What our guests are saying
“
Our stay here was perfect! The location is amazing, as it's walking distance to restaurants, stores, and multiple beaches. Even though it's right in town, the house is quiet and peaceful. We even had the wonderful experience of seeing a sloth right in the front yard! Would definitely stay here again!

This Airbnb was an amazing place to stay! Super easy to get to, a convenient parking spot off the main road, and right above a great food spot! You're even given a coupon to use there for your entire stay!

We had a great stay! There were lots of restaurants and shops nearby, the beach was like a 5 minute walk and our host was very responsive and helped with everything we needed. Both rooms had AC which was heaven sent after a long day of heat and humidity. I would definitely stay here again!

We had an amazing time in this beautiful house! Everything was neat and clean, and we enjoyed the spacious outside area. Plus it's really close to the beautiful Playa Chiquita! We can only recommend staying here :) The hosts were super friendly and responsive! We couldn't have imagined a nicer stay.

We felt right at home. Tommaso was very welcoming and helpful during our stay. We arrived a little early but the place was already ready and he was very accommodating! There were food spots right down the street, everything was extremely walkable or a short car ride away. Several beaches are nearby as well.

We had a wonderful stay! Everything we needed was available, and the many plants provided great privacy. The nature experience was especially impressive: we heard howler monkeys in the morning and even saw an agouti in the garden one evening. It truly felt like being in the middle of nature. The house was also very clean. Highly recommended!

This was a last minute trip and everything worked out perfectly. The most relaxing place I've visited since 2016. Beach within walking distance, family owned restaurants just a few minutes away. No need to leave — the wildlife will soothe you from one of two porches from dawn to dusk. Clean bathrooms, cutlery, pots and pans. Fans were one of the best amenities. Will stay again soon.

STOP scrolling, and BOOK this place. We stay at Airbnbs all over when traveling. This is a great, clean, and super great place! Close to everything, easy access, you can walk, safe to stay if you're a single woman traveling, just great! We come to Costa Rica often, and will book again.

Great experience with Kalawala and Tommaso. It's the second time I've stayed with them and it has been a great experience all around. That is why I have chosen him for my second visit to Puerto Viejo. Thank you for the great experience, and looking forward to visiting again soon.

What a cute little bungalow! Quiet, private, clean, safely located, and so beautifully decorated! We loved staying here for one night and wished we spent more time here. We also really appreciated the curtains as they allowed us to sleep in a bit. Would love to stay again!

A great place to stay in Puerto Viejo. This casita was clean, peaceful and had so many comforts. Being able to walk to the beach everyday was a real positive, but so many great things were also a short drive away. Would recommend.

Tommaso's home in Puerto Viejo was beautiful. Easily one of my favorite Airbnbs I've ever stayed in. Also, want to highlight how WONDERFUL his check-in instructions were — they made finding the place a breeze. The location was private and very quiet. I would highly recommend his place, and hope to visit and stay here again!

This place is even better than described. It's very easy to find and check in, and it feels cozy from the very first moment. The air conditioning is a lifesaver in the beach heat. The bed is comfortable and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything we needed. Playa Chiquita is only a 5-minute walk away. Thank you, Luciano and Tomasso, for making our stay a dream!
