About this property

CORAZON DEL RIO The Heart of the River in the Serenity of Nature

Be one with nature in this amazing and unique Villa. This one of a kind home nestled in the mountains close to a cascading waterfall and river with your own swimming hole. The owners want their guests to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of this land of Pura Vida, so they brought part of the river into the house as a stream through the living room! Relax in this very private setting or use the 2 decks for observation, meditation or yoga. Only 20 minutes from Dominical, it does require 4x4

private waterfall/swimhole paradise
We loved staying at Corazon Del Rio! Our favorite was the short trail to the waterfall and refreshing swimhole, what a treat! With the daily heat and humidity, it was so nice to be able to cool off there. The beds were comfy, good water pressure in the showers, nice kitchen with all we needed. We loved the location too, spent the day at Playa Matapalo, great locals beach that the owners recommended in the detailed book you get on checkin. Enjoyed Nauyaca falls too, so many waterfalls nearby to explore. Would highly recommend this! Make sure you have 4 wheel drive though, the road to the house would be impassable otherwise. We also loved shopping for food at the Elizabeth 2 shop in Platanillo, so convenient, had everything we needed too.

Birdwatching paradise
This place was awesome! The house itself was beautiful, and the construction was well done. There were no quirks with the electricity or plumbing, unlike other places we’ve stayed in Costa Rica. The pictures don’t lie, this place was stunning. I am a birdwatcher, and I was amazed to see two kinds eating fruit from the tree 20 feet from the house. There were other beautiful birds, ranging from hummingbirds to trogons, that could be seen around the clock. There were surprisingly no mosquitoes when we visited in early March, but there were huge katydids and grasshoppers flying about, so if you are squeamish about nature, this isn’t the place for you. If you don’t have access to a four-wheel-drive vehicle, it isn’t a place for you either. This is a secluded house, and the dirt road is fairly steep. The nearby town of Dominical was clean, safe, and fun. Lots of restaurant choices, a microbrewery, and tours. The check in process was easy, and Pam was great to work with. No complaints, I hope to come back sometime.

Amazing Beautiful Home Away from Home in Nature
This house was amazing! Tucked away in nature it quickly felt like our home away from home. Plenty of space to spread out, work, and enjoy the beauty of nature. The waterfall is serene and private only steps away from the property. The kitchen is spacious and well stocked. We thoroughly enjoyed getting away from town and rejuvenating our mind, body and spirit in this space. This is a perfect location for smaller retreats as well with an awesome yoga/meditation deck, plenty of bedrooms and the perfect place to unwind, relax and heal. The check-in process was super easy.the Blue Morpho Property Management team was easy to work with and very attentive. Hope to visit again soon!
