Staying at Casa Selvatica in Ballena, Costa Rica was a truly unforgettable experience. From waking up to the lively calls of monkeys, parrots, toucans, and frogs, to enjoying daily interactions with the abundant wildlife, every moment felt like a magical adventure. The serene and surroundings of the area provided a peaceful and quiet escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The house itself was a beautiful oasis, boasting a range of amenities and offering a cozy and comfortable retreat. Whether lounging on the veranda with a view of the ocean, or unwinding in the hammock surrounded by the sounds of nature, Casa Selvatica provided the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. My stay at Casa Selvatica was truly fun, and I cannot recommend this hidden gem enough for anyone seeking a unique and unforgettable getaway in Costa Rica.

This past September, I had the opportunity to spend over a week at Casa Salvàtica. Although it was in the middle of rain season, my experience was magical. Jungle life at its best in the comfort of a fully renovated accommodation that met all my needs. A magnificent view of the ocean down below, howling monkeys and white-faced capuchin, regular visitors that entertained us with their "concert" and antics; butterflies of all sizes, shapes and bright colors feasting on flowers near the house, especially the Blue Morpho butterfly lazily flip-flopping around the deck at breakfast time, a real treat! Also as an avid bird-watcher, I was not disappointed when the toucans and other exotic species showed up. Peace and beauty, total immersion with nature… Can’t wait to return… pura Vida 💞 Lise M.: Guest

We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Selvatica! The house and property are so beautiful and peaceful.Some ofmy favorite moments of our trip were spent enjoying coffee on the deck while watching monkeys play in thetrees and observing so many species of birds. Eric and his team were very responsive and available to answerany questions right away. The road into the property definitely requires a 4x4 and even better if you can get a vehicle with good clearance.We arrived at night and were still able to find it with the clear and detailed directions provided.The location is perfect for day-trip excursions.We really hope to return again to this little paradise.Bahia

I cannot say enough about what an incredible experience this was.When we arrived the house literally took our breath away.The nature that surrounded this place was breathtaking.There were even monkeys playing in the trees over the balcony the first night we arrived.The home was spotless with really nice decor. lt was an experience in and of itself to stay in this beautiful home with an ocean view,(bring binoculars).We loved it so much we didn't want to leave so we chose to make dinner one night and not go into town.The kitchen has wonderful cookware and utensils. Also started making breakfast every morning.The host are incredibly nice and helpful. l just can't recommend this place enough.You will not be disappointed!
