Castillo de La Riviera: A Jungle Guesthouse Retreat

Castillo de La Riviera is more than just a place to stay; it's an experience crafted with love and a deep appreciation for the Costa Rican landscape. Founded in 1995 by Louis, a Canadian expatriate, the Castillo began as a dream to create a space where travelers could unwind and connect with nature. Louis, with his passion for woodworking and building, meticulously constructed the guesthouse, infusing every detail with artisan craftsmanship. Today, Castillo de La Riviera offers a variety of rooms and apartments, each designed to provide comfort and reflect the local culture. Guests can enjoy amenities like a swimming pool, hot water, Wi-Fi, and parking. The guesthouse is known for its warm hospitality, personalized service, and multilingual staff, who are fluent in French, Spanish, and English. The property is surrounded by the sounds of the jungle and offers stunning views. In 2015, Louis's daughter Julie joined the family project, adding a modern touch with the opening of Luna LLENA, a concept store and café that celebrates local artistry. During the dry season, guests can enjoy Tuesday night dinners under the stars, complete with Louis's impromptu musical performances. Castillo de la Riviera provides easy access to Manuel Antonio National Park, beaches, and other attractions.
