Rick thought of everything, all the details of the home were so thoughtful. Solid Wi-Fi & man the beds were comfortable (better than my bed at home, haha). Johnny was so kind and helpful, he made sure that we had a great time & took us on all our wonderful adventures. LOL -We felt like kids again as we floated down the river. We really appreciated Johnny taking pictures of us too so that we could relax and enjoy and not worry about photos. They even put fruit out for the birds each morning so we can watch them while eating breakfast. It is quite a show. This was our favorite place to stay in Costa Rica. The grounds were stunning & the pictures in the listing definitely donโt do this place justice. So nice being right next to the Rio Celeste waterfall too! If itโs available, you wonโt regret booking this place. Thank you Rick & Johnny for a wonderful stay and the prompt communication!

Rickโs place has everything you need and then adds a whole load of treats. In addition to snacks and wine and beer, thereโs sun cream and tickets for a wonderful swimming place 300m away. And thereโs a nice restaurant 300m the way towards the main road. And the beds were super comfy, nice shower gels, games, outdoor furniture overlooking horses and a hill, plus beautiful gardens

We had a fantastic stay at Hikers HideawayโPura Vidaville! One of the highlights was the loaded bird feedersโwe saw an amazing variety of tropical birds, including parrots and toucans. The patio is a fantastic place to sit and enjoy the views. The house itself was beautiful and couldnโt have been better. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, including thoughtful touches like snacks and coffee. The location was perfectโclose to the park entrance, Tapirus restaurant, and the Blue River. We also spent time with Johnny, who gave us a wonderful sloth and coffee tour, as well as a tour of the beautifully maintained gardens. Rick was very responsive and available whenever needed. We truly loved our stay and would absolutely return. Highly recommend!

Rick was readily available for any question we had and their place was absolutely beautiful. The house is surrounded by beautiful gardens and birds, with Rio Celeste down a path through the jungle across the street. A truly magical experience <3

Rick's place is awesome. From the unique decor to all of the thoughtful extras - breakfast and snack food, condiments etc. They even provide ponchos and umbrellas! The setting is spectacular and their guide Jhonny was remarkable - we did the sloth/coffee tour at a local place and we're impressed with the knowledge shared as well as an incredible experience seeing a sloth up close! We also went tubing and it was a lot of fun! Next time we will add a night walk! We highly recommend Pura vida ville!

Rickโs place was fantastic. There were many little details that made it so comfortable (earplugs for rainy nights, flashlights in every roomโฆ) Great location, short drive to many activities! Rick was friendly and responsive. He recommended Jhonny with Magical Nature Tours and he was fantastic. Lots of birds around and ponies roaming. Air conditioner is only in one of the bedrooms so the other two were a bit hot at times.

This location was unreal beautiful, and we loved watching the birds. He was so helpful in every way. The place was comfortable, and our kids appreciated the snacks he had for us. Sweet little things like treats, helping us get to the best swimming in Rio Celeste without extra cost, and warning us about traffic on the road out. Really kind people and very thoughtful about hosting well!
