I loved the house from the moment I saw it, surrounded by nature, with an incredible view and privacy. I really enjoyed the house. The weather was amazing. The host was very friendly and super attentive, with immediate responses and solutions. I hope to come back with my friends and family so they can have the experience too!

The place was amazing, pictures do not do it justice! Mar was responsive to all of our questions, coordinated a private chef and provided tons of options and things to do. The backyard was amazing including seeing all the wildlife out back! Would def be back again!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! The views were absolutely incredible, and the property felt very private and peaceful. The location was perfect, conveniently situated between Dominical and Uvita, making it easy to explore both areas. We loved having Scala just down the road. It was fantastic. There was so much wildlife around the property, which made the experience even more special. The hosts were all wonderful and very helpful throughout our stay. You will need a car to get up and down the mountain if you plan to explore, but it is absolutely worth it. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Absolutely stunning house. Photos do not do it justice. We had excursions booked but could have just as easily spent the seven days lounging by the pool with the breathtaking views. Only hiccup was the refrigerator stopped working and several hundred dollars worth of food and beverages were spoiled and had to be thrown out. They ended up having to order a part, but it didn’t arrive until after we checked out, so we did not have a working fridge for over 3 days.
