An incredible oasis of peace in the middle of the jungle. I highly recommend this place for those who want to enjoy nature and have comfort. The meals are Italians (country of origin of the hosts) and prepared with love! You will also enjoy the company of their pets, very cute :)

Beautiful place with exceptional hosts. Vanessa was extremely helpful for any questions or needs that we had for the area and tried her best to give advice or accommodate, such as offering to pick us up from the main road when we we were coming back from a tour later at night. They also serve fresh and delicious breakfast and have a nice Italian menu for dinner that you can reserve for in advance. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay and highly recommend this place!

We were staying in a nearby eco resort and came here for dinner one night. Vanessa and her family were very accommodating and we had an excellent meal and conversation. Make sure to reserve in advance if you are not staying on the premises. They are happy to accommodate outside guests for dinner.

Very beautiful and secluded place. All of the people are most friendly, the food is exemplary, and the whole area is pittoresque. Vanessa always has an open ear for questions about activities. We felt very welcome here and were sad to leave.
