Daniela's home is truly a slice of paradise! From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped in a sense of tranquility that's hard to find elsewhere. The surrounding natural beauty is breathtaking – waking up to the sounds of birdsong and the gentle rustling of leaves was incredibly restorative. The house is a perfect blend of comfort and charm, with thoughtful touches that made me feel right at home. I spent my days exploring the nearby trails, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere, and simply relaxing in the serene surroundings. Daniela has created a truly special retreat. Beyond the beautiful location, Daniella's hospitality was exceptional. She was incredibly responsive and helpful and genuinely cared about ensuring I had a wonderful stay. Her warmth and attention to detail made all the difference. If you're looking for a place to escape the hustle and bustle and reconnect with nature, look no further. I left feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and deeply grateful for the experience.

This place is simply spectacular. The photos, even if it's hard to believe, fall short! Upon arrival, you find a space that is full of design, harmony and detail in every corner. If you love design and well-kept aesthetics, you will feel deeply inspired. Each item — from kitchen utensils to finishes — was selected with exceptional quality and taste, making the entire stay a memorable experience. Everything is designed for absolute enjoyment. In addition, the location is a great plus: a few minutes from San Jose, which makes it perfect for a short, hassle-free getaway. And as if that were not enough, Daniela's service was on another level: empathetic, attentive and genuinely interested in everything going perfectly. One of the best Airbnb Experiences I've had on Airbnb. I recommend it without thinking twice.

We had a fantastic stay at Daniela and Cesar's place. The house is beautiful—absolutely gorgeous. It is even more spacious than in the pictures. The living room is big, comfortable, and well connected to the terrace. The pizza oven outside is an eye-catcher, and it's a fun activity to make pizzas while you're there. The view over Cartago (and southern San José) is astonishing. As you walk from the living room to the bedrooms, the mirror is so well placed that it offers an amazing view. The weather changes constantly, making it fun to see the full variety of clouds! The beds are super comfortable. Our children absolutely loved the small beds that slide out from underneath the big beds. And the equipment throughout the house is top-notch (they even have a water tap above the stove!) Lastly, Cesar and Daniela (and Andrey) made absolutely sure everything was perfect for us. So thank you very much!
