My wife, my 2 kids and myself stayed in the main house for 3 weeks in april 2013. First thing we noticed when we got there was that there was no pool. When we booked the house, the owners were advertising it with a pool but we got there and it has been change to a « frog pool ».... More

It was my first trip to Costa Rica and I chose Puerto Viejo since I wanted to see the Caribbean side of the country. I was looking for a simple and quiet place far from the people made noises. And I found it in La Selvatica. I rented a cabin, but Jeff and Daniel were kind enough to upgrade me... More

We stayed here for 3 weeks in November, and found it to be a very relaxing location. It's a short walk from the main road, and still a walkable distance to the beach, eateries and little grocery store. The house is furnished with all the basics, and the sheets and towels are good quality. The kitchenware supplied is enough to... More

I stayed at La Selvatica with my husband and 2 kids (4 & 1 yrs old) for 3 weeks in April 2012. We thought the house was really cute and perfectly suited for our needs. The price for the rental was very reasonable. The owners of the property were very nice and responded to our emails promptly. It was very... More

Our family of 5 lived in the main house for 1 1/2 month. It was totally perfect. The house and surroundings were absolutely beautiful. The neighbors are very sweet, always smiling and saying hi and it's very quite. In the tree just in front of the house we saw toucans up really close and we also saw howler monkeys, hummingbirds...

Our family of five adults spent nine days at La Slevatica with mixed reviews. All five of us were experienced travellers. One spent three years traveling around the world. The location in Playa Chiquita for us was perfect. It is a quiet place except for howler monkeys. It is also just off the main road and somewhat isolated. This is... More

Thank you for your objective comments on the vacation rental and the location. Unfortunately, the circumstances about the stolen computer and camera described in the review do not match the ones offered to the caretaker upon reporting the incident. The guests reported that the items were left beside the window and not locked in the lock-box. During the pre-booking communication,... More

My girlfriend and I spent, seven days at La Selvatica in May of 2010, and it was a magical experience. Very relaxing location, everything that you need is either a short walk or bike ride away. The people are friendly and laid back. The food is excellent, and the accommodations are more than sufficient. La Selvatica is a destination, but... More

Everything about La Selvatica had a tone of excellence. The location in Playa Chiquita is quieter than Puerto Viejo (save for the abundance of howler monkeys and birds!), with the beach, a few good restaurants and two grocery stores in short walking distance. The local bar with pool tables was under renovation when we were there. The house itself was... More
