Juans' place is simply amazing! My girlfriend and I only stayed for one night, but would have loved to stay much longer! All is as described in the posting - only even better. We had a great nights sleep and a dip in the pool in the morning. Juan is a great, open and helpful host. Definitely recommend to anyone who wants to get away from it all and relax.

Juan was very welcoming and attentive. Also detail oriented. From the 6-pack of beer in the fridge when I arrived, to the morning coffee, everything was more than I expected. The space is beautiful (can't stress this enough) with all the amenities. From the kitchen, to the TV, to the hammocks, etc. Will definitely visit again.

We needed a last minute place to stay near our family to spend Christmas but was a little bit wary because wasn't sure I could make it since one of my dogs was sick so need some time to make sure we could make it. Juan was kind enough to wait a little longer the same day while we made up our minds. Once decided Juan made sure we had all imdtructions to make a safe and fast journey. Since it was raining Juan waited for us a little bit down the road and lead our way. When we got there the place is very beautiful. And as mention it was raining so he welcomed us into his home and meet his wonderful family till we could go to the room downstairs. As we went down he went thru al the things available for our use they even left water in the fridge but most amazing his wife sent my husband and me some octopus salad that was to die for. Everything and more that we asked for was there. We came in that night almost at dawn, we slept very peacefully. As we woke up and starting moving around Juan bought us a try with freshed brewed coffee, milk on th3 side and local bread, just what we need after a night of partying. Juan was such a wonderful host and we never felt they intruded in any way. He even welcomed us to take with us any of the fruits from his trees if we wanted so. Highly recommended we felt at home. We are now sure we have a place to stay close to our family activities that is if its available which we hope so.

Se pasa de show

Awesome place to stay! Completly private room, beautiful pool, everithing there is very peaceful and relaxing, and Juan it's a great host.

Everything was ok an nice. The owner was very nice and the place is very peacefull and nature confortable.

My husband and I LOVED staying at Juans place. The atmosphere was super relaxing and he respected our privacy. We felt very welcomed and would recommend his place to anyone traveling to Cidra.

A little off the beaten path, but a good value for the money. Peaceful and quiet.

We had a wonderful stay in this home. It was clean and comfortable. I was looking for a relaxing vacation and that's exactly what I got. Even though the house doesn't have air-conditioning, which I thought would be an issue, it was cool despite the 84 degree temps. On the drawback side if you stay here buy a map of the island before you venture out, GPS not very reliable from the mountain.

We stayed in this very pleasant house for a week in February. The location is about a mile north of 184 on 763, not far from the famous lechoneras of Guavate on 184. If you don't know what they are (like we didn't when we rented the house), definately look it up. You're in for a treat. There are several clips on YouTube including one with Andrew Zimmer of Bizarre Foods as well as Anthony Bourdain of No Reservations. It's fairly quiet during the week when many are closed, but the weekends explode with locals and visitors sometimes clogging the road. But just relax and go with the flow. It's a great local destination. You might be advised that the house is located on a road that is fairly busy during early morning and late afternoon. We were kind of surprised for it being just a "rural" two lane in the hills. So if you're a light sleeper, you may want to use the middle or back bedroom. We did. It's quieter. Even though there are three bedrooms(two queen, one double bed), there were only two of us, giving us plenty of room to move around. The TV worked fine. There is a washer/dryer combo unit on the back porch that we didn't use, but were shown how. The kitchen is small-ish. So you really don't want more than two people in there when it's cooking time, but it's big enough to get the job done. There are plenty of utensils and cookware. The view of the valley from the back porch is especially pretty at night when you can see the village in the distance and house dotted all over the hillsides. Go across the road and you'll see the same thing. It's a very lush and beautiful area as is most of the island and the cooler mountain air is refreshing. There is an older couple who grill chickens to sell across the street early on Saturdays only. We didn't try one as we had other places to be that morning, but they sure smelled and looked good. There is also a small grocery store further north on 763 that has warm, fresh water bread every morning. Commercial, but tasty. Overall, it was a great local experience. Give it a try!

This place was great. Beautiful home with a gorgeous view from the back. The hosts communicated well, and the property managers were easy to work with to get access to the home. Wonderful spot in the mountains of Guavate.

Linda was easy to communicate with and put us in contact with the property manager that handles every details in her absence. The Check-in was smooth. The property is as described with a gorgeous views of the surrounding mountains. If you are looking for serenity, romance, privacy, I would say book it even if it's not what I mentioned you will enjoy the place. Definitely on our list next time we visit the area.

Dear Linda, You home was beautiful, and so comfortable. Madelena is very precious. Even speaking no English, she guided me through the in's and out's of the house, and we communicated well. My cousin joined me on the second day, and being fluent in Spanish, he took over the communication from there. The location was perfect for exploring the mountain areas, and Aibonito, and San Lorenzo, appealed to me the most. The Lechonera's were an experience for sure! Lechonera Los Pinos was our favorite, and I'm pretty sure that's the one you suggested. Thank you for having me, and I enjoyed a very relaxing stay in your home. It was everything that I was looking forward to, and more! All the best to you & your family. Anthony ps. Please give Madelena my best regards when you talk to her.

I was there for a full week and all I can say is.. I had a blast, and a wonderful stay. House was very clean. The owner Linda was amazing to communicate with. Felt so secured and safe. Highly recommended!! Lots of love.

It was just exactly was we expected. The house is located in a quited but yet full of life town Guabate the best Lechon ever, there is Panaderia about 2 minutes driveto the left, right in front of it they cook chichen and types of food but on the weekend now if drive to the right of the house like for 7 minutes will find the best Lechon y yuca, ohh my God! con una Medalla it just great! We loved our stay and very safe... Last but not least Magdalena, the lady that take care of the house... very helpfull, she was great! Hightly recommend it... Love n peace!

House was perfect for us.

The area by the house is absolutely beautiful my family and I enjoyed every bit of the house Janet was amazing always checked up on us and made sure everything was well

Logement de première qualité avec tout le confort et le nécessaire pour vivre des vacances de qualité. Les hôtes sont très présents et disponibles pour vous aider. Logement à recommander sans modération

The first thing I have to say about this house is WOW!!! The pictures just don't do it justice. You know you are getting a nice place when you look at them but the cleanliness and organization hit you immediately upon arriving. Janet is super accommodating and willing to be reached at any time. She is prompt with her responses and she knows what she's talking about. For those of you that want to come to PR to be close to beaches and sunbathe this may not be the place for you. Beaches are easily accessible everywhere on the island but this is a small town in the middle of the island. I happen to have family that was 15 minutes from here and needed a place to stay to see all of them and this was beyond perfect. My nephews had plenty of space to run around and play. Each of the adults had their own bedroom with air conditioning which was a lifesaver for me. You can't beat the price. If you have a large party coming this place would be perfect. Can easily accommodate 10 people with room to spare. I would definitely stay here again. No if, ands or buts about it.

Where Can I start. So many good things to talk about. Janet and her husband are the nicest, considerate, attention to detail and just plain awesome people to talk and deal with. She contacted us once a day to make sure if we needed anything. Love it. The house was setup so perfectly I never had to call them for anything. They left us a guide with local restaurant, places to go, grocery stores and more. My kids even said dad this house is awesome because they even had toys and games for the kids. Location was perfect. Grocery store was 3 minutes away driving. 20 minutes away with a scenic drive from the main highway that takes you to San Juan all the way to Ponce. Loved it. House it self was roomy and a lot of sleeping area and a great kitchen. They even had a full pantry if you want to cook right away or during your stay. Very clean and upscale design bathroom layout. Also, all the rooms have comfortable beds. No cheap mattress. The laundry room was accessible and convenient location. Overall I love the home. Anyone reading this review should book this place fast. You will love the location and your family. And the price is worth it. The math doesn't lie. A hotel will cost you the same or more and have no where close to what this location will offer. Thank you Janet and family for being a great host and allowing us to stay at your beautiful home.

This was by far my best stay on many Airbnb and others sites that I have stayed. The kids were able to watch their favorite cartoons and animations in Amazon Prime. When we arrived we had fresh bread, milk, treats and canned good food to help us through the first day until we were able to go to the supermarket to get food stuff. Great BBQ in the terrace. Janet was very gracious and answered all questions expeditiously. Very easy to check-in and check-out. Will definitely stay again.

This is really an experience that the pictures cannot do justice. You NEED to be here! It's beautiful and clean, and welcoming! I could go on and on about this blessed place and it's hosts, but you really need to experience them for yourself. It's money well spent, and you'll never forget it!

This home is one of the most beautiful in Puerto Rico! Leave the windows open all the time and enjoy the constant tropical breezes n the sporadic downpours that make being in the rainforest so neat! If you are looking to visit PR and live with the locals with very few tourists around, this is the place to be. Cidra is a quaint lil town about 45 minutes south from the SJU San Juan airport and is convenient to a lot of the surrounding sights in every direction. Mrs. Janet is a wonderful host!

We had a wonderful time in Villa Glorimer. The house is spacious, well-equipped, beds comfortable and very private. The view of the lake and the mountains is just amazing, pure beauty! The villa was nicely decorated for Christmas and we had a very memorable December 25th day. Thanks also for the pasteles, coquito and bolitas de pana!!!!

This is a beautiful lake house with an espectacular view and most amazing environment. We had a great time with family and friends. Gloria the house keeper is a wonderful lady and makes the best "arroz con gandules and pasteles" we have ever had. The house was VERY clean and comfortable. Efrain, the house owner, is very responsible and always accesible. The amenities of the house were above our expectations. All you need to bring is the grocery shopping for you will never want to leave this magical place.

Tremendo lugar! Recomendado! El lugar y la atención fue perfecta! Amazing place! Fully recommended! The owner and service provided was excellent!

Our host couldn't have treated us any better! He greeted us at the house at the scheduled time and was wonderful in showing us all we needed to know about the house for our stay. He was a perfect steward for one of the most relaxing and detoxifying vacation experiences I've ever had! The house was spotless clean, easy to get to, and there are no pictures that do justice to the lake view and access, as well as of the beautiful home. In all truth, this will be my first go to option for a relaxing, detoxifying, and peaceful retreat. It was amazing to go with a small group of like-minded friends who were in search for this type or trip! Beautiful view, beautiful home, great weather, great friends, great food... It couldn't have been more perfect. :)

The place has a great view of the lake. The patio is great for hanging a hammock and enjoying the view. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are spacious. The house has no screens so the fresh breeze cools down the rooms. Rafael was a great host.

Great value, comfortable and clean apartment, and very nice host!

Kathy was a great, check in was easy and very accommodating as we got there super early. We felt super secure and slept into our schedule. The accommodations were just as pictured super clean and comfortable. They even had a token of appreciation waiting for us... some homemade coquito! We absolutely loved it! We will definitely be coming back. Thank you s(PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN) much Kathy it was wonderful!

Kathy and John were great hosts! We felt very welcomed with them. The apartment was so pretty, clean and comfortable. Definitely I'll return in a future visit to Caguas! Totally recommended.

Everything was great, highly recommended, the place is exactly the same as the photos Kathy provided excellent service!

Nice place. Very clean and comfortable. Kathy was very courteous and attentive.

Kathy and her husband were caring, attentive, responsive hosts who went above and beyond expectations. The apartment was beautifully decorated for the Valentine holiday including some special treats ( which were consumed with delight). The apartment had everything we needed for our stay and our hosts were avalaible both via telephone and in person to ensure we had all that we required. It was the perfect end to our vacation. We hope to return.

Was thrilled to be there, the hosts Kathy and John are very gracious and hospitable. The place is awesome, clean, well maintained, and very comfortable. The location is in the heart of Puerto Rico and you have parking right in front of the residence. Kathy and John are the best hosts I've ever met. If you want to stay in a great place with great people as hosts, you don't have to think twice, this is the place for you.

Excellent! Very clean, and confortable. Well equipped.

Gigi made the reservation process as smooth as can be. She went out of her way to accommodate our arrival and even helped us out with local transportation. Great host, very responsive, goes the extra mile. The house — while a bit out of the way — is a great space for larger groups or families who are looking for a relaxing time. We were a group of 6 and found that we had more than enough room to all be comfortable.

The house was very big. Lots of space. We were a family of 6 and we had a lot of space. The balcony is gorgeous. The house is in Caguas, 35/40 minutes from San Juan. There is a WalMart 20 minutes away for groceries and a smaller market very close by. There is a bakery close by with very good bread. The living room and veranda were definite highlights, and we loved being able to hang out with the whole family inside and outdoors. Being able to eat outside was also wonderful. The house is very spacious, and the downstairs/outside area is gorgeous. Very safe, gated neighborhood. Overall, it was a good experience. However, there were some cons. It was advertised as having Wi-Fi and the owner reassured us in an email that there was wi-Fi but the wifi was sporadic. Also, there is no hot water except in the hall room bathroom. So we all used one bathroom to take a shower. It was also advertised a hot tub overlooking the mountains. There is no hot tub. There is a jacuzzi bath tub in the master bedroom. Kitchen had older appliances, so we used our own, but was very pretty. Power also went out several times. It was a bit difficult to voice the feedback we had, and the owner did not seem pleased when we did. 2 of the guests had less than pleasant interactions when asking questions or inquiring about issues that surfaced, but overall a nice place to stay for a family.

Gigi's place is amazing! She was super friendly and available whenever we needed her! The house is absolutely gorgeous and the scenery made it even better. It was our little oasis for the week! I will definetly be coming back and would recomend it to all of my friends.

We traveled to Puerto Rico with a family of eight traversing 3 generations. Gianna met us at the airport and we followed her to the beautiful hacienda in Caguas. My father was unable to keep up, so she met him at the Wal Mart in Caguas. She also checked up with us through out the week we stayed and gave us pointers about what to do while we traveled around Puerto Rico. We enjoyed staying at the house for 8 nights. It was clean and comfortable. The neighborhood was lovely and was very safe. All of the pictures displayed on the airbnb website are truly what this house looks like. There were no pictures of the outdoor living space on this property provided on airbnb. The bottom floor has two large traditional hacienda outdoor rooms that combined with the indoor space makes this house HUGE!. One of the outdoor rooms has a seating area with a treadmill. The other outdoor room has a dart board, a pool table and a bar. My family all agree that this is the most comfortable vacation home we have stayed in ever! The beds, linens and towels were high quality. The kitchen was well appointed, and the shared living space was roomy and comfortable for all of us. The children spent their time at the house playing Wii, pool and basketball. We also hunted the coqui frog at night with our flashlights. Every morning we were met with a glorious view of the mountains in the distance. We spent most of our time traveling to far flung destinations on the island. We chose this house because of its central location and proximity to the highway. If you are planning to visit the island to explore all of the coasts and the central mountains, I would highly recommend this house. We went to: San Juan is 25 minutes with no traffic, Seven Seas Beach, Fajardo 1 hour ten minutes, El Yunque south park 45 minutes, Cabo Rojo lighthouse and beach, 2 hours Karst Country north coast 1.5 hours, ferry to Culebra Island 50 minutes. Gianna advised us to use (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps and pin our destination. We did, and we were able to navigate to all of the far flung, gorgeous locations listed above. Do not attempt to use anything else, it does not work and you will get lost. Also, drivers beware, Puerto Ricans do not drive like we do on the main land. I would advise you to get additional insurance coverage on your rental car. They are not aggressive, but they are going to get to their destinations irregardless of traffic rules. Finally, we have never met a group of people more hospitable, open, helpful, patient, friendly than the Puerto Ricans we met on this trip. We can't wait to come back to this beautiful island. Finally, Gianna suggested we visit the bakery down the road, and it was so good we brought bread home to enjoy. Thank you Gianna!

Gigi`s place is beautiful with a wonderful view, especially at night from the terrace. It's a great place to relax after a day of sightseeing and only about 30 minutes from San Juan.

Great home and an even better host.

Arturo's wife, Magdalena, was at home when we arrived and made us feel at home immediately after our drive up into the mountains and getting lost (we did not have either a GPS or a smart phone). The bedroom and living room areas are very private with a private entrance, but our hosts were still easy to access. The bed is very comfortable and the view from the deck across to distant mountains is lovely. But the real thing we loved were the conversations with Magdalena, and later with Arturo. Magdalena and my husband and I shared a wonderful meal and stories one evening. We learned a lot from both Arturo and Magdalena about Puerto Rico and Latin culture in general (we're your standard Yankees from Massachusetts). And it was wonderful to be with people who loved classical music so much!

My husband and I had a wonderful time staying with Arturo and Magdalena! They were very responsive to inquiries beforehand, and once we were there, made us feel right at home in their beautiful house. We loved hanging out on their balcony with the beautiful view and talking to Arturo about music and all kinds of things, and getting to know their 3 sweet dogs. The room itself is spacious with a big comfy bed and a nice, well-equipped bathroom right nearby, with easy access so we could come and go as we pleased without worrying about bothering anyone. It's a great place from which to explore the lovely Central Mountains. One thing to note - use (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Maps to get there, NOT Apple Maps (they've improved, but still not reliable in rural areas). Also, try to get there before dark, because there are lots of twists and turns on the narrow mountain roads so it's safer in the daylight until you get used to where you are going. Thank you, Arturo & Magdalena!

A really lovely place to stay -- the setting in the mountains made for a beautiful view. Arturo was very friendly and welcoming.

We had an amazing time at Arturos house. The family is very friendly and helped us as much as possible to get around. The area is far off, so you need a car, but it's great! We would definitely come back!

Great view, great rustic antic home. Arturo and Magdalena treated us like family, but with the privacy we needed. This is a awesome place to recharge your soul with all the nature that surrounds you. If you go out at night be aware that the fog will be available if you want to listen the coqui visit Barranquitas! Love it!

Arturo and his wife were incredible, gracious hosts. Their home and the view from it were spectacular. They helped us find guides to explore San Cristobal Canyon (although weather ended up getting in the way). They were happy to talk with us and give recommendations in the area. The room is very nice and has its own private bathroom. We especially enjoyed hearing the coquis and roosters in the morning, and spending time with their three sweet dogs. Definitely worth venturing off the beaten path!

It was a beautiful exoerience! Arturo is so hospitable and even showed us a waterfall within minutes of the home. The view is spectacular as you relax and take in all of the mountains. The evenings are just as beautiful with the home standing beyond most light pollution to give you a magnificent view of the stars in all there glory. Totally considering to come back.

If there was anything I regret about my trip to Puerto Rico, it's that I only stayed for one night at Arturo and Magdalena's home. My friend and I have never felt so welcomed and entertained the way we did with this beautiful couple. I'd genuinely say our one night here was one of the the most magical evenings of my life. My friend and I woke up the next morning in awe at how much we don't want to leave. We got very lucky that a couple from Quebec was also staying at their home and knew the route to the waterfalls as we descended deep into the canyon together. I've never felt more like Tarzan. I highly recommend taking the hike, it's very much worth the views and the swim at the base of the water falls. That evening, Arturo and Magdalena made us the most delicious Cuban/Puerto Rican/Mexican feast and we all sat around the table enjoying the food, the company, and sharing stories and discussing the world around us until late hours of the night. By the request of the couple from Quebec we even got a private concert on the piano. Prepare to never stop laughing around Arturo. His personality lights up the room and Magdalena's elegance and light preceded her. Arturo made us a delicious coffee in the morning and Magdalena combed and French braided my hair for me. No matter what you do in Puerto Rico, add staying at this home to the list. This will not be the last time I come here, it was too perfect for this to be a goodbye forever.

Everything was more Than perfect! Milly's family is awesome. We had such a great time and they showed us lots of marvellous things. If you want to See the center of Puerto Rico, that' s the place to go!!!

Very caring and lovely family, nice house. Guests are there like long-awaited family members :) It was the best stay in Puerto Rico!

This was our first Airbnb experience, and it was amazing! Milly and her entire family (pets included!) are wonderful, and made us feel at home immediately. We had a blast exploring the local area with them, particularly all the off the beaten-path swimming holes. After 10 days in Puerto Rico, I can certainly say this was one of the highlights of the trip and I am very glad that we ended up staying three nights. If you are planning to stay for just one night, I HIGHLY recommend you reconsider, and plan to stay for longer. You'll be happy you did!

Staying in the mountains of Coamo was quite the scenic pleasure. Milly and her family are a happy, loving, intelligent family and they made us feel a part of their culture.

Our stay with Milly and her family was incredible and completely exceeded any expectations we had going into it. They are warm, generous, and inviting. We immediately felt welcomed and part of the family. The hospitality they showed us was incomparable to anything we ever experienced before. We truly enjoyed talking with and getting to know each of them (and the pets too) Aside from how amazing they are, the space is fantastic as well! The room is very comfortable, clean, and very well equipped. The wifi is great. The property is really lovely... and that view!! Amazing! You could sit out there for hours, just watching the scenery change and listening to the nature around you and not get bored. I miss it already. Back to the family... the boys are absolute gems! The youngest son took my daughter on an unforgettable adventure through the land. The oldest son was there to welcome us and taught us so much. He even took us on the roof to stargaze (where I saw a shooting star!) Milly and her husband are fun, and so incredibly sweet. It's impossible not to leave feeling like you've gained great new friends! Trust me when I say this, you will not want to leave!

The days with Milly and her family were just fantastic for Sandra and me. We may have been guests as guests, but they quickly made us feel like a friend. If you come to Germany, we look forward to welcoming you as friends.

Milly is an incredible host. The room is perfectly clean and the bed is sooo comfy. I know its already written in the other reviens, but believe me, you will wanna stay longer. Great place, clean, amazing view, super host (Milly and all her familly, including the 3 dogs, the rabbit and super pig Arthur!) Let just say that we wish to Come back to Porto Rico and would definitly stay at Milly's.

The location is absolutely gorgeous with a spectacular view of the mountains and all the way to the Caribbean Sea. The facility is clean and comfortable. The family was a pleasure to interact with and Milly was a charming and gracious host. I highly recommend this spot and look forward to going back there again!

This was a cute casita on top of a mountain road. It is hard to find so get good directions. It's very peaceful which is good because the area has gotten very busy and built up. We slept well and felt safe.

Clean, cozy and comfortable spot for a single night. Great views. It was hard to find despite the good directions. When approaching the Kia dealership on your right, the turn to the property appears to be directly into the Kia lot, you skirt the far right side of the dealership property to reach the residential area behind. There is a small sign next to the main road that we didn't see till the third pass... just keep your eyes peeled ;)

Carmelo's place has a beautiful view on top of the mountain. It would be best to check in during the day, cause finding it gets very hairy with the lack of street names. But Carmelo has a great spot which is currently under development. We checked in a little bit after sunset 7/8 pm after driving all day it was hard to find but Carmelo was a good communicator on how to get there (look for Kia dealership) after a few abrupt u-turns to get there. It's far up in the mountains, your with the locals there are a few nice restaurants driving distance but again not too many tourists areas in the area. The room was as accurately described (king bed) with a beautiful deck view however... the tv didn't work, we couldn't even find a remote we tried to turn it on manually but it didn't work. Also there was no glasses or cups or ice in fact the fridge was not on at all which was kind of a bummer. We had been driving all day and just wanted to enjoy a drink and we asked Carmelo for cups and were given small styrofoam shot glasses which was a real let down. All in all decent stay (one eve) the view in the morning was beautiful on the sunny terrace. Tip: Your up in the mountains so just be aware of wildlife my bf went out to the car later in evening and thinks he may have seen a bob-cat (40 lb cat). Thank you for having us!

We very much appreciated the hospitality, scenery and seclusion. Would recommend!

New construction and all new furniture. It was foggy the night we came into town and couldn't believe the view we had in the morning when it cleared up. Carmelo was a great host and I wish him well with the construction of the rest of the hotel.

The place itself was as described. Room was clean and spacious. The location was in the middle of the island, with breath taking views of the hills and country side. It was quiet and the staff was receptive to our requests (toilet paper, towels etc). It was quite a drive along winding hilly roads, but being equidistant to both sides of the island, it allowed us to explore mire of the island (which is what we wanted to do).

We arrived Late at night, it was not an easy place to find!! At check in, they said there was a mix up and the private room that I originally booked was no longer available, and they would refund me the difference for the "lesser" room. I have not been refunded. The first nights stay, we did not have enough hot water for 2 showers. The next night, in the room I originally booked, which was the private terrace was very nice. It had a nice bed, and tv, with a nice bathroom.

Good place close to the ruta panoramica. This place has a good view into the countryside with a nice sundeck.
