This was a great little tucked away spot that made you feel like you were surrounded by nature. The sounds of the ocean in the house was very soothing and the ocean breeze kept things cool throughout the day. The back porch was an excellent spot to have your morning cup of coffee with an ocean view and catch the sunrise while at the same time viewing some beautiful birds in the nearby trees. Mosquitoes were not an issue for us at all and if they would have been the screened double doors would still allow you to enjoy the ocean breeze and view from inside.
We walked, biked, and got a taxi into town and all were very comfortable/convenient. While the taxi was inexpensive we would recommend biking. It is a quick and easy ride. We used a taxi only at night and after it had rained and the roads were a little wet/muddy.
Surprise (cat) and Marley (dog) would pay us a visit from time-to-time when we were outside and they were both very friendly. We felt very comfortable around both of them. Val and Jose were the caretaker and groundskeeper and both were also super helpful and friendly.
We had an excellent stay and would definitely recommend Finca to anyone visiting Placencia!
