Isla Violin holiday lettings

Amazing experience in a unique place. The house is amazing, we saw wales from the beach, quite and very peacefull stay surrounded hy natura. The soda near by is easy to reach and offers very good food. Reccomended for those wanting a real wild atmosphere!

Good location in drake bay. Wonderful helpful host , Mario helped us with all arrangements to getting to Drake bay, and all our excursions, couldn’t have been more helpful. We would recommend Coco Cafe for all meals. The accommodation was great it was set in a lovely garden , and in evening we were able sit out and watch the wildlife. We would definitely recommend the property.

We stayed here for 4 nights. We enjoyed every minute. We did a trip to Cano Island and were well looked after by guide Ceasar and Steve, lucky enough to see humpbacks and babies, lots of dolphins, a sea turtle and a beach alive with hermit crabs and some great snorkelling. We enjoyed the horse trip into the forest, attempted some fishing and kayaked in the mangroves in the rain, which was great. There is a bit of a hill to climb to get to the house but it is well worth it for the views and the spectacular stream of monkeys birds and butterfly's going by. Highly recommended if you love nature.

After hours and hours of searching hotels,bnbs and rentals within the Drake Bay area we decided on Casa Nirvanita. Thankfully we made the best choice of our whole trip! I was quite concerned about taking my 18 month old daughter and parents somewhere so 'remote', without any shops, restaurants or pretty much anything your used to in day to day life back home. Well I need not have worried as everyone fell completely in love with drake bay and Casa Nirvanita. We all agreed we have never felt so relaxed and at home in our surroundings. German and Clara were the perfect hosts, from providing valuable information before our visit to showing us some of the bay's 'hidden' treasures. It was lovely to have such interesting and engaging hosts yet be given enough privacy to feel like you owned the house. The wildlife around the house and gardens kept us interested all day and falling asleep with the waves crashing nearby really felt like heaven. German and Clara booked all our tours to Corcovado, whale watching and a night tour with a local biologist. Some of things we saw will never be forgotten. All in all, if you are considering Casa Nirvanita I suggest you book quickly. You certainly won't regret it. Thank you German and Clara for the best holiday we have ever had. Tom, Lucy & Lilija x

We loved our stay in Drake’s Bay - Debra’s home is very comfortable and has everything you need for a fantastic stay. The kitchen is very well equipped and the bedrooms have lots of storage room and the AC works very well in each room. We loved sitting outside with the fabulous view over the bay, especially at sunset. The house is perfectly located for day tours to Corcovado, only minutes walk to the boat pick up and drop off. Also there are many great restaurants nearby in walking distance, Kalaluna Bistro was one of our favourites! Jose was a great help and there for when we had any questions. The house was exceptionally clean and peaceful. Would recommend staying here for anyone looking to explore Drake’s Bay and Corcovado. Thank you Debra for everything!

We had a great few days at Finga Manclar. The staff looked after us very well. We went full board and we had excellent local food. We also did most of the trips with Luis which were great fun - tubing, fishing, mangrove tour, waterfall, horse riding. Rooms don't have A/C but the fans were good. Make sure you bring plenty of beers and mosquito spray for sitting out on the veranda chillaxing. All in all a great few days in this lodge The directions from the Sierpe ferry were very good- as long as you re-set your trip meter ! Also, note that we got to the ferry just after 12 and hit the lunch hour. So we had a nice snack at Restaurant Las Vegas in Sierpe whilst waiting

What a fantastic house and location to explore Drake Bay and the peninsula Osa. Stayed for 5 nights which was just perfect. Dana was very responsive and super helpful when we booked the place. Thank you so much for letting us stay at your place! We all loved it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️s of the week definitely go to Gaby from Martina’s place from across the road who is looking after the house and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. From organising our tours to dinner recommendations - Claudio’s Grill ! - she was always there for us. 🙏.

Spacious, comfortable, clean and well-equipped house in a large garden overlooking a tranquil river. Breakfast on the terrace watching the birds and butterflies go by was a daily joy. Friendly, efficient communication with owners and Rayna, the property manager, who organised an excellent wildlife guide for a day.
