This place is one of the most amazing experiences that I have ever had on a vacation. Chema were Marga made my son and I feel like one of their family. Chema and Marge built the house by hand mostly from the material on their land. They have 5 bedrooms all fully equipped. My adult son and I were very comfortable in one bedroom. The house is in a cloud forest above Uvita Beach. Every day the clouds form in the mountains in a valley north and south of their home. The clouds enter their home almost every day. They go in one large door and exit another large door. It is a site to behold. There is a great vista on a nearby hill about 1000 feet from their home. You can see Uvita beach and the valley of forest and clouds at the 1000 M level. Giant birds glide over the valley with their wings catching the air in and out of the clouds. We were there in the so called dry season. There was not much rain. The Howler monkeys started howling in the morning. The vegetation was endless. Chema walked us about the property as he macheted the way for us in the Forest (jungle) that surrounds his property. They also have a large fire place that creates a great feeling at night. We went sea kayaking at Uvita beach and went into some hidden caves. We had fresh coconut milk on the beach after our kayaking. It was macheted open by a local 12 year girl that then put a straw into it. One day we went to a local stream and swam in a small natural pool. They have horses that are also amazing too. Every day Marga made us 3 tasty meals of the healthiest food imaginable. They have the most sincere respect for the sustainability of the forest and the earth and we will return soon to share their very special space. It is truly the land that time forgot and Chema exposed the magic to us.

Peaceful and beautiful grounds. Same goes for the accommodations. Clean, quiet, and well kept. Delicious and healthy food. The hosts were very accommodating to us and our small baby. They have a good sense about when to check up on us, and when to give us our space. Marga and Chema are calming and wise. Rich oxygen, exciting jungle sounds, and magnificent views! Two sweet, gentle dogs are on security patrol.

Chema and Marga live a unique lifestyle and I was privileged to experience it. Casa Tordesillas sits on acres of land with a view of the ocean on one side and the surrounding mountains on the other. They invite you to help with he horses and with the gardening if you so desire and I did. There are beautiful hikes, natural pools and waterfalls to discover and then there is Marga's phenomenal cooking. This is the best I've ever eaten in Costa Rica and probably one of the best ever in the world. When food is cooked with love and creativity, it touches your tastebuds in a whole new way. I would return to Casa Tordesillas whenever I next have the opportunity as it is unique and once In a lifetime experience.

The setting here couldn't be better. On a hill, just above a pass, with a view of the Pacific from 1000m up. Well preserved forest behind the house and across the street. Howler Monkeys and an absolute plethora of neo-tropical birds great you each morning. Chema and Marga are veteran hosts and made me feel at home immediately in their beautiful, slightly rustic, hand-built house. Each meal from Marga's kitchen was a celebration of freshness. Healthy, plentiful and delicious described every one of the 14 meals I had with them, always accompanied with great conversation. Casa Tordesillas is an inspiration to anyone how has ever considered living off the grid and in tune with your natural surroundings. Off the grid may sound like roughing it, but to the contrary Chema and Marga (and guests) live quite comfortably. If you have at least a small sense of adventure, you'll be quite comfortable here as well. The climate in early april was fantastic. It warmed up quickly in the mornings, but by mid-day there were always some clouds and a nice cool breeze from the Pacific and remained a very comfortable temperature through the night. I'm already trying to figure out when I can return.

Chema and Marga offer such a unique experience staying at Casa Tordesillas. Chad and I were traveling through Costa Rica and this was the last place we stayed before coming home. What a wonderful place to end the trip!! The beauty surrounds you,the knowledge and way of life inspires, the clouds give a sense of peace. It is a magical place! If you are up for an adventure off the beaten path, I highly recommend a stay here! Horses, jungle, waterfalls - all within walking distance. And the food, so, so delicious! I didn't want to leave. Thanks again Marga and Chema. It was wonderful to join you for a few days at your casa and we will be back, someday!

Never have I (voluntarily!) gotten up so early in the morning as when a group of friends and I stayed at this amazing place with Chema and Marga. You couldn't wish for a more serene and yet spectacular sunrise (or sundown)with matching views than this. It's a truly inspiring place in many ways. Chema and Marga understand the art of hospitality and offer a comfortable stay with lots of possibilities to discover the area, also on horseback. Nature's great, food is good and there's so much to simply experience and enjoy in the amenities. It's exactly the place you are looking for to really get away from everyday life.

In Casa Tordesillas I found peace, adventure, art, health, time that lasts to do a lot of things, close contact with Nature, delicious and nutricius meals, good company and conversation, the magic light of candles and experienced the joy of living sustainably off the grid, not just talk about it. Every time I go back I learn a lot of things there. I'm very proud that Chema and Marga are the guardians of this knowledge and that they share it with others. In a good sense, they are the keepers of the best of the old ways, the tresure we look for, but adapted to the future. Thank you Marga and Chema.

Chema´s and Margas place is inspiring. I admire how they are congruent with their world vision, and found a sustainable lifestyle, surounded by nature, a great location where you can see the ocean and touch the clouds. Do-In in the mornings, a walk in the forest, a swim in the river, a coffee with chocolate cake, dinner with candles, a great conversation, a delicious meal with fresh ingredients from their organic garden is a beautiful experience. I will be back soon ! Raquel.

This place was extraordinary, great views of the mountain ranges and the coasline. Took an incredible hike right by the property in an old growth cloud forest with Chema. Marga and Chema are gracious hosts. They make you feel at home immediately and are very attentive to your needs. The food was delicious and wholesome!! Chemas has a wealth of knowledge about sustainable living and Costa Rica and is very generous about sharing it with you. If you want to experience the joy and beauty of living a natural and simple life. This is the place to go.
