We had a truly wonderful stay at Mil Flores in Matapalo. The house is beautiful, peaceful and full of atmosphere. It has that rare feeling of being both comfortable and special at the same time. Everything around the house invites you to slow down, enjoy the surroundings and just be present. For us as a family, it was exactly the kind of place we had hoped to find in Costa Rica. Matapalo itself is calm, green and stunning, and Mil Flores fits perfectly into that setting. The nature, the sounds, the space and the feeling of privacy made the stay something we will remember for a long time. Monkeys were swinging through the garden, and macaws and toucans were frequent visitors as well. It felt like the wildlife was part of the house. We felt at home very quickly, and leaving was genuinely difficult. A fantastic house in a beautiful part of Costa Rica. We would happily recommend Mil Flores to anyone looking for a special place to stay near Matapalo.

Beautiful house and property. Highly recommend for proximity to town and wildlife viewing. Staff very responsive. Stay here and you won't be disappointed!

Everything was perfect, we would definitely like to come back sometime! The small pool was ideal for our young child to cool off quickly. A 4x4 car is definitely a must to explore the beautiful area! Like all houses in the region as far as we could see, this one also has an open-plan design for good ventilation, which works great. It allows you to spot fascinating wildlife even from the bedroom! We saw monkeys and Macaws and other local fauna, so so cool!! In the evening, when the lights are on, there are of course some jungle-appropriate bugs flying around too, but no more than you would expect in the jungle anyway so it didn’t bother us at all. The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped, the beds were large and comfortable, and the communication was super friendly and helpful. Waking up to the sounds of the jungle is a priceless experience. Having the Martinas bar restaurant nearby is also super convenient. We are already sad that we can't be there anymore!

Perfect set up, to enjoy all the Monte Carlo area has to offer. Great response of this, stocked very well, Mary, very comfortable beds. We use the mosquito netting with the fans and we’re very comfortable.

Such a magical space in the middle of the jungle. We spent most of our time in the kitchen, the outside deck/pool and the upstairs room/outdoor space was an absolute treat. Waking up to the sound of monkeys and being surrounded by nature was a dream. Well definitely be back :) If you’re considering between this AirBnb and another, choose this one. You’ll be happy you did.

Great home and location! Would recommend. Everything is as noted on the listing.

Great spot for an adventure! The beaches were challenging to swim but the river and the dipping pool was a nice place for us to all cool off. It was definitely hot sleeping but the small fans helped keep the air moving. We saw monkeys from the porch and even had a few crabs and frogs say hello in the shower. I was very pleasantly surprised with how few bugs there were, even in the evenings with the lights on. It was great spot for us to disconnect and unwind. Would certainly come again!

2nd time staying here with my family and it won’t be the last. We were there for 3 weeks and I miss it dearly. It’s paradise. The house is amazing! Highly recommend

It was perfect. Great place great people.

We absolutely loved our stay at Mil Flores! The hosts were very helpful and accommodating and the house is completely unique. We loved the upstairs floor being open to the jungle with all the sounds and wildlife. The house had everything needed for a group of 6 with a fully equipped kitchen and plunge pool for hot days. The beach is very close and there is so much incredible wildlife visiting the property. We will definitely be back. Thank you Michelle and Gretchen :)

What a special place. Visited Michelle's beautiful home in Osa with my family and we didn't want to leave. The bedroom upstairs was so relaxing with all the open windows and doors. The beds are all so comfortable...we all slept so well. The kids loved all the nature around the home...we even had Lucy's come visit us for a few days. Lucy is the freeloading dog that roams the area. She's so sweet. We did have a hard time driving around with our car...I would recommend a 4×4 If you plan on visiting. The kitchen was our favorite with a beautiful dinner table outside. Don't think twice, book your stay. We can't wait to come back. Osa you are a Gem :)

Beautiful location close to the beach. Well stocked kitchen with sharp knives for cooking.

Staying at this beautiful home was the highlight of our trip. I’d visited the Osa Peninsula 20yrs ago and loved it just as much the second time around. We saw monkeys out the window everyday and dozens of macaws when we walked along the beaches. The big screens and linens were in perfect shape. Martina’s was delicious but is definitely US prices. The road was much improved 20yrs later. We took a taxi out but would have felt fine driving.

Awesome place. Trip highlights included monkey watching from the plunge pool, yoga on the covered wood deck, lush vegetation in every direction, happy hour/dinners in the indoor outdoor bar/kitchen. Great home base for a week long trip or longer :) Pro tip, leave everything in the pantry/fridge overnight as monkeys may pay a midnight visit ;) Michelle was a great host, friendly and responsive.
