About this property

A cottage in the country

This isn't a luxury villa, nor does it aim to be one. It's a lively little country house located in Abreu, in the municipality of Cabrera, where what matters most isn't material things, but the experience you'll have. There’s no air conditioning here, but there is a delightful natural breeze, fans, and a setting that invites you to slow down. You wake up with the sun, surrounded by greenery on all sides, and often with ocean views that simply bring you peace.

The pool, the spacious patio, and the open spaces make it perfect for family time: laughter, games, afternoons in the sun, and quiet evenings.

It’s a simple yet special place—one of those spots where kids never want to leave, where memories are made effortlessly, and where you realise you don’t need luxury to feel happy.

If you’re looking for perfection, this might not be the place for you.
But if you’re looking to unwind, breathe, and create beautiful moments with your family… this is exactly where you need to be. Your little cottage is located in Abreu, a prime area between Cabrera and Río San Juan, putting you very close to all the area’s best attractions. 📍 Approximate distances from the house

The home was so clean, it was beautiful and stocked full of everything you needed! The host Julia was so absolutely welcoming and friendly, with excellent communication from the moment of booking on. We had her prepare a meal for us on Mother’s Day and not only was it delicious, but very affordable too! She was on top of everything from start to finish. The pool was very clean & refreshing. She sent us a video ahead of time to help us get to the property easily. The beds were very comfortable, bathrooms were huge and spotless. She has a grill outside you can use. The home is run on solar panels, so there is no a/c BUT being in the mountainside and with all the ceiling fans, you always had a nice refreshing breeze to cool you down. I highly recommend this property, and we will definitely be back when we visit the area again!! Thank you so much for welcoming us into your beautiful home!

The property was nestled nicely above a mountain top. It is overlooking a lush green forest which extends to endless ocean views. Could not ask for a better host. Always available and willing to help.

Nuestra familia quedo muy feliz con la estadia en esta Hermosa propiedad, tanto que no queriamos marcharnos. El atardecer se puede apreciar de una manera espectacular, la piscina es muy agradable. Se respira un aire fresco y en las habitaciones descansamos super bien. Teniamos muchos planes en Cabrera para explorar, pero Estabamos tan relajados y nos sentiamos como en casa entonces salimos solo a lo recesario.
