The grounds are landscaped and very relaxing. It has a river that wraps around it and at a point runs through it. With its flora and fauna, it is a great place to take walks and explore. Since it is a little higher than town it is cooler at night and very pleasant in the day. Area has some of the best birding around! Wild pheasants,toucans, falcons and many more roost on the property. Gorgeous Blue Morpho butterflies along with various other species can be seen daily. This is a great place for environmentalist and birders looking for rare find or just enjoy nature. Don't pay the big bucks to go birding or insect hunting when the excursions are done right by this property and you can do it for free as many times as you like.

As you come into El Valle there will be a grocery store called Centro Comercial de El Valle on your right side. Immediately following a small bridge you will take a right. That road should be called El Hato. You will find a place called Bartilitos on your left side ( it is a construction/materials type place) take your immediate left after that. Gisela and Carlos Greco's house will be on your left. It is a light orange house with an aqua green roof, it will be the first house on your left. For direct reservations or short notice we can only accept cash.

If you want to go less expensive but good (Tierra y Mar) is a nice spot. Don't forget the fresh market or local arts and crafts center at the center of town that is open daily, extra venders come on the weekend.

Why the Owner Chose El Valle de Anton (Crater Valley)
Beautiful location with incredible views and we wanted to preserve areas natural beauty.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Awsome place to relax and be as loud or quiet as we like since there is quite a bit of property. Great place to hike and see so many birds, plants and enjoy nature. Dry season brings on so many fruits, plants and flowers to fascinate those who appreciate the rainforest.
After San Carlos you will be taking a right, coming from Panama City. Las Uvas will be your first town.
Follow the signs to Altos de Maria to street (calle) La Amapola (past the square trees) House is on left before you hit very steep road to town of Mata ahogado

Hi Valeri, We had a great time in El Valle. Gisela and Carlos are very nice. Next time we'll probably opt for a place a little warmer, but we will certainly keep your email for a possible re-visit. We took some pictures but the ones you have on the website are better. We are attaching one of the hillside. All the pictures don't quite capture the full beauty of the site and the pleasantness of the house. Thanks again. Rod & Marie

Hi Valerie, Just a quick note to let you know that we are back in PC. Had just a wonderful time at your beautiful ""casa" and in and around the town of El Valle. Carlos and Gisela were wonderful and we both enjoed getting to know them at least on a perfunctory basis. I put 38 miles on the truck, late lunches and trip to zoo. Thank you so much for the use of it, it was great. I walked soooo much through the woods and down into the beautiful area near where Carlos lives. Met a lot of folks, even met someone, didn't get their names, who knows you and I think your brother or close relative. Anyway, they knew the house. I saw a sloth way up in a tree who stayed around for a couple of days, could almost see it from the porch. Anyway, thanks for the use of the truck and the cell phone. Didn't even make a call. We loved your place and felt so at home their. Talk with ya later, paul david and wanda

This was a lovely family destination to stay at. Our son is involved in a bird project so the whole family spent lots of time hiking the property (adjacent to the river) and environs to photograph birds! (I have a new respect for bird photographers!!!!). It was lovely. Here are a few tips that we'd wish we had known: * The caretakers are lovely but do not speak English (brush up on your spanish) * You need a car as it's quite a distance from the main town area; preferably a higher clearance vehicle (we had a mid-sized family sedan which bottomed out quite a bit on the road into the property) * El Valle was very wet while we were there - in dry season! Take rain gear, especially shoes * Toilet paper and soap are provided but nothing else. Fortunately we had supplies from our Panama City VRBO so we didn't need to buy too much at the Chinese Supermarkets (a very underwhelming experience) * Other: We did not get a cell (as mentioned) but we didn't need it. There is currently no ability to get internet (again, not a problem for us) Overall, a wonderful experience and one we're pleased we did. Thank You!
Owner response:Thanks for commenting. This year rainy season lasted way longer than usual. Sorry about phone usually people ask or Jisela asks, it was an over sight, phone is definitely available. Distance by car is about 5 to 7 minutes, we have walked to center of town on many occasions and it is about a 45 minute walk. Last folks stayed 2 weeks without a car. We can make arrangements for in town travel or you can learn the mini bus system and travel that way, of coarse your own vehicle is best. A car can be used but you are right lower to the ground cars are not recommended. In the future I will make sure extra items that come with rental are there. The Chinese markets are cool that is part of the Latin American experience. LOL.

We live in Panama City. Valeri's cottage in El Valle is the only place we will stay when we go to El Valle. We arrive and instantly are able to relax! The secluded location, lovely grounds, river and trail below, covered patio with chairs, and helpful caretakers make it always the perfect weekend away. The kitchen is stocked with everything needed - pots, pans, coffee maker, utensils. The location is perfect - secluded with views of surrounding hills yet close to town, markets, restaurants. We have two young children who swim in the river below each time we visit! THANK YOU!

Valeri, Thank you very much for allowing us to stay at your house in El Valle de Anton. We very much enjoyed our time there. Your house and gardens are absolutely beautiful. It was so nice to be alone with the natural surroundings. It was a shame we were only there for one night. The two gentleman working in the garden were also very nice. One of them picked a whole bag of fresh oranges for us. Again, thank you very much and I hope to be back soon! -Erich

The house is very nice, simple, and clean. The surrounding grounds are spectacular. There are fruit trees in every direction and a beautiful little stream running at the bottom of the hill behind the house. Sitting outside and looking at the steep, lush mountains was a great way to spend time. I can't wait to come back.

Hi Valerie, I wanted to thank you for letting us rent your beautiful Piece of Paradise. We really enjoyed it very much, the beautiful nature, the birds and also the very kind caretakers. The hike together with Carlos was fantastic. Thanks again and we will definitely spread around this location as a wonderful place. With kind regards, Marcel Foederer Stayed at Piece of Paradise 7/25/09 to 8/5/09
