Our stay at Daniel's country home was incredibly relaxing and peaceful. The vast property offered exceptional privacy, nestled alongside a stunning river perfect for leisurely swims. The meticulously maintained swimming pool, filled with pristine river water, added an extra layer of luxury to our stay. Inside the home, a refreshing breeze flowed through the spacious farm windows, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere.

He offered invaluable recommendations and remained highly responsive throughout our stay. The cleanliness of the property was impeccable, and the well-stocked kitchen made meal preparation a breeze. Our experience at Daniel's country retreat was nothing short of delightful.

The property is very cozy and the place where it is located looks very safe, and the property is exactly as shown in the photos. Playa Dominical and Playa Hermosa are an hour away, the streets to get to the place are in good condition. Communication with the owners was excellent and we always felt that they were looking to help us with our queries. The property does not have air conditioning but the nights are cool because it has good ventilation and with the fans it is enough to keep the house cool at night.

We loved the place and the location.

Our family had a very peaceful stay. We enjoyed the pool in the early morning and evening. Very clean home. We appreciated the laundry option and dishwasher. The road up is very steep and would not recommend it at night. We saw toucans, parakeets and the howler monkeys (6) were in the big tree next to the house in the early evening. Bring insect repellant as you are in nature. Shower pressure and heat excellent. Very comfy beds. View of the ocean and mountains incredible as well as bedroom views. The kids swam at dominicolita beach which had huge waves- the Dominica beach was red flag and lifeguard only recommended going in to your knees.

Spectacular

Cecile and Carla are the most welcoming hosts who made our stay very enjoyable. The property is stunning - we especially loved the pickleball court and infinity pool. This place is perfect if you’re looking for a relaxing retreat away. There’s a lot to do in the neighboring towns but also a lot to do should you want more of a staycation experience given how expansive and beautiful her place is. While it can be difficult to learn the way up the mountain initially, Cecile was incredibly helpful and the roads held up well despite the rain. She anticipated our every need such as ensuring we had spare lamps in case of power outages with storms that are typical in Costa Rica. Please follow her instructions and get that 4x4! Also know that it is at least a 4hr drive from SJO. I highly recommend booking at least a week long stay here - it’s truly a jungle oasis with the best hosts who make you feel right at home and go above and beyond. Thanks for an incredible stay! 10/10 would book again.

Most amazing place ever. Beautiful house with stunning jungle few. Every morning we used the yoga plattform and enjoyed our bath in the refreshing jungle river. Patricia and Gabriel are very kind amazing people, that built their own little paradise to share it with others. We had great conscious conversations and laughs. In the morning we awakened from the voice of the jungle and from our bed we could watch the birds, a squirrel. Several times we were lucky to see magical morpho, frogs and eagles. We recommend the little walk to the close by very privat magical waterfall. Very fast internet connection, clean, natural and pure place with comfortable outdoor cooking and hot shower. Thank you so much, for the lovely stay at your paradise, see you soon.

Book. This. Place. It was an absolutely AMAZING experience for your family. We spent almost a week here with our 6,4, & 2 year old and it was pure magic. Also, don’t think twice about it - get the meals, they were sensational. The property was immaculate, we started every morning with a hike and swim to the waterfall. The kiddos got to work on the farm, and the WiFi was us to check in on a few things worked great. The instructions to get to the farm was great. Yes, it’s a trek into the mountains but it’s well worth the trip. Couldn’t not recommend this place enough. We can’t wait to be back. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality.
