Jody and Brian have picked a fabulous setting for this amazing retreat centre. The Mountains are beautiful, all the fruit trees and nice smelling bushes, birds, butterflies and the jungle sounds bring about a sense of calm and connection. The accommodation is really cozy and tastefully done keeping with the tone of the surroundings. I loved my room and outdoor... More

I really loved Finca de Vida. The hardest part about traveling for me is having healthy food available and being able to relax while I am there. This place tackles both of these problems. The food was healthy and available when I wanted it and the atmosphere allowed me to slow down and take a mental break. Brian and Jody... More

You may first think it is all about the food, which is wonderful and fresh and prepared masterfully, but it's not. You may then think it's about the yoga, adventure hiking and tours, which are peaceful, beautiful, and exciting, but it's not. Finca De Vida is a home that is opened up to you to rest your heart and soul.... More

Finca de Vida is a hidden paradise. For anyone looking to get away, relax, and focus on yourself and your well-being, this is the place. The owners make you feel right at home, so much so that they feel like your family away from family. Spending time here will change your life. It changed mine. Do yourself a favor and... More

When I arrived in Costa Rica I took a taxi to Margarita's B&B (about 10 min. from airport). $35 for the night which included dinner and breakfast the next... More
