A wonderful experience, because of the location of the accommodation, because of how clean and beautiful the apartment is, and because of the warmth of the people who work on its maintenance. I highly recommend trying the experience.

A very very high standard of amenities, facilities and atmosphere. The place is thoughtfully planned. The building, pool, living area and kitchen are striking. All facilities and amenities needed are there. Decoration is very thoughtful and tasteful. It breathes an atmosphere of luxury without the over the top nonsense. By nature I am a restless person but even I enjoyed hanging around here and looking at the trogons pass by, the raccoon family run around and just enjoying the house in all its glory. The bar was raised by Sophie as this place is immaculate. Distance to beaches is within ten minutes (surf haven playa grande) or a little further for a more American feeling (playa brasilito), a Local feeling (playa Puerto Viejo) or wild feeling (baia Piratas).

What a fantastic place, we absolutely loved it! We stayed here at the end of our three-week trip around Costa Rica, and it was the perfect place to slow down and enjoy a few peaceful days. The house was incredibly comfortable and had everything we needed, as well as a beautiful, stylish interior and an amazing setting surrounded by lush green vegetation, with monkeys in the trees right outside. The beach was close by, and there was a great choice of restaurants in the area. Sophie’s guidebook was incredibly useful, we actually used it every single day! Thank you so much, Sophie, for putting so much thought into everything and making the house such a wonderful place for your guests. We would happily come back!

We spent three days as a family. The property is beautiful, and the hosts are very attentive. My children (7 and 12) really enjoyed the place and the nearby beaches (Grande, Puerto Viejo, Real). We'll be back :)
