About the host
Hosted by Daniela Hofbauer
I’m originally from Europe and have made Costa Rica my home. I love nature, animals, and long beach walks, and I truly enjoy creating places where guests can slow down and feel comfortable. Hosting for me is very personal — I like offering a calm, well-maintained environment where people can relax, work remotely, and feel at home while enjoying the tropical lifestyle.
Why they chose this property
I chose this location because it offers the perfect balance: peaceful and surrounded by nature, yet only a short walk to the beach, cafés, restaurants, yoga studios, and supermarkets. Sámara has a relaxed, friendly atmosphere and is known as part of the Blue Zone, where life moves a little slower and people value well-being and nature. It’s a place where you can truly unwind without needing a car.
