About the host
Hosted by Eugenio Gobbato
The son of Italian immigrants, born in Guatemala city and moved to the Rio Dulce over 30 years ago during midlife crisis.. have survied and flourished here in the very humid tropical forest since then. I own a small eco hotel on the shore of the Rio Dulce and also a small rubber plantation on the hills behind. Spend my days lookig after the forest, the rubber trees and of late some cows and a cacao platation on another property.
Enjoy very much what I do and staying in touch with nature and the elements.

Why they chose this property
Well it´s a long and convoluted story.. but as a young boy I always enjoyed trees and my friends farms with their horses and cows and so on.. however my family was mostly dedicated to commerce and light industry.. however I did not wanto to do that.. At age 39 I was able to sell my assets in the city. While vacationiing here I ran into an old friend that had property here on the Rio and chatting one thing led to another, I told him I was on an extended vacation but looking for some land to settle in he said he would sell me of his property.. the next day we walked to the top of the hill and when I saw the view I thought this is it. So I´ve been here since.. more property has been added, hotels and homes built, walkways and hanging bridges, and a few years ago this cottage. My daughters grandkinds and son stay there when they visit. Why? well I have nothing else to do.
However I must say that the main reason for me being here is that I still enjoy enormously the forest and trees, the chatter of the parrots in the late afternoon the moonrises and sunsets over the jusgle and that is why I kept a good size chunk of forest as a natures reserve with trails and everything.. the Hotel is an excuse for a good cup of coffee and some social life if ever I feel the need.. Often we are visited from friends and relatives and the palce has become iconic of the Rio Dulce area as the first real ecolodge..

What makes this property unique
Relaxed, ecofriendly, far enough from the noise yet only a few minutes aways form most needs, unique construction, very private modestly priced.
