Swin

It was love at first sight! What a gem we stumbled upon. Thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay at Swin's. So peaceful and the air was nice and cool. Everything was very comfortable, especially the beds. In the morning, we took a long walk to the spring, with Onyx, the dog, leading the way. The drive up the mountain wasn't so bad in a rented 2 wheel drive SUV. It was really nice to meet Swin and her family and we are grateful for them to provide such a special place for guests to enjoy.

Great accommodation in the mountains! Peaceful, large, quiet. The owner is lovely, offers lots of recommendations, and is available. The house is great! I would recommend the listing

We loved our trip to Sein's and her family's place. Everything was perfect: hosting, accommodation, availability, discussions, location.

The place is wonderful, and above all, the human warmth is excellent. There is so much peace, the panoramic views are spectacular, and if you consider the service and the human touch, you feel right at home.

The most comfortable and cleanest place I've stayed at in Costa Rica! Great for 2 people who are not a couple, separate and private bedrooms. There is everything in the kitchen, the sofas are comfortable, the bathroom too, and the terrace is very nice with a view. There is also a magnificent vantage point on the property for admiring the sunsets, and a (flat!!) trail of about 2 hours that leads to Canaan, where there is a delicious cheese shop! Swin is lovely and welcoming, and every detail of the house is well thought out and beautiful. Note that the houses are close to one another, but Swin's family is quiet! Recommended!

greatfull to find this lovely place above All expections nicest owner stunning view and sorrunding thank you so much!

La Cima del Mundo is a wonderful place to unwind and enjoy a beautiful part of Costa Rica. Swin and her family are great hosts. When we had problems with our car, they were very helpful and were always there, when we needed something. The accommodation was the most beautiful (of nine so far) in CR, generous space and stylishly furnished. But the best is the location. Above 1,000 meters we enjoyed pleasant temperatures and pure fresh air in a wonderful green environment, fantastic views and silence besides the sound of birds and insects. No wonder that we met many expats at the market of Chimirol and at other sights. Our daughter loved the trampoline. Swin recommended some activities in the region, we otherwise would have missed. We can warmly recommend La Cima del Mundo.

Our stay was far beyond expectation ! The guest Swin and her family were very friendly and gave us a feeling to be home, with all privacy you want during a vacation. We live in Costa Rica and are exploring to relocate. They gave us soooo many tips to help us getting around. The house is beautifully build by the owner himself including all furniture, and decorated super cosy and stylish— a house with heart. Mega clean and the internet was SUPER for the work we do online (meeting with students on zoom), uploading, downloading .. All worked good👌 Super nice beds and towels, fully equipped kitchen, the private garden was super cute too with the barbecue. And very informative book about things to do in the area, games, books … nice lights. Electricity plugs on all places you need one. It’s a stay we will definitely will come back to and that we’ll recommend to all our contacts! And to you reading the reviews ☺️ Perfect for bird spotters and hike lovers !

we live on the coast and visited Chirripo for a weekend getaway. we loved swin's Cabin. it is secluded in the mountains yet not more than 10 minutes from Kapi Kapi Restaurant and 5 minutes from rivers you can play in. Swin was a gracious host. and the best was the fire place!!!!!! MAGICAL

We loved ending our stay in Costa Rica at Cima del Mundo, in peace and quiet. Swin and his family have created a very special place, where everything has been built by hand and with a love of detail. Swin was extremely kind, she even helped me with a medical problem before we arrived. Lilo, the youngest of the family, is a great guy, so funny and friendly, and he was more than happy to show us the whole estate. If you are comfortable driving a 4x4 on mountain roads, you can take plenty of beautiful walks 20-30 minutes away, before returning to admire the sunset from your terrace. I would 100% recommend!

beautiful property!! beautiful and comfortable home!! amazing gem of a spot in the jungle. far enough away but still reasonably accessible. will be our number 1 spot when we return to Costa Rica. host and family were extremely nice and hospitable. would have liked to stay a few more weeks

We had a much needed restful stay at Swin’s. The view was spectacular. We enjoyed everything about the place. Swin was helpful with anything we needed. Great Host!

We greatly enjoyed our stay in the cozy cottage. Swin and her family are very warm and make sure you feel welcome and at home. The area is very beautiful and there is plenty to do (also get a lot of tips about this).

We had a very nice stay at Swin's as a family of 4. The place is tasteful and exceptional in design. The surroundings are very quiet and natural. We were able to use the play equipment and our son played soccer with the host's son. This made us feel very well taken care of. You should note the challenging approach. As Swin also points out, at least one SUV is required. 20 minutes uphill over hill and dale. Fortunately, we were equipped with food for 2 days, so we didn't have to go back to the village and so we could fully enjoy the peace and quiet. Bring insect spray. There are some mosquitoes.

No words can express how amazing this place was! We stayed in a beautiful cottage on top of a ridge that was spacious, comfortable, and downright magical. Any time I need some peace and serenity, I will return—hopefully again and again!
