Un petit paradis dans la forêt tropicale Costa-Rica

Je n'ai que de bons mots pour décrire le Rancho El Rio! La place est situé a l'extérieur des centres touristiques mais en plein coeur de la forêt tropicale. Nous cherchions un endroit ou nous détendre et profiter de la nature et c'est exactement ce que nous avons trouvé. Un ranch, avec les animaux d'ici, des Ticos avec un énorme sourire et des propriétaires aux petits soins avec leurs invités. Au levé du jour, c'est le coq qui nous réveillait accompagné des oiseaux et des bruits de la forêt. Pour le déjeuner, nous allions nous même chercher les oeufs frais (directement dans l'enclos) et nous ramassions nos oranges pour nous faire un exquis jus réveil matin! Aucune auto, aucun camion, aucun klaxon, seulement le bruit de la rivière, la faune et la flore. Étant plus près des hautes montagnes que de l'océan, les journées sont chaudes et les nuits fraîches. Il n'y a aucun air climatisé sur place mais nous ne l'aurions pas démarré de toute façon, la température y est très clémente. Les hôtes sont des gens très impliqués dans la communauté, qui désirent aider les Ticos a gérer de manière plus responsable et plus proactive leur environnement et leur avenir. Ils sont les créateurs et les responsables de plusieurs formations et actions environnementales entrepris dans la région de Guacimal et Monteverde. Alors si vous cherchez des activités qui sortent de l'ordinaire, vous n'avez qu'a leur demander, ils sont pleins de ressources. A faire a moins d'une heure d'auto: Zipline, canopy tour, équitation, découvertes culinaires, exploration de la faune et la flore (de nuit comme de jour), baignade en rivière, descente en rappel dans des chutes, hors-piste en 4x4, visite des installations des Quakers (fromagerie, champs de café, culture maraichère,etc), siroter un rafraîchissement avec une vue d'une grande beauté, manger dans des restaurants et découvrir la richesse locale, etc. Dernier petit point, nous étions une famille de 3, nous sommes restés 6 nuits et l'endroit aurait pu facilement héberger 7 personnes avec assez de place pour tout le monde, en plus on a manqué de temps pour faire tout ce qu'on souhaitait faire. C'est assurément le coup de coeur de notre voyage de 3 semaines. On souhaite même y retourner lors de notre prochain périple en sol Costaricain.

Check-in was smooth and simple. The property manager, Stuart is extremely helpful, sincere, and communicative. The property is exactly as listed, and more. Access to the entire farm is welcomed and encouraged. The highlights for our stay included: the owner/campesino's warm hospitality, eco-friendly focus, full Kitchen and amenities, access to the River, large open balcony, serene environment, bespoke natural furniture and décor throughout the Property, and several activities offered on-site as well as nearby. Beautiful environment coupled with excellent hosts. Love it!

Cultural Experience

I struggle to write this review, but feel it’s important to be honest so you can decide if it’s right for you. Alexander was kind and accommodating. He was easy to communicate with, gave us information about his farm and coordinated meals for us. I highly suggest that you coordinate with him to have meals delivered. The property is extremely rural and there is not much around. A local woman prepared our meals and everything was delicious and delivered hot at the time we requested. We had breakfast and dinner delivered during our stay. Meals were traditional foods and I felt as if a family member were preparing them for us (part of the cultural experience I mentioned). The house and property are not for the faint of heart. It is a working farm. There are dogs running around. Animal poo (horses, ducks, cows) on the ground. Bats hanging from the eaves. There is no air conditioning. For me and my family this was the most significant cultural experience during our trip to Costa Rica. It gave us a glimpse of every day life away from touristy areas and I found it valuable, but this is not glamping. If you struggle with bugs and other “critters”, you should think twice about staying here. If you want to experience “real” Costa Rica and support the economy in a rural area this may be a great option for you. The 3 star rating is purely in regard to accommodations. The host was gracious and we felt welcome and safe in his home.

a great adventure off the beaten path

My family had an incredible time during our three days/two nights at Rancho el Rio. The kids were entranced by the many animals on the property (especially the friendly dogs!) and we loved hanging on the porch and playing games. We had one dinner and one breakfast delivery arranged which were delicious and enough food for leftovers. While the setting is rustic, it is very clean and the pictures accurately portray the casita. Alexander was a gracious host and was very patient with our rudimentary Spanish as he took us on a tour of the finca. His dedication to sustainability was apparent and inspiring. We flanked our stay here with high-end resorts in La Fortuna and near Manuel Antonio. When we returned home all three of our kids said that the time at Rancho el Rio was their favorite of our trip. If you don't mind the simplicity, highly highly recommend.

Amazing, great and authentic experience

Das Haus war bei unserer Ankunft blitzblank sauber. In der Küche waren alle für unseren Kurzaufenthalt notwendigen Geräte vorhanden. Dass sich die wenigen Kilometer bis Monteverde bei den hiesigen Straßenverhältnissen zu einer über dreißigminütigen Fahrt dehnen könnten, wussten wir vorab und haben die herrlichen Ausblicke während der Fahrt genossen. Den Hinweis in einer früheren Bewertung, dass die Temperaturen auf der Ranch bedeutend höher sind als in Monteverde war sehr hilfreich. Abends auf der großen Terrasse am Fluss sitzend waren aber auch Temperaturen von über 30 Grad gut auszuhalten. Die Betten fanden wir nicht sehr bequem, aber dies ist Geschmackssache. Dank des Deckenventilators war das Schlafen in einem der Schlafzimmer trotz der Hitze erstaunlich gut möglich. In dem anderen Schlafzimmer hatten wir einen Standventilator. Wer zum Schlafen eine Klimaanlage benötigt, sollte hier allerdings lieber nicht buchen. Bei unserer Ankunft wurden wir herzlich von Alexander begrüßt und auch durch die Farm geführt. Letzteres war hilfreich, wenn ich auf eigene Faust über das Gelände gehen wollte. Die 3 Hunde waren dabei ständige Begleiter. (Und verscheuchten damit leider all die Tiere wie Leguane oder Vögel, die ich eigentlich beobachten wollte.) Der Kontakt erfolgte über Stuart, den Sohn des Vermieters, ausschließlich über die FeWo-App. Auch während unseres Aufenthalts war er über die App erreichbar. Alexander und sein Mitarbeiter Carlos verwöhnten uns mit frischem Obst.

Back to the future

Our stay was a return to traditional Costa Rican farm life as it has been for generations. As a Costa Rican/ US family we really enjoyed our stay. We had a wonderful host in Don Carlos. He was kind and helpful. The children loved the horses, cows, ox cart, goats, dogs, pigs, chickens .... well you get the picture. It was quite hot in April so we really enjoyed spending time in the river, finding pools and looking for fossils along the rocking banks. This we did once or twice a day. We ate most of our meals on the patio over looking the river, trees and nature.The house is simple, the hospitality is wonderful, all Costa Rican style. Thank you Don Carlos and all the farm animals who made our stay one to remember.

Such a great experience

Our time at the farm was very memorable! It gave us a real view of Costa Rica, something hotels cant do. We LOVED waking up in the morning to the friendly pig and dogs, while sitting on the gorgeous patio overlooking the river while enjoying the breakfast we had ordered. It away from the busyness of Monteverde, but not too far and the drive to and from here is breathtaking! Definitely worth considering!

Beautiful country living along Rio Guacimal

Our family had a fantastic time here. Alexander (for Stuart) was a wonderful host. He coordinated having dinner delivered to us the evening we arrived and it was delicious! We spent a lot of time outside either in the hammocks or swing and eating at the table there so we could enjoy the view of Rio Guacimal. We were escorted to the river by two of the farm dogs who spent a lot of time hanging out with us. The pigs visited a couple times as well which my husband loved. Alexander took us on a tour of the farm which was very enjoyable. Our daughter got to ride one of the horses while we walked the farm. We did drive up to Monteverde/Santa Elena one day but we preferred the quiet stay at the farm to the tourist laden area. We look forward to recommending a stay at the farm to friend and family. Our family is very comfortable with insects, bats and not having hot water or air conditioning. If any of those things are must not have or haves this is not the place for you. However, if those things don’t bother you, you are sure to have a fantastic experience!

A true farm stay

The house is way off the beaten path and the pictures on the site are very accurate. Screened in kitchen and gorgeous view of river, lots of animals to see along with lots of fruit trees and bees (in a log making honey). The pig had piglets while we were there! The owner will give you a tour of the property and tell you about making sugar and rum. There’s a great restaurant up the road called El Sol and it’s terrific!!

Great experience

The stay at the ranch was a great experience. It allowed us to experience what regular life might be like in Costa Rica. The people living at the ranch were extremely kind and went out of their ways to provide a meaningful experience to our family. The kids enjoyed all the farm animals and swimming in the river. The only downside was that the ranch is located a long way away from Monteverde, which we didn't realized until we got there. To get to the ranch from Monteverde, you have to drive over 45 minutes on mountain roads, and I would not advise doing the drive when it's dark. It's also a very different environment than Monteverde (dryer and a lot warmer). I think that it's just an important piece of information to know before booking, so that you can plan accordingly.

Magical farm stay right on the river

If you love animals and nature, don’t mind a rustic location, and value a truly special, authentic experience, this place is for you! My family (six adults) LOVED our stay on this rustic property. Four sweet farm dogs will escort you anywhere you go and hang out with you on the patio for your entire stay. Prepare to be visited by chickens, pigs (and newborn piglets!), cats, monkeys, bats, and more! without even leaving the house. The farm also has horses and goats you can visit. Suffice it to say that the wildlife interactions were amazing. The groundskeeper, Alejandro, lives on the property and is incredibly accommodating- he treated us to multiple tours of different parts of the farm throughout our time there. There is plenty of parking right on the property for your vehicle, and the house has all the linens and towels you need as well as the basics for cooking in the spacious kitchen. The only thing to keep in mind is that this place is a bit rustic and it doesn’t have a/c, so be prepared to spend some time outside exploring or taking a tour of the farm, cooling off in the shade on the covered patio overlooking the river, or IN the river- and don’t worry about seeing some wildlife (including insects) outdoors! Don’t forget to take advantage of some of the extras that the owners can arrange for you, we arranged to purchase a kilo of the local coffee which was a cool experience. There are some small restaurants and shops in the small, authentic district of Guacimal where the farm stay is located, including a restaurant right down the road. You can also arrange for meals to be brought to you right in the farm. We opted to arrange for breakfast to be delivered daily, the food was super authentic- highly recommend! You’re also close enough (about 30 min south) to the Monteverde/Santa Elena area to visit famous attractions like the Cloud Forest with ease. That being said, life in the farm is so nature packed and peaceful, you might not want to leave at all!

Authentic and memorable Costa Rica experience

We loved our stay at Rancho El Rio. Alexander was a very caring host, and Carlos showed our children all the farm animals, which they loved. We also had a lovely local woman cook and bring us all our meals since we didn't have our own car. She and Alexander joined us on the deck over the river for one meal, and we shared another of our meals with them in the farm area. We got to (had to!) practice our Spanish, which we enjoyed. We cooled off in the river every day. It was all so peaceful and special. We had to leave early for a medical reason and Alexander was so caring and helpful, and arranged a taxi to take us to San Jose. I can't recommend Rancho El Rio enough if you're looking for a memorable, authentic stay in Costa Rica. Not fancy, but clean and perfectly lovely.

Amazing!

Rancho el Rio is a very special place. The house was super cool with all the natural wood and indoor/outdoor living. The amount of wildlife and animals we saw during our stay were countless. So many lizards of all sizes, several toucans and monkeys almost everyday. That on top of all of the farm animals that live on the Ranch. We were there during the off season (rainy season) but still enjoyed the river (carefully). Our host Alex went over and above to ensure we had a great stay. We ventured across the river to get ice cream, my girls got to ride horses, play with baby pigs, observed the process of a hen taking care of her eggs and then having them hatch, taking care of the hen and chicks and so much more. Santa Elana and Monteverde are only a short drive away and offer countless opportunities for day trips but staying at the Ranch offers a unique opportunity experience authentic Costa Rican culture without the tourists. We are already planning our next stay here! It was AWESOME!!

We spent 5 days at the farm and had a wonderful time picking fresh mangos, visiting with the farm dogs and pigs and swimming in the river while toucans flew over head. The accommodations are adequate but rustic which is what we were expecting from a rural farm stay. We loved it and and would gladly stay there again.

Staying at Rancho El Rio in Guacimal made us feel like we were truly immersed in Costa Rican culture. The farm and town are not touristy at all. The accomodations are very simple but VERY cool. We stayed during rainy season and it DEFINITELY rained, more so than usual we were told, but every morning was dry, at least. The river ran hard right behind the house and had a peaceful, but ever present, rushing sound. There are several friendly farm dogs who make themselves comfortable on the porches. Farm animals and wildlife are right outside the door...horses, pigs, sheep, chickens, roosters, bats, and my husband saw howler monkeys the first morning of our stay. We dealt with Stuart for the coordination of our stay. He is a very young but responsible man with great knowledge of the ranch and was a huge help to us. He communicated frequently with us prior to arrival to make sure everything went smoothly. He arranged a local woman to make us dinner that first night because we would be arriving late. It was delicious and affordable and she delivered it herself in her own Tupperware like a neighbor welcoming us home. Stuart also gave us a walking tour of the farm, sampling sugar cane and pineapple, and guided our family on a personal horseback riding your of the property. He was great! Things to know before you go...expect a 40-60 minute drive to Monteverde for any activities off the farm. There is only 1 nearby restaurant. Most activities close early. Minimal hot water for showers

Nice farm with a lot of animals. Basic house.

The property is located in a local farm which has a lot of animals, dogs, pigs, cat, chickens, horses, ducks, etc. My kids really had a lot of fun playing with those energetic and sweet dogs. We even saw monkeys and Iguana on the trees. The river behind the property is clean and shallow, so kids are safe playing water there. House is rustic style and basic. There are bugs, spiderweb, even bats inside the house. And WIFI barely works. But I think the basic house and nature is a good combination, and that is how we are close to mother nature.

Real Farm

We loved everything about our stay. We woke to Howler monkeys, geese and a river every morning. The cottage was rustic. The shower was made out of stones. We are a family of 4 including a 17 year and 15 year old. We rode horses, fed the pigs, held the piglets, played with the cats/ dogs and the list goes on. We fully embraced the experience and appreciated Alex sharing his knowledge with us. They grow many varies of fruit outside of the cottage which we able to sample. We swam in the river outside of the cottage. We did a day trip to Monteverde. Our kids requested we spend one day just hanging out and exploring the farm. There is a swimming hole on the property as well. We visited Veronica at the Sustainable Center and learned a lot about Costa Rican culture/ history. We did not do the in home meals as we enjoyed our restaurant experience at El Sol just up the street. We ate dinners and breakfast there. The food was filling. We always left with leftovers. We were able to share our leftovers with the pigs/ piglets/ geese/ cats/ dogs and Guinea hens. This was a very fulfilling experience. If we have the chance to return to Costa Rica I would stay at the farm again. Enjoyed all of it!
