The villa and the setting were magical! Stephen and his dogs were a great hosts and we had everything we needed. This villa is secluded and away from everything, away from people and places, so it’s the perfect setting for a quiet and relaxing vacation. The bird watching was top notch!

Heaven on earth

Stephen and Nancy are amazing host with an amazing place and some amazing stories of their world travels . We stayed a mth and were welcomed the entire time. We loved waking up to bird songs and breakfast with the most friendly dogs you have ever met. We loved the area so much we ended up buying property from them!

The view of the mountains and the birds from the porch of the villa was wonderful. The kitchen, especially, was better equipped than that of any other lodging that we have encountered. And we want to give special mention to the owners, Steve and Nancy, who made us feel right at home.

Beautiful Oasis

Beautiful, lush oasis in the middle of a rainforest. Villa was quaint with magnificent views. The hosts were wonderful, friendly and very accommodating. We would return again just to sit and visit with Steve and Nancy on their veranda.

Great place to stay

We had a great stay at Paradise Peak. It’s a beautiful property. The hosts were wonderful and had great communication the whole time. We enjoyed the delicious apple bread! My only complaint is that it was warmer than I thought it would be at night and there is no air conditioning so we didn’t sleep well, even with the fans.

Hard to get to, easy to love.

Steve and Nancy are the sweetest host. Steve made us a delicious "Texas pastry". They have the best dogs. The whole house and grounds are heaven on earth. Only minus was having to depart so soon! We are already planning to stay longer next time!!

A Special Place

This property is truly one of a kind. There exist multitudes of lavish descriptions, what is most impressive is the genuine kindness of the host, Steve Riley and his wife Nancy . For myself and my wife this was truly the bonus of our visit . Waze is critical to finding your way from the town of Orosi .

Jungle Love

360 degree views, beautiful botanical gardens with walking paths, Private Villa with lots of privacy yet owners are close by and available to assist with anything. They are the best hosts ever and showed me around my first day, took me to the farmers market and baked me delicious goodies during my stay. Jacuzzi tub on porch during a storm is a must!

Paradise Peak

I would need more space and time to make this review complete. If you want just what the pictures show, and understand what Costa Ricans mean when they say to you "pura vida", I'm not sure what a better place, people (and perros😁) one could ever find. Pura vida!

Lush green and tranquil

We have stayed at Steve’s and Nancy’s for two weeks and experienced their hospitality, friendliness and such a warmth. Loved the place : super comfortable, very private yet close enough to know the host is there when you need them. Steve and his helper rescued us from a very daring car trouble for which we were so grateful. We enjoyed the tranquility and spectacular views, jacuzzi on the huge terrace was awesome. We will go back next year.

Perfection

The pictures do not do it justice. This is almost off the grid, and it was absolute perfection for us. We were able to completely relax with our kids and found ourselves at the end of the trip not ready to leave. Stephen and Nancy are amazing hosts (the welcome loaf of bread made a wonderful breakfast the next day!) The views and location are gorgeous. We would come back in a heartbeat!

Paradise Found

A beautiful villa set in an incredibly stunning location. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor patio and kitchen area very much and the king size bed was super comfy. I can't emphasize enough how beautiful this setting is. The hosts are very welcoming and were available to answer any questions and/or provide assistance during our stay. A close drive to a grocery store however you feel so far away from any city life here. The bird sights and sounds were pure magic. We would definitely stay here again!

Great getaway!

We loved the Paradis Peak villa! Steve and Nancy were wonderful hosts and gave several suggestions on activities available in their area. Loved our visits with the Rottie girls as well, they were a real treat. I would recommend contacting host for better directions than google maps. Roads can be a bit challenging. And did i mention the bird watching! Awesome!!!

Paradise

Our stay could not have been better. The property is stunning - we honestly could have never left and been content just sitting on the balcony. The view is amazing. Steve and Nancy, the hosts, are the kindest people who were helpful in every way. It is very obvious how much they love their property and Orosi Valley. One of the best trips we have ever made. We will be back. Would give more stars if we could!

Paradise Peak is indeed paradise

Terrific property and hosts. If you want to relax away from it all in a beautiful villa on a beautiful piece of property with a killer view of the mountains and valleys this is the place. My wife and I are typically on the go all day but we found ourselves looking forward to spending the mornings and evenings on the villa's balcony taking in the views of the valley, it's wildlife, and utter peacefulness. The hosts made sure we had everything we needed and more, including a trip around the key roads of the valley we'd need to drive on which proved extremely valuable. Can't wait to go back.

It doesn't get any better.......

We enjoyed everything about your place......the gorgeous garden, hospitality, wonderful beds, Maggie and Lola for starters! The view is out of this world and the Nancy's garden is breathtaking. The villa is beautifully decorated, immaculate, provides everything needed for a comfortable stay. Thanks for sharing your piece of paradise! And give Lola and Maggie a big hug for us!

Sublime

Our Christmas stay was wonderful. After lots of driving and staying in different places landing at Stephen and Nancys place was heavenly. I’m he dogs became our pals immediately and made our stay even more sweet. Orosi was wonderful. We went to the local church for Christmas mass and visited the Irazu volcano at 9 am which was the best time to go to avoid crowds. All and all our stay was great. Stephen surprised us with an apple strudel for our sons birthday which was incredibly delicious and so thoughtful.

You want this for the location and lovely hosts.

Set in the mountains, this is a wonderful spot to cool off and watch the birds and the weather flow through. The hosts are fabulously welcoming and hospitable and it was only a shame we did not plan to stay longer. The place is unique and rustic. This is not a place you worry about matching cooking pan lids or the hot water flow (all of which is perfectly liveable). Pay close attention to the navigation notes and avoid the Google Maps short route from Orosi. A super stay.

Paradise on earth!

A unique garden of more than a hundred species of heliconias nested in a former coffee plantation. Tons of birds and flowers to rejuvenate the senses! The owners have made a huge contribution for the environment and the biodiversity! We salute their hard work, it's really like a little botanical garden... Long life to Stephen and Nancy who bring more colourful lights to this world!

Amazing getaway

The property is beautiful and an absolute escape from daily stresses of the city. Steve and Nancy were so welcoming, answered all our questions and made sure the lights were on when we arrived "home" late..along with a fresh loaf of bread. We truly felt like the property was a little slice of heaven and wished we had more days to enjoy it. Only item of note, if you do not have a 4WD vehicle, the back entrance is not passable in the rain. Too steep for 2WD so plan accordingly.
