2BR villa

Villa de Claris, Summer Special Pricing - Houses for Rent in Uvita, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

We stayed 3 nights and loved everything about it ❣️ The view is incredible , in the mountain not overlooked ❣️ Our own peace of paradise ❣️ Birds watching and listening to wild monkeys, from the pool or bedrooms or showers views. Basically everywhere you look is truly beautiful. Jose the care taker was super helpful and kindly took our luggage up to the car. We did not listen to Cynthia ‘s advice . We booked our car rental too late and couldn’t get the essential 4x4 car that Costa Ricas roads need. The infinity pool was sooo clean and beautiful It looked brand new. The house is very well equipped. Large washer and dryer. We would come back and highly recommend the stay to family and friends .

Amazing stay at the villa, everything was super clean and just as shown on the photos! It was equipped with everything you need and even extra that really added to the stay. The views were great even the drive up to the Villa. My wife and I will definitely stay here again!

From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every detail had been thoughtfully considered. The bedding and pillows were exceptionally comfortable — the kind of sleep-in-late comfortable you don’t always expect when traveling. The house itself is very well equipped, with everything you could need close at hand. The garden was an absolute highlight. We were lucky enough to visit during the cactus flower bloom season, and it was simply sublime — a beautiful, living space that felt like a gift. The saltwater pool complemented it perfectly, and the variety of seating areas meant there was always a great spot to settle into, whether you wanted shade, sun, or that ocean view.

The Villa de claris was wonderful and exceeded our expectations. Cynthia went above and beyond the night we checked in by meeting us in town during a rainstorm and leading us to the property to ensure that we made it safely The villa was perfect for us and a lovely way to unwind on vacation. Cynthia was always just a phone call or text away if we needed anything. Can’t wait to come back and stay here again

Thank you for the great review . It was truly a pleasure to host you

The accommodation was fantastically beautiful and very cozy, as well as tastefully furnished. We didn't miss anything. The location is ideal for excursions in the area. We would love to come back one day.

Die Unterkunft war traumhaft schön und sehr gemütlich sowie geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Der Standort ist ideal für Ausflüge in die Umgebung. Sehr gerne würden wir eines Tages wiederkommen.

Thank you. So glad that you had a good time

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa de Claris! It truly felt like a home away from home; comfortable, welcoming and thoughtfully set up for a relaxing getaway. The highlight for us was definitely the pool, paired with a stunning view that made every moment feel extra special. Everything was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need, making it so easy to settle in right away. The drive to the property was very manageable, though we’d recommend being a confident driver if driving to this home in the dark. We’d happily stay here again (and look forward to it!!) and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a seamless and enjoyable stay!

The house is incredibly beautiful; we loved it! The private pool is an absolute dream! The tranquility and the view were exactly what we were looking for. In return, the location is a bit secluded, but that didn’t bother us.

Das Haus ist unglaublich schön, wir haben es geliebt! Der private Pool ein absoluter Traum! Die Ruhe und die Aussicht war genau das, was wir suchten. Dafür ist die Lage etwas abgeschieden, uns hat das aber nicht gestört.

The most beautiful house and place ever visited. Very clean and everything you might possibly need is available. Very private and the beds are really comfy. The place has a beautiful interior and Cynthia is very kind and helpful. I would absolutely reccomend this place. Tried to book extra nights but it was already fully booked so warning: you want to stay longer! 😉

Overall good stay but Didn’t appreciate the 4 strange dogs that visited us on a daily base next to the pool. We didn’t feel the kitchen was well equipped in terms of basic spices for cooking. House was nice and clean and Cynthia was good at communicating .

We had such a great time at Cynthia’s place.  It was centrally located to all the activities we did during our visit.  The views were amazing!  We would love to come back and stay longer next time!

Beautiful home, would stay again. Ozzy was a star.

Wow! Simply fantastic. The house is designed, decorated and stocked in a fashion that allows you to walk in and never want to leave! Cynthia provides any information that you and your fellow travellers may need to make your stay an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend.

This home was beautiful! The pool was amazing! We enjoyed every morning relaxing by the pool, listening to the birds, and howler Monkeys off in the distance.
Cynthia was very helpful with things to do and restaurants to eat at! Our favorite restaurant was Majestic Sushi, we ate there twice! I would highly recommend this home!

Absolute paradise!   Very communicative hosts and wonderful caretaker.   Only caution is if you arrive at night be aware that it is not the easiest place to find but José the caretaker came to find us!    You MUST have a 4x4 but this place is heaven on earth

Thanks for your great review. We hope you will come again

An exquisite, beautifully decorated home offering complete intimacy and privacy. Every detail feels elegant, spotless, and thoughtfully designed, creating a truly luxurious and relaxing retreat. The host is exceptional — attentive, discreet, and highly professional. An outstanding stay that we would gladly repeat and highly recommend. Do not miss this place — our only regret was staying just three days.

Thank you for the great review.  we really enjoyed having you.  Please come again and tell your friends.

We had a great trip. Cynthia had clear instructions to meet her so we could check into the property, it would be pretty hard to find the first time without her help. The concierge that she works with was wonderful and easy to work with. Restaurant recommendations were wonderful. Power does go out (this is a Costa Rica issue not a house issue) She made sure we knew where the lamps were. When the pool water looked a little low the caretaker and the pool guy were there in no time. I would stay there again.

You were such great guests, thank you for the review and we hope to see you again

We can absolutely recommend the house. The surroundings are very impressive, but you absolutely need a car to get anywhere. The house is beautiful and leaves nothing to be desired in terms of furnishings. Communication was first class - we got great foodie tips and tips for things to do. Everything was super clean and the interior was very pretty 🥰 We would come back.

Wir können das Haus absolut weiterempfehlen. Die Umgebung ist sehr eindrucksvoll, man braucht aber unbedingt ein Auto um irgendwo hinzukommen. Das Haus ist wunderschön und lässt bei der Ausstattung keine Wünsche offen. Die Kommunikation war erstklassig - wir haben tolle Foodie Tipps und Tipps für Unternehmungen bekommen. Alles war super sauber und das Interior war sehr hübsch 🥰 Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

This was our second stay at this villa this year, and it continues to impress! Nestled in a quiet, peaceful, and private setting, it’s the perfect retreat. We loved relaxing by the pool, surrounded by the soothing sounds of wildlife. Despite feeling like you're deep in the jungle, the villa is just a 10-minute drive from Uvita. The host was exceptional, providing clear communication and excellent local recommendations. We highly recommend staying here for a serene and memorable getaway!

Thank you chris. And so happy that you have stayed with us a second time

This was a beautiful home tucked away in the middle of nature. You can hear the sounds of a waterfall from your bedroom and backyard. Beautiful view of the ocean. Home was stocked with everything we needed. Host met up with us to lead us to the home (much needed and appreciated). Our host was truly the best. Recommendations offered, instructions during our stay, and even offering to wait for us to grab groceries and dinner before leading us up to the home was super self-less. Beds were comfortable, very soft (if that's a problem for firm bed sleepers, fyi). The property roads/terrain is tough to drive at night if you are not used to this type of area. Plan to get private transportation or proper vehicle to navigate the terrain. Highly recommend this home. Would like to return again next year dry season!

what an amazing place for 2 couple's to stay at and enjoy the jungle!!

This is a beautiful two bedroom house in the rainforest that is squeaky clean and very well maintained and managed. The house is well equipped for cooking and we quite enjoyed our stay. The only minor issue is that the water pressure and hot water is not great in the showers. However, we would still book this place without hesitation.

Cynthia was a wonderful and very accommodating Host. We actually made a last-minute booking on a different residence, unfortunately it was not ready so they were quick to help us find this home as an alternative. The home itself is stunning and in an incredible location. Best of all, it’s located in such a wonderful community just down the road from private and public water waterfalls which made for a great daytime adventure.

Cynthia welcomed My wife and I with open arms. Very sweet and informative about where we were staying, local recommendations, access to a gorgeous private beach and things to watch out for during our stay!

You are so welcome.  The two of you were a delight to have

The place was absolutely amazing!  Very relaxing.   We had everything we could possibly need.

Thank you we loved having you please come again and tell your friends

Amazing place in an amazing location. Beautiful drive up the Hill to the house.

This place is just a dream! The luxurious house offers a breathtaking view through the jungle directly to the Pacific – waking up every morning with this panorama is a real highlight. We were particularly impressed by the private access to the fantastic Bellena beach, which guarantees absolute peace and relaxation. Hostess Cynthia was always available, incredibly friendly and organized everything perfectly. We felt completely comfortable and well looked after. If you are looking for an exclusive accommodation in a spectacular location, this is the place to be!

Diese Unterkunft ist einfach ein Traum! Das luxuriöse Haus bietet einen atemberaubenden Blick durch den Dschungel direkt auf den Pazifik – jeden Morgen mit diesem Panorama aufzuwachen, ist ein echtes Highlight. Besonders begeistert hat uns der private Zugang zum traumhaften Bellena-Strand, der absolute Ruhe und Erholung garantiert. Gastgeberin Cynthia war jederzeit erreichbar, unglaublich freundlich und hat alles perfekt organisiert. Wir haben uns rundum wohl und bestens betreut gefühlt. Wer eine exklusive Unterkunft in spektakulärer Lage sucht, ist hier genau richtig!

The house is fantastic. The pool overlooking the sea was an experience with every look. The house is large and can accommodate up to 4 people. The house is situated in the mountains and it takes about 15 minutes by car to get to Uvita. The roads are good except for the last 100 m, which are a bit bumpy. An SUV is definitely necessary here. Otherwise, everything you need was in the house: toaster, hairdryer, coffee maker, dumbbells, towels….

Das Haus ist ein Traum. Der Pool mit Blick auf das Meer war bei jedem Blick ein Erlebnis. Das Haus ist groß und bietet bis zu 4 Personen Platz. Das Haus liegt in den Bergen und man braucht mit den Auto ca. 15 min um nach Uvita reinzukommen. Die Straßen sind gut bis auf die letzten 100 m die sind etwas holprig, hier ist ein SUV aufjedenfall notwendig. Ansonsten war alles im Haus was man braucht: Toaster, föhn, kaffeemaschine, hanteln, handtücher….

We had a great stay at Cynthia's...just wish we could have stayed longer!!!  We hope to stay again.

Thanks we are so glad that you had a good time and looking forward to having you stay with us again

Just returned from a lovely stay at Cynthia's villa - all as accurately stated by others and shared via her photos.  We were a party of two and found everything in order, clean and ready for us.  Well-stocked kitchen and everything we needed and wanted to see within a 20-30 min drive.  Thank you!

Gorgeous Villa in a very quiet and private location with just the sounds of the jungle/ birds around you. A short drive from lots of nice restaurants and grocery stores. So the best of both worlds. Cynthia kindly met us in town so she could show us the way to the villa. And Karol kindly organised the tour for us. All in all the perfect stay.

Thanks for the great review. We loved having you. Come again

Our 7 days in this beautiful home were amazing.  It was perfect for 2 couples, each having our own suite on either end of the house. The pool was unbelievable! Floating in it, listening to the sounds of the animals and watching the birds fly overhead was so relaxing.  The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to cook full meals if you choose. The road up is curvy but paved with just the last part being gravel. It’s a short 10-15 min drive into town for restaurants and grocery stores. If you like a dark room for sleeping, I recommend you bring and eye mask as the sun rises early and the rooms get bright. We found after days in the sun we woke up early when went to sleep early as well. We loved our stay here. Cynthia was great to deal with and responded to any questions we had. The only thing that could have made our stay even better would have been more comfortable furniture in the living room.  Overall you won’t be disappointed if you book this home.

So glad you had such a good time Pura vida

Great place to stay! Beautiful view and a great house and pool area!

A truly stunning villa, with exceptional service. We very much hope to return.

Stunning property with beautiful open views. Outdoor space is a real plus - a lovely private area for dining, plentiful seating and a superb pool - truly welcome after a long day out in the sun. Spotlessly clean and well equipped, this property is a real home from home. A real bonus is the access to the private beach - a real slice of paradise. Cynthia was a very welcoming host, easy to communicate with and always responsive. We had a really lovely stay here and would recommend it to anyone.

We came here for my wife's Bday and all I can say, is that it was incredible!  We loved it and will come again! Cynthia was fantastic!

This place is in a great location close to downtown Uvita once you get on the main road.  The actual road that it’s on is a little windy and takes around 10 minutes from the main road but is very pretty.  Not hard to get to once you get familiar.  House is very nice on the inside and in a quiet location.

Simply spectacular! From the decor, to the pool, to the surroundings, to the service! Don’t wait another minute to book this place. The location and surroundings were gorgeous and nature was at our fingertips - we watched toucans and listened to howler monkeys from the pool each morning and evening! We opted to use Cynthia’s recommendations for our hikes and activities and all were phenomenal. You MUST visit Don Emilio’s, a small, family-owned and operated coffee farm. Our nature hikes were also amazing - the guides so knowledgeable and walks not too strenuous. And the pool. This pool was not only gorgeous, but also the PERFECT temperature. Not sure how they do that, but WOW! We will be visiting again!

Thanks Megan can’t wait to have you back

First off, We liked it so much, we’re already trying to plan our next vacation! This place is a dream! We stayed here for four nights in January and by the end, we wished it had been six! As two couples in our 60s and 30s, we all found it absolutely perfect—comfortable, well-equipped, and with thoughtful touches that made it feel like home. Cynthing was great with communication and led us on a beautiful short drive to the address, so that we had no issues or complications, that meant a lot. She has no shortage of knowledge of the area, from things to do, and place to see, and even great restaurants. We took her advice and never regretted it! The amenities? Everything you need and then some! The location? Absolutely amazing! Just look at the photos, it is exactly the way it looks ...But what really won us over was the attention to detail—you can tell the hosts put a lot of care into making this a special place. If you're considering booking, just do it. We can’t wait to come back!

Cynthia was a great host! The property photos and description is exactly what you get! Cynthia helped me find activities for my stay and was overall just a great host. I come to Costa Rica every year as a getaway, and I would stay at this property again in the future. Pura Vida

The house was beautiful and the view was breathtaking.  Very clean and modern, great kitchen and perfect pool area.  The private beach offered is a HUGE BONUS for this unit too!  Cynthia was an amazing host, answered a lot of my questions, with great recommendations. She went above and beyond. Our flight to San Jose was delayed and we ended up having to arrive at 8:30 pm after all the local grocery stores closed.  Cynthia purchased some immediate dinner and breakfast for us to get us through!  The unit is about 3 miles up a very steep and windy road with some serious turns.  This lends itself to a lot of privacy and tranquility - but we tended to stay in every night and cook our dinner as opposed to attempting to drive back up the road later at night.  That was perfect for us.  Cynthia recommended a local fish market and we had fresh fish each night - different fish every day!  Our first trip was an incredible one in Uvita and can't wait to return hopefully to this unit!

Great guests ahi so glad that you had a wonderful tropical vacation

Peaceful oasis in the jungle. Loved every moment.

We had a great time at this absolutely gorgeous home in the perfect location of the San Josecito area above Uvita.   Spectacular views through the floor to ceiling windows or from the lovely pool.  We found the bedroom and bed very comfy as well.   Really enjoyed the location - very private, however also easy to get to Uvita and surrounding areas so wasn’t too removed for us either.     We certainly would love to come back

Thanks for the great review. Others have told us about the chairs in the common area. I will pass your suggestions on to the owners

Cynthia’s place is truly a piece of paradise! She was extremely helpful in helping us check in and gave us some great recommendations for what to do in Uvita and the surrounding towns. Our highlights were the private beach access close to the villa as well as watching and listening to all the wildlife from the beautiful pool. Would definitely come back!

Thank you for the great review, please come again and stay a bit longer so we can can show you the rest of this fantastic area

The house was beautiful as described & the views breathtaking. The kitchen is very well equipped - perfect for cooking. The house is located on a mountain with a somewhat curvy road, but can be done without four-wheel drive. Would book the house again anytime.

Das Haus war wie beschrieben wunderschön & der Ausblick atemberaubend. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet - perfekt um auch mal zu kochen. Das Haus befindet sich auf einem Berg mit einer etwas kurvigen Straße, ist aber ohne Allrad zu machen. Würden das Haus jederzeit wieder buchen.

Very chic and beautifull house.The location is convenient,easy access,close to town and beaches. Cynthia was very helfull with all her recommendations. Thank you for letting us stay in your house!

Thanks for staying with us,please come again

This was a great and peaceful quick getaway.  The house was spectacular. We got a chef for the day.  Chef Mario from Origins was amazing.  His attention to detail was impressive and the food was so good.  Cynthia knows the area pretty well.  She gave us great advice on what to do even with the short time we were there.

This location and home was nothing short of perfect. Such a beautiful location with an incredible view. The home is so well designed and had everything we needed for our stay. Cynthia was amazing and took time to meet us and give us lots of recommendations for our stay. We booked one of her suggested chefs and massage therapist to come to the home on our stay which was amazing. We fell in love with the home and look forward to coming back again!

Thanks for staying with us tell your friends and come again we loved having you

Great place to stay very private peaceful and beautiful one of the best places I’ve ever stayed in general and one of the best host with many recommendations to do and always very helpful and responsive

You will not be disappointed if you book this Airbnb. If you’re looking for relaxation and peace you are looking in the right direction.

The villa was well equipped and comfortable, with a wonderful view. If you are lucky you can see toucans early in the morning and hear howler monkeys. Access to the house is private, but during our stay the gate would not open automatically (hydraulic cylinder failed). In addition, one of the two bathrooms (overlooking the car park) was leaking on the last two days, although the taps were tight. Otherwise we had a pleasant stay and felt safe. We appreciated Cynthia's recommendations which helped us to have a good stay !

Thank you for your review.  We have made a decision to not use the gate any longer as we have an on site care taker. We apologize for the leaking tap and will address it immediarely

The pictures don't do this place justice! Villa de Claris is an absolutely beautiful property, with amazing views of the surroundings. In addition, you get to experience the active wildlife as you're surrounded by greenery. The house itself has all the listed amenities. A wonderful open plan kitchen-living area, very comfortable beds with soft linens, spotless bathrooms and a spacious pool area. Finally, our host Cynthia was very welcoming and helped us get settled with Uvita and surroundings, including organising tours, restaurant advice and the very convenient private beach access (short drive away from the house). Overall, I would highly recommend Villa de Claris to anyone looking for a private and luxurious stay near Uvita.

The photos do not do this amazing property justice! The views are beyond spectacular, the host ( Cynthia ) was wonderful, she made us feel rite at home! She offered a ton of great things to do in the area, from places to eat , excursions , and catered chefs! Hands down best experience we have had in a long time! We will be back!

Hi  Blake:  I passed on your suggestions to the owners.  I am so sorry that yousband was so sick

This is an amazing property. Beautiful decor and perfect layout. The windows allow constant and beautiful views of the jungle surrounding the home. We saw many birds including toucans in the yard. Howler monkeys were heard as well. The pool is a perfect way to unwind after your days spent exploring. The restaurants recommended by the host were delicious. Pros- absolutely beautiful, comfortable property, indoor outdoor showers, great location. The beach access from Cynthia is truly amazing. She is very helpful to meet you in town to guide you to the property and give you personal recommendations on activities and restaurants. Cons- some construction noise (common and to be expected) but this is minor and really should not deter you from this property.

A well-designed house in remarkably beautiful surroundings. The photos are accurate but it must be experienced to understand just how special this place is. Perfect indoor/outdoor situation. Lots of wildlife to be seen. Great place to hang out, cook, and relax. The pool is fantastic. This is personally my favorite Airbnb I have stayed in. Cynthia is a responsive, wonderful host. She really helped make the stay even better and provided recommendations and helped us with any questions we had. A 5 star, exceptional experience.

Thank you for the great review, we hope you will come and see us again

We loved our stay at Villa de Claris. The tranquility of the place, the view of the jungle and its beautiful pool, without forgetting the access to the private beach. Cynthia was very generous and welcoming. The beds are very comfortable. Be careful to keep the doors closed in the evening so that you do not have the salamander visit in the house:))) The ecosystem around the house is amazing; several birds, hearing howler monkeys, toucans, hummingbirds, etc. PURA VIDA ☀️

Nous avons adoré notre séjour à la Villa de Claris. La quiétude des lieux, la vue sur la jungle et sa magnifique piscine, sans oublié l’accès à la plage privée. Cynthia a été très généreuse et accueillante. Les lits sont très confortables. Attention de garder les portes fermées en soirée pour ne pas avoir la visite de salamandre dans la maison:))) L’écosystème autour de la maison est incroyable; plusieurs oiseaux, entendre les singes hurleurs, toucans, colibris, etc. PURA VIDA ☀️

Villa de Claris is a wonderful place to stay! It is one of the best Airbnb's we have ever stayed in. The villa has all the comfort, space and style you would imagine and looks exactly like the pictures but the feeling is even better when you are there. We particularly liked the stunning views in an environment full of jungle sounds. The pool is fabulous and wonderful to relax in! The bed was so comfortable! The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped so it is a pleasure to cook here. We enjoyed having breakfast outside every morning and watching the hummingbirds. We would love to stay here again anytime

Loved the villa, fully equipped, clean and private. Layout was perfect for us and we loved the pool

We have been to Uvita many times and this was a WONDERFUL villa. Like many villas in Uvita, you must be OK with a 10 to 15 minute drive through the steep mountain roads with a 4 x 4 SUV. Some of the hills are really steep so you have to be OK navigating. The villa is gorgeous & pristine. Immaculate, modern, even better than the photos. The kitchen is enormous, and it is well stocked with pots and pans and serving-ware. You will need to bring your own cooking supplies such as aluminum foil, olive oil, etc. The main living space is comfortable with sliding glass doors and screens. We were so happy that there are NO MOSQUITOES at this location. Yes, there are other bugs like noisy cicadas, but that is normal for Costa Rica. The pool is beautiful and immaculate. The property is gated and we felt very safe. It would be nice if some housekeeping services were included, but we would definitely stay here again! Gorgeous property.

The house is large and very quiet, peaceful and relaxing. The pool is awesome and we enjoyed watching the toucans in the trees.

Stunning, modern, immaculate property.  The landscaping and pool are exquisite.  What a great getaway!

fantastic villa with all the amenities you could imagine. beautiful location, with a garden overlooking the forest. Every morning we were woken up by toucans and other wild animals. wonderful nature. a very clean, even sterile place, providing comfort and the opportunity to rest after an intense day of sightseeing. Cynthia was very nice and very helpful. As if that wasn't enough, the host offers access to a beautiful private beach on the Pacific Ocean. We definitely recommend this place!

That place was really nice with an amazing view and the host Cynthia was responsive and communicated well. It's definitely a place where I would go back. Highly recommended.

Thank you very much!!! Please come and see us again!

We were so pleasantly surprised that the actual property surpassed the pictures and description. Everything was as advertised from the fully equipped kitchen to the high end linens and towels. Truly a place to come and relax

I’ll start with the only negative with this house LISTEN WHEN THEY SAY YOU NEED A 4 wheel drive, the drive up the mountain is 95% paved windy road the last 200 feet or so is a bumpy unpaved road that’s very steep and without 4 wheel drive you won’t make it up the hill DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIND THE HOUSE IN THE DARK ON DAY 1, Now as for everything else starting with our host Cynthia who started to message me as soon as we got into San Jose and met us at the bottom of the hill to get us checked in and familiar with the house. When you walk into the house the first thing you notice is the stunning view out over the forest to the ocean. pictures were exactly how the house looked every inch of the house was stunning from the bed and bathrooms with the glass doors that let you take a shower with the forest breeze blowing through to the kitchen that had any and everything you needed to cook meals ! I could go on longer about how impressed we were with the house !!!!! Great stay great deal!

Loved, staying at Cynthia’s place, very responsive host. Don’t let the drive up the mountain stop you from staying. The view is absolutely amazing. House is stunning and it’s equipped with everything you need.

Hi Cynthia! I wanted to thank you for the amazing time we had at the villa. We loved the Costa Rican style and all the attention and adresse you gave us during our stay. We enjoyed every moment and appreciate all the details that made our visit special. Thank you so much for everything! All the best

Amazing stay! I would 100% for sure choose this stay again.

Beautiful house , Cynthia was very helpful with instructions, directions and things to do . Any issue I had she responded right away and even helped book excursions .

Magical, the pictures only show half of how gorgeous the view is with its surroundings.  Open concept makes the home feel like luxury, spotless, romantic lighting, fun showers and pool, and even a workout area which we enjoyed.  Cynthia mentioned great restaurants (Mosaic for amazing sushi) and the private chef booking was well worth the experience!  (Chef Chino) Highly recommend and hope to be back soon!  Thank you, Cynthia!  Pura vida!!

Pictures don’t show just how beautiful Cynthia’s place is. Feels like a mansion in the middle of a jungle. Absolutely beautiful and I highly recommend!

Thank you for staying with us and so glad that you enjoyed your time with us

Great stay. The villa is exceptional despite it being difficult to access. One of the most beautiful villas we've had the chance to rent.

Très beau séjour. La villa est exceptionnelle malgré qu’elle est difficile d’accès. Une des plus belle villas que nous ayons eu la chance de louer.

What a luxurious place to stay in a beautiful setting. Cynthia greeted us at check in and answered all of our questions. I will definitely stay here again.

This home is an absolute gem for 1-2 couples. If you’re looking for a peaceful environment with lots of room, a kitchen that has everything you’ll need, private pool with plenty of seating, and a beautiful view…this is your place!

Thank you for your great review of the house.  So glad that you enjoyed everything

This house was beautifully appointed. The kitchen was stocked with everything a gourmet cook could need.  The house was immaculate and beautifully laid out. The attention to detail is evident throughout this home. The pool was perfect. I would highly recommend this villa. The management staff is the “BEST” we have encountered in Costa Rica. Attentive to anything you need.

Very beautiful house .. very good service .. clean house.. well located... thank you

Très belle maison .. très bon service .. maison propre .. bien placé.. merci à vous

The house is amazingly a dream! Luxury in the middle of nature. the view is fantastic. The house is very clean and Karol took care of all our needs quickly. However, you should be aware that a car is absolutely necessary and the access is very steep, but with 4x4 it is easily feasible. Despite breathtaking nature, we didn't see any monkeys, but many birds and even a scorpion twice. We'd come back any time.

Das Haus ist fantastisch ein wahrer Traum! Luxus inmitten der Natur. der Ausblick ist fantastisch. Das Haus ist sehr sauber und Karol hat sich um all unsere Belange schnell gekümmert. Man sollte sich aber bewusst sein, dass ein Auto zwingend notwendig ist und die Zufahrt sehr steil ist, mit 4x4 aber gut machbar. Trotz atemberaubenden Natur haben wir leider keine Affen gesehen, dafür viele Vögel und sogar zweimal einen Skorpion. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

Lovely new place with gorgeous view. Super clean and comfortable- thank you!

We had the privilege of being the first guests in this beautiful home. It is as beautiful as portrayed in the photos! We loved returning to this peaceful oasis after a day out at the beach or on a tour. The swimming pool is amazing and the house is so well equipped with everything you would need. Cynthia and Karol were very responsive and assisted us with all our questions. The caretaker on site is very friendly and helpful. The cleaners were a lovely added bonus. We will be back!
