La Colina Samara

This place was AMAZING! Loved every minute of it! It was so private and peaceful but also very close to town and the beach. The pool was so refreshing and clean. And the views!! Best views we’ve ever had! Thank you, Axel!

Axel’s home provided the perfect place to stay in Sámara. The home was amazing and the view was even better in person. Both Axel and Luis were incredibly helpful and made the entire experience very smooth. Beautiful home in a beautiful area. Can’t wait to return!

This house is even better in person than the pictures! The pool is amazing, view is breathtaking, mango tree on the deck was a huge bonus and the interior is more spacious than it looks! We had such a fabulous trip to Sámara. Luis and Axel were so helpful and gave great recommendations before we’d even asked for them. We can’t wait to come back and stay here another week!

We absolutely loved our stay at Axel's house. It is a beautiful home with stunning views. The mango tree on the deck was a bonus! Both Axel and his house manager, Luis, were extremely responsive and helpful.

My wife and I had an amazing time staying Axels home. The location was awesome, we stayed for a week and never had to drive more than 15 minutes to do all types of fun tours. The ocean view was just like in the pictures, our favorite way to start and end the day was relaxing in the pool taking in the beautiful scenery.

Our stay in Samara was absolutely unforgettable. The property itself is a peaceful paradise with spectacular views that never got old. One of our favorite details was the mango tree on the deck—it added such a lush, authentic tropical feel to the whole experience. Despite feeling like a private retreat, we loved how the location offered easy access to both the town and the beach. It was the perfect home base for all our adventures, from exploring the super cute town to ATVing through the jungle. We also had a blast out on the water with a fishing excursion and some surfing. Axel and Luis were fantastic hosts. They were very communicative throughout our stay, ensuring we had everything we needed and making us feel right at home. If you are looking for a beautiful, seamless stay in Costa Rica, this is the place! We can't wait to come back.

Everything about our stay and this home was nothing short of spectacular. The view is even more incredible in person! It was the best place to relax and decompress. The house is also in a perfect location with very easy access to town and beaches/other excursions. Luis was also very helpful in arranging a surprise for my wife’s bday and our anniversary upon arrival. Would recommend Axel’s place without hesitation and we hope to return soon! Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us, Axel! Pura Vida!

Axels house was a perfect stay to end our time in Costa Rica for our honeymoon and wedding celebration! Axel and Luis were both very communicative and helpful! One very special addition to the stay, was the beautiful mango tree, producing mangos during our stay! It was so fun watching them plunk into the pool! We love Samara and it was great to stay at Axels and experience something new!

Idyllic it was. The pictures are very accurate and our family of four truly enjoyed spending time together here. It is free of clutter and elegantly designed. Every meal is a treat from cooking it up in the kitchen that has everything you need, to the excellent grill, and wonderful bar seating. The smoothies, coffee, and cocktails were in constant rotation. The pool was kept surprisingly cool and refreshing in the shade of the Mango tree - just sitting around on the comfy deck, enjoying the view while reading our books was just what we needed. We were delighted that you really can keep the door windows open all day and not be run over by bugs, even when cooking. While there are other homes directly on both sides of this we were never disturbed or awakened. We would love to come back.
