Even more beautiful in real life than the pictures. Fantastic decor in lush nature. The pool was great; the kids loved it. Xénia and Thierry are caring and very friendly hosts. Their little dog Taz is really charming! I recommend it without hesitating!

Encore plus beau en vrai que sur les photos. Un décor fantastique dans une nature luxuriante. La piscine était super, les enfants ont adoré. Xénia et Thierry sont des hôtes attentionnés et très sympathiques. Leur petit chien Taz est vraiment charmant! Je recommande sans hésiter !

If I could give MORE than 5 stars, I would do that right away. Wow, we had a great experience with the family at Xenia and her husband's place during our tour of Costa Rica. A very warm welcome, fresh fruit from the beautiful garden, a clean and spacious house full of beautiful details, extra loving service such as laundry, valuable tips for activities. The photos and descriptions cannot express enough what Xenia and the accommodation offer. I would 100% come back again.

Als ik MEER dan 5 sterren kon geven zou ik dat direct doen. Wow, we hebben met het gezin een geweldige ervaring gehad bij Xenia en haar man tijdens onze rondreis door Costa Rica. Een heel hartelijk welkom, vers fruit uit de prachtige tuin, een schoon en ruim huis vol met mooie details, extra liefdevolle service van bijvoorbeeld een wasje, waardevolle tips voor activiteiten. De foto’s en omschrijvingen kunnen niet genoeg uitdrukken wat Xenia en de accommodatie biedt. Ik zou 100% nog eens terugkomen.

We very much enjoyed our stay. Super nice house, pool and garden in the middle of nature and yet close to the village. Very warmly received! Highly recommended!

We hebben heel erg genoten van ons verblijf. Super mooi huis, zwembad en tuin te midden de natuur en toch dicht bij het dorpje. Heel hartelijk ontvangen! Een aanrader!

6 stars! This is AirBNB as it was originally intended. Beautiful gîte on the property with super friendly and welcoming owners. She's Costa Rican; he's French. Garden beautifully landscaped and cared for. Our children (5 and 7 years old), who are normally not dog lovers, also spent hours cuddling with Taz. Lovely swimming pool, good outdoor kitchen, great list of tips for things in the area that are just a bit more authentic. Termalitas, Finca Esperanza, Ross and Eternal Childs Rainforest are highly recommended, also with young kids. Do it!

6 sterren! Dit is AirBNB zoals het ooit bedoeld is. Prachtige gite op terrein bij supervriendelijke en gastvrije eigenaren. Zij Costa Ricaanse, hij Frans. Tuin prachtig aangelegd en verzorgd. Ook onze kinderen (5YO & 7YO), normaal geen hondenliefhebbers, hebben uren met Taz geknuffeld. Heerlijk zwembad, goede buitenkeuken, super lijst met tips in de omgeving die net wat authentieker zijn. Termalitas, Finca Esperanza, Ross en Eternal Childs Rainforest van harte aanbevolen, ook met jonge kids. Doen!

What an amazing place! Xenia and Thierry were so welcoming. The space was private, well laid out and the landscaping was absolutely beautiful. It was hard to say goodbye.

One of the best airbnb we've stayed in. The hosts are charming, and the place is heavenly with the garden. We would highly recommend this airbnb. Thinking of Taz!

Un des meilleurs airbnb où nous avons séjourné. Les hôtes sont charmants et l’endroit est paradisiaque avec le jardin. Nous recommandons fortement ce airbnb. Une pensée pour Taz!

We were very well hosted at Xenia's place. She was very friendly and welcomed us with open arms. Beautiful place surrounded by a very nice garden maintained by Xenia and her husband. Very practical tips! Very good recommendations. Book without hesitation if you want to stay not far from La Fortuna, in a quiet and friendly place. I would come back if I return to Costa Rica!

Nous avons été très bien reçus chez Xenia, très amicale et nous ont accueilli à bras ouverts. Endroit magnifique entouré d’un très beau jardin entretenu par Xenia et son mari. Conseils très pratiques ! De très bonnes recommandations. À réserver sans hésiter si vous voulez séjourner pas loin de la Fortuna, dans un endroit calme et sympathique. Je reviendrais si je reviens au Costa Rica !

We had an amazing stay! The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, taking the time to walk us around their beautiful property and share fresh fruit right from the trees. Xenia’s artwork throughout the cottage was absolutely beautiful and made the space feel so unique and special. The cottage was perfect for our family—having the kitchen right next to the pool made it easy to prepare meals while the kids played. They gave wonderful local recommendations and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!

We loved this place. I highly recommend it. The house is very spacious, clean and comfortable, with a balcony and bathroom in each room and comfortable beds. The pool is perfect for children and adults to enjoy. The water is warm thanks to the volcanic stone with which it was built. The kitchen is equipped and the dining area is next to the pool. There are beautiful gardens, access to the river, trees, many birds. It is a very quiet place and it is relatively close to La Fortuna. The hosts, Xenia and Thierry, were very attentive, kind and friendly. They made us feel right at home. We hope to return soon. Thank you very much for everything!

Nos encantó este lugar, lo recomiendo ampliamente, la casa muy amplia, limpia y cómoda, balcón y baño en cada habitación, camas cómodas, la piscina perfecta para que los niños y adultos disfrutamos mucho, agua tibia gracias a la piedra volcánica con la cuál la construyeron, la cocina equipada y el comedor junto a la piscina, jardines hermosos, acceso al rio, árboles, muchas aves, un lugar muy tranquilo y está relativamente cerca de la Fortuna. Los anfitriones Xenia y Thierry muy atentos, amables y amigables, nos hicieron sentir como en casa, esperamos volver pronto. Muchas gracias por todo!

The stay at Xenia's place was like a dream. What a beautiful location: the pool, the beautiful garden, the lovely rooms, a clean house. This was one of our first nights in Costa Rica, and we couldn't have asked for a better start. The host and hostess were very helpful. We stayed there for 4 nights, and from their house, it was a great and enjoyable drive to all the activities in La Fortuna.

Het verblijf bij Xenia was net een droom. Wat een prachtige locatie: het zwembad, de prachtige tuin, de mooie kamers, schoon huis. Dit was een van onze eerste nachten in Costa Rica en konden geen betere start wensen. De gastheer en gastvrouw waren erg behulpzaam. We verbleven er 4 nachten en vanaf hun huis was het een prima en leuk ritje naar alle activiteiten in La Fortuna.

This place is SO beautiful! A little rustic (no A/C, and open-air to the great outdoors) but it was SO comfortable and beautiful!! The pool was perfect, and the location was SO serene! The wildlife was lovely too. So many birds! The gardens were fabulous and created such a private and gorgeous space. The hosts were fabulous. Very helpful, outgoing and kind. My kids LOVED the dogs… it was such a great part of our stay to have them around. It was obvious that the hosts take pride in their land, and take good care of their property. Such a unique stay. If you’re open to a slightly more outdoorsy feel, you will love this place!

Our family enjoyed this retreat. The gardens are stunning and full of hummingbirds. We loved being close to Chachagua for a local experience while remaining near La Fortuna. The house was comfortable, the private pool was a hit with the kids. Xenia and her family, including Taz the dog were great hosts. The inside was super clean and offered plenty of natural light. A perfect, quiet retreat! Xenia

We enjoyed 5 wonderful days at Xenia & Terry's place. The whole family slept very well and restfully. We absolutely loved being in the spacious and well-maintained garden, and the kids spent hours in the pool. Xenia & Terry were available, attentive, and helpful (without being intrusive)! Their tips helped us go on great excursions & eat well. We still think of her today thanks to the banana cake and jams we bought at Xenia! Conclusion: an absolutely lovely Airbnb where everything is (and even better than) as described! We found it fantastic!

Wir haben bei Xenia & Terry 5 wunderschöne Tage genossen. Die ganze Familie hat sehr gut & erholsam geschlafen. Wir haben es extrem genossen im grosszügigen & gepflegten Garten zu sein & die Kinder waren stundenlang im Pool. Xenia & Terry waren präsent, aufmerksam & hilfsbereit (ohne aufdringlich zu sein)! Ihre Tipps haben uns geholfen tolle Ausflüge zu unternehmen & fein zu essen. Den bei Xenia gekaufte Bananen-Cake & die Konfituren lassen uns auch heute noch an sie denken! Fazit: ein absolut liebevolles AirBnB wo alles ist (& noch besser ist) wie beschrieben! Wie fanden es traumhaft!

Run, book this place fast! This Airbnb is beautiful and at such a great price!! We loved the setup with the two separate rooms and kitchen below. The pool was amazing and made it feel like the rainforest was surrounding you. Xenia was an amazing host and was always so helpful. We did day adventures with the kids including hot springs, white water rafting, Mystico hanging bridges and the famous rope swing, and waterfall repelling and zip lining. Highly recommend the location for all of the activities too! The soda closed to the house is so yummy. This is one of our favorite AirBnBs to date!

Xenia's house and private swimming pool are amazing!  The hosts are so welcoming.  The property is even more beautiful than the photos.  We loved being able to cook a few meals there, and relax in the lovely pool after a busy day.  The property is quiet and clean, the bedrooms are spacious, and we appreciated having 2 bathrooms.  A few things to note: there is no air conditioning, we couldn't manage to get hot water in the showers or kitchen (just room temperature), and families with children should be aware that each bedroom is completely separate with their own exterior doors.  These things did not create any issue for us, but could be important for others.  The location of the property is about a 20-45 minute drive to various tourist attractions in La Fortuna and Arenal Volcano area; we had our own vehicle and enjoyed being removed from the noisy tourist area.  We loved staying at this private oasis and the hosts' hospitality was simply wonderful!  We definitely recommend it!

we enjoyed our stay in Chachagua -  the small village is  about 1 km away with restaurants and markets.  We loved the private pool and enjoyed the peaceful surroundings after the busyness of la Fortuna.   i would recommend this AirBnB to others.  The bathroom did not have a window but we did not have a problem with bugs. Kitchen was not sealed - it was fine for us but others may complain. The bed was comfortable.  Our host brought us fresh bananas every morning and sent recommendations for restaurants and activities.

Xenia and Thierry were very nice and welcoming hosts. The house is fantastic and the pool side kitchen very pleasant. Lots of nice birds Sounds to wake up to! The garden is beautiful and the kids loved playing with the Little dog Taz. We would have liked to stay longer, so far our Best place in Costa Rica :)

HOola Pauline Thank you so much for this review, which goes straight to our hearts, it encourages us and it is our best reward thanks again and have a good stay in costa rica

an exceptional place!!! magnificent vegetation.  Large, clean, very comfortable room with balcony.  Sleep to the sound of the river. Chachagua village is 5 minutes away where you can find everything you need. Supermarket, butcher, bakery, restaurant, petrol. I recommend it without hesitation.

un endroit exceptionnel!!! une vegetation grandiose.  Chambre grande, propre, tres confortables avec balcon.  Dormir au son de la riviere.  village de Chachagua a 5 minutes ou trouver tout ce dont vous avez besoin.  supermarché, boucherie, boulangerie, restaurant, essence. je recommande sans hesitation.

Xenia and Thierry thank you for your hospitality! We enjoyed the beautiful house and the wonderful pool. The accommodation was clean and the bed slept great. The tour in your beautiful garden was a nice extra! We miss our dog friend on the kitchen mat 😉

Xenia en Thierry bedankt voor jullie gastvrijheid! wij hebben genoten van het prachtige huis en het heerlijke zwembad. De accomodatie was schoon en het bed sliep heerlijk. De rondleiding in jullie mooie tuin was een leuk extraatje! We missen ons hondenvriendje op de keukenmat 😉

This place is fantastically beautiful! The whole property is designed with love and everything fits together wonderfully. You have the feeling of being in a small oasis in the middle of nature. The pool is a highlight that made our daughter very happy while we prepared the food in the well-equipped outdoor kitchen. Later you fall asleep to the sound of the river in the clean rooms. Xenia and Thierry are very nice, respond quickly and are helpful and their little dog Tas was a welcome visitor. Overall one of the most beautiful AirBnBs we've visited so far!

Diese Unterkunft ist traumhaft schön! Das ganze Grundstück ist mit Liebe gestaltet und alles fügt sich wunderbar zusammen. Man hat das Gefühl, in einer kleinen Oase inmitten der Natur zu sein. Der Pool ist ein Highlight, das unsere Tochter sehr glücklich gemacht hat, während wir das Essen in der gut ausgestatteten Außenküche zubereiteten. Später schläft man zum Rauschen des Flußes in den sauberen Zimmern ein. Xenia und Thierry sind sehr nett, reagieren schnell und hilfsbereit und ihr kleiner Hund Tas war ein willkommener Besucher. Insgesant eines der schönsten AirBnBs, die wir bisher besucht haben!

Great place! The hosts are super friendly. Thierry gave us some great recommendations for nearby restaurants. We bathed in the river behind the house, the children loved it. Very nice pool too. I highly recommend it. The accommodation is in a very quiet area close to affordable restaurants. I would go back there without hesitation

Super logement! Les hôtes sont hyper sympathiques. Thierry nous a fait de très bonnes recommandations pour des restaurants proches. Nous nous sommes baigner dans la rivière derrière la maison les enfants ont beaucoup aimé. Piscine très belle aussi. Je recommande fortement. Le logement est dans un espace très tranquille a proximité de restaurants abordables. J'y retournerais sans hésiter

a fantastic place and excellent service from its owners, I would definitely go again

un lugar fantástico y excelente atención de sus dueños , volvería sin duda a ir de nuevo

They’ve created their own little paradise, and it’s a privilege to be able to stay there.

We LOVED our stay at Xenia and Thierry's house. They are generous and caring people. The children loved the dogs Taz and Dingo, the beautiful pool, the large garden and the river at the bottom. The bedrooms do not communicate and they have their own bathroom, which is perfect with teenagers! I would 10000% recommend this place

Nous avons ADORÉ  notre sejour a la maison de Xenia et Thierry. Ce sont des personnes généreuses et bienveillantes. Les enfants ont beaucoup aimé les chiens Taz et Dingo, la belle piscine, le grand jardin et la rivière tout au fond. Les chambres a coucher ne communiquent pas et elles ont leur propre salle de bain, ce qui est parfait avec des ados! Je recommande 10000% cet endroit

The place is very nice, very clean, the service is very good and Ms. Xenia is very friendly

El lugar muy bonito, muy aseado, la atención muy buena y doña Xenia muy amable

In love! It was a family trip, we spent the holidays and it was amazing, the service from Ms. Xenia and her husband, it's a private place with a pool and access to a clean and beautiful river, it exceeded expectations, eager to return!

Enamorada! Fue un viaje familiar, pasamos fechas festivas y fue increíble, la atención de doña Xenia y su esposo, es un lugar privado con piscina y acceso a un río limpio y hermoso, sobrepaso las expectativas, con ansias de volver!

This is a beautiful place to stay about 20 minutes away from La Fortuna. The trees and nature surrounding the place is just perfect. We saw lots of different kinds of birds and heard the howler monkeys but never saw them. The pool is perfect and the bedrooms are very spacious with very comfortable beds. Just beware that the bathrooms have open windows so bugs do come in and the kitchen had a lot of bugs flying around too, but that is part of the experience. Gerry and Xenia are very gracious hosts and have two very sweet dogs, Taz and Dago. One more thing to consider if you have children is the rooms are separate from each other so those with little children might not be as comfortable with that setup. Overall a beautiful place to stay…a true Costa Rican experience.

Our family had an amazing stay at La Renardiere and we hope to be back! Xenia and Thierry were wonderful hosts-very welcoming and responsive but never intrusive. They gave us a tour of their beautiful property upon check-in and shared the bounty of their garden with us. They provided many recommendations as requested. Their dogs, Dago & Taz, were so loving and we enjoyed them. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well supplied. It was a perfect place for us and we loved our five nights here. Muchas gracias and merci beaucoup!!

We had a wonderful stay. We felt right at home. In the mornings, we went on tours in the surrounding area, and in the afternoons, we swam in the beautiful pool! Xenia gave us great tips for the area that we never would have found otherwise. In the garden, she showed us delicious fruits and spices! We saw toucans in the garden and poison dart frogs in the river next to it. We were very sad when we had to leave.

Wow what a great time!! We are coming from Las Vegas, stayed 2 nights, this place is magical! Make sure you have a car that can handle off road specially if you are coming from San Jose area. The home is like a ranch style, there is no A/C but you won’t need it. The owners are right next door and always available. The dog Taz is wonderful we miss him already. The owners are so welcoming and beautiful people. We loved everything about this place, the sound of birds waking you up in the morning, the nice aroma of the flowers, the beautiful pool, can’t wait to be back!!!

Our stay was exceptional and one of a kind!I would highly recommend staying here if you are in the area or contemplating traveling to Costa Rica. The pictures don’t show how beautiful the land and property truly are. The hosts were so kind and sweet and went above and beyond to accommodate. The pool and river on the property were perfect. If I were to travel back to Costa Rica I would stay here again. I traveled with 2 friends and we had absolutely no complaints. We already miss the dogs and wish we could take them home with us! Book here you won’t regret it.

Wir haben uns sofort in das schöne und sehr liebevoll eingerichtete Haus mit diesem wunderbaren Garten und Pool verliebt. Xenia und Thierry haben uns herzlich mit frischen Früchten empfangen.  Wir haben uns sehr wohl und sicher als Nachbarn von Xenia gefühlt und wir wollten am liebsten aus diesem Paradies. nicht mehr weg, für uns war alles perfekt und wunderschön! Vielen Dank ihr beiden für alles!

Tolles Haus umgeben von einem wunderschönen Garten und liebenswürdigen Gastgebern und Hunden. Absolut empfehlenswert.

Superbe séjour à La Renardière.  Hôtes extraordinaires et très sympathiques.  Notre famille a adoré l'hébergement ainsi que la piscine !! Je recommande vivement cet endroit.  Merci encore à nos hôtes.

Wow! What a paradise.... this place is a true oasis... a beautiful sanctuary. Eveeyrhing just so lovingly thought about...the pool is just gorgeous...we felt like we were in a dream. I mean it was so nice and so welcome it made it very hard to leave. .. we ditched visitinf Fortuna waterfall which was on our plan to truly savour this home. We are very thankful to our hosts who lovingly bought herbs, fruit and vegetables from the gorgeous garden. Our kids even tried sugar cane! We are thankful for their advice.... it was a truly healing experience. Just sublime. Thank you. Never forgotten.

We absolutely loved La Renardiere! The host couple were so warm and welcoming, showing us the property and making us feel at home. The home itself is really special, beautifully crafted details throughout. We loved our mornings sitting on the bdrm porch for coffee, looking out at the beautiful gardens. And each evening after our adventures, we loved coming back to cook dinner in the open air kitchen while watching our kids play in the pool. The pool is made out of volcanic rock and even has a little waterfall. The hosts live on the property in another home and are there if you need them, but also give you your privacy. However, through our stay, special little extra touches appeared - a raft for the kids to use in the pool, a vase of fresh flowers, an outdoor drying rack for all our wet clothes and towels - everything was just really thoughtful. They also have a sweet little dog that our boys wanted to adopt. Hope to return!

Muy amables, muy atentos, muy limpio, muy cordial. Súper recomendados, Saludos a Taz!

Très grand logement, propre. Les hotes ont répondu à toutes nos questions avec gentillesse. Nos enfants ont adorés la piscine et nous les fleurs et la cuisine exterieur.

Lindo lugar apenas para estar en Familia , Lo recomiendo al 100

Xenia and her husband welcomed us to their beautiful villa! While they live on the property, we saw very little of them. The home is gorgeous- and felt authentically tico, this means everything had some level of outdoor exposure. We could hear a river, and wake-up calls of birds. Butterflies and hummingbirds were everywhere. The pool was the perfect temperature and little waterfalls made it even better. Xenia’s incredible art is everywhere. I hope we can come back sooner rather than later!

gracias Rachel por su bonita reseña estamos feliz que te encanto tu temporada con nosotros buen regreso besos fuerte

The space is very nice and my family enjoyed the pool and the beauty of the property. The place is about 15-25mins from La Fortuna, depending on where you are going. Rooms were comfy and Xenia and her husband are very accommodating and kind. We loved them and hope to come back one day. One thing to mention to other guests was that the bathroom windows are open/no glass, so a significant amount of flying insects would come in through there and we had to keep the door to the rooms closed to avoid those from coming in. I had a racket zapper and took care of any that came in, but just a heads up on that one if it matters.. The ceiling fans in the rooms I'm sure helped keep anything from biting at night, plus my racket..

La perfection! Les hôtes étaient exceptionnels. Ils sont sympathiques et là pour nous. La Renardière est un endroit extrêment confortable avec beaucoup de commodités. Nous avons adoré notre trop court séjour... Merci pour tout!

The place was perfect for my family and I.. Highly recommend house, location and especially the hosts!! Oh yeah also the pup, my kids loved playing with the dog..  If you’re looking for a laidback town with the true Costa Rica vibes this is the place!! Small town that’s not full of tourists!! We will stay again if we ever visit La Fortuna again!!

This Airbnb is one of the most amazing places we’ve ever stayed at as avid travellers. We had a lovely 4-day stay in the gorgeous house and we often preferred to stay in and enjoy the many beauties and facilities at the house father than exploring La Fortuna. There is a pool, a river nearby, darts, and many such things to do. The house itself is also quite beautiful and very comfortable to stay and cook in. Lastly, the hosts are two wonderful people who made our stay even better with their generosity and kindness.

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful home just 15 minutes outside of La Fortuna. The property exceeded all of our expectations peaceful, spacious, and surrounded by nature. The hosts were exceptionally friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. One of my favorite moments was a walk around the property with the owner, who shared so much knowledge about the plants and trees he’s growing truly impressive! The house was spotless when we arrived and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including a well equipped kitchen. We especially loved the large backyard and the badminton net, which made for some fun afternoons. The host also gave us great recommendations for local restaurants and activities, which really enhanced our experience. Overall, it was better than we’d hoped for. I highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting the La Fortuna area we’d definitely come back!

Quedamos enamorados de la propiedad. La casa es preciosa, todo estaba limpio y ordenado, cuenta con todo lo que se necesita para sentirse en casa. Los jardines y patio son bellísimos,  tienen árboles frutales, la piscina les encantó a mis hijos y al estar al frente de la cocina se está pendiente de los niños siempre. Doña Xenia y don Thierry son bellas personas, siempre con un trato amable y respetuoso, que personas tan tan agradables, sin duda alguna vamos a volver.

gracias zully y david por esta reseña tan hermosa ,nosotros quedamos encantados de compartir con ustedes nuestra casa es suya hasta pronto

Xenia place was beautiful and so cozy, surrounded with beautiful nature, the pool was excellent, 100% recommended. Gracias Xenia

My family had a lovely time at Xenia’s place. The layout was great, kitchen had everything we needed and the property was absolutely beautiful. We got a great tour of the property and all the plants in it as well as great local recommendations for restaurants and things to do. My daughters loved the pool and swam in it every chance they got. We especially loved the four legged hosts. We would absolutely stay here again and would recommended it to anyone looking for a place to stay in the Arenal area, what a gem!

El lugar es hermoso, Xenia y su esposo suy muy amables y nos hicieron sentir mejor que en casa. Sin duda alguna volveré a ese precioso paraíso, un lugar genial para decansar y relajarse, con todo muy cerca, para hacer compras o restaurantes si no quieres cocinar.. 100% recomendada. 💖💖💖💖

Xenia and Thierry were the best hosts we could have asked for. They were very friendly and attentive to our needs, ensuring we had everything we required. They gave us fantastic recommendations for local restaurants and sodas ( all of which were delicious) and family friendly activities. We loved staying at their place, enjoying the peace away from La Fortuna town, and the tourist crowds. It truly felt like home, offering both privacy and comfort. The accommodations were exactly as described - clean, cozy , and safe . The kitchen was well equipped, though we mostly used it for breakfast and coffee since we dined out each evening. The pool was spotless and perfect for relaxing and cooling off in the evenings. We also adored having the dogs around to play with. Overall we had a wonderful time and would definitely stay at their place again. Even though we were there for more than a week we wished we could have stayed even longer! Totally recommend their Airbnb!

Xenia and Thierry were excellent hosts and we felt at home while we stayed there.  Very helpful with recommendations of things to do, flexible with checkout and spotlessly clean and tidy accommodation.  The volcanic rock pool was a real bonus and Xenia even gave us fresh produce from her garden to try - highly recommend.

Verdaderamente el lugar es extraordinario si lo que se busca es tener una comunión con la naturaleza y el confort que ofrecen los anfitriones.  Xenia y Thierry son mucho más que anfitriones pues en ellos encontramos amabilidad,  calidez y mucha atención a cualquier necesidad que pudiéramos tener, haciéndonos sentir verdaderamente como en nuestra propia casa. El lugar es un pedacito de paraíso.  La casa y la piscina sumamente disfrutables

We had such a lovely stay here. We loved the pool, the garden, the dog, the thoughtfully decorated rooms, well equipped kitchen and especially the birdlife all around. It felt so magical and very Costa Rican to us. The hosts are so nice and gracious, thank you for welcoming us to your place. If we ever come back to Costa Rica, we are definitely staying here again.

gracias por su comentario tan bonito estaba un placer por nosotros también hasta pronto!!!

Un séjour inoubliable grâce à Xenia et Thierry Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été accueillis avec une chaleur et une générosité exceptionnelles. Xenia et Thierry sont des hôtes formidables qui ont su rendre notre séjour mémorable pour toute notre famille. Le logement est un véritable havre de paix, aménagé avec soin et goût. L’emplacement est idéal, offrant à la fois tranquillité et accès aux merveilles de la région. Chaque instant passé ici a été une véritable immersion dans la culture. Nos hôtes nous ont offert bien plus que nous ne pouvions espérer et nous ont fait vivre des expériences exceptionnelles. Leur hospitalité dépasse les mots, et nous préférons laisser aux futurs voyageurs la joie de découvrir tout ce qui rend leur accueil si unique. Xenia et Thierry, merci du fond du cœur. Votre gentillesse et votre générosité nous marqueront à jamais. Nous repartons avec une immense gratitude et l’espoir de vous revoir un jour. Merci infiniment ! Martin, Kim, Zack et Malik

What a fabulous find! We adored our stay at Xenia and Thierry's beautiful property. The guest house is even more beautiful than the photos! Upstairs are two spacious and tastefully decorated rooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom (including hot showers). Downstairs you have a large covered dining area and an open, well stocked kitchen! The star is the beautiful private pool with waterfalls and massage seats, surrounded by lush tropical gardens! We saw big flocks of toucans (2 kinds) and scarlet macaws in the trees outside our rooms. The property is quite large and you can wander through their lovingly tended fruit trees and flowering plants down to the river, where you can soak in your own private corner of the rainforest. Xenia & Thierry were amazing hosts, we stayed for 4 weeks with our toddler and thoroughly enjoyed everything! It's 3 minutes drive from a small town (Chachagua), with grocery stores, a bakery, restaurants. 15 minutes from La Fortuna. Book it now!

Excelente lugar, servicio increíble en especial Pilón :)

Hôte très accueillant, endroit tranquille et sécuirtaire

la seule surprise était que les chambres ne communiquaient pas ensemble nous avions des jeunes enfants donc pas pratique et aussi qu'il y avait des fenêtres mais sans vitre dans la salle de bain et dans la douche un oiseau et des insectes y entraient...

We had a delightful 6-night stay at Xenia and her husband's lovely home. Their property is stunning, with exotic trees adorning the backyard. From the moment we arrived, they were incredibly friendly and made us feel at ease throughout our stay. On request, they prepared delicious vegetarian breakfasts at a very reasonable price, adding to the warmth of our experience. Both Xenia and her husband are genuinely welcoming, and their home is nestled in a serene, relaxing location. Waking up to the sound of birds chirping and the gentle flow of the river was a true treat. The rooms offer spectacular views from their balconies, enhancing the tranquil ambiance. Our kids especially enjoyed spending time with their wonderful dogs and cats, which added an extra layer of joy to our trip. I wholeheartedly recommend Xenia's place for anyone seeking a true nature getaway!

gracias jimy y familia por este commentario tan bonito de nuevo feliz ano et muchas bendicionnes para ustedes

Xenia and family are terrific hosts. They make you feel at home. She prepared wonderful breakfast for us. We loved our time at their house. Friendliest hosts ❤️

gracias por su bonita resena feliz fin del ano

We loved this place so much we will be back for a longer term stay! Thank you so much.

Highly recommended B&B with fantastic hosts Xenia & Thierry who live in a separate building at the property with their lovely dogs and offer an unprecedented level of hospitality! We were 4 people arriving on the Christmas Eve. As pre-arranged with Xenia, there was a 5 course French Tico dinner awaiting us in a great company with full-blown Christmas decorations and lights! We stayed 5 nights. The setup was perfect for 2 couples: 2 rooms with own entrances and locks (each perfectly furnished, with a shower, toilet and garden-facing balcony) + kitchen space and tranquil outdoor sitting with garden views. We also took advantage of the river passing through the property: each finding our perfect hydromassage spot to refresh on a hot day! In addition, we opted for a daily breakfast with them for a fair price. Location was strategically away from the road and out of the noisy La Fortuna, with only the sound of the river, the birds and occasional howler monkeys in the background.
