3BR house in Bijagua de Upala

MAKING FRIENDS IN THE BASKET - Houses for Rent in Bijagua de Upala, Costa Rica

Please note that the house is usually occupied by the host and his family. Upon reservation, they vacate the house to give access to the tenants. The house is very well-equipped and there is plenty of space, ideal for a family. It is very well located for access to the Tenorio Volcano National Park (Rio Celeste). We had a great time there! Note that we stayed there in July, during the rainy season, and since Bijagua is located between 2 volcanoes, the cloud cover was omnipresent and the rain was very frequent, with few periods of sunshine. Ulfran and his family are extremely welcoming and accommodating.

Il faut savoir que la maison est habituellement habitée par l’hôte et sa famille. Sur réservation, ils libèrent la maison pour en donner l’accès aux locataires. La maison est très bien équipée et il y a beaucoup d’espace, idéal pour une famille. Elle est très bien située pour l’accès au parc national du volcan Tenorio ( Rio Céleste) Nous y avons passé un excellent séjour! À noter que nous y avons séjourné en juillet, durant la saison des pluies, et que puisque Bijagua est situé entre 2 volcans, le couvert nuageux était omniprésent et la pluie très fréquente, peu de périodes d’ensoleillement. Ulfran et sa famille sont extrêmement accueillants et accommodants.

Excellent place. The house is very beautiful, comfortable, fully equipped, and very quiet. The place is surrounded by lots of nature, a small lake, and a park for children. The owner was very kind. He waited for us even though we arrived at almost 11 pm, and he welcomed us with a beautiful, very friendly orange cat. We definitely look forward to visiting you again

Excelente lugar, la casa muy bella, cómoda, equipada al máximo y muy tranquila. El lugar está rodeado de mucha naturaleza, laguito y parque para niños. El dueño muy amable, nos espero a pesar de que llegamos casi a las 11pm y nos recibió con un bello gato naranja muy amistoso. Sin duda alguna, esperamos volver a visitarles

We stayed with Ulfran Gerardo last night and it was a really amazing experience. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel at home. The location is perfect They were extremely friendly and helpful, and the house was spotless. The place conveys a lot of peace and quiet, ideal for resting and disconnecting from everyday stress. Our children really enjoyed the games and activities available, which made the stay even more special for the whole family. If you are looking for a place to relax, reconnect, and feel at home, this is definitely the perfect place. We recommend staying with Ulfran Gerardo 100%!

Nos hospedamos con Ulfran Gerardo anoche y fue una experiencia realmente increíble. Desde el momento en que llegamos nos hicieron sentir como en casa. La ubicación es perfecta Fueron sumamente amables y atentos, y la casa estaba impecable. El lugar transmite mucha paz y tranquilidad, ideal para descansar y desconectarse del estrés diario. Nuestros hijos disfrutaron muchísimo los juegos y actividades disponibles, lo que hizo que la estadía fuera aún más especial para toda la familia. Si están buscando un lugar para relajarse, reconectar y sentirse como en casa, este es sin duda el lugar perfecto. ¡Recomendamos hospedarse con Ulfran Gerardo al 100%!

Everything is excellent; it's a quiet place surrounded by nature. Very spacious for a large family.

Todo excelente,  es un  lugar tranquilo y rodeado de naturaleza. Muy espacioso como para una familia grande.

It was a nice stay; we had a great time enjoying the amenities with our dogs. Very cozy house.

Fue una bonita estadía, la pasamos muy bien en las amenidades con nuestros perros. Muy acogedora la casa.

Ulfran's place is a beautiful oasis. They are a generous host who communicate well and fast! The accomodation is near a river, which luls you to sleep. In front of the proper lies luscious trees where funky little birds like to hang out. The kitchen is well stocked, beds quite comfortable and every bedroom had a fan to help with the heat. The only downside may be the lack of hot water in the shower, which can be forgiven given the beauty of the surroundings! Thank you Ulfran, we want to come back to your home.

A perfect stay in the middle of nature! The accommodation is comfortable and very pleasant, with monkeys in the trees and toucans right on the grounds 🐒🦜. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming. We highly recommend it!

¡Una estancia perfecta en plena naturaleza! El alojamiento es cómodo y muy agradable, con monos en los árboles y tucanes justo en el terreno 🐒🦜. Los anfitriones son muy amables y acogedores. ¡Lo recomendamos totalmente!

Everything was impeccable, they took care of every detail, the place is beautiful! They are very good hosts! The kitchen was super well equipped!! 100 out of 10!!

Todo impecable, cuidaron cada detalle, el lugar es precioso! Ellos muy buenos anfitriones! La cocina estaba super bien equipada!! 100 de 10!!

Very nice property, it has a river in which you can bathe. The property is surrounded by nature

Muy linda la propiedad, tiene un río a la para en el cual uno se puede bañar. La propiedad está rodeada de naturaleza

The property was wonderful  !  There is a river running through it.  It had nice places to sit outside to enjoy a morning coffee. We saw lots of different species of birds as well as a large Iguana. Would gladly stay there again.

Comfortable house - we didn't get to meet the host in person but were greeted by his niece who showed us the house and spotted some monkeys for us as soon as we got there. we also saw toucans and other beautiful birds on the property. we didn't take advantage of bathing in the river bc we found it would have been a bit too much for our kids who are too young. the tubes that were available at the property were very inviting though! there are some outdoor games for the kids but some things were a bit rusty. the washing machine and dryer are a big plus. we loved having our meals outside, even when it was raining, under the covered patio

The place was nice, and so were the hosts. Washer and dryer as an absolute plus. Everything is a bit outdated, but works without problems. Some of the fly screens had holes. Otherwise, there is an almost too well-equipped kitchen (there was sometimes a lot of double) and a really huge garden. You can also sit outside or go to the river. We felt like we were at someone's home - in a very positive way. Alone, it might not be wrong to tidy up a little here and there and make room for the guests and their luggage, etc. The surrounding area is very safe!

Die Unterkunft war nett, und die Hosts ebenso. Waschmaschine und Trockner als absolutes Plus. Alles ist  schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber funktioniert ohne Probleme. Die fliegengitter hatten zum Teil Löcher. Ansonsten gibt es eine fast schon zu gut ausgestattete Küche (es gab z.T. einiges doppelt) und einen wirklich riesigen Garten. Man kann auch super draußen sitzen oder zum Fluss gehen. Wir haben uns wie bei jemandem zu Hause gefühlt - ganz positiv gemeint. Allein wäre es ggf nicht verkehrt, hier und dort ein wenig aufzuräumen und Platz für die Gäste und deren Gepäck etc. zu machen. Umgebung ist sehr sicher!

Well appointed cottage on the river. We stayed with 2 young children, they really enjoyed the property and swimming. The cottage has many kitchen amenities, easy to cook some meals. Quiet area, peaceful location, nice hosts.

a beautiful house, located in a very quiet place, incredible peace! The house is located in a beautiful estate, which has a river, a lagoon, animals, games for children .... you can walk! super recommended 👌🏼

una hermosa casa , ubicada en un sitio muy tranquilo , una paz incredible ! la casa se ubica en una quinta preciosa , que cuenta con rio , una laguna , animales , juegos para niños .... se puede caminar ! super recomendados 👌🏼

we were warmly welcomed by his wife and daughter! It's a beautiful place away from everything! We can walk all over the large property, bathe in the river and even had access to tubes! The house is large and has a lot of kitchen equipment! Outside, we took advantage of the large covered terrace to observe nature, butterflies while listening to the sound of the river! We loved our stay and would definitely recommend Ulfran and his family's accommodation!!

nous avons été accueillis chaleureusement par sa femme et sa fille! C'est un endroit magnifique à l'écart de tout! nous pouvons marcher sur toute la grande propriété, se baigner dans la rivière et avions même accès à des tubes! la maison est grande et possède beaucoup d'équipements de cuisine! à l'extérieur, nous avons profité de la grande terrasse couverte pour observer la nature, les papillons tout en écoutant le bruit de la rivière!  nous avons adoré notre séjour et recommandons sans hésiter le logement de Ulfran et sa famille!!

I only wish we had more time! We felt instantly at home. The grounds are beautiful. Cottage exactly as described. Safe. If you’re looking to be off the beaten path, this is a special place. We were in the jungle. Monkeys in the trees our first day! No AC, but it cooled down in the evenings enough with fans for this Canadian girl to sleep. If you want to tour this part of the country, this would be a fantastic place. Thanks for sharing!!!

Our family has a wonderful stay at Ulfran’s!  Ulfran cut down coconuts for our family and taught us how to open them.  The property is beautiful and filled with birds and monkeys. We loved being woken up by howler monkeys every morning!  The location was very close to many activities… Sloth’s paradise down the road was the highlight of our trip!  We saw frogs, eyelash viper snakes and sloths up close and in their natural habitat (not a zoo or caged area - completely natural).

We had a fantastic stay! The hosts were incredibly welcoming, and the river access was a highlight. There were plenty of options to play in the water, and the soothing sound of the river at night made for a peaceful and relaxing experience. The house was well-equipped with everything we needed—from a fully stocked kitchen to a comfortable shower. The mattress and pillows were exceptionally cozy, ensuring a great night’s sleep. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a serene getaway!

Finca El Canasto makes us feel at home. It's clean, all the amenities are there, the hosts are welcoming. The tourist activities offered are excellent, professional and personalized. You feel appreciated and at home! Thank you for your warm welcome! We would highly recommend it!

Finca El Canasto nous fait sentir à la maison. C’est propre, toutes les commodités s’y trouvent, les hôtes sont accueillants. Les activités touristiques qui sont proposées sont excellentes, professionnelles et personnalisées. On se sent appréciés et chez soi! Merci pour votre accueil chaleureux! Nous recommandons vivement!

Thank you to the host for their treatment and kindness. The home is a beautiful property, with everything you need and more.

Le agradecemos al anfitrión por su trato y amabilidad. El alojamiento es una propiedad bellísima, con todo lo necesario y más.

If you enjoy birdwatching, as we do, then Ulfran's house is unmissable. Very comfortable accommodation surrounded by nature. Our stay there was exceptional.

We had a great time at Ulfran and Iris's place, the site is great in the middle of vegetation and wildlife.  In fact, we were able to see a sloth with their daughter's bezel. We were fully hosted. The accommodation is very well equipped although we did not cook (breakfast prepared by Iris). A small supermarket and restaurant nearby. We would recommend this property  1000% 😉

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour chez Ulfran et Iris, le site est super au milieu de la végétation et de la faune.  Nous avons d'ailleurs pu voir un paresseux avec la lunette de leur fille. Nous avons été parfaitement bien accueilli. Le logement est très bien équipé bien que nous n'ayons pas cuisiné (petit déjeuner préparé par Iris). Un petit supermarché et un restaurant tout à côté. Nous recommandons cette adresse à  1000% 😉

The house was very well equipped, especially with kitchen appliances. We were very warmly welcomed. There were fresh coconuts from the palm tree. In the garden there is a fantastic swimming spot in the river.

Das Haus war sehr gut ausgestattet, insbesondere mit Küchengeräten. Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen. Es gab frische Kokosnüsse von der Palme. Im Garten ist eine traumhafte Badestelle im Fluss.

This was one of our favourite places to stay. The family was so helpful and lovely. The house was spotless and beautiful. There is a beautiful river right outside the door and we saw toucans, howler monkeys, oropendulas, tanagers, and a male iguana in full mating colours. There are walking trails by the river. We would come back here in a heartbeat. Thank you Ufran, Iris and Fio!

Everything is excellent, we really enjoyed the house and all the conditions, it is a very nice place surrounded by nature. All communication was correct, we will most likely go again.

Excelente todo, disfrutamos mucho la casa y todas las condiciones, es un lugar muy bonito rodeado de naturaleza. Toda la comunicación fue correcta, muy probablemente volvamos a ir.

Ulfran and his family were so kind and friendly.  We learned how to open coconuts and enjoyed the delicious fruit during our stay. Close to Tenorio and loved the area.

Gracias  por su opinión. Recuerde enviarme las fotos tomadas por acá.

We had the pleasure of meeting the family when checking in.  The home is nicely located for visiting Tenorio Volcano NP.  Our visit was brief but relaxing with the river running past the house.

Cute house with everything you need. We really liked the sound of the river next to the house, the peaceful and tranquil area and the opportunity to bring and walk a dog. We spotted huge iguanas and monkeys from the terrace. Wonderful experience.

Gracias Timo por su estadía, estamos contentos con porvsu visita

This place is gorgeous, amazing surroundings and lots of room for many people or a couple families. There’s a small store a minute walk away and you’ll probably see toucans along the way. Loved it. Close to all the local tours and restaurants. Definitely a great choice.

La familia de Isabel es formidable, amistosos, simpáticos  y en fin todos muy agradables...

thank you very much to Ufran and family! They were always very proactive in our questions! Cheerful stay in a quiet spot.

muchas gracias a Ufran y familia! fueron siempre muy proactivos en nuestras preguntas! Agradable estadía en un lugar tranquilo.

Very nice family and very helpful. Location is good, in a small village but near highway and national park, highly recommend!

Muy agradecidos con su familia y el  grupo que nos visitó.  Son personas muy alegres y divertidas... Esperamos nuevamente su visita...

Great location to Rio Celeste. Great people to work with. We even had dinner / breakfast at a reasonable price. There were some bugs but nothing to worry about.

Great quiet house in the countryside. The perfect place to stay with kids. The house is very well equipped and even without air conditioning (with fans) it is very good. Ulfran and her family are adorable and love to share with their tenants. That was a lovely stay!

Super maison au calme à la campagne. L'endroit idéal pour séjourner avec des enfants. La maison est très bien équipée et même sans la climatisation (avec des ventilateurs) on y est très bien. Ulfran et sa famille sont adorables et aiment partager avec leurs locataires. C'était un très chouette séjour!

wonderful house ,in a wonderfully beautiful park,river by the house, we were welcomed by the family, what a beautiful family,we felt like we were arriving at friends' place, the owner had prepared a fresh fruit juice for us for our arrival, pity that we didn't speak the language too much English, we would have stayed to chat with these beautiful people, we ordered breakfast for the next morning at about 7 dollars, I recommend this bad 100% on the other hand we went to the restaurant and we went back at 8 p.m. we had the surprise of being overgrown with cicadas, it was quite impressive but it is nature 🙏🥰pura vida

merveilleuse maison ,dans un parc merveilleusement beau ,rivière au bord de la maison, nous avons été reçu par la famille, quelle belle famille,nous avions l'impression d arrivé chez des amis , la propriétaire nous avait préparé un jus de fruit frais pour notre arrivée, dommage que nous parlions pas la langue n'y trop l'anglais, nous serions restésvolontiers à discuter avec ces belles personnes, nous avons commandé le petit déjeuner pour le lendemain matin à 7 dollars à peu près, je recommande cette mauvaise à 100% par contre nous sommes allée au restaurant et nous sommes rentrés à 20h nous avons eu la surprise d'être envahi de cigales, c'était assez impressionnant mais c'est la nature 🙏🥰 pura vida

Beautiful home and surrounding property,very private and peaceful,home was immaculate and fully equipped

Gracias por su visita, son gente muy amable y respetuosa

An amazing deal for what we got! Ulfran and his family were so warm and welcoming and made our stay so wonderful! They gave us recommendations, brought us fresh fruit from their beautiful and amazing property, showered us with good vibes, and did everything they could to make sure we had the best time possible! They took us on a tour of their property, for a ride on the atv, offered to let us take out their boat, and we just all around a joy to be around! I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone and will definitely be back to stay with them if I’m ever in the area!

Nice place not far from Rio Azul. The hosts are very kind :)

Amazing value for money, ideal for a family (3 bedrooms, 3 double beds and 2 bathrooms). House on amazing grounds with several fruit trees of any kind. Swimming river on the grounds. Several animals including monkeys, frogs, toucans, dogs, cows, a horse, etc. It feels really good! Only a little negative, the house smells a little humid and there are no mosquitoes. We still opened up and didn't have any mosquitoes.

Incroyable rapport qualité prix idéale pour une famille (3 chambres, 3 lits doubles et 2 salles de bains). Maison sur un terrain incroyable avec plusieurs arbres fruitiers de toute sorte. Rivière baignable sur le terrain. Plusieurs animaux dont des singes, des rainettes, des toucans, des chiens, des vaches, un cheval, etc. On s'y sent vraiment bien! Seul note un peu négative, la maison sent un peu l'humidité et il n'y a pas de mousticaires. Nous avons tout de même tout ouvert et n'avons pas eu de moustiques.

Muchas gracias, genial contar con su visita

Beautiful place near nature. A large, well-equipped house. We didn't use the kitchen because we ordered breakfast and dinner from our hosts. In 2 days we saw monkeys, hummingbirds, frogs, Lizards , mushrooms and birds.

Piękne miejsce blisko natury. Duży, dobrze wyposażony dom. Nie korzystaliśmy z kuchni, ponieważ zamówiliśmy śniadania i kolację u gospodarzy. Gospodarze bardzo przyjaźni. W ciągu 2 dni widzieliśmy małpy, kolibry, żaby, jaszczurki ,mrówki grzybiarki i mnóstwo ptakow.

Very nice family and location on nature, peaceful and quite, we highly recommend it !

Lovely place to stay. Breakfast was great. And there is a surprise! :)

We enjoyed the two nights in the Haciendo Amigos. The house is on a beautiful property and the family takes great care of their guests. We booked the optional food (breakfast & dinner) and it was just great! The room is large and we had en-suite bathrooms. We would book again immediately! Thank you so much for the hospitality and we will see you in Switzerland ;-)

Die zwei Nächte in der Haciendo Amigos haben wir sehr genossen. Das Haus liegt auf einem wunderschönen Grundstück und die Familie kümmert sich bestens um ihre Gäste. Wir haben das optionale Essen (Frühstück & Abendessen) dazu gebucht und es war einfach grossartig! Das Zimmer ist gross und wir hatten ein eigenes Bad. Wir würden sofort wieder buchen! Vielen herzlichen Dank für die Gastfreundschaft und wir sehen uns in der Schweiz ;-)

Amazing location, very and helpful people and a really good local breakfast and dinner. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Super nice property. Very nice hosts. 2 cute dogs and a delicious breakfast. Comfy bed and clean bathroom. Highly recommended.

Super schönes Grundstück. Sehr nette Gastgeber. 2 süße Hunde und ein leckeres Frühstück. Bequemes Bett und sauberes Badezimmer. Sehr zu empfehlen.

The accommodation is truly clean, warm and independent. No hot water, that's a shame. A few power outages in addition of internet outages but short term. The hosts are very welcoming until they invite you to their tables to dine with them. The house is along a river which adds an extra touch of charm. Recommended

Le logement est vraiment propre, chaleureux et indépendant. Pas d'eau chaude c'est dommage. Quelques Coupures d'électricité en ajout de Coupures internet mais de courtes durée. Les hôtes sont très accueillants jusqu'à vous inviter à leurs tables pour dîner avec eux. La maison est le long d'une rivière ce qui ajoute une touche de charme supplémentaire. Je recommande

Ulfran’s place is lovely! It is next to a beautiful river and lagoon and surrounded by a lush garden. The best part about our stay was the outstanding hospitality: we were welcomed with a selfmade pineapple smoothie, were asked whether we wanted to ride one of the family’s ATVs and got invited to join the family brunch the next morning for freshly made breakfast. We definitely recommend this place and hope to come back one day! :)

The stay at Ulfrans/Alonso’s home was amazing. We had a lot of space for ourself, were welcomed so nice and we could use anything in the kitchen and the beautiful house and garden. We felt really welcomed and like we were a family! Everything was clean and the place is not really far from the volcan tenorio Nationalpark, a chocolate Tour and some other things. We got local tips and the communication with ulfran and his brother Alonso (and the families) was very good! They always tried their best to make us feel good! I would totally recommend the place and hope to come back one day:)

Ulfran and his family are very friendly, they want to share with the husbands and make the region discover It was a plazer to meet you and share these 3 days with them Thank you very much for everything

Ulfran y su familia son muy amables, quieren compartir con los huspedes y hacer descubrir la region Fue un plazer conocerlos y compartir estos 3 dias con ellos Muchas gracias para todo

The stay at Ulfran's house has been wonderful, the truth is that the service and place is unbeatable. I would 100% recommend the place. We felt at home.

La estancia en casa de Ulfran ha sido maravillosa, la verdad es que el trato y el lugar es inmejorable. Recomendaria 100% el alojamiento. Nos hemos sentido como en casa.

fue un placer poder atender en un ambiente familiar a esta joven pareja de españoles. excelentes personas con gran calidad humana
