“Staying on the working farm was a really unique and enjoyable experience. Being able to pick and eat fresh fruits from the farm during the days was a real treat as was having the opportunity to try some things we had never eaten before.
The breakfast that was [available] every morning was delicious and included a variety of fresh fruits and granola made on the farm as well as a plate with eggs with a side of vegetables. Having access to the covered outdoor kitchen was great when we wanted to cook and the town of Balgue just down the road had a few other great places to eat when we felt like going out.
All in all it was just a really great experience and an ideal location to experience what the island has to offer.”
““Eco-Luxury in the jungle
If you want to try something out of the ordinary Selvista Guesthouses is definitely something for you! We stayed in one of their rooms which actually is a small house with a beautiful view of Volcano Conception and was definitely worth the higher price.
Everything that is served is from their own farm and you are even encouraged to go around and pick your own fruits, vegetables etc. and use it to cook meals on your own in the outdoor kitchen. We picked some for a smoothie which is pretty cool. Furthermore, the farm-tour given by Megan is amazing and very educating about permaculture and the whole history of the place.””

“You will never go hungry staying at this property as there are abundant tropical fruits and organic greens that you are welcome to harvest and prepare fruit or garden salads in the open air, fully complemented communal kitchen.
The included farm fresh breakfast was wholesome and delicious and offers open cup organic coffee and garden lemon grass tea. The fresh picked fruit bowl in the kitchen was always full and you are welcome to select what you want to take along on your daily island explorations.
The host Megan and local staff were kind and helpful and took the time to acquaint my son with the wide variety of fruits growing on the property and to explain the infrastructure and watering system in place to support the fresh herbs and greens growing in the gardens.
The highlight of our stay was getting up early on our last morning and selecting fresh lettuce, spinach and herbs from the garden and with the assistance of local breakfast chef Brenda, putting together a scrumptious garden salad to share with the other guests and staff.
Selvista Eco farm is an amazing educational opportunity for anyone who wants to see sustainable and organic practices in place and fully functioning, with the benefit of enjoying the bounty and incomparable taste of fresh harvested organic fruit and produce.”
