A great starting point for daytime adventures
Review Submitted: June 2, 2011

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful house with great views. The kids loved the waterfall hike, the fireflies at night, the WIFI (teenagers) and the privacy. We enjoyed the peacefulness and the upstairs deck to have a glass of wine or to drink our coffee in the morning. We liked the feeling that our kids were safe as they played outside in this gated community of very nice people. The location was very central to the many day trip adventures that we really enjoyed. The neighbors were very friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. Chico was very nice and helpful. We had a great time.

Owner's Response: Thanks Melissa! Our house is very kid-friendly and there are lots of adventures for little ones as well as older kids right in our own garden. Our nature trail is an easy 30 minute hike for the whole family where you can see blue morpho butterflies, hummingbirds, tree ferns, golden timber bamboo, epiphytes and bromeliads without ever leaving our property. We even have bamboo walking sticks in the living room for explorers of all ages.
The tranquility and privacy of Villa Hada's terrace and balcony make it feel like you're in a very remote location but there's so much to do within a short distance. The butterfly garden and Las Muses Water Park, less than 10km away, are great morning trips for children and adults. The Tico towns of Zarcero, Grecia and Sarchi are within an hour's drive and the funky beach town of Puntarenas is an hour and 15 minutes away.
There's no need to feel out of touch (unless you want to be) at Villa Hada. Our Wifi will keep you connected and allow you continue to research your Costa Rican adventure right from the comfort of one of our terrace's hammocks.
So many Costa Rican rental homes can be difficult to find or are in unwelcoming gated communities. Chico our caretaker will be more than happy to show you around the house upon your arrival. Because we like to get to know our guests before their stay and since we speak regularly with Chico, he knows a little bit about our guests before their arrival. We think it's a much nicer reception after a long journey than arriving as an anonymous renter looking to pick up house keys. Our neighbors are very friendly and diverse and really enjoy meeting our guests.
