Charlotte and Daniel are very welcoming and accommodating and very genuine people. Beautiful home with a very spacious outside patio/kitchen area w a hammock and dining table. Great location, minutes from Brasilito beach and playa Conchal! Forketta down the road is also a very decent Italian restaurant. Would definitely stay again!! And again!!

We had a lovely 1 night stay. The staff, our hosts are just lovely. Great suggestions for dinner, breakfast, and places to visit. Just a quick note. When your GPS tells you to take Monkey Trail road. Take it. We did not, and drove a couple more hours than necessary. That was our fault for not trusting the technology

23 February 2024
the property was very clean, comfortable and well ordered, and the owners/managers were warm and responsive. The one hassle was that it was not made at all clear in Expedia’s description that one had to pay cash..no credit cards, Venmo. Getting the payments resolved was time consuming.

Daniel and Charlotte were such wonderful hosts! I had a lovely stay at Casa Papito. The house is beautiful and the garden is lush. I especially enjoyed the heated salt water pool, my enormous private terrace, and outdoor kitchen.

Combination of wonderful hosts & a unique rental
First and foremost, the hosts were very warm and friendly from the beginning. This positively affected our entire stay throughout. The property itself is very well taken care of and extremely beautifully and uniquely built. They have done a great job with the design of the two rental areas on the top floor as well as the entire grounds--including a gorgeous pool. I feel like I need to mention again how wonderfully friendly and positive our experience was with the hosts.
