed for the house and for the natural surroundings during your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you. It would be wonderful to welcome you back again, and we truly hope this can become a tradition for you. Wishing you both all the very best.

We loved our stay at Ory & Jimmy’s home.  The outdoor space is amazing, and we spent the majority of our time outside in the pool and hot tub.  The bed was very comfortable and the AC gave reprieve from the humidity.  The kitchen is stocked with everything you could need, however we didn’t cook much as there are so many delicious restaurants in walking distance. When we experienced a utility issue, Ory & James were very quick in responding & resolving it.  The area is very walkable with groceries, a pharmacy, tons of restaurants, and beaches close to the house. We didnt use our car at all. I can’t think of anything that would have improved our stay.  Ory and Jimmy are wonderful, kind hosts and you can tell they love to share their tropical oasis  with others.

Ci ha fatto davvero piacere leggere il vostro racconto. Sapere che avete trascorso tanto tempo a godervi la casa e soprattutto gli spazi esterni, tra piscina, momenti di relax e vasca idromassaggio, è per noi una grande soddisfazione. Siamo felici che abbiate trovato comfort e praticità durante tutto il soggiorno, sia all’interno della casa, sia nella comodità di avere ristoranti, servizi e spiagge vicini. È stato un piacere ospitarvi e potervi offrire assistenza quando necessario. Grazie ancora per aver soggiornato qui, speriamo di potervi accogliere nuovamente in futuro.

Ory was an absolutely outstanding host—hands down one of the best we’ve ever had on Airbnb! From the moment we arrived, Ory was there to greet us warmly at the door with a big smile, which immediately made us feel welcome and special. He took the time to give us a thorough, thoughtful tour of the entire place, pointing out all the little details, how everything works, the best local spots, and even some thoughtful extras she left for us (like snacks and clear instructions). Her hospitality went way above and beyond what we expected. The place was spotless, beautifully set up, and exactly as described (if not better). Ory was super responsive throughout our stay and genuinely seemed to care that we had a fantastic time. We can’t recommend Ory highly enough—if you’re lucky enough to book with her, you’ll be in great hands. Thank you, Ory, for making our trip so memorable! We’d stay again in a heartbeat.

Grazie di cuore per queste parole così gentili. È stato un vero piacere ospitarvi e sapere che vi siete sentiti a vostro agio fin dal primo momento per noi conta davvero molto.

Great location, easy access, easy to find. Place looks just like the photos. Great communication with the hosts. Kids enjoyed it a lot.

Our stay at this beautiful Airbnb in Costa Rica was truly nourishing for the soul. The space felt serene, peaceful, and so thoughtfully designed. With a private pool and jacuzzi, it quickly became our own little sanctuary—a place where we could truly slow down and relax. What made this stay especially special was our host, Ory. From the moment we arrived, she welcomed us with such warmth and care. You can feel how much heart she has poured into this home—every detail was considered, from a well-stocked kitchen and bathrooms to thoughtful touches like candles to help with mosquitoes. Nothing felt overlooked. Anytime we had questions, whether about the house or the area, Ory was incredibly responsive and always happy to help. We left feeling genuinely cared for and so grateful for the experience. This truly is a little oasis, and we would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting Costa Rica.

Grazie di cuore per le vostre parole e per il tempo che avete dedicato a scrivere questa recensione. Siamo molto felici che il soggiorno sia stato per voi un momento di tranquillità e benessere e che abbiate apprezzato la casa e l’attenzione ai dettagli. È stato un vero piacere ospitarvi, grazie per la vostra gentilezza e cortesia e per esservi presi cura della casa durante il vostro soggiorno. Saremo felici di potervi accogliere nuovamente. Un caro saluto e grazie ancora. Oriana e Jimmy

Ori and Jimmy were wonderful hosts.  always accessible with a quick response.  The house was beautiful and clean.  The kitchen was well-equipped.  The yard was super.  Total privacy and nice hot tub, and pool.  Great location.  Close to shopping, beach, and nearby towns with lots to do.  I would stay here again

Our stay at Ory and Jimmy’s place was absolutely incredible! They were amazing hosts who responded immediately. Ory even met us on the first day to get to know us and show us around. The house itself was perfect for our family of five. A beautiful jungle home with AC in the bedrooms, giving us comfort and privacy while still being in a perfect location. We could walk to supermarkets, an empanada stand, restaurants, the beach, and activities like the JRC. We hesitated to book this, but it was absolutely worth every penny. We relaxed in the hot tub every afternoon-even in the warm climate—and the outdoor kitchen was such a fun and unique feature. The whole vibe of the property was so special and truly added to the magic of our vacation. Every local restaurant we tried served delicious food made with love. We We walked or rode our rented bikes everywhere, and when needed , Ubers were quick and very affordable. I can’t stress enough how wonderful our vacation was because of this Airbnb.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was such a pleasure to meet you and host your family. We’re thrilled that you enjoyed the house, the location, and the special atmosphere. It’s especially great to hear that you appreciated the outdoor kitchen by the jacuzzi — a fun extra space for enjoying meals outside, even more than the fully equipped main indoor kitchen, which is always available for our guests. We’re also delighted that you could relax in the hot water jacuzzi every afternoon. Many guests are pleasantly surprised by how much they end up enjoying the jacuzzi in the tropical climate, often even more than the nearby pool, and we’re so happy it added to the magic of your vacation. It’s wonderful to hear that you also made the most of the local restaurants, shops, and nearby activities, and that everything contributed to such a memorable family holiday. We would be truly happy to welcome you back anytime!❤️ Warm regards, Ory & Jimmy

Amazing! We considered quite a few places and decided to splurge on this one because of its tropical property, location, privacy, pool and hot tub. We love hot tubs but weren’t sure we would use it much in a warm location. But we used it a lot and loved it! Just book it! You won’t regret it!!

Grazie di cuore per la vostra gentile recensione. Siamo davvero felici di sapere che avete trascorso un soggiorno piacevole e speriamo davvero di ospitarvi nuovamente in futuro! Ci fa piacere leggere che la vasca idromassaggio vi abbia regalato momenti speciali: è una coccola unica, anche nel Caribe

We really liked the place, we hope to return soon

Nos gustó mucho el lugar esperamos volver pronto

Grazie di cuore per le vostre parole! Siamo felicissimi che abbiate apprezzato il soggiorno e vi siate trovati bene. Saremo davvero lieti di accogliervi di nuovo in futuro! 🌿

Luxury experience, thank you!! It was Amazing, We absolutely loved it!!❤️ I love Costa Rica, I’ve spent quite a few long stays in Costa Rica over the years, especially in the southern Caribbean, so I know the area quite well and I can honestly say this is my favorite house. We felt like we were in our own private paradise!! The pool is amazing, the hot jacuzzi is absolutely a must, and the sound of the waterfalls makes everything feel so special. All around you, there’s the jungle with thousands of tropical plants and flowers. We even saw toucans and a sloth in the trees just above the pool!! The kids were so happy! The house has a unique, cozy atmosphere, it feels like real Caribbean style, but also with all the luxury you could wish for. Everything is really well thought out and it made us feel like we were on a proper luxury vacation, while still surrounded by nature. From my experience, I know it’s almost impossible to find this combination. The house is super clean, fresh and ever

Grazie mille Therese, siamo davvero felici di sapere che la casa vi sia piaciuta, ne abbiate apprezzato l’anima caraibica ed i dettagli. Significa moltissimo per noi, ancora di più sapendo che conoscete già la zona. Speriamo possiate venire a visitarci nuovamente. Saremo felicissimi di ricevervi!!

Grazie a voi, per noi è stato un piacere ospitarvi e saremo davvero lieti di ricevervi nuovamente!! Vi aspettiamo presto con immenso piacere!!

Oriana was one of the most gracious and communicative hosts I've ever booked with, and the stay was absolutely incredible. The pool area feels like you're dropped in a jungle and the pool was cleaned and serviced daily. Like with any "open concept" stay we were slightly hesitant upon booking but the temperature was absolutely perfect, and the AC units in both bedrooms worked great. Other than a toucan we didn't see much wildlife at the stay itself, but in town we saw sloths and monkeys within the first couple days! Cocles and Talamanca were the cutest little beach towns with plenty of shops and restaurants right on or near the beach. Oriana responded to any questions I had right way and went above and beyond with tips and recommendations. She's done a great job of taking precautions to ensure her guests are not negatively impacted by the extreme climate, but without taking away from feeling completely immersed in the nature and beauty of Costa Rica. Everything we'd hoped it would be!

Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful review. We’re truly glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the atmosphere of the villa and its natural surroundings. It means a lot to know that you felt well cared for and supported throughout your time here. We’re always happy when our guests get to experience both comfort and connection with the local environment. You’re very welcome back anytime and we’d be really happy to host you again!!

I would stay here over and over again. Such a wonderful location, walkable to the market and restaurants, but still far enough away from Main Street to feel private like you’re living in a jungle paradise. Everything was just as described and the hosts were the best I’ve had. Very communicative, gave recommendations for spas and outdoor activities, even helped us book and gave gps coordinates so we could find everything easily. Just wish we were staying twice as long!

Grazie di cuore per le vostre splendide parole. È stato un vero piacere avervi come ospiti: sempre gentili, rispettosi e comunicativi. Anche noi avremmo voluto che il vostro soggiorno fosse più lungo! Siamo felici che abbiate apprezzato la villa, la sua posizione, la zona e la natura che la avvolge, e siamo davvero contenti di sapere che il supporto che vi abbiamo fornito sia stato utile a rendere speciale la vostra vacanza. Sarà per noi una gioia potervi accogliere di nuovo: sarete sempre i benvenuti e vi aspetteremo con grande piacere. Speriamo di cuore di rivedervj presto!!

We had an incredible week at Oriana and Jimmy’s house. Our family of four was very comfortable and Oriana and Jimmy were great hosts. Location- It is conveniently located off the main road so close to everything. Easy 10 minute walk to Playa Cocles and easy drive or bike ride to Puerto Viejo, Playa Uva and other sites. Very central location. Privacy - The house itself is surrounded by rainforest and very private. You can enjoy the beautiful pool and hot tub without worrying about neighbors. Amenities - Linens and towels were very nice quality and plentiful. Kitchen was well stocked with essentials. A courtesy cleaning was included and very much appreciated. Hospitality - What sets this house apart is Oriana and Jimmy’s attention to detail. They were very responsive and even proactive about our needs. When I mentioned I liked coffee, Oriana went out to buy me a high quality local ground coffee. She really took hospitality to the next level and made us so welcome.

Grazie mille per le vostre splendide parole! Siamo davvero felici di sapere che avete trascorso una settimana così piacevole e che la nostra casa vi abbia offerto tutto ciò di cui avevate bisogno per rilassarvi e godervi la vacanza. Sapere che avete apprezzato la posizione, la tranquillità della natura intorno e i piccoli dettagli che abbiamo cercato di curare per farvi sentire accolti ci riempie di gioia. È stato un vero piacere ospitarvi e speriamo di rivedervi presto: sarete sempre i benvenuti! Grazie ancora per la vostra recensione così dettagliata e gentile: sarà sicuramente preziosa per chi, come voi, cerca un soggiorno speciale nella nostra zona.

From the moment we arrived, this experience exceeded all of our expectations. The host was incredibly friendly and attentive, she made us feel right at home from the first second. He provided us with local recommendations, took a tour of the place, and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the fullest. The place is just spectacular. The facilities are spotless, with modern but welcoming decoration. The pool and jacuzzi were a real plus, we really relaxed! In addition, the location is perfect, close to the beach, which was ideal for enjoying the sea and the sun. The area is very safe, which gave us total peace of mind during our stay. This was definitely one of our best Airbnb experiences. We recommend this place 100%! We will be back soon, we have no doubt that will be our lodging option in future visits. Thank you for making our stay so special

Desde el momento en que llegamos, esta experiencia superó todas nuestras expectativas. La anfitriona fue increíblemente amable y atenta, nos hizo sentir como en casa desde el primer segundo. Nos proporcionó recomendaciones locales, nos hizo un recorrido por el lugar y se aseguró de que tuviéramos todo lo que necesitábamos para disfrutar al máximo. El alojamiento es simplemente espectacular. Las instalaciones están impecables, con una decoración moderna pero acogedora. La piscina y el jacuzzi fueron un verdadero plus, ¡nos relajamos muchísimo! Además, la ubicación es perfecta, cerca de la playa, lo cual fue ideal para disfrutar del mar y del sol. La zona es muy segura, lo que nos dio total tranquilidad durante nuestra estancia. Sin lugar a dudas, esta fue una de nuestras mejores experiencias en Airbnb. ¡Recomendamos este lugar al 100%! Volveremos pronto, no tenemos duda de que será nuestra opción de hospedaje en futuras visitas. ¡Gracias por hacer de nuestra estancia algo tan especial

Grazie di cuore per le sue parole! Sapere che il soggiorno ha superato le aspettative ci rende davvero felici. Ogni dettaglio della casa è pensato per offrire un’esperienza di relax e benessere, combinando il calore dello stile caraibico con comfort moderni e finiture di alto livello. Il tutto immerso nella natura e a pochi passi dal mare. Sarà un piacere accoglierla nuovamente!

The house is not recommended because it has been designed partly open in the living room, which you can't see from the listing. It has only been referred to as a Caribbean architecture but not that it is designed open and without windows. Only the bedrooms are more or less closed. Too bad, but the pool is great.

Das Haus ist nicht zu empfehlen, da es teilweise im Wohnraum offen gestaltet wurde was man nicht aus dem Inserat entnehmen kann. Es ist lediglich als karibische Architektur bezeichnet worden aber nicht, dass es offen und ohne Fenster gestaltet ist. Lediglich die Schlafzimmer sind mehr oder weniger geschlossen. Etwas schade, aber der Pool ist klasse.

Gentile Arthur, Siamo molto dispiaciuti per la sua recensione, che riteniamo ingiusta, ma purtroppo prevedibile, vista la continua insistenza su richieste che andavano oltre le caratteristiche descritte nell’annuncio. Abbiamo cercato di accontentarla in ogni modo durante il suo soggiorno, ma sin dall’inizio, la sensazione che qualsiasi richiesta non soddisfatta avrebbe avuto una ritorsione è stata evidente. L’architettura caraibica della casa, che prevede tipicamente un accesso tramite terrazza alle camere da letto, è descritta con chiarezza nell’annuncio e ulteriormente evidenziata dalle numerose foto, in modo che nessun malinteso potesse sorgere. Le camere sono dotate di aria condizionata ed è chiaro pertanto che devono necessariamente essere chiuse, e non semi-aperte o aperte come lei erroneamente cerca d’indicare. Il check-in è stato effettuato in presenza, e abbiamo verificato insieme che la casa fosse in perfette condizioni, coerente con quanto indicato nell’annuncio e con le sue aspettative, come confermato dai suoi stessi riscontri iniziali. La gestione del suo soggiorno è stata particolarmente difficile, in quanto ha continuato a insistere per ottenere cortesia extra non previste, mettendoci in difficoltà per l’insistenza dato che era evidente che un rifiuto avrebbe comportato una ritorsione. Già al momento della prenotazione, ci ha imposto un prezzo che abbiamo accettato, e successivamente ci ha richiesto un check-out tardivo gratuito di quasi un giorno, minacciando di non prenotare se non avessimo accettato. Ha richiesto anche un check-in anticipato, nonostante le nostre spiegazioni sul fatto che fosse impossibile farlo, poiché c’erano altri ospiti e il tempo necessario per pulire e disinfettare la casa secondo i nostri standard di eccellenza che cerchiamo sempre di garantire. Nonostante ciò, si è presentato alla villa prima dell’orario stabilito. Abbiamo fatto del nostro meglio per venire incontro alle sue esigenze, anche quando queste andavano ben oltre quanto previsto nell’annuncio, ma sempre mantenendo il servizio di alta qualità che ci impegniamo a garantire a tutti i nostri ospiti. Quando le sue richieste non compromettevano la qualità del servizio o pregiudicavano gli altri ospiti, abbiamo cercato di accontentarla. Ogni volta che non siamo riusciti a soddisfare una sua richiesta, che era al di fuori delle nostre possibilità, la sua reazione è stata insoddisfatta e insistente, facendoci sentire la pressione di una possibile ritorsione. La nostra disponibilità non è stata vista come una cortesia, ma come una concessione da sfruttare ulteriormente. La nostra assistenza come sa è stata sempre professionale e tempestiva, accontentando le sue richieste eccezionali anche quando sono avvenute in orari non propriamente consoni. Ci dispiace che la sua recensione non rifletta i fatti, ma piuttosto sembri un tentativo di vendetta. Abbiamo fatto tutto il possibile per accontentarla, rispondendo prontamente a tutte le sue richieste. Cordiali saluti

Our stay with Oriana was simply perfect from start to finish! From the moment we arrived, she went above and beyond to make sure our family felt completely settled and at home. Oriana’s warm hospitality and quick responses were so comforting, and her recommendations for local food spots were awesome. She even took the time to share the rich history of Puerto Viejo with us, which made us appreciate this beautiful place even more.The house itself was incredible. We truly felt like we were in the heart of the jungle—especially while relaxing in the pool under the lush canopy, with sloths, agoutis, toucans right in your backyard. The location couldn’t be better, with gorgeous beaches just a short walk away. Every morning, we woke up to the sounds of nature. It’s not often you find a host who genuinely cares about every detail of your stay, but Oriana does exactly that. We felt like we were visiting an old friend!

I can't say enough good about our stay and the place. It's absolutely beautiful. We had agouti running around, birds singing, howlers in the distance. Host was so so helpful in suggesting and arranging outings, restaurants, etc. Definitely go to Caribe Horse to ride too, you won't be disappointed. Oriana is truly a gem and beautiful soul. I would stay here again without a doubt. I loved it so much and hated to leave.

Oriana & Jimmy were outstanding hosts. Their property is spectacular, nestled right in the beautiful jungle of Costa Rica. It was an easy walk to local restaurants, grocery stores, and the beach. They had wonderful recommendations for local taxi and tuk tuk drivers, restaurants, and activities. Their home is one of a kind with plenty of privacy and their pool and hot tub are stunning. We’ll certainly be back. Thanks again for your warm hospitality!

Grazie infinite per la vostra meravigliosa review e per essere stati ospiti tanto gentili. Siamo davvero felici di sapere che avete trascorso un piacevole soggiorno e speriamo sinceramente di avervi ancora ospiti in Villa Elita

You arrive and you immediately want to stay longer than you’ve booked. It is such a great place to relax in with a pool and hot pool beautifully nestled in the trees. Do yourself a favour and treat yourself… and enquire about the horse treks as the Oriana and Jimmy will help you out personally

Thank you very much! We’re truly delighted to hear that your stay was excellent, and we, too, would have loved for you to stay even longer. We sincerely hope you’ll visit us again in the future—it would be a true pleasure to welcome you back.

We cannot say enough, good things about this rental. Location was great home and grounds beautiful. It was like having your own private Caribbean paradise. We saw toucans, agouti, tree frogs and chameleons on the grounds. The hosts were great communicators and went out of their way to be helpful and welcoming. They left us a bottle of wine and pineapple for our arrival. They also assisted in having our laundry washed for us half way through our trip which was greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you had an excellent stay at our villa and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings. It was truly a pleasure to assist you during your visit, and we’re delighted that you felt at home in your own private Caribbean paradise. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we appreciate you highlighting the communication and care we strive to provide. We hope to welcome you back in the future; you will always be more than welcome! Thank you once again

Everyone in the area are kind and patient, the beaches are great!! They came to clean the pool and jacuzzi everyday and the cleaning person did a great job. The restaurants and spas are 6 mins away great food and the supermarkets are 3 mins away. You will have a great time

Thank you for your lovely review! We are so pleased to hear that you had a fantastic stay and truly enjoyed your time in the villa. It means a lot to know that our efforts to maintain a clean and welcoming environment made a positive impact on your experience. We believe that meticulous attention to cleanliness is essential for creating a comfortable atmosphere for our guests, and we are committed to ensuring that every detail is just right. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again in the future. Thank you once more for your kind words!

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Elita! It was such a gorgeous home that felt like our own little oasis. We had so much fun bird watching and animal watching on the property, we saw frogs, toads, agoutis, and lots of birds. We had a couple little hiccups with situations outside of the control of our hosts (power outages in the Caribbean are no joke!) but they were incredibly responsive and made sure we were still comfortable and had everything we needed to get through it, and were accommodating throughout to make up for some of the troubles. It was a great location, and awesome place, and we wish we had stayed longer! We hope to return again someday.

Good and bad- the property manager was very responsive and almost like a concierge helping me get around and helping me make plans. I think there are some things that cheapened the property like old stained towels. there's signs in the bathrooms to not flush toilet paper which means you're putting it in the trash which is gross. There were also blankets covering the couches and chairs which were winter blankets which seems weird as you are in a hot and humid climate. As an Airbnb host myself I get not wanting wear and tear on furniture but put a proper sofa cover on and also get it cleaned. It's part of renting your place out. And it could definitely use a deep clean. You can tell that containers in the kitchen were not picked up when and the counter was not fully wiped down. Also mop and broom left out when there were closets to store those in. Lastly no place to hang my clothes or hangers. Lots of areas for improvement but decent for the area. Just not luxury

Cara Dina, grazie per il tuo commento. Iniziamo col dirti che ci dispiace moltissimo tu non ci abbia fatto nessuna di queste osservazioni nelle numerose occasioni avute durante il tuo soggiorno, perchè siamo certi che avremmo potuto chiarire ogni singolo aspetto, migliorare la tua esperienza e renderla eccellente. In oltre, ci sembra corretto segnalare che ogni aspetto viene comunque accuratamente evudenziati nel nostro stesso annuncio e nelle foto. Per cominciare, ci permettiamo di farti presente che la necessità di buttare la carta igienica nei cestini, non è una richiesta della villa o della zona, ma di tutta la Costa Rica e del Centro America ed isole in generale. È un obbligo per le fognature biologiche di cui dispone il Paese, che potrai verificare tu stessa in Internet, libri o in eventuali futuri viaggi che ti auguriamo di poter compiere in queste aree. Si tratta di una doverosa scelta ambiantale di questi Paesi che rispettiamo, non una decisione della casa. Da parte nostra, cerchiamo di apporre cartelli ovunque per informare i nostri ospiti, lo spieghiamo nell’annuncio e nel “messaggio di benvenuto”, nella speranza di aiutare coloro che provvengono da Paesi differenti, in cui il sistema funziona in modo diverso. Per quanto riguarda mobili ed utensili, ci stupisce moltissimo ogni osservazione che non sia entusiasta, dato che tutto è assolutamente e visibilmente nuovo ed in aggiunta, viene disinfettato prima di ogni ingresso dal nostro attento personale di servizio che ancora oggi esegue rigorose procedure anti-covid (come si può apprezzare anche da tutte le precedenti recensioni o dalle foto pubblicate in vari social dai nostri stessi ospiti, oltre che dal fotografo stesso di airbnb). Se lo desideri, possiamo inviarti foto e video accuratamente realizzati prima del tuo check in. Tristemente non possiamo dire di aver trovato la villa nelle stesse condizioni in cui te l’abbiamo lasciata. Ti diremo di più, ogni singola coperta e perfino protettore di cui la villa dispone, viene disinfettato prima di ogni singolo soggiorno e addirittura se ne esegue il cambio con uno nuovo ogni 60 giorni, un investimento, come potrai comprendere, indubbiamente importante che ci piace poter sottolineare. La villa viene perfino ridipinta una volta al mese, questo per contrastare l’erosione determinata dall’assolutamente unico clima tropicale della foresta pluviale caraibica del Costa Rica. Se ci avessi segnalato anche solo uno di questi dettagli durante il tuo soggiorno, in una delle numerose volte in cui abbiamo ricercato un tuo feedback, con molto piacere ti avremmo spiegato ogni cosa e, saremmo tempestivamente intervenuti come abbiamo fatto tutte le volte che ci hai richiesto assistenza extra per prenotare un qualche servizio esterno alla villa. Spesso possono essere sufficienti piccole spiegazioni per aiutare a comprendere e perfino migliorare l’esperienza e, come tu stessa hai osservato e potuto notare, il nostro obiettivo è senza dubbio compiere ogni sforzo per poter garantire un soggiorno eccellente. Riceviamo ospiti da tutto il mondo, siamo noi stessi amanti dei viaggi, alcuni di noi provvengono da Paesi differenti, per cui comprendiamo perfettamente quanto cose qui assolutamente scontate, non lo siano per chi provviene da luoghi diversi e siamo felici di offrire tutta l’assistenza possibile per chiarire ogni dubbio. Per quanto concerne gli asciugamani, quelli offerti sono di alta gamma alberghiera disponibili in vendita nel nostro paese (tutti tra l’altro di importazione statunitense), normalmente molto apprezzati dai nostri ospiti. Ci dispiace non siano stati di tuo gradimento. Pur trattandosi di una prenotazione di una sola persona, ti abbiamo in oltre lasciato a disposizione un kit di 3 e 5 asciugamani per ogni categoria (mani, corpo, piscina ecc) esiamo stati disposti ad offrire tutti i cambi extra che potevi desidere, ci dispiace tu non abbia apprezzato il dettaglio. Le coperte aggiuntive, poste sul divano (si tratta di un divano letto), tra l’altro acquistate e lavate prima del tuo soggiorno, hanno fine esclusivamente decorativo e di accoglienza, sono leggere il tessuto morbido ha lo scopo di stimolare un contatto gradevole, non si tratta di coperte invernali, lo scopo è semplicemente quello di offrire comfort a chi, di fronte alla televisione, ha il desiderio di coprirsi nelle notti più fresche che anche qui abbiamo (cosa generalmente apprezzata). È una cortesia aggiuntiva, non è un obbligo utilizzarle. Specifichiamo in oltre che il comodo divano, che ha solo pochi mesi di vita, dispone di fodere che vengono lavate e disinfettate come tutto il resto prima di ogni soggiorno. Per quanto riguarda i vestiti, ogni camera da letto dispone di ampi armadi con scaffali e con appendi-abiti, ci risulta difficile comprendere come non siano stati notati dato che ricoprono intere pareti di una lunghezza di 7m e di 4m ciascuno ed una altezza di 2.5m (in effetti sono osservabili anche nelle foto). Anche in questo caso, se ci avessi segnalato la cosa, saremmo stati felici di indicarteli. Gli oggetti per la pulizia, vengono lasciati a vista e non negli armadi appositi, semplicemente per renderli facilmente visibili ai nostri ospiti, è scelta di ognuno poi, riponerli dove preferisce durante il suo soggiorno (anteriormente, in effetti, li lasciavamo negli appositi ripostigli, ma notavamo che molti ospiti avevano difficoltà ad incontrarli). In fine, i dettagli costruttivi, dei materiali, del rispetto dell’architettura caraibica combinata con cure e qualità moderne, il rispetto per l’ambiente e la natura, la scelta dei migliori utensili e corredi (per la maggioranza d’importazione), o particolari come la jacuzzi calda esterna (assolutamente unica in tutta la zona), sono stati scelti con cura prendendo come riferimento di base hotel 5 stelle, cercando di superarne il servizio. Ci sarebbe piaciuto comprendere e sapere in quali dettagli (ad eccezione di quelli che già speriamo di aver chiarito), non hai visto riflesso questo aspetto per poter così implementare e migliorare il nostro servizio. Ci sembra corretto sorrolineare che, quanto garantito dalla villa, non viene offerto da nessuna altra struttura della zona catalogata come lussuosa in ambito turistico (come anche tu stessa hai potuto osservare). Siamo felici tu abbia apprezzato la nostra disponibilità nell’offrirti un’attenzione continua e dedicata con l’organizzazione di autista e prenotazione di servizi ecc… Per i tuoi soggiorni futuri ci permettiamo in cambio di ricordarti che per regolamento stesso di airbnb, l’alloggio dev’essere lasciato nelle condizioni in cui è stato consegnato. Grazie per le tue considerazioni, speriamo, con la nostra risposta, di aver chiarito ogni dubbio.

Beautiful property. I was hoping to see animals/birds in the trees on the property. Only saw one rodent there. The description looked like it would be a safe bet we would see something. I was up at 5 am watching every day.

Grazie per la tua review, siamo felici si sapere tu abbia trascorso un eccellente soggiorno. Ci dispiace tu non sia riuscita a vedere animali. Anche se presenti, chiaramente, non sempre è facile sapere come localizzarli e, con piacere, se ce lo avessi richiesto, ti avremmo aiutato. Si tratta ovviamente di uno spazio tropicale aperto, non esistono gabbie o recinzioni tali da costringere la fauna selvatica a permanere in un punto specifico o sempre visibile. La vegetazione è fitta proprio perchè la nostra intenzione è quella di rispettare la natura locale, garantendo l’habitat corretto per ogni essere vivente che la popola . Molti sono abituati alla presenza di noi umani, quindi non temono farsi mostrare per poter ricercare cibo o semplicemente per gli spostamenti di cui hanno bisogno, ma questo non significa necessariamente che i loro orari e le loro abitudini coincidano con i nostri. Chiaramente poi, nel mimetismo incontrano la loro più grande arma di difesa. La mattina presto, come avrai notato, è molto comune vedere gli aguti (i roditori di cui appunto ci parlavi). Speriamo possiate venire a visitarci nuovamente e, con grande piacere, se lo desidererete, vi aiuteremo a saper localizzare i tanti abitanti che popolano la nostra meravigliosa giungla.

This beautiful home was a perfect fit for our family of 4. We loved the pool and jacuzzi, exploring the garden looking for frogs, lizards, bugs, etc. The sounds of frogs and geckos lulled us to sleep and birds and howler monkeys greeted us in the morning. It has everything we needed and gave us a Costa Rican jungle feel while still being close to the beach and restaurants/stores. Also a very easy walk to the grocery store. We miss this place already. We hope to come back and enjoy this piece of paradise again someday.

Grazie infinite per la tua bella e calorosa review. Siamo davvero felici abbiate trascorso un piacevole soggiorno e speriamo anche noi possiate ritornare presto. Sarete sempre i benvenuti e grazie per essere stati ospiti tanto educati, gradevoli ed ordinati.

I love this place, it’s the best accommodation I have seen. The house is beautiful, luxury, romantic, really safe and fully equipped. It’s a corner of paradise, you can see the perfect fusion between caribbean style and luxury with attention to every detail. The jacuzzi, the pool and the house are amazing, all is surrounded by incredible nature but close to everything, supermarket, restaurant and beach. The hosts are great, very kind and helpful. The best place ever. Really recommended, I hope to come back again.

Beautiful little oasis close to the beach. Walkable to shops and restaurants. The hosts are amazing and very accommodating. The house is well equipped: Keep in mind , as we did not realize this upon booking that this house is completely open to the outside in common areas, kitchen , etc . The rooms are closed off and have ac though, which is nice.

What a beautiful home! The location was amazing. Just off the road and super close to the market and the beach. 10/10 would stay again.

We are really happy to know that you had a good time and we will be even happier to have you back as guests.

This Villa is beautiful!! I travel a lot and I often come to Costa Rica and this is absolutely the best place to stay. Fantastic pool and hot water jacuzzi, which is truly a must-have that can't be found around here. The villa is beautiful, with attention to detail, and stocked with everything. It has a very cozy Caribbean style and at the same time luxury. It's surrounded by breathtaking nature. It is very close to all the beach, supermarkets, and restaurants. The owners were very kind and always attentive, they assisted me in every request and helped me organize an excellent massage directly in the villa. Everything is extremely clean, comfortable, perfect. I wish I didn't have to leave. I'll definitely be back.

Questa Villa è stupenda!! Viaggio molto e vengo spesso in Costa Rica e questo è in assoluto il miglior alloggio in cui abbia soggiornato. Fantastica la piscina e la jacuzzi di acqua calda che è davvero un “must” introvabile da queste parti. La villa è stupenda, curata nei minimi dettagli e fornita proprio di tutto. Ha uno stile caraibico molto accogliente ed allo stesso tempo di lusso. È immersa in una natura che toglie il fiato. È vicinissima a tutto spiaggia, supermercati, ristoranti. I proprietari gentilissimi e sempre attenti, mi hanno assistitito in ogni richiesta e mi hanno aiutato ad organizzare un eccellente massaggio direttamente nella villa. Tutto estremamente pulito, comodo, insomma perfetto. Avrei voluto non dover partire. Tornerò sicuramente.

Grazie per la tua bellissima review ne siamo davvero felici. Speriamo di poterti riavere presto ospite nella Villa, sarai sempre il benvenuto

Oriana’s place is hands down the best Airbnb that I have stayed at in over 10 years. She was an incredibly kind and responsive host who was always available to us throughout our stay. We enjoyed the pool and the hot tub every day - it’s as good as it looks! The location was perfect for us. Close enough to go what you want easily, but far enough away that it felt private. Thanks so much for everything!

Grazie infinite per la tua splendida review. Siamo davvero felici di sapere vi siate trovati bene. Siete stati eccellenti ospiti e speriamo possiate presto ritornarci a trovare.

This house is a luxury. It was a walk too nice, for me it was like a dream, super beautiful, I didn't want to go. Everything incredible, the nature, the tranquility, the atmosphere, the animals, the singing of the toucans, the pool,the hot water jacuzi, the mattresses too comfortable and the kitchen with everything.  Quiet and close to everything. The host is too gentle. I recommend the house 100%

Esta casa es un lujo. Fue un paseo demasiado bonito, para mi fue como un sueño, super bello, no queria irme. Todo increible, la naturaleza, la tranquillidad, el ambiente, los animales, el canto de los tucanes, la piscina,el jacuzi de agua caliente, los colchones demasiado comodos y la cocina con todo.  Tranquillo y cerca de todo. El host demasiado gentil. Recomiendo la casa al 100%

Grazie infinite per la sua review. Siamo davvero felici di sapere che ha apprezzato così tanto il suo soggiorno in Villa Elita è stato un piacere per noi ospitarla. Speriamo ci torni presto a trovare. Grazie mille.

This place is EPIC! It's safe, private absolutely beautiful. This house has a lot to offer with pool jacuzzi and fully equipped with linens and towels.. It has an amazing outdoor kitchen ready for the best BBQ.. The king size beds where very clean and extra cozy its was extremely relaxing..

Thank you for your review. We are happy to know you enjoy your holiday in Villa Elita and that we’ll be able to offer you the service and attention you expect. Thank you again, Ori&Jimmy,

Fantastic location where unfortunately I only stayed a few days with my husband. Immersed in a truly unique nature, in addition to beautiful tropical flowers we saw sloths and toucans from the garden of the house!!! The description perfectly matches what we found: the villa is tastefully furnished and there is really everything you need. The kitchen is equipped with everything including a great choice of you, salt and spices. There is a nice fully equipped BBQ area outside but the highlight is the hot water jacuzzi that can be used even when it rains because it is protected by a roof. The location is great, the beach is very close with a beautiful sea and restaurants and supermarkets within walking distance. The host was very helpful, from the time of booking he gave us information and tips to organize the trip in the best way. We left our hearts in this wonderful place, we will be back with the rest of the family because it is truly a corner of paradise!!!

Location fantastica in cui purtroppo ho soggiornato solo pochi giorni con mio marito. Immersa in una natura davvero unica, oltre a bellissimi fiori tropicali abbiamo visto bradipi e tucani dal giardino di casa!!! La descrizione corrisponde perfettamente a quanto abbiamo trovato: la villa è arredata con gusto e c'è davvero tutto quello che serve. La cucina è fornita di tutto compresa un’ottima scelta di te, sale e spezie. All’esterno c’è una bella zona BBQ perfettamente attrezzata ma il punto forte è la jacuzzi con acqua calda che si può utilizzare anche quando piove perché protetta da un tetto. La posizione è ottima, la spiaggia molto vicina con un mare stupendo e ristoranti e supermercati a pochi passi. L’host è stato molto disponibile, fin dal momento della prenotazione ci ha dato informazioni e consigli per organizzare il viaggio al meglio. Abbiamo lasciato il cuore in questo posto meraviglioso, torneremo con il resto della famiglia perché è davvero un angolo di paradiso!!!

Grazie mille per la tua review. È stato un immenso piacere averti come ospite e speriamo tu ci possa venire a trovare nuovamente ed al più presto. Grazie anche per l’accurata descrizione, speriamo possa essere di aiuto ai nostri futuri ospiti

Loved it, it's a sleepy place, it has it all. The house is surrounded by incredible nature, the pool, the cataras and the jacuzzi are spectacular, it is like being in a bubble of peace!! It is located close to everything, you do not need a car, you can walk to the beach, some restaurants, soda and supermarkets. It's a place of luxury, it really has it all. The house is stocked with anything, it has up to 2 kitchens. Comfortable mattress and sheets, everything new and thing for me the impeccable cleanliness is very important! The host was very kind and attentive, left some details that I appreciate very much. I would like to be able to stay longer, I will definitely return!!

Me encantó, es un lugar de sueño, lo tiene todo. La casa esta rodeada de una increíble naturaleza, la piscina, las cataras y el jacuzzi son espectaculares, es como estar en una burbuja de paz!! Se encuentra cerquita de todo, no se necesita un carro, se llega caminando a la playa, a unos restaurantes, soda y supermercados. Es un lugar de lujo, lo tiene realmente todo. La casa esta equipada con cualquier cosa, tiene hasta 2 cocinas. Colchon y sabanas comodissimos, todo nuevo y cosa para mi muy importante la limpieza impecable! El host muy gentil y pendiente, dejó unos detallitos que agradezco muchissimo. Quisiera poderme quedar mas tiempo, regresaré sin duda!!

Muchissimas gracias para su review, estuvo placer atenderla y estamos verdaderamente felices de saber que le gusto y disfrutó Villa Elita. Esperamos pueda volver a visitarnos muy pronto, siempre será bienvenida!!
