I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful vacation home and couldn’t recommend it more. The location is absolutely perfect, just a quick 3-minute drive from the heart of Santa Teresa, so you’re close to the best restaurants and shops, yet far enough to fully enjoy the peacefulness and natural beauty of the jungle. Nestled on a quiet hillside with stunning ocean views, the setting is serene and feels like a private retreat. The house itself is spacious, thoughtfully designed, and ideal for both families and groups of friends. Every detail has been carefully considered, from the layout to the decor, creating a space that’s both functional and stylish. The concierge service was fast, friendly, and incredibly helpful, making our stay seamless from start to finish. We felt well taken care of the entire time. This place truly offers the best of both worlds: close to everything you want, but tucked away just enough to enjoy the magic of the jungle and the views. We can’t wait to come back!

The guest, Gerardo is the best guest you could have. Since he knows everything and everyone in the surrounding, he can guide you for all you need. The house is perfectly located in the forest surrounded by magnificent trees and lots of animals. The small pool is very nice in the hot afternoon and at night. The house everything you need for a long stay and it is well divided and large for a couple. The terrasse at the back is just gorgeous, calm and relaxing. My wife and me worked the whole week via internet and the WiFi is really solid with Starlink.

Fantastic vacation home with beautiful and chique design. Very comfortable and spacious in the living areas (inside and outside) with plenty of sitting possibilities. You can tell that the comfortable bedrooms were designed with much intention to details. One of the highlights of the villa is undoubtedly the private infinity pool, which overlooks the ocean and had a breathtaking sunset views. The villa is well-equipped with all amenities that you could need, especially the kitchen. We made use of the BBQ and enjoyed meals outdoor. The staff is very friendly, helpful and professional, making sure that everything is taken care of and ensured that we had a comfortable stay! Daily cleaning service id included which made our stay even more comfortable. We received great recommendations and they even organized us for day trips, private chefs and massages. They really helped make the most out of our holiday! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a peaceful and luxurious holiday. It was truly an incredible experience and would definitely visit again!

I have visited Costa Rica several times, but here I really experienced Costa Rica. The real charm of the place is that it is in a forest full of monkeys and other animals and really close to the river!! The location is excellent because unlike the noisy Santa Teresa and Monteza Zuma, here are the only gas station and supermarket in the whole area and other necessary things, but you are completely in the forest and it is not noticeable. The house is about a 10-15 minute drive to any destination you choose in the area. The house itself is very spacious and clean, I didn't need more than that. Our host Liz was very friendly and helped us with everything. We will be back!
