A proposito di questa villa struttura in affitto
Refugio Madreselva's views of the Pacific coast, surrounding mountains and rainforest will take your breath away. Enjoy the iconic view of the Marino Ballena Whale's Tail and coastline from the infinity pool, palapa, terraces, breezeways and the two master bedrooms. You will enjoy full privacy, as we are nestled in 24 acres of rainforest mountains, yet are only 15 minutes from wonderful beaches. Madreselva is ideal for the nature/beach lover, birdwatcher, photographer, and anyone looking for peace and relaxation. Babes in arms are most welcome, but our pool is not fenced, and all rooms open to the breezeways, thus it is not suitable for toddlers or young children who do not know how to swim.
If you read our reviews, what makes us different is that we have dedicated staff to pamper you, so you can enjoy your vacation free of chores, Included in your rental fee, on weekdays we serve you delicious breakfasts made from local ingredients. Our fee also includes light housekeeping - making beds, cleaning bathrooms and doing two loads of laundry per day for your group.
Also included in our price is Concierge Service to help you plan and organize your trip. If you wish, Carolina will help you arrange airport transportation, vehicle rentals, tour reservations, on-site massage and yoga classes. Finally, Carolina can prepare lunch and dinner for an additional fee. This is a great deal, as serving and clean-up is included for less than typical restaurant prices, and without having to leave the comfort of Madreselva. As you can see from our reviews, their cooking is highly praised by our guests.
Each morning you will awake to the call of howler monkeys as you are surrounded by the wonders of nature. Sit by the pool and watch the clouds roll by, waves crash onto the Whale’s Tail, and birds fly everywhere. The thatch roofed palapa (called 'rancho' in Costa Rica) hangs over the valley offering seamless views, and is a perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or a sunset cookout on the BBQ grill. The outdoor spaces are complete with hammocks and comfortable furniture perfect for napping or reading that book you have been dying to finish. In the evening the delightful fragrance of the Ylang-Ylang waft through the breezeways, and the stars on a clear night will remind you of life before city-light pollution.
The house was designed to be at one with nature, yet offer all the conveniences and charm our guests desire. The open-floor plan takes advantage of ocean breezes, big views and incredible sunrise over the mountains. At night, leave your windows open - the climate is perfect for sleeping at 66-70 degrees year-round, as we are 1,776 feet above sea level. We offer light cotton blankets in case you get cold. The HOUSE HAS NO STAIRS and is WHEELCHAIR FRIENDLY.
The gourmet kitchen is spacious with high-end appliances, and granite counter tops. There is a small TV room with a flat-screen. The 4 bedrooms have high quality, comfortable mattresses to leave you refreshed and ready for days of adventures. Enjoy the views from our terraces and gently heated pool.
You can also take advantage of our hiking trails for bird watching and photographing our diverse wildlife. A short walk in our forested trail will take you to a small waterfall, where you can sit to enjoy the sound of running water and nature. With little effort you are likely to see morpho butterflies, strawberry frogs, and on occasion howler and capuchin monkeys, coatimundis, as well as the occasional sloth, anteater and agouti.
Madreselva is the perfect base from which to launch many exciting excursions. You can choose among a dozen beaches, surfing, whale and dolphin watching, horse riding, birdwatching, water rafting, kayaking, zip lining, fishing, and day or night-guided nature tours. Near us you can hike to 3 magnificent waterfalls through primary forest, as well as swim and play in the local river.
Uvita is only minutes by car and offers a wide array of services including lovely restaurants, supermarkets, banks, a health clinic, dentist, pharmacy, and much more. If you are a golfer, the San Buenas 18 holes golf course is only 25 minutes away.
Madreselva is a 'green home' - we are proud that we rely on solar energy for power and hot water. The home was built to the highest ecological standards and best practices in tropical architecture. The roof is made from recycled plastic, the pool tiles are recycled glass, and the wood throughout the house comes from local wood, certified as being sustainably harvested. Even the dining room table was crafted from a hardwood tree that fell on the property decades ago.
We hope you will choose Madreselva for your next vacation, family get-together, small wedding, or yoga/meditation retreat. The balmy breezes, private setting, and lush jungle surroundings will leave you relaxed, refreshed and looking forward to your next visit to our beautiful country.
IMPORTANT: Our private gravel road (1 mile), while in excellent condition, is steep and thus you will need a 4x4 car to access our property.

Our stay at MadreSelva was amazing. We were a bit nervous about having Carolina and Rume around the house during the week but they took care of the house and grounds beautifully and discreetly. We hardly knew the were there and yet took care of our breakfast and did light housekeeping and laundry during the week. It made our trip that much more pleasurable.All the previous homes we've stayed in provided A/C in the bedrooms of which we were hoping for; however, the two front bedrooms definitely did not need A/C. The back bedrooms didn't get the same air flow but there were portable fans in the rooms to help keep the air flowing.Overall, I would give this home a 5-star rating. There was plenty of space for our party of 10 people so we could spread out. The kitchen was large and well stocked. The bedrooms had comfortable beds (I would suggest replacing some or all of the pillows as they were quite flat), and overall comfortable living areas indoors and outdoors. The view was incredible and the house is quite secluded which is a huge plus! We would definitely stay at this home again!

This place is amazing, the views are spectacular and Carolina and Rume are 2 of the sweetest people you will ever meet. They bend over backwards to make sure you’re comfortable. I strongly suggest hiring Rume to drive you around for your stay. He’s cautious, knows exactly where to go and will quickly become one of your best friends. The breakfasts are excellent and the fruit has to be along the freshest on earth. I was nervous at the lack of HVAC, but that went away after the first night. Since the property is in the hills the temperature is perfect all day long! Can’t imagine a visit to this beautiful country and not staying at this property!

Madreselva was magical, it is even more beautiful in person. The views were spectacular! The house was clean, well stocked with everything we needed and had beautiful flower arrangements from the grounds throughout the house. We woke up to the sounds of howler monkeys every morning, ate meals on the palapa, swam in the pool every afternoon and were in awe of all of the animals and birds we saw on the property. We had frequent visits from a coatimundi daily. We saw many species of birds, lizards, agoutis and morpho butterflies everyday. The property manager Carolina is amazing! She made the most delicious breakfasts for us, did laundry and tidied up after us each day. She arranged transportation and excursions and gave excellent suggestions for local attractions. I highly recommend Madreselva, it is a little slice of heaven.

It was our second stay at the villa. Again, our experience was amazing in every way. Simply said: This place is for us the best definition of paradise. Also, the people taking care of the guests are pure gems. Thanks again for giving us the opportunity to have such a wonderful stay at your property!
