Casa Cielo was the perfect place to experience the best of Costa Rica! The location couldn’t be better—just a short drive from the airport, close to a great grocery store, and within easy reach of beaches, waterfalls, hiking, and ziplining adventures. The home itself is beautifully designed and so comfortable, with breathtaking ocean and mountain views that made every sunrise and sunset unforgettable. We loved relaxing in the pool after a day of exploring, listening to the sounds of nature and taking in the scenery. The hosts were outstanding, providing thoughtful touches and great local recommendations that made our stay even better. Casa Cielo truly felt like our own private paradise—we can’t wait to come back!

La casa es tal cual como se describe, la piscina y vistada son increíbles, la cocina tiene todo lo necesario y más para que prepares las comidas. En la descripción dice que se necesita 4x4 sin embargo se puede dejar el auto antes de llegar a la casa y es super seguro de trasladar las cosas a la casa ya que esta muy cerquita de donde deje el automóvil.

Wonderful place to relax and take in beautiful views! The house was clean and laid out nicely with all the necessary amenities. There is a somewhat major road close by so when you’re outside, it’s not totally quiet. That didn’t bother us though, we spent plenty of time in the beautiful pool! We enjoyed how private the surrounding area was but yet a 30 minute drive took you to all the ‘city living.’ We were very lucky to see several white faced monkeys across from our house! We would absolutely recommend staying here, it’s well worth it!

Es hat eine tolle Aussicht. Jeden Tag kamen Echsen und Vögel zu besuch. Wir haben den Aufenthalt genossen. Der Knopf bei der Abzugshaube sollte noch repariert werden. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Pura vida.
