We spent our summer holiday at Casa Niri with our family of four, and we loved every minute in this beautiful villa. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. One of our favorite memories was hearing the howler monkeys every morning and evening. It became our family tradition to gather by the infinity pool in the afternoon, watch for the monkeys, and “talk” back to them. Those magical moments are something we will always remember. The villa itself is breathtaking, but the wonderful people behind the scenes made our stay even more special. Mery and her team prepared delicious breakfasts for us and took such thoughtful care of our family throughout our visit. Casa Niri is a very special place, and we cannot wait to bring our family back again!

Casa Niri was exactly what we needed. We booked last minute and Amanda and her staff were incredibly accommodating. The place was absolutely stunning, thoughtfully designed and incredibly peaceful. Everyone in our group loved the property and the howler monkeys in the distance were amazing. We would definitely return! An unforgettable trip. Sámara was also a lovely town to visit and go for dinner.

We just got back from a week at this airbnb and had an absolutely perfect holiday. We were a group of 6 adults and 5 children, and everything about this place, from the house itself, to the location, the staff, food, views…everything was 10/10. Mery and the rest of the house staff are incredibly warm and welcoming and their cooking is incredible- get the ceviche! The house is exactly as pictured and the views from the patio and pool are amazing. This is the absolute perfect setup for a relaxing, turnkey, yet fun and adventurous trip with or without kids. We also booked Wendy, the recommended masseuse, and she was wonderful.

Amazing place to stay in Samara! Very clean, and the view from the house is breathtaking. It’s very close to the beach by car and to everything you need! Delicious breakfast with yogurt and granola, and all the house staff were very friendly.

Casa Niri was incredible, and went well above our expectations. Mery and the ladies were phenomenal and their efforts ensured we were able to enjoy all the family time we could while we were there. Seriously unbelievable, they took care of so many of our dishes and laundry and the little things that usually add up. We’re already planning our trip back. Thank you!!

This was hands-down one of the best stays that I have had. Everything - the house, the amenities, the surroundings, and the house manager (Mery) - was truly wonderful. We arrived to a clean and prepped house and had a great breakfast every single morning. Mery and her team were so friendly and helpful. We felt so cared for and it made our stay that much better. The house was gorgeous and had absolutely stunning views - I was in awe every single morning and evening. Would strongly recommend this house for large families or multiple families - the bedroom layout is great and spacious. Truly can't recommend this house more.

Casa Niri was an AMAZING experience for my family, which was 6 of us total (2 adults + 4 kids aged 8 and under). The house had more space then we needed but we found this home last minute because our first home didn't work out. The home has everything you need to enjoy your stay and is very close to the town of Samara. There's a main road which the house is right off of. The neighborhood is a dirt road but it was easy to get in and out. I can't express how wonderful it was for us to rent a home that had spectacular views of the ocean but also was easy and close to town. It was truly the best of both worlds. In Costa Rica, not every road is paved well (we learned that the hard way with our first place), but this place was great and easy to get to. They have full-time staff that takes care of you too. It was a little uncomfortable for our family but it was nice to get to know Mery and her team over the week we were there. They made it even more special. Thanks Amanda for an amazing stay!
