Everything about this place is a little magical and Gloria was the best host in terms of communication and recommendations. Would highly recommend exploring La Paz waterfall gardens and getting to Poas to see the volcano up close that you can see from the house. Also, would highly recommend having Yadi handle any meals as they were delicious and delivered right to the house. Take the time to explore the property and take the trail to the river. It’s a beautiful spot and great place to end our Costa Rica trip.

The house and the gardens are amazing! The large patios enabled us to enjoy being outside in spite of some rainy weather. We saw lots of beautiful birds.The neighbors were so friendly. We didn't have a car but one of them drove a taxi so it was easy to get to town, and another, Yadi, delivered delicious home cooked meals. It was a delightful experience!

This stay was a wonderful experience! We spent Christmas at Gloria's house and it was perfect. The house and grounds are beautiful, with a gorgeous view. We enjoyed the well-maintained trail down to the river from the house, and visited the Blue Falls - highly recommend for those able to manage some stairs and elevation. We had a couple dinners cooked by the neighbors and they were delicious. Yadi and her family are very kind, and invited the kids to see their newborn calf. We enjoyed listening to the monkeys and watching the toucans and hummingbirds. Highly recommend!

Beautiful home, beautiful setting

My family of 5 loved this home! We stayed just two nights after staying near Manuel Antonio and then La Fortuna so we could visit the Blue Falls and have a short drive back to SJO - and then wished we could stay longer. The home is very well stocked, has several cute sitting areas, and is perfect for bird watchers. We really enjoyed a dinner in that the neighbor prepared for us. Our stay definitely exceeded our expectations!

A wonderful, unique place to stay

We absolutely loved this house, grounds, and location. The owner has thought of all the little things that make a house feel like a home. The huge outdoor porches with comfortable tables and chairs while looking at the Poas Volcano in the distance is a dream come true. Howler monkeys talked to us every day and the bird life surrounded the entire area. We really did wake to Toucans and Monkeys. If you want a place to stay that you’ll always want to come back to then this is it. Owner Gloria goes above all expectations to make this both comfortable and unique. Wish we could give it 10 stars.

She provided us with information for different things to do, where to eat etc. Everything was within an hour a way from the house. The location of this house is wonderful. It's away from the city and you feel like you are in your own paradise. The house itself is gorgeous. Gloria definitely made sure that we enjoyed our time in Costa Rica.

Our stay exceeded our expectations and was the best part of our trip to Costa Rica. Our hostess, Gloria, was amazing. She communicated in a prompt and caring manner to any questions. We were greeted by the wonderful neighbors upon arrival. Warm empanadas when we arrived, breakfast prepared at our house the next morning and dinner with amazing neighbors.

This place is exotic! 6 of us stayed here with plenty of space. The first day some of our group was ill and so we stayed in most of the day. It still felt like an exotic vacation. The views of the jungle, the wild life, and the plants are amazing on this property. We loved how much character the property and house has! The beds were so comfortable. The house had everything we needed. Gloria was so responsive and helpful. There is so much to do once we left the property. The neighbors are so nice!

Unbelievably Amazing

We were beyond please with this place, we spent two and half weeks here on and off, the beauty and abundance of nature contrasted with the beauty of the town, people and service went beyond our expectations, by far our favorite place so far in our yearly vacations to mi Tierra... we are so grateful of the existence of this place and the people who made our trip so wonderful with their sweet hospitality , truly heaven in tiquicia. Thank you again for everything. Stuff to check out the mi cafecito place, with it’s top typical Costa Rican food and amazing service, the small river after the rio sarapiquí was an amazing experience for all the three of our children ( 12 months, 5 year old and 8 year old), the day trip to the waterfall and then to the serpentario in La Virgen, the food there also delicious, also the pizza spot in that same town, off the chain... we hope we will be able to come again soon.

Paradise/Paraiso

I've been having the best experience of my life here in this beautiful paradise. To start, Mrs. Gloria is a lovely person who is always attentive to our needs. She answers all my questions promptly and is super friendly. Yadi and his family are incredibly kind and their breakfasts and meals are delicious, especially the rice pudding. I haven't enjoyed meals this much in years, I absolutely loved them. Manuel and his family are also very loving people, making us feel like a part of their family. Their cheeses and cow's milk are spectacular. Gloria's house is so peaceful with the most beautiful views we've ever seen. The toucans, monkeys, and the variety of bird species make it feel like a place out of this world. The waterfalls and views are the best. When I return to Costa Rica, I will definitely be staying here every day. Why look for more when you can have it all in one place? See you soon 🇨🇷 Pura Vida ♥️
