About the host
Hosted by STEPHEN SALETTA
The villa was originally built as a jungle guest house by my uncle. We have enlarged the hiking trail network and gardens and converted the property to a vacation rental. I still have full time work in Florida as an ER physician but enjoy as much time off as I can get in the mountains of Costa Rica.
Why they chose this property
Our location is key - a secluded tropical mountain setting yet close to the ocean and town. The area is secure and access is easy with 4x4. In addition, the temperature is moderate here at the higher altitude and the variety of wildlife is amazing. Not to mention the amazing sunsets!
What makes this property unique
Our unique bit of luxury in the mountains provides a tranquil escape from the humidity at the beach in a secluded and unmatched jungle setting. Adventurous guests can explore the property and surrounding tropical forest and head to the waterfalls. We are a bird watcher's paradise and an entomologist's dream. Given the lack of development in our area and square miles of untouched landscapes around us, wildlife sightings can be found everywhere. Only from here at the Villa can one can hike to multiple amazing waterfalls and swimming holes right from the property. There are at least eight we know of - although trekking upstream to find The Emerald City is only possible in the dry season, as is the big pool in the jungle. The pictured waterfalls are all within hiking distance and the tours to Nauyaca and EcoChontales are just 20 minutes away.
