Really Lovely place but expensive to eat.

The owner was so friendly and helpful. The hotel is lovely and pool was brilliant for kids. Also the communal kitchen was great to cook in one night. We loved our stay there but would either self cook or eat out as was expensive to eat there.

A friendly, relaxing and comfortable place to stay in Uvita with an excellent chef

Sylvia our hostess was excellent, friendly helpful and generous. Her husband as the chef was highly skilled and produced some amazing Italian food, often cooking to request, which can be accompanied with some excellent Italian wines. Dolce Uvita is a relaxing oasis, created by the wonderful gardens which are alive with birds and butterflies. The pool area is great with areas of shade created by its beautiful garden surround. An outdoor kitchen was available to self cater. Well positioned for the local beaches

Amazing surprise

The place is absolutely beautiful! The garden is stunning and the pool is larger than we gathered from the pictures. The food in the Italian restaurant is out of this world and the owners are very friendly, highly recommend!

Sweet spot if youre not fussy about mattress.

Lovely private spot with sweet gardens, hammocks, pool in the garden. Silvia was very helpful and considerate. Liked the associated Tico food restaurant, didn't try the Italian. Can easily walk to Marina Ballena NP and several restaurants.

Fantastic mini resort run by a great couple.

Dolce Uvita is great location, and definitely likes a small, personal resort. The gardens are pristine, the pool clean and offers two great restaurants. The 'soda' is affordable and offers great food, in addition to various games and a table football, while the Italian restaurant run by the couple running the hotel offers a fully authentic (and fantastic) Italian dining experience. Uvita itself is a great location. I have to thank them once again for the effort they made for my son's 9th birthday, which I'm sure is a memory that will stay with him forever.

A lovely place to stay

This was our favorite stay so far in Costa Rica. Great hospitality, Sylvia was very helpful and Ferdinando a great chef. It’s a good location, close to the beach and there is a pool to relax.

Hosts are really nice, place is great with a nice outdoor kitchen in the lovely garden. Children really enjoyed the swimming pool. At a walking distance from the beach and restaurants. Even a Soda near the hotel (and a restaurantbut we did not try it). These were the last three days of our trip and we really enjoy it!

Helpful host and good facilities

Silva was very helpful and welcoming. She also gave us many tips on the local area She communicated well and we enjoyed speaking with her about the things we had planned. The room was spacious and very comfortable. We also had access to the pool, a fridge, and cooking area which helped save money on some meals.

Great host, authentic experience

The house is very charming and surrounded by a beautiful garden. You can see several species of birds while sitting at breakfast or hanging in the pool. The accommodation is within 10-15 minutes walking of Uvita beach. This is still a quite unspoiled, tropical paradise where you can sit under the palm trees and enjoy life. We were positively suprised. Above all, Sylvia is the nicest host you can have. She helped us with fixing transport, showing the area and told us a lot about the Costa Rican way of life. They also cook great Italian food at their local restaurant. Can recommend if you look for an authentic experience close to nature!

Friendly and good value place

The Italian owners are very friendly and full of information about the area. The hotel is well located, only a 10min walk from the beach. There is a good cafe/bar on site, where you can get food all day. It's good value for money. The air con is good.
