This gracious home was completed in 2008, it is very comfortable and boasts all facilities and amenities.

It is situated in the middle of a 1.1 acre (5000 square meter) lot. There are wonderful views of the mountains surrounding El Valle and the Anton River flows through a wooded area along the entire back of the property.

The house combines traditional Panamanian design with contemporary comforts and functionality. Very ample Master Bed. has walk-in closet and bathroom with Jacuzzi. Guest bedroom with private bath and shower, closet, queen size bed and two bunk beds for children.

Spacious open kitchen. The ample green garden provides the opportunity for morning strolls around the grounds. Many birds visit the garden each day and ducks and geese often can be seen swimming in the river.

Evenings can be enjoyed at the hilt by the Barbecue in its lovely terrace. The house contains 202 square meters (2,100 square feet) and the covered terrace adds an additional 50 square meters (538 square feet) to the living area.

Other attractions in El Valle include the bird watching everywhere (starting on the terrace of the house!), Hot Springs where you can take a healing mud bath, Canopy Lodge and the Chorro Macho waterfall, the Painted Rock (Piedra Pintada) and many nurseries that sell local plants.

The property manager, Park Eden B&B, can assist you in setting up particular trips, including special bird watching treks. Bicycles are for rental at Park Eden and also near the market in the center of town.

We are located in Capirita, when you arrived to El Valle is the first street to the right, pass the Crater Valley Resort and turn left at the Pepsi Sign for the Kiosko Oasis.

The Pacific Ocean and beaches, resorts, and other ocean fun along the PanAmerican Highway are only 30 minutes away by car.

Coronado has a variety of stores and services (as well as an excellent barbeque restaurant) and San Carlos, Santa Clara, and the Royal Decameron Resort at Farallon are nearby as well.

Local buses run to Panama City, and other local destinations like Santa Clara on a regular basis throughout the day (leaving from the Delta Station in the middle of El Valle).

El Valle itself is about a two hour drive or bus ride from Panama City along the Panamerican highway.

  • One of our best vacation homes ever! My husband and I spent three months in Panama, and we encountered many sub-par rentals that were nothing like their descriptions. This new, custom built, lovely home was the exception, with quality materials used throughout the home. The rooms are huge and inviting, the terrace is ideal for sitting outside, and the creek out back was where I spent many hours, just watching geese, ducks, "Jesus" amphibians, and, of course, the water. The gourmet kitchen is ideal for the serious cook, with excellent quality dishes, utensils, pans, and small appliances. Everything we wanted or needed was there. The market sells fresh fruit and vegetables, and we "ate in" most of the time. In the master bedroom suite our bed was divine, the bathroom spacious, with a huge window looking out into the back yard. In fact, huge windows were in every room, and because of the mild weather, we never used the AC; we just opened the windows and let the breeze fill the house with fresh air. The landscaping is as beautiful as any park, and just walking around the grounds and observing all the trees, shrubs, and plants was a pleasant experience. The neighbor's chickens paid us a daily visit, as did many birds. The property is fenced and gated, but we enjoyed seeing the Panamanian neighbors going about their daily lives, and we were never fearful during our entire stay in El Valle. Because this home and its furnishings are of the highest quality throughout, I would not recommend it for the vacationer who simply wants to "take it easy, put their feet up, and relax" and not worry about leaving a stain on the table, or banging into the walls with luggage, or washing and storing the kitchen knives properly, etc. It would not be a good home to "kick back" in. But for the descerning guest who is happy to treat this home as they would their own, you will never find one better than this! We had to check out earlier than we wanted because the owner was arriving, so we had the good fortune to meet him and hear about his experiences building a house in Panama!
