Family hotels and homes in Guacimal

We loved being in the middle of nature, the tranquility, sitting on the terrace watching the birds.

Best food ever, and all locally sourced, even down to ghe coffee?

The villa is located in the countryside and so every moment is filled with fresh air, butterflies and bird song. Sitting in the hot tub looking across the cloud-filled hills is a treat not to be missed. The villa itself was spacious, immaculately clean and had everything you need, thoughtfully provided by the owners, including a dehumidifier, Netflix, a kettle etc. The attractions of Santa Elena and Monteverde are close by and are easily accessible. Communication with the owners was excellent - friendly and helpful throughout. This is a wonderful villa and we highly recommend it.

Everything you need and more! The host is wonderful, so nice and accommodating. We were able to tour the property to see all sorts of beautiful birds and monkeys, plus she offered some fresh vegetables from her huge garden and made delicious breakfast. It’s super close to the park with multiple point of views of the way. Fully equipped house with comfy beds in the middle of pure nature!

The apartment was great, clean , spacious with a beautiful garden. Just 5 min from Santa Teresa with the car but you can even walk to the city! Super nice hosts, everything was perfect! Totally recommend it! 😊

From the moment we arrived Sergio was the consummate host, helping with luggage, showing us around the place, and the room. Everything about the place was clean, tidy and well cared for. The room was as described, and very comfortable, with a large walk in shower. Breakfast was excellent, a great choice of fruit, granola, eggs, toast, fruit juice and good coffee, all served with a lovely smile from Sergio and Katya. Then we had a disaster - on arrival at our next stay, some 4 hours away, we realised we had left a purse containing driving licence, ID cards, credit cards etc in the room safe. We contacted Sergio and he sprang into action, packaging the purse up and sending it by post to our final destination. He was so kind, cheerful and helpful throughout our stay, the very best Booking.com host we've ever had. Thank you again Sergio!!!

The place is perfect for groups as it has hostel vibes, but it’s a house just for you! Lily makes you feel right at home! We really enjoyed the outdoor area as well, which is simple but great for laying in the hammocks and to sit together for breakfast, dinner ….

This was my favorite part of my trip in Costa Rica. It is magical here and I hope I have that chance to visit again. My only regret is not staying longer. I had the breakfast one morning, which was lovely. The facilities are minimal. This is easily managed if planned for. There is no fridge in the little pod I stayed in, but there is a microwave. The microwave was enough for me to have a couple small meals. People have mentioned more counter space would be nice. I found it good enough. I had my things organized under the bed. Having the travel packing pods was useful. It is remote, and I suggest bringing in your own drinking water. I didn't get sick or anything, but as a precaution, that is my advice. There are lovely outdoor seating areas. I traveled with a small collapsible chair. It was great for this location, as well as when I visited beaches in other parts of the country. There are great knock off versions of the helinox chairs. If you bring one for your trip you won't regret it. This place is very special, and I offer these little tips so that you can enjoy this accommodation as much as I have. I cannot express enough how beautiful and magical the location is with the surrounding jungle covered mountains. For context. I am a solo female traveler. I felt very safe in this remote location. I had a suv rental from Adobe (very excellent car rental). I didn't need the 4wd, but had it been raining, then I likely would have used it a bit. Definitely need the high clearance on the vehicle. There was only 1 spot that required the clearance when i visited. I used the downhill assist when driving into the valley. That was very useful, and easier on the brakes. Driving back from Santa Elena in the dark was fine for me. Thank you to the hosts for having such beautiful and unique accommodations.

Great place with amazing view, lovely interior design and very spacious to host four people and have a relaxing couple of days. Welcome amenities included and who doesn’t love a drink in the jacuzzi with a Mountain View? The kids (7,8) loved to watch birds/pizotes, play some games and enjoy some of the activities nearby.

Very friendly and responsive host. Very comfortable cabin the enough room and furniture for all 4 of us to be comfortable. It was clean and bright and had amazing views.
