Eco-Home At One with Nature - Totale privacy

Situato tra le montagne sopra Uvita, Costa Rica, una zona nota per la sua fauna selvatica, spiagge incontaminate e gente amichevole, si trova il "Refugio Madreselva". Questa eco-casa è un ampio rifugio con quattro camere da letto e quattro bagni che gode di una completa privacy circondato dalla foresta pluviale e da ampie vedute della costa del Pacifico, tra cui il Parco Nazionale Marino Ballena e la sua icona, la coda della balena. Le viste e le viste sbalorditive ti toglieranno il fiato. Madreselva è più di una casa - è un rifugio per la fauna selvatica, che comprende 25 acri di foresta e 2 insenature, e annidata all'interno della Riserva privata Oro Verde. Madreselva è l'ideale per gli amanti della natura, il birdwatching, il fotografo e tutti coloro che cercano pace e relax.

All'interno di Madreselva, noterai che abbiamo un occhio per i dettagli. La casa è stata progettata per essere un tutt'uno con la natura, ma offre tutte le comodità e il fascino che i nostri ospiti possono desiderare. L'open space sfrutta le brezze oceaniche, i grandi panorami e l'incredibile alba sulle montagne. La cucina gourmet è spaziosa, gode di elettrodomestici di fascia alta e ripiani in granito. C'è una sala TV con un grande schermo piatto, via cavo e lettore DVD. Le 4 camere da letto hanno materassi confortevoli e di alta qualità che ti lasceranno riposato e pronto per giorni di avventure. Riunisci il tuo gruppo per un pasto al grande tavolo di dodici persone che si affaccia sulla bella piscina (riscaldata), sulla valle e sull'oceano.

Fuori da Madreselva, sei circondato dalle meraviglie della natura. Siediti vicino alla piscina e osserva le nuvole che rotolano, le onde si infrangono sulla coda della balena, le scimmie giocano sulle cime degli alberi e gli uccelli volano sotto. Il palapa con il tetto di paglia (chiamato "rancho" in Costa Rica) è sospeso sulla valle e offre viste senza soluzione di continuità, ed è il luogo perfetto per godersi il caffè del mattino o un tramonto al tramonto sulla griglia del barbecue. Gli spazi esterni sono completi di amache e mobili comodi perfetti per fare un sonnellino o leggere quel libro che stavi morendo dalla voglia di finire.

Madreselva è la base di partenza perfetta da cui partire per numerose emozionanti escursioni. Puoi scegliere tra una dozzina di spiagge, surf, osservazione di balene e delfini, equitazione, birdwatching, rafting, kayak, zip zip, pesca e tour naturalistici guidati diurni e notturni. Vicino a noi puoi fare un'escursione a 3 magnifiche cascate attraverso la foresta primaria, nonché nuotare e giocare nel fiume locale. Puoi anche approfittare dei nostri percorsi per escursioni, birdwatching o scattare fotografie della nostra variegata fauna selvatica.

Il nostro staff è pronto a coccolarti e rendere la tua vacanza indimenticabile. Rosibel, la nostra governante, è disponibile dalle 7:00 alle 13:00 (dal lunedì al venerdì) per cucinare una deliziosa colazione a base di ingredienti locali. Farà anche una leggera pulizia che include riordinare, fare i letti e fare un carico di biancheria al giorno per il tuo gruppo. Tutto questo è incluso nel prezzo. Se desideri servizi aggiuntivi, come lavanderia extra, shopping, cucinare altri pasti o assistenza all'infanzia, ti preghiamo di comunicarcelo. Siamo felici di aiutare.

Uvita è a pochi minuti in auto e offre una vasta gamma di servizi tra cui supermercati, banche, una clinica, dentista, farmacia, veterinario e molto altro. Ci sono molti buoni ristoranti nella nostra zona, e Ojochal, la prossima città a sud, ha molti eccellenti ristoranti che ricevono recensioni positive. Se sei un golfista, il campo da golf a 18 buche di San Buenas è a soli 25 minuti di distanza.

Madreselva è una "casa verde": siamo orgogliosi di fare affidamento sull'energia solare per produrre energia e acqua calda. La casa è stata costruita secondo i più alti standard ecologici e le migliori pratiche nell'architettura tropicale. Il tetto è realizzato in plastica riciclata, le piastrelle della piscina sono in vetro riciclato e il legno in tutta la casa proviene da legno locale, certificato come raccolto sostenibile. Anche il tavolo della sala da pranzo è stato realizzato da un albero di legno duro che è caduto sulla proprietà decenni fa.

Speriamo che sceglierai Madreselva per la tua prossima vacanza, riunione di famiglia o ritiro yoga / meditazione. Le brezze miti, l'ambiente privato e l'ambiente lussureggiante della giungla ti lasceranno rilassato, rinfrescato e in attesa della tua prossima visita nel nostro bellissimo paese.

Importante: la nostra strada sterrata privata (1 miglio), sebbene in ottime condizioni, è ripida e quindi avrai bisogno di un'auto 4x4 per accedere alla nostra proprietà.

Configurazione della camera da letto:
- 1 camera matrimoniale con un letto matrimoniale, bagno privato e doccia esterna.
- 1 camera matrimoniale con letto king size, bagno completo e tv.
- 1 camera con un letto matrimoniale e un letto singolo, bagno completo attraverso la breezeway.
- 1 camera a castello con 2 letti matrimoniali sotto, 2 singole sopra che possono ospitare fino a sei persone. Ha anche un bagno privato.

Mountain Jungle Paradise

This home is exactly as described; private, scenic, and serene. You sit at the top of a mountain off the beaten path yet not too far from area attractions which are accessible. The scenery from the home is constantly changing and the views are endless. You can see the whales tale, past Playa Ventanas, down to the Corcovado area, and maybe Panama:) The views toward San Josecito are equally impressive. Around the property you will find well manicured grounds, fruit trees, animal spotting, and plenty of areas for relaxation. The home is well stocked and maintained. Carolina and Rume are top notch and fully available all times of day. They are wonderful people and we enjoyed our time with them. Carolina is excellent; proactively coordinates things in advance of arrival, manages excursions, had good contacts and recommendations, provided beneficial feedback, and was very nice to have around. The excursions Carolina organized were private family outings - she has good contacts and goes out of her way to schedule and organize itineraries. Rume tends more to the property but is present for dinners and we enjoyed him equally as much. Both were great to interact with. All meals Carolina and Rume prepared were great. As others have mentioned, the drive to the house is an adventure and part of the experience. You will need 4x4. Be sure to visit Santa Lucia Falls - excellent excursion and very nice family. Miss the howlers - mornings are magical. Stargazing is amazing too!

Rainforest Delight

Our family of 6 stayed at Madre Salva for 6 days during April vacation. To say that the experience was magnificent is an understatement. It is unreal. The house itself is thoughtfully designed and an ideal fit for our family. The communication and attentive service from Carolina and Rume were excellent. It was remote enough to feel "off the grid" but surrounded by activities and everything that you could need. We did plenty of walking, waterfall hiking, white-water rafting, and relaxing. Thank you so very much for this memorable experience.

A Very Special Place

My girlfriend and I recently spent a week at "Refugio Madreselva". All expectations were exceeded. It's an easy 3.5 hour drive from SJO. You really do need a 4x4 to get up the driveway, go slow and steady, not bad at all. The pool and subsequent views of the valley below were the highlight. House and property were well manicured / landscaped. Carolina greeted us with breakfast each morning - she and her husband (groundskeeper) are amazing. I mentioned to Carolina that it was my GF's birthday during the trip. The next day she stopped by with the best tres leches cake I have ever tasted. So thoughtful.I would highly recommend a 20 min drive to Ojachal for a few dinners - great food. We will be back - this is a special place!!!

Paradise at Madreselva

We had an amazing stay at Madreselva, definitely one of the best vacation experiences we’ve ever had. The home itself is beautiful, clean and the mountainside setting is spectacular, with incredible views over Uvita and the Whale’s Tail. To top it all off, Carolina was amazing, providing delicious breakfasts every morning, helping us arrange the best tours and sites to visit. She really made our stay truly memorable, as did all of the hardworking staff. We will definitely return again!

Nature and hospitality

Communication with Carolina, (the property host) was excellent before and during our stay. She helped to coordinate our staggered arrival to the property, arrange some of our adventures. We had some quirky issues with the property gates and security alarms when we arrived, but Carolina was attentive to getting everything straightened out with just a phone call. The house was situated in the middle of the forest, with the view of the ocean and surrounded by the sounds of nature. It was cloudy for much of our visit so some of the nights were interrupted by the sounds of the generator located outside of our beautiful bedroom window. But the memories of the howler monkeys, toucans and other tropical birds prevailed. We appreciated the delicious breakfasts prepared by Carolina as well as the dinner the night before our departure. Our bilingual children and grandchild enjoyed conversations with Carolina and Rume in Spanish, and were pleased with Carolina's clear English for the others. The beautiful infinity pool was the desired spot for the grandkids, and perfect for our 5 year old to perfect his newly acquired swimming strokes. The hammocks were in constant use for relaxing. The bedroom on the back of the house with the queen bed and one twin bed was “less than ideal” as there was no cross ventilation and didn’t have an en-suite bathroom. The grounds were beautifully maintained and we enjoyed everything the house had to offer. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Best vacation ever!!

Refugio Madreselva is what you envision when thinking of a Costa Rican vacation. This house is amazing. The view is breathtaking. The surrounding wildlife made this location truly one of a kind. However, what made it all come together was the property manager Carolina and of course her kind and sincere husband (not nephew ;) Rume. After a week with them, we felt like we were saying goodbye to family. Carolina was amazing with scheduling our excursions, transportation to and from the airport, and setting up our rental cars. By the way, when they say you need a 4x4 to access the property, you do need a 4x4. Traveling the road to the house was very much part of our adventures. The rental vehicles Carolina got us were perfect and we had no problems accessing the property, even when it was raining hard. Carolina's cooking is out of this world. Having breakfast prepared for us was so convenient and all of us could not wait to taste the next meal. Carolina and Rume made us some pretty amazing dinners with desserts. The layout of the house is awesome. There are 3 separate buildings of the house. This provided the group with privacy and a central meeting place. The infinity pool was so refreshing to dip in after a long hot day. This property gave us everything to make our first trip to Costa Rica memorable for years to come. Thank you to Carolina, Rume, and Tico for taking such good care of us! Sincerely, the Colorado and Oregon gangs

Paradise

My family and I stayed at Madreselva for 8 nights in July and had a wonderful time! The views were absolutely amazing and constantly changing as the weather changed. I probably have 8 versions of the same picture from the pool area...each stunning. The house was exactly as the pictures showed and perfect for our group of 8 ("kids" from 17-23 and three parents). The house was set up perfect for our needs with shared space for hanging at the pool, eating and playing games after dinner.....but also enough separation to allow the kids an escape to their rooms when needed. Carolina was so helpful from the time we first booked the trip, to planning our adventures, and helping us with everything in-between. We were supposed to land in Costa Rica at 1:20 p.m. and she had a driver waiting to pick us up and bring us to the house. However, after flight delays and rerouting, we didn't arrive until after 9:00 p.m. She was in constant communication with us to make sure we were ok and that our driver was ready whenever we were. When we finally made it to the house around 1:00 a.m. Carolina and her husband were waiting for us with the 4-wheel drive vehicles to bring us up the mountain! Was so appreciative for their patience and help after such a long and stressful day. Would recommend the house to anyone and hope to return some day!

An INCREDIBLE property/one of a kind views!

We were so excited to stay at this house. The pictures made it seem like the most incredible property and even as great as those pictures were, the actual views and property far exceeded our expectation. There are views from every spot in the house. The kids spent the entire time in the pool. Having 2 master suites was perfect for us and our friends to each have our own private space. The journey to the house made the trip even more epic. It felt like an adventure each time we drove up to the house. If you have the chance to have Carolina and her husband cook for you, definitely take it. The food was amazing. WE had the chicken and rice with homemade brownies and it was the best meal we had while visiting Costa Rica. My kids haven't stopped talking about it. Carolina was great to work with and very accommodating. If you're in the Uvita area, I can't recommend this place enough. We hope to plan a return trip soon.

Amazing vacation home

If you enjoy nature book this place , The house is stunning waking up every morning to the sounds of birds also sleeping at night with just the screens open so you can listen to all the wildlife at night . The house is landscaped so it attracts butterflies, hummingbirds and lots of other bird species . The view is unreal you can literally sit in the pool and birdwatch. The porch off to the side is also an excellent place to just sit and watch the jungle . The nature trails right on the property are a big bonus as well. I saved the best for last , Carolina and Rumenigg the property managers were a huge help with booking tours and organizing excursions,recommending restaurants etc. I had a flat tire which Rumenigg repaired for me and got me back up and running . The waterfall tour is really exceptional and just up the road .The only tour I did not have a good time was the one I booked by myself without Carolinas help. Her meals were amazing and she is just a pleasure to be around . Mucho Gracias Amigos Darrell and Nicholle

Amazing stay

We traveled to Costa Rica and stayed at Refugio Madreselva the last week in December. We were 2 families traveling together with kids ranging from 7-13. Everyone (adults and kids) both LOVED staying here. Carolina was so great with communicating prior to the stay and assisted w/ booking care rentals, airport transportation and excursions. She made us feel welcome and her and her husband prepared delicious breakfasts and dinners for us. The kids and adults loved just spending time at the house watching all the birds, admiring all the vegetation and most of all taking in the view of Whale Tail Beach. This is definitely on our list for a repeat trip. 5/5 recommend.

A Pura Vida Paradise

We had a family/friend group of 10, 6 adults and 4 teens. This house was absolutely perfect. The views, the gardens, the outdoor spaces, and the extra large, well stocked kitchen made our stay wonderful. Of course, the icing on the cake was Carolina and her husband, and the amazing meals they cooked when we wanted a break. Carolina's organization in advance of our trip was so helpful, she communicated with local tourguides and made sure we had a perfect itinerary, even when we needed to make changes and adjustments. Can not say enough good things. We loved waterfalls, scuba, snorkeling, fishing, zip lines, and everything about Costa Rica. Grocery stores are convenient, and well stocked. Definitely do not ignore the guidance about a good 4 wheel drive vehicle. The first time up the hill was a little scary but it got much easier after that. Pura Vida!

Special memories were made & dreams came true - Perfect stay for family of 8

This was one of our favorite trips yet - beautiful location, kind people, welcoming & stunning home. After researching hundreds of homes & having an age spread of 3.5 to 70+, we needed to find a place that would be accommodating for the entire family. We settled on Madreselva after reading so many positive reviews & speaking with people who highly recommended the Uvita area. The owner provided useful information about the home & the area. Carolina (house manager) was VERY helpful with the planning/booking of transportation & activities. We added on 2 dinners during our stay - the Arroz Con Pollo was SO good! The provided breakfast was a bonus, too. The home was always clean & straightened & they even provided fresh beach towels each day. Carolina made sure we could reach her anytime. Large kitchen is very well stocked. Bedrooms & bedding were quite comfortable (2 main bedrooms offer breathtaking views). Temps on the mountain were VERY comfortable! Our twin nieces spent most of their time in the pool. You do need TRUE 4-wheel drive - driveway is long & steep, but no scary drop-offs & you get used to it quickly. There are bugs - but nothing like I was expecting! A healthy coverage of sunscreen & Repel kept us bite free the entire trip. We are grateful to Claudia for making Madreselva available for others to utilize & appreciate. We made many special memories, & several dreams came true. Thank you to Carolina & her husband - we truly look forward to seeing you again soon!

Mi è piaciuto: Pulizia

Beautiful View!

Our group of 10 enjoyed the views from this beautiful home! There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and enjoy this slice of paradise. We enjoyed watching the sunrise and animal spotting on the property. The hammocks were occupied whenever we were home. The road up was not bad if you have 4- wheel drive and a confident driver. Prior to arrival Claudia sent a comprehensive Welcome letter and FAQs that provided lots of information on the house and things to do in the area. It was extremely helpful in planning our trip. Carolina was a master at coordinating our complex transportation needs, as we had people coming and departing from different areas on different days. It was great taking a shuttle to the house and then having our rental car delivered. We did the Santa Lucia waterfall hike. The waterfalls were incredible, and we had them all to ourselves! The hike itself can be rough in parts, as you walk across some slippery wet rocks and uneven, muddy trails. My mom couldn’t make the hike, so Carolina arranged a massage for her at the house while we were gone, she loved it! The boat trip to Cano Island was a highlight of our trip as the snorkeling was spectacular. We got lucky and had great visibility even during the rainy season. We also spotted a mama humpback whale and her baby along the way!
