Well designed, cozy, comfortable with a fully equipped kitchen. We loved the location, quiet with a good pizza nearby, a grocery store that had everything we needed and it's a walking distance from playa cuevas.

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.

We loved everything ! We loved the area, super chill vibe, safe, with surprisingly lots of resto and even a brewery! The lodge itself was perfection too, with nice outdoor spaces and everything you need inside! We would come back anytime. Diego was also a gem !!

This villa is absolutely stunning! We stayed here as a family of 4, with kids 19 and 22. We had had a week of activities further north, and stayed here for a week of relaxation as the second part of our trip. This villa could not have been more perfect for all of us for this. Sophie was extremely helpful, not only for our villa needs but also with recommendations for restaurants, car hire and trips. Extremely luxurious and well designed villa which sits just a few minutes above the cool town of Santa Teresa. I would also say - come in the rainy season! It's actually the most beautiful time as everything is so green. It rains for maybe an hour every day but otherwise perfect sunny weather.

Beautiful house on the hill over Santa Teresa. We loved the design of the house in every detail and we felt completely private. The host was very responsive and was helping us organising various things we may need (from transfers to booking trips locally).

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!
