The view, magnificent. Breathtaking at night. Sandra and Klaas are perfect hosts, absolutely the best. This was our first trip to Costa Rica and, of course, Jewel Villa.

Wonderful property. Highly recommended. My husband and I stayed with our two adult daughters for a week. The house was spacious, comfortable and beautiful inside and out. Being this high up meant a lovely breeze all the time to offset the heat and made sitting outside even more enjoyable. Hosts Klaas and Sandra were excellent in answering any questions and helped us find some great tours/chef/car rental/restaurants etc. The area is also very safe. Ubers were available to go to town for dinner etc if you don't feel like driving. We would gladly come back here again.

Beautiful home

We had an amazing week in Costa Rica. The property is on a mountain side which results in a temperature about 3 or 4 Celsius cooler than in town . There is also a light breeze that helps keep the temperature comfortable. All 3 bedrooms were lovely and spacious and each had their own ensuite. We absolutely loved it!
