“We are so grateful to the hosts. The jungle is incredible there and filled with birds and animals.”
+The family style meals were excellent and great conversations. The area and wildlife are magical with wonderful walks into the jungle for the advanced hikers. The grounds and porch seating outside the room is great.
−The bed was a little harder than I like but quite comfortable. The cabin was sweet though a little tight space wise.

“If you want a truly immersive experience, skip Corcavado National Park and come here! Thank you , Merci Beaucoup, Muchos”
+Filip, his wife, and their dogs are the warmest and most welcoming hosts. When you stay at Finca Sueno de Osa, you become part of their family and they share their vast knowledge with generosity and humour. We stayed in the cabin with the front porch and highly recommend this. The cabin was very private, cosy, breezy, and clean. We sat on the porch for hours listening to the macaws, howling monkeys, frogs, and many other birds that Filip knows lots about. Filip has created many hiking trails that are clearly marked and that will take you into places you’d never imagine…waterfalls, rocky rivers, ridges, lush primary rainforest. Bring your hiking gear and get ready to be amazed. The hiking is exquisite. …As are the meals. Filip and Nettie cook everything with care, with many ingredients coming from their fruit trees, hens, pig, and cheese from a neighbour. You will be treated to some of the best food in Costa Rica, and Filip shares his stories about ecology, Costa Rica, and many other wisdoms over meals. Filip provides excellent instructions on how to reach his paradise. Once you are there you’ll not hear anything except the sounds of Osa. Our stay was the best part of our time in Co

“Great escape for lovers of nature, hiking and peace!”
+This place was amazing. Very remote and with that comes great hiking trails and a quiet night. Filip the owner cooked great breakfasts and dinners. They were his take on traditional cooking in the area. He was very knowledgeable about the surrounding nature and made the visit like I was staying at an old friend’s house. Getting there takes a little effort, but well worth it. I took a bus from Puerto Jimenez to La Palma and then a 4X4 taxi to get to Finca Sueno De OSA. Highly recommend if you are looking for solitude in nature and want to go on some challenging but rewarding hikes.
−I like it all!

“Remote but special - thanks for sharing your home with us!”
+The owners were wonderful! Filip shared his passionate knowledge about the area and nature with us which made our stay very special. A beautiful setting and lovely home cooked food.
−There was no hot water in the room so only cold showers - but hot water is planned in the future. Be aware that if you don’t have your own transport a return journey from Puerto Jimenez to the finca costs $160 as it is an hour’s journey each way in a 4WD. But Filip can organise this for you.

“Fantastic place.”
+Absolutely fantastic breathtaking place. Worth to choose the better bigger villa with terrace. We were sitting every day listening to birds, lot of birds were flying over our heads (scarlet macaws, toucans, hummingbirds, green parrots…). Blue morphos butterflies flying around. Filip and his family are extremely kind and nice, cooking warm breakfast and dinner (local), which was very tasty. This is a big advantage because you could eat very tasty local food which you could not easily find in restaurants. We were doing a night tour with Filip and saw a snake, tarantula, centipedes, frogs… All trails are private, no people around! Absolutely breathtaking was to see the biggest ceiba in Corcovado, about 500 years old tree! Also amazing was to see giant matapalos, lianas which killed a tree and grow instead of it. If you are lucky, you can see Maria, a sloth coming every year staying around 4 months. We would like to come again for at least a week next year. Thanks a lot for very nice stay.

“Superb”
+An unambiguous highlight of our 6week trip to Costa Rica. This special place is deep in the Osa rainforrest and borders the Corcovado national park. Filip is incredibly knowledgable about nature in general and flora and fauna of Costa Rica in particular. He and his wife were great hosts and we much enjoyed our common breakfast and dinner and getting to know each other. They have build a range of superb hiking trails on their 100acre property to wander off into the untouched nature. The little cabins are pretty basic but well designed and this was just what we were looking for. Make sure you have a decent awd/4x4 to geth there. We hope to visit again when returning to Costa Rica

“Amazing jungle experience. The find of our holiday!”
+We had the most amazing time here! Filip and Nielsy were incredible and kind hosts. The food was delicious, the accommodation was very clean and comfortable. We picked the smaller cabin, and we had an amazing view from there, and we had everything we needed. It was amazing to have the freedom to do hikes in the jungle and just be in Osa, especially when hikes through Corcovado National Park are shut in October. Filip was also so knowledgeable on naming species we had seen that day. We can't wait to come back, it was the find of our holiday! We loved every second and wished we had booked a longer stay here. We can't thank Filip and Nielsy enough for making our time so memorable.
−Nothing.
