The grounds are amazing. We woke up everyday to the sound of tropical birds and we only had to sit back on the porch to see all kinds of hummingbirds, tanagers, toucans and more. We also saw an agouti crossing the yard! The house itself is beautifully done and was a good base for us to visit nearby beaches, waterfalls and take a snorkeling trip to Caño island. ##### Vasiliki T.

Hermosa beach is at 5 minutes by car and Ballena national park and beaches at 15 minutes. No need for a 4x 4 to get to the villa. Udo is a perfect host, proactive and discrete.

Udo did a great job of welcoming us and taking care of all of our needs. Loved all the small touches like fresh pineapple and homemade granola! The pool was fabulous and was a welcome place to cool off and read a book after a day out! The property itself was quiet and wonderfully surrounded by glorious flowers and bamboo!

The whole property is gorgeous and very well thought out design. The highlight of the house may very well be the bathroom though. Pictures cannot show how good it looks. My wife commented that it should be in magazines. Udo was attentive to our requests but also gave us our space so it really feels like you have the property to yourself. We saw plenty of toucans, heard howler monkeys and had a troupe of white faced monkeys go by about 50 feet from the patio. We were only there a few days but they were quite lovely. If we were back in the area again we wouldn't hesitate to stay again if it were just the two of us. ##### Gerald L.

The best place we stayed traveling through Costa Rica. We spend a week here last February and loved it. Orange House is Stylish, cosy, and has everything to feel home. The outside Shower is a bonus. Kirsten & Udo are very friendly and discreet; also Security dog Taifun is doing a great job. We could use there pool private and had a great massage at the poolside. And you will find all you need, as a tourist in a distant away. The Pacific, very beautiful beaches, Diving spots, nice restaurants, supermarkets. This place we will definitely recommend to friends. ##### Corina K. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hilary S. 10 Jan 2015 #### A tranquil gem! My husband and I have just spent the most relaxing and tranquil two week stay at the Orange House over the Christmas/New Year holiday. Kerstin and Udo are charming and discreet hosts. What they have achieved here, returning what was once relatively barren cattle-ranching land back to an ecologically diverse garden filled with native and non-native plants that attract a variety of birds and insects is a joy to behold. It is a little "Eden"' tucked away up an unpaved road and yes less than five minutes' away from all the amenities of Uvita. The praises received from other reviewers are well-deserved. I, for one, will find every other bathroom - no matter how cutting-edge - mundane and ordinary after experiencing their magnificent outdoor shower and sharing it with the odd visiting bird or gecko! The view from the infinity pool across to the surrounding hills is breathtaking and it is a delight to watch the antics of the birds from there at sunset. Typhoon, the guard dog is the most gentle and well-mannered I have ever met. We had planned to do all sorts of excursions during our stay and yet we hardly left the property, so comfortable did we feel. Attention to detail and a sense of pride in what they have achieved here is evident. If you would like to stay in a beautiful hideaway and yet be close to all the restaurants and other amenities, then this is the place for you. We would love to stay here again. Thanks Kerstin and Udo for sharing your exquisite home with us. ##### Hilary S.

Kerstin & Udo have built an absolutely amazing guest house that is private, serene, gorgeous & green, and they are the consummate warm & gracious hosts. We would live here if we could. Compared to really expensive hotels & options, this place competes & excels at an amazing rate especially given the amenities & lush surroundings. Cannot speak highly enough of everything about the Orange House. ##### james p.

We'll come back for sure. Thanks ##### Guillaume S.

The beautifull house with a great garden full of trees and flowers invited us to relax the whole day at the awesome pool. On other days we visited quite beaches and fresh rivers+waterfalls located only a few kilometres away. We watched whales and dolphines and many other nice animals. The house is clean and well equipped, the owners are very friendly and helpful. The Rainforest shower in the open bath is absolutely amazing! Hopefully we can come back soon This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 11 Sept 2013 #### Notre 25ième anniversaire de mariage dans ce lieu plus que charmant.

In Deutschland froren die Menschen bei Minus 20 Grad und wir hatten bei 30 Grad am Swimmingpool unseren Aperitif! Dieses Gaestehaus in Uvita bei Kerstin und Udo ist ein Traum. Den Tucanen zuzuhören und das Faultier zu beobachten ist ein großartiges Erlebnis. Mitten im Dschungel kann man sich wunderbar erholen. Auch das Duschen in der Naturdusche ist ein herrliches Gefühl. Eine angenehme Brise weht den ganzen Tag durchs Tal. Morgens freuten wir uns schon mit dem treuen Hund Taifun einen Morgenslpaziergang machen zu duerfen. Ein Picnic am Meer bei Sonnenuntergang oder am Pool sich zu aalen ließ uns den Alltagsstress vergessen. Eine Dschungeltour vom Longhouse durch den nahen Fluss mit Udo war ein Höhepunkt unserer Reise. Es war alles sehr liebevoll bereitet, dafür ein herzliches Dankeschön an euch Zwei. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder!!

Pendant deux semaines nous étions les invités de Kerstin et Udo, dans leur très accueillante maison sur la colline de Uvita, la Longhouse. Les très abondants petit-déjeuners qui nous ont été servis tous les matins avec amour et savoir-faire, l´ambiance chaleureuse et sympathiyque et les bons conseils que nous ont prodigués tous les jours Kerstin et Udo pour nos randonnées ou visites, ont contribué à la pleine réussite de nos vacances. En ce qui me concerne ce sont les plus belles et intéressantes vacances de ma vie. Nous reviendrons surement. Encore tous nos profonds remerciements à Kerstin et Udo pour l´excellente programmation.

Upon arrival it was as though exhaling for the very first time. Just a tad off the beaten path, this home is far from this world. The kindness of Kerstin and Udo as we arrived was very welcoming. The serenity and overall sense of well being is just amazing. There are many great day getaways very close by, secluded beaches, hikes, mangrove tours and dolphin/whale watching. All of which were great additions. Be aware though, once you get to this beautiful little paradise it is hard to leave. Do yourself a favor and don't! Take a whole day to relax, lounge in the hammock, poolside and just breathe. We did, and will definitely visit again.
