The mountain keeps its own hours
A Chinampas villa stay on a working coffee farm in Guanacaste. Three private homes. Sámara is fifteen minutes down the mountain — not the hometown.
Twenty acres of working farmland. Three private homes, each with its own infinity pool. Coffee grown on the slope you wake up to, and a kitchen that shops the hillside instead of a warehouse.
01The land
A working farm, not a backdrop
Fruit trees, chili, star fruit, plantain, lime and coffee grow across the property. Guests eat what the hillside is producing that week and take the rest home through Blue Mountain Farms.

03The ritual
From slope to cup, before breakfast
Walk the plantation with the team, pick what's ripe, and learn the part of Costa Rican coffee that never makes it onto a bag: the sorting, the patience, the roast.
Then drink it on the terrace, looking at the trees it came from. Guests have called this the reason they came back.

04Experiences
Days shaped by the land
- 01
Farm-to-table on twenty acres
The kitchen shops the hillside, not a warehouse. Fruit, chili, plantain, lime and coffee grow across the twenty acres you sleep on.
- 02
Coffee tour on the Chinampas slope
The trees you see from the terrace are the ones you walk. The tour is on the property, not a bus ride to someone else's finca.
- 03
Trails and river on the twenty acres
Twenty private acres. Trails through coffee and fruit, river access on the property, a viewpoint for the hour the mountain keeps for itself.
- 04
Blue Zone living
Slow days in one of Costa Rica’s famed longevity regions — Starlink when you need it, silence when you don’t.

Words from the terrace
“Our family of four had an incredible stay. The views are impeccable, and the home itself is equipped for comfortable living and is in pristine condition. Josue and his team maintain the property at an impressive level and offer world class hospitality.”
“We had the best stay. Such a beautiful, special place. We spent hours just relaxing and watching the view. Lots of grounds to explore, we walked down to the river on the property, had a fire at the view point and my children loved the pool.”
“This was our second visit to The Retreat and we left hoping for a third. In the morning we drank coffee grown right onsite, a gift from our hosts. The hospitality is warm, friendly and generous.”
