Located in Sámara, Casa Terra features a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available.

Samara Beach is 700 metres from Casa Terra, while Buena Vista Beach is 1.6 km away. The nearest airport is Nosara Airport, 25 km from the accommodation. Amazing staff that went above and beyond. The location is 15-20 minute walk from town and the beach, however I loved that as it was quiet and surrounded by nature. The outside space/garden at the hostel was a great vibe - hammocks, art work, fire pit, monkeys, etc. Very chill. Kitchen was also well equipped, and there was a mini grocery store less than a minute walk away.
