Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Rivas

The house is large with green spaces and overall comfort. Safe and quiet place. close to everything you need too. It sleeps very well. The house is well equipped.

Great location between Santa Maria and Copey. Our dogs loved the secure garden and short trail to the river. Rolando was a lovely host.

We had a great couple of nights at Guillermo’s beautiful place! It was a special stop on our travels to celebrate a friends birthday and from the moment we stepped foot through the gates, made our way through the lovely gardens, and into the cool sleek apartment we felt at home. We were able to cook with ease (everything we needed and more), great efficient laundry service, and a comfortable sleep and nice hot shower! The decor made it all the more homely (small details like nice smells and soft towels), and being able to watch the birds from both front and rear balconies was a treat. We had a great time and I’d recommend to anyone. We were 3 friends, but this is an ideal family destination too!

Our party of 12 all loved our stay. We particularly appreciated the attentiveness of Emanuel, who offered local expertise and guidance, and the immediate responses from the host, Peter. The birds and monkeys we could see from the patio made it a spectacular location. Lovely patio and pool. Table that seated 12 and a well equipped kitchen that could accommodate multiple cooks made the stay even more delightful. Thanks!

This is a beautiful house with everything we needed. The views are beautiful as well. There are some neighborhood dogs that can bark at night (not every night) so bring your ear plugs. We would definitely stay here again.

Second time staying here, this time with family, there isn’t a person that doesn’t fall in love with the weather and the views from this cabin. It’s great, accesible and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Doug is very friendly and attentive!

A very peaceful place, away from the noise, from the village, ideal for rest and relaxation. Rustic, simple and with a spectacular view of the most majestic mountains of Costa Rica💯

An unforgettable experience, the property and its amenities are a sight to behold. Communication with Melania is very assertive, the project as a whole is a brave proposal and I say to support it for the national and international client. Thank you Melania for your attention! Will return Regards

We had an amazing stay at this house! It was very spacious and perfect for our group of 13 people. We absolutely loved having access to two pools, which made our experience even more enjoyable. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed, including matches to light our birthday candles, which was a nice touch! The space for three cars was more than enough, and we loved that the beach was just 600 meters away. We truly enjoyed every moment here, and we will definitely be coming back in the future. Highly recommended!

What an amazing location! Probably one of the most stunning views of Costa Rica but certainly the best learning experience on sustainable living! The cooking of Marga is fantastic, make sure to eat there! You'll enjoy the nature and surroundings of this amazing finca! Un encanto for the mind and soul. I really enjoyed the tour of the finca and the approach/mindset on life. One day I hope to be back!

This place was an amazing retreat into the mountains after a long week in the humidity at envision. A beautiful place to decompress and relax amongst the clouds. Chema and Marga are amazing hosts, so kind and open with fascinating stories and insights into eco- living. The food is incredible— fresh local ingredients and made with love. I highly recommend! Definitely visit the nearby swimming holes / waterfalls as well. One of my favorite places to date!

I arrived at Chema and Marga’s place after a long bumpy ride on an unpaved road. My first view of the property almost brought tears to my eyes - their home is basically in the clouds! I felt so lucky to be there. And then when I walked in through the big, beautiful, heavy wooden front doors the sight of the interior really took my breath away. Even now words escape me as it is difficult to describe the feeling of peace and serenity I felt immediately. The home is just gorgeous and I have great respect for Chema and Marga for building this masterpiece by hand. Everything the other reviewers said is accurate, I will just add that there is a majestic view of the stars on clear nights, that Marga is one of the strongest and most amazing women I’ve ever met, and Chema is a wise old man who gave me incredible information about the earth that I’m really grateful for. I was so glad to have had access to such delicious home cooked vegan meals as well - thankful to the hosts for accommodating my specific diet. This is a perfect place to get away from city life, to experience the healing gifts of nature and to be in silence. Thank you Chema and Marga for opening up your home to guests, and allowing us access to this slice of paradise.

The house was very modern, clean and comfortable for two people. The kitchen was nicely equipped for cooking. The back porch had a table and chairs to eat and look out over the coffee plants and mountains. We would stay here again, but would first check with the owners about the construction project on the property. A new house is being built nearby and the workers show up at 6:30 and make noise all day. This house will be very enjoyable and relaxing when the construction is finished.

I booked this listing for a group of 8 women. We all needed time to get away from our busy lives in the U.S. The six nights at La Sombra were peaceful and inspiring! What a beautiful location and beautiful grounds. We were all stunned by the property, in a good way:) It was even better than the beautiful pictures provided. Each villa was appointed beautifully with quality linens, towels, robes, bath soaps, dishes, etc. We especially enjoyed the patio views and the design of the structures that incorporate natural light and the surrounding nature. We ate dinner each night on the patio of the main house, and found a spot for morning meditations on the bridge. Catherine and Ryan were available and responsive before, during and after our visit. And, I cannot say enough about the local cook, Marta. We all wanted to take her home with us! What a treat:) Thank you for sharing your home with us, Catherine and Ryan!

This is a very special place up in the cloud forest. In the morning you can see the Pacific coast and mountains and in the afternoon you can watch the clouds come in. It's stunning. The dome structure is spectacular and the interior is pure zen. We had a lot of interesting conversations with Chema and Marga's food is so tasty and balanced. This was a one of kind place.

A beautiful place to stay outside the city! Wanda was an excellent host and helped us with everything we needed. The house is much nicer than the photos, in the middle of coffee plantations and in a very safe area! It had everything you need and more! Thank you!
