"A serene retreat close to Rio, Celeste, and national Park, even though there was a bit of language barrier. The front desk was kind and we figured it out. She even helped us book a night tour. The property grounds were beautiful. It felt like you were in the jungle. There is no AC, but there is fans in the room. The hammock outside the Villa was a nice touch and you had your own privacy. It’s not a huge room but cosy enough and clean and hot water, which is a huge plus . We seen a Pezzotti by...

Simply the best, incredible views, pool, breakfast and a friend in the area!

10/10 Excellent
"Patrick was helpful all along the way from when we booked the trip all the way to the end of it. He answered all our questions and was also very hands on with scheduling our activities according to what everyone in the group was interested in and grouping things together that were in the same area. He had important advice on which activities you’d need a break after or what order to do them in. The breakfast was amazing! And the smoothies! He was really good at suggesting local food places for the other meals. He was also able to arrange a driver and coordinate our pickup times. It’s nice that each room has its own bathroom and shower and each room has its own AC for different temperatures. I recommend bringing eye masks for early morning sunlight around 5 am - or you can get up early and see the beautiful sunrise and try to glimpse the volcano. The pool house is nice and has a hot tub which was perfect after adventuring all day. Cell phone service and WiFi work fine. They went out of their way to make sure everyone was doing ok and things were going smoothly. (Doesn’t pertain to the house, but do bring dramamine if you’re sensitive to curvy roads and I do recommend having him arrange a driver to kick back and enjoy vacation.)"
