Casa Carmen

"The best place in the world, close to everything. The host is very friendly and gives very useful recommendations."

"A great villa located near the river. The pool was amazing, and the territory is very beautiful and well-maintained. We saw many animals around the villa during our stay: toucans, agoutis, hummingbirds, a Jesus lizard and various birds. It was wonderful to learn many interesting facts about the local wildlife from the friendly hosts. They also gave us great recommendations on places to visit and organized excursions for us. We really liked them: river tour, coconut tour and night tour. All of them are highly recommended."

"Perfect location, beautiful, clean and modern house/decoration! Had the feeling that the owners were architects or something similar!"

"Enjoyed everything here! Clean room with AC and friendly staff. Lodges are at the ‘end’ of the town (which is still only a 2mins walk from the centre) so I enjoyed the quiet here at night. Breakfast is good. The pool indeed is in the ‘hotel’ next door but you just gotta walk 50meters so I don’t see why people complain about it. In the average european hotel you gotta walk longer from your room to the pool. Humidity in the rooms is a thing indeed, but that’s just because of the weather. If you use the AC (which has drying mode too) it’s just fine."

"Great location on the way to Drake Bay. Nice an comfortable with AC in the whole house. Well equipped kitchen. But most of all, very lovely hosts who can even help with transportation to Drake Bay and tours."

"La casa es un sueño. Tiene todo lo necesario para quedarse todo el día allí . Hay mucho que hacer en la zona y salíamos mucho pero siempre con ganas de volver a disfrutar de la casa. Tal cual se ve en las fotos y la zonas es súper segura"

"Charming, luxury (AC very nice in the humid environment) on a remote deserted wonderful beach. Good cooking facilities ( no shops, so fully stock up before you arrive). Parrots and other animals at your terrace - beautiful. Very hospitable and responsive hosts, who provided great tips, seeking feedback to further enhance and even brought coconuts with straws. Hidden gem. Restaurant at Poor man’s paradise ( great foodt- 15 min walk on the beach. Book tours via Elsa Good Catch. Take the boat to/from Sierpe ( pick up on the beach) - true experience."

"The lovely photos don’t even do it justice. A lot of care has gone into these villas and gardens… it’s a really magical place. You feel surrounded my nature and the villa’s are beautifully done. Really comfortable, big beds and lovely bathrooms. The fans kept us cool at night even though the temp was high. Some reviews mention a problem with ants but we kept all food in the fridge and didn’t have a problem. Make sure you enter ‘Finca Chilanga’ into Waze/Google Maps in addition to the address provided on Booking . com - we just copied and pasted the address on our booking and ended up adventuring up a gnarly off road track that our brilliant 4wd only just about managed. Turned out we’d driven straight past it! Ooops. We only stayed for our final night in Costa Rica but could have definitely stayed longer. The pool was beautiful and refreshing too. And the hosts very friendly and helpful! Don’t hesitate to book!"
