Cottages in Samen

This place is magical. Unbelievable property with easy walking access to the turquoise waters of Rio Celeste. Hiking trails, resident sloth, great breakfast. Hostess couldn't have been more welcoming and kind. Very private b&b, tranquilo setting surrounded by cattle, horses, and very friendly dogs. House would be fabulous as a party house for family and friends: sleeps 7 with outfitted outdoor kitchen/party area.

The property owners were very nice and accommodating. Beautiful garden

Comfy bed, well equipped kitchen, great wifi, TV with multiple streaming platforms (it was raining quite hard so we binged Netflix for a few hours:). Very kind hosts. Jacuzzi on back patio was perfect.

A lot of birds around Amazing to have a full kitchen

Communication prior to arrival was excellent. There are two markets and a gas station very close by for all your basic needs. Also there was a great bar and restaurant called moyas and a german bakery that was fantastic. House had just enough things to be able to cook for our family of 7. It's about a 45-60 min drive to arenal national park and la fortuna. Showers were hot and house had all our basic needs.

Well, what can we say? This is an amazing place to stay in the Bijagua area! We arrived and we were greeted by Elliette who gave us some freshly made cookies and a delightful drink. She then showed us to our cabin which was fantastic, with a deck that looks out onto the gardens and jungle. Immediately in front of the deck was a feeder with bananas that was attracting a whole host of beautiful birds, including Toucans, Oropendula ( two varieties), Aracaris, Tanagers, Honeycreepers, and even a Long-tailed Manakin (new lifer for us!). If you are a keen birder this is the place for you to sit and enjoy a coffee and the birds. The cabin itself is perfect, the bed is very comforable, the shower was hot, the kitchen is well stocked. The breakfast is delivered to your cabin in the evening, and you can prepare the eggs in the morning when you need to, so that if you have an early tour you are all set. The breakfast by the way is fantastic,with eggs,fruit,yogurt,pinto de gallo,salsa with avacado, fresh home made bread,butter and home made jelly!! We couldn't eat it all for breakfast and had some leftovers for lunch. Also, the eggs are the best we have had, and the water from the tap is tastey and drinkable. Elliette is just the most delightful host, and extremely knowledgeable with many recommendations for people to connect with and things to do in the area. She and her partner Mark make you feel as if you are staying at home, but in paradise! We think you get the idea that we just loved this place and the people who call it their home. We consider that we have made good friends in the short space of our four night stay. If you get the chance to stay here, just do it!

Great place. Good value for money
