Alma Del Rio is a unique & natural property which includes 2 houses 40' apart- La Alma & Casa Sophia. As you enter through the gate Casa Sophia is the house on the left and La Alma is the house on the right. Casa Sophia is a unique and natural homestay. This 2 story small house is artfully crafted, overlooking the Macal river and forest canopies often visited by Toucans. Walking down a short path, there is a secluded swimming spot on a sandy island. The space: The top floor is a half 'open' room with a river view that serves as a kitchen and lounge area. The bottom floor can be divided into 2 compact private bedrooms separated by heavy wooden doors or made into a 2-bed suite for friends or a family that would enjoy the shared space. Casa Sophia is a 2-story house with rather open railings; babies or toddlers will require supervision when on the top floor.
La Alma is surrounded by gorgeous greenery and easily provides the feeling of being in the jungle. This one flat house had 2 separate private bedrooms and a breath taking view of the river from the back screened porch. Perfect space for family and friends to enjoy.
Both houses consists of a rain shower, a fully equipped kitchen, laundry, extra bedding upon request, river access, great views, and relaxing in a hammock on your porch. We have taken all the effort to ensure the 2 buildings on the property have maximum privacy. We also accommodate larger groups who can rent the entire compound.

There is one AC unit in each bedroom only which is a treat for days with extreme temperatures but most days AC is not needed due to the great river breeze most of the time and by passive cooling the bedrooms stay cool. Our houses are environmentally friendly: We use a solar water heater and energy efficient lighting, together with only biodegradable products and minimal plastic use. We strive to make minimal impact on the environment.
We offer a truly natural experience. Keep in mind that living in nature means we do get visits from multi-legged or flying critters inside the house. The occasional bangs from falling branches and the chirps and clicks of the geckos add to the tune the beautiful orchestra that nature plays for us :)
