River Vista Retreat

We had the most amazing 9 day stay at Casa Anastasia. Our group included 4 adults and 3 teens. This house was absolutely perfect for all of us. We have honestly never stayed in a better place. One of our favourite parts was waking up and drinking coffee while listening to the sound of howler monkeys on the property. It was such a once in a lifetime experience for us, and something we will always remember. We spent so much of our time enjoying the space, picking fresh limes and mangos, relaxing in the pool, and just taking in the beautiful surroundings. We also had a chef with us who loved the outdoor cooking area. While she was cooking, some of us were in the pool, and some of us were playing games. The space worked perfectly for our group. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the whole house just made it so easy to relax and enjoy our time together. Anytime we had a question Joseph,Lucretia or Jose Luis responded so quickly, which we really appreciated. We loves it all.

This property is perfect for a large group. We utilized the al fresco kitchen every night, very convenient. The first night Joseph recommended and coordinated a dinner for us with Chef Franck. So thoughtful, we arrived late and hungry and were gratefully satiated. Thank you for sharing your comfortable home and thank you to Jose Luis for his silent presence.

Great hosts! Loved the place, me and my 7 friends stayed over for a trip and don’t regret a thing. Loved Costa Rica! The house is just as described, beautiful, gave villa vibes. Would highly recommend to anyone coming here!

This was an amazing trip and it was in thanks a great deal to staying here! The owner helped us make plans and book tours well ahead of our trip. He connected us with fantastic and reliable guides, drivers, and even a private chef and masseuse to come to house. The property manager was extremely responsive, friendly, and accommodating. She answered every question quickly - no matter when! She even made reservations for us! The onsite caretaker is very sweet! He helped us spot the howler monkeys in trees on site! He took great care of the property and made us feel secure. The house is comfortable and the grounds are spectacular. Honestly one of the best Airbnb experiences we have had due to the people alone. We are already talking about going back!!

Very nice accommodation, the manager, the owner and Don Emiliano make for an incredible stay

This house transports you to a slice of paradise. Don’t let the drive to the house along dirt roads deter you from the prize at the end. We enjoyed mornings exploring the local areas with, afternoons by the pool and early nights. The groundskeeper was fantastic and made sure to always be available for anything we may need. We had monkeys to watch in the trees, adequate shade to hide under from the sun. It really was a fantastic trip.

Great stay, the host was always available to answer our questions and visit suggestions. Emiliano is very helpful, makes sure the pool and rancho are always clean and it gives a sense of security. And he would come and warn us every time he saw monkeys on the grounds. We saw spider monkeys, white-headed and howler monkeys in the trees at the front of the house. There was also a family of owls. The house matches the photos. The pool and ranchos are perfect for outdoor cooking and enjoying some shade. We are happy with our stay.
