We really enjoyed our 3 nights stay at Campo Azul. My wife & I would definitely come again if we are back in the area. A bit hard to find in the dark, as flight / baggage problems caused us to arrive from Liberia later than expected. But Emanuel was very responsive, & with some back-and-forth messaging we got there & settled in. With all the great activities in the Santa Elena area, we were out & about each day. Campo Azul was a quiet, serene place to come back to, with all that we needed for a comfortable stay, great sleeps, and amazing views to enjoy. We appreciated the visit from Emanuel’s mother, her tour of the farm property, as well as the fresh fruit & home-made treats she provided. Her home-grown coffee is the best!

We absolutely loved our stay! On checking in we received an extremely warm welcome from Xinia and Gilbert who showed us how everything in the house worked and around the property. They even provided our kids with a frisbee and soccer ball to play with. Emanuel booked everything for us and he even rearranged one of our tours and asked if we needed help to find a doctor because our daughter had slept terribly due to an ear infection. Our kids also loved it here because they could finally have their own beds after having to share a bed for the last two weeks. We had a wonderful time and the highlights were the night tour, the beautiful property and our lovely hosts! Pura vida!

Beautiful house and scenery! Kind host and host's mother (who brought us home made empanadas). Emanuel checked on on us via WhatsApp and gave us recommendations. This is place is so beautiful and I would happily stay here again.

Great views! Peaceful! Very kind hosts.

Great location amd super clean. Perhaps the kitchen could be better equipped but this is Pura Vida style.

I wish we had booked a few more nights here, because two just wasn't enough. We were met by the owner's mother, who gave us a tour of the home and property. She shared from their garden and we enjoyed visiting with her. The house was clean, comfortable and accommodating.The mountain/canyon view was INCREDIBLE and we spotted and heard animals, most notably the toucan, all day and night. For anyone not used to it, the dogs barking at night can be disruptive to sleep, so bring earplugs. I think this is universally good advice, anywhere you go in Costa Rica. ;) We would happily stay here again!

Campo Azul is located on a ranch just outside of town with stunning views of the Nicoya Peninsula and gulf to the west and the mountains and cloud forest to the east. The property has a flower garden, vegetable garden, banana trees, lemon tree, and pomelo tree (among others). The bird life is spectacular! I annoyed my wife and daughter by excitedly pointing out the motmots, warblers, woodpeckers and toucan. There are two cabins. We stayed in the larger, with a bedroom (queen and bunk bed), bathroom (hot shower!), and open room with couch, dining table, wash basin, and full kitchen. The decorations are handmade and beautiful. The host was warm and kind, sharing lots of information and checking in on WhatsApp to see how our trip was going. Xinia was very friendly and greeted us at the property to show us around. Smiled the whole time😀 I would return in a heartbeat. My wife and daughter enjoyed the stay despite my bird enthusiasm! I highly recommend.

This place is an out-of-this-world, amazingly peaceful sanctuary. Tia is charming, and an amazing needlepoint artist. The house is adorned with her majestic artwork. The house is well appointed, and left us wanting for nothing. I highly recommend this beautiful and restful retreat.

We stayed at this property for three nights and loved it. It is very spacious and super clean. Staying on this family farm was amazing including the sunsets and views all the way to the bay. The kitchen is well appointed with everything you need to cook breakfast, etc. Being on a farm makes this location extremely quiet. We interacted with Emanuel’s mother who was so gracious and kind. I would not hesitate to stay here again. It is also close to Santa Elena and all the attractions. You take a dirt road to the farm but you did not need a 4-wheel automobile. We took our time and made it with absolute ease. Thank you, Emanuel Pura Vida!!!

The stay was like staying in paradise! It was gorgeous and peaceful, with wonderful fruit trees. The hosts were very welcoming and communicative! We loved the beautiful house, and all the homemade pictures were absolutely fabulous! We will be recommending and rebooking!

This property is even more spacious inside than it appears through pictures. Very cute inside, with everything you need. The property is beautiful with flowers and plants, and a gorgeous view. Emanuel and his parents were there to explain everything. Our only regret is we could not stay longer. Thank you again for hosting us!

host was very nice and she met us when we arrived to show us the property. it has beautiful views and is high up in a field on their land. chickens, garden, flowers, views. house was clean and had a nice breeze at night. i would like to warn others that if you gps from la fortuna like i did to be careful and not go on the 4x4 road only--my suv with balding tires rented from budget san jose airport ( do not reccomend budget after this experience) was sliding down this rocky incline road from standstill and was a very terrifying and dangerous experience), i dont recall signs warning us but later found out is was only for atv and 4x4--we survived in one piece as well as the car but do gps to santa maria and then on to the house from there to avoid my misadventure. maybe due to the stress of the day driving there is why i had nightmares and didnt sleep well b/c it is very quiet and peaceful here. do use the door latches b/c the breeze throughout the house will make the doors slam if you dont latch them to the wall. it really is very beautiful here and close to town surprisingly. we only stayed one night to do the bridges.

Had a little bit of a hard time making the final arrangements, but once it was sorted out it was well worth it. Loved it some much we stayed an extra day. If staying here you will need access to a vehicle, as the property is out of town and too far to walk. The hosts took us on a tour of the property hoping to see some wildlife. Kitchen is well equipped and the beds very comfortable. Would stay here if I return to the area.

Great
