⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolutely peaceful stay 🌞 We absolutely loved everything about this villa in Costa Rica! From the moment we arrived, we were amazed by the spectacular view of the mountains, the lush nature, and the beautiful pool. The place is even more beautiful in person and offers a perfect setting for relaxing. The included lunches were delicious, and we also loved being able to enjoy a great dinner on site. Everything was thought out to make our stay a pleasant and carefree one. We also really loved the dogs on the property, who were adorable and kept us company during our stay 🐶❤️. We also loved watching the little iguanas roam around the property and waking up to the sound of tropical birds 🦎🦜🦋. This immersion in nature really added a magical and authentic touch to our experience. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this villa. 🌴☀️

We absolutely loved the surroundings and the villa, beautiful and peaceful. The host was always quick to reply and the staff were attentive and thoughtful. The included breakfasts were delicious and we had dinner there three times and all were fantastic. We stayed here for a week and traveled to the coast (Jaco, Manuel Antonio and Uvita) and the Poás Volcano area for day trips. Highly recommended!!

Stunning views, a gorgeous villa with pool and fun hikes right on your doorstep! It was the perfect way to spend the last night of our time in Costa Rica. The hosts were exceptionally responsive, the location was very easy to find and we were met with a very warm welcome. The surrounding area is stunning and we loved every second of this stay. Thank you very much Michael & John for this great ending to our trip! 🙏

It's a peaceful oasis in the heart of nature. Nothing but flora and fauna, with a magnificent view. The villa is comfortable, and the breakfasts are very good.

Beautiful place
Host Response
Hi Jeremy thanks for your stay and review. Yes unfortunately we did have a couple of issues during your stay. Our apologies for that- local problem with the town. However, we did have back up so there was plenty of water for showers and we did provide you bottled water for drinking. Not ideal, but hopefully didn’t ruin your stay.

I had an exceptional experience here at Finca Chilanga. You can tell that a lot of love and care went into curating this farm and property. The highlights for me were my interactions with the host John, dinners with an extraordinary chef Karina, and spending time with the beautiful dogs on the property. If you have a chance, opt in for the dinners here. They are top notch and a Karina puts a lot of love into what she does with the menu. Overall I highly recommend Finca Chilanga especially for those who want to have a serene and peaceful getaway.

We loved this place! Not too difficult to get to. Everything was clean, pool was great and hosts were all very helpful / accommodating and chefs were great too!! No WiFi or AC but didn’t bother us at all, we still had cell service. Would definitely recommend!
Host Response
Hi Leah. Many thanks for your very kind review! On WiFi we have had intermittent service. We have just ordered Starlink so should be up and running in the next two weeks. Sorry the service was not good during your stay. Pura vida!

Michael’s place feels private and remote but you’re still just 10 minutes from town and another hour from the airport. The views from both the room and the pool can’t be beat and we enjoyed exploring the trails throughout the property. We opted for to have dinner prepared for us and we were not disappointed! The wifi was unavailable due to high winds but it seems like that was just a fluke. It was the perfect end to our trip!
Host Response
Thanks for your very kind review Jacob! Was our pleasure to host you. On WiFi yes it was intermittent during your stay - we have decided to install Starlink to reduce that problem. Should be installed within the next 20 days.

Absolutely epic location with views to die for, truly scenic and breathtaking. The villas are elegant, tasteful, and impeccably clean, with very comfortable beds that make it easy to fully relax and unwind. There’s access to a lovely communal dining area where you can prepare your own meals or snacks, or have their cook prepare meals for you if you prefer. Breakfast was complimentary and a wonderful start to the day. A perfect place to relax in a stunning setting, highly recommended.

Thanks so much for your very kind review Maria! Come back again soon!

He took us everywhere we wanted to go, even made a special trip to the store for us. 🙌🏼 Super kind, easygoing, and knowledgeable about Costa Rica. He gave us great tips on where to go, what to eat, and how to make the most of our trip. We felt safe, cared for, and totally welcomed. this is 100% the place stay. Thank you for making our trip unforgettable
