Our stay at Villa Manu was truly one of the highlights of our first trip to Costa Rica. From the moment we arrived, it felt like we had discovered a little hidden paradise surrounded by nature—peaceful, cozy, and even more beautiful in person than in the photos. The villa was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed to feel completely at home. Our hosts were also wonderful—incredibly kind, attentive, and always quick to respond whenever we had a question or needed anything. After each day of exploring Costa Rica, coming back to Villa Manu felt like returning to our own peaceful little sanctuary. We left with beautiful memories and were genuinely sad to say goodbye. Thank you for making our first trip to Costa Rica even more special. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend Villa Manu without hesitation. ❤️🌿✨

We had an amazing stay at Angie & Elidier's villa! Their property was gorgeous and we saw many types of birds, including macaws/parrots, and a sloth. We spent a lot of time sitting outside bird watching. It was private and we felt at home. Angie and Elidier thought of everything, including little details like providing coffee grounds and candies in the fridge. They were very responsive and kind, offering local recommendations and in La Fortuna (about a 20 minute drive). They even offered a paid laundry service which was nice to leverage half way into our trip. I would recommend their property and 100% stay here again! Thank you Angie and Elidier for a memorable stay outside of La Fortuna!

My wife and I stayed here for the first five days of our honeymoon. Within driving distance to la fortuna but tucked away in a small town of Chachagua. It was truly so serene and peaceful. The small town is very charming and the villa itself was very comfortable and a good escape from the hustle of everyday life. Highly recommend if you’re seeking a slower pace. Pura vida !

Amazing place to relax and reconnect with nature, the only noise you will hear is rain, and the wildlife around you. The property is beautiful, incredible hot tub and net. I highly recommend to explore the internal trail and ordering delivery from “La pizzeria de Sari”.

Villa Manu was a lovely place to stay and was as advertised. It is a little bit far from La Fortuna, but was in a beautiful forested area of Chachagua. Would stay again!

This place was a great choice for our family vacation. It was clean and comfortable for our family of 4. We utilized the hot tub one night and the boys loved it. We didn't get to experience the trail but a lot of people left great reviews in the notebook provided for guest comments. The check in & check out was easy. We did use google maps and it made us go through a weird little alley and loop back around to find the villa entrance but once we knew the route, it was easier to navigate to the entrance. If you are looking for a little secluded get away this place is great!
