Good to know

Every thoughtful detail is crafted to enhance the uniqueness of your stay. The semi-outdoor kitchen, nestled among lush foliage, infuses a tropical zest into your culinary adventures. Our outdoor bathroom, with its shower integrated into a coconut tree, offers a day-long connection with nature. In the front, encircled by vibrant gardens, the two-person bathtub with both hot and cold water options provides the perfect sanctuary to relax with a glass of wine after a day full of discovery, all while basking in the beauty of your floral haven. The house is designed with panels on every side that open to welcome the breeze, offering a natural cooling effect. Our indoor and outdoor gardens, cultivated with love, are a haven for birds and butterflies, enveloping you in the sweet fragrances of select blooms. As an Eco House, we’re mindful of our environment; even our quaint pool is free from chemicals and soaps. For those less accustomed to the island climate, air conditioning is available to ensure your comfort amidst the tropical ambiance..

Other Details to Note

There are a few (but very good !) restaurants in Santa Fe, the rest is in General Luna Area. Santa Fe is known for its unique empty beaches, its uncrowded surf spots (& sometimes Kitesurf) and the kindness of its people. Our local friends are excellent surf instructors, and will be available for you if you're craving for surf lessons, at the beach right in front of the property. Being in the middle of wildlife, you may encounter jungle sounds at night, and experience the visit of some friendly bugs, insects sometimes frogs or the neighbors friendly dogs who wander through from time to time as you may find everywhere else in the island. Casa Mariposa has been designed to be at its cosiest for a couple of lovebirds / friends. However, it is possible to share the space for 2 additional people thanks to the pulling off bed if you want to live the experience in group. There are enough facilities and seating for more persons, so feel free to bring some friends for sunset drinks at the house !

At first I didn’t know what to expect, but when I started exploring the place I started admiring how beautiful it is. How much thought and creativity went into it. I felt so at home, so inspired and so gonna come back for sure. Just what i needed to end my trip. Quiet, sacred place to rest & rejuvenate. Highly highly recommended. And the hosts are so helpful and friendly.

Seb was very pro-active responsive. He answered everything we needed always available if we need something. And his place is a piece of art, that has a great armory between nature and waow type of architectural design with all needed utilities available. By far best Airbnb I've been in, in any country. Thank you 🙏
