The open inside is divided by built in furniture in bedroom, closet, kitchenette and daybed areas. Big sliding doors lead to the porch, which is overlooking the tropical garden and providing an easy interplay between indoors and outdoors. A lush outdoor garden bathroom invites the guests to experience a shower under the stars and emphasizes the open living character of the house.

Nature lovers’ paradise
We loved the orange house. The grounds are amazing. We woke up everyday to the sound of tropical birds and we only had to sit back on the porch to see all kinds of hummingbirds, tanagers, toucans and more. We also saw an agouti crossing the yard! The house itself is beautifully done and was a good base for us to visit nearby beaches, waterfalls and take a snorkeling trip to Caño island.

A wonderful retreat
The Orange House was a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy the nearby beaches and national parks. Udo did a great job of welcoming us and taking care of all of our needs. Loved all the small touches like fresh pineapple and homemade granola!
The pool was fabulous and was a welcome place to cool off and read a book after a day out!
The property itself was quiet and wonderfully surrounded by glorious flowers and bamboo!
All in all, a very nice retreat! We did not want to leave!

Spectacular property
Udo's orange house is a perfect little suite on his property. The whole property is gorgeous and very well thought out design. The highlight of the house may very well be the bathroom though. Pictures cannot show how good it looks. My wife commented that it should be in magazines.
Udo was attentive to our requests but also gave us our space so it really feels like you have the property to yourself.
We saw plenty of toucans, heard howler monkeys and had a troupe of white faced monkeys go by about 50 feet from the patio.
We were only there a few days but they were quite lovely. If we were back in the area again we wouldn't hesitate to stay again if it were just the two of us.

This was a private paradise with lush property, fresh fruit, the sounds of the local birds every morning and afternoon... I could go one. The residents of Uvita were friendly and wanting a true local experience made this the best trip yet.

A piece of paradise
The house is a lovely, airy, open place surrounded by a beautiful estate. The open air bathroom is amazing. The pool is gorgeous and perfect for a dip after a hot day. The owner, Udo, was very accomodating and helpful. The whole area is very calm, quiet and perfect for a getaway. We will be back soon.

Beautiful villa
The orange villa is modern, comfortable and well equipped. Perfect for a couple. The terrasse is very nice and intimate in a beautiful garden with bamboo and fruit trees. The outdoor bathroom is great. Hermosa beach is at 5 minutes by car and Ballena national park and beaches at 15 minutes. No need for a 4x 4 to get to the villa.
Udo is a perfect host, proactive and discrete. Very good communication before and during our stay.
We strongly recommend. Thanks again Udo

Un paraíso! Un paradis!
Tout est parfait, Udo est tellement accueillant, la maison est splendide, décorée avec soin, il y a de belles oeuvres d’art un peu partout et toutes ces variétés d’arbres fruitiers, de plantes et de fleurs qui nous entourent en font un endroit de rêve.
Nous y avons passé une semaine et on a déjà le goût d’y retourner.
Gracías Udo de compartir su precioso lugar,
