We spent four nights at Casa Di Pietra, part of a 15-day trip we took around Panama. We stayed here on the tail-end of our trip before catching a plane in Panama City. We knew we wanted to stay in El Valle and chose Casa Di Pietra based on the reviews we read here. For the most part, the reviews... More

The hotel is wonderful. It is one man's creative expression. A little bit ship, a little bit castle, a little bit tree-house, good breakfasts and a lovely and gracious host. Whenever I wish to smile, thinking about our stay in such a place will do the trick.

Wife and I stayed two nights at Casa Di Pietra enjoying Luis' great bonhomme hospitality and wonderful cooking. Stayed in one of the two 3rd floor rooms which offered good birding opportunities and views. Relied on the tripadvisor's comments to stay here and glad we did as the comments were accurate. When we return to El Valle we will stay... More

This little inn changed the way we felt about El Valle. The first moment you get there they try to make you feel at home. We were lucky as he was cooking dinner for another couple who were staying there and asked if we wanted to join, well the 2 course dinner was very good and we liked it that... More

We stayed here for two days and it was so charming and beautiful! Hosts Luis and Alfredo were wonderful and the grounds were breathtaking. Luis even cooked up an extra tamale for our eleven month old daughter to take on the road with us. The food and location were wonderful and we had a peaceful and enjoyable stay. Thanks Luis!... More

Very good location, beautiful setting, unique architecture, good quality amenities, superb food, and best of all, a warm, friendly and accommodating proprietor. Our stay in February 2012 during a guided birding tour was delightful. We were served a very good evening meal with wine on the first night of our stay, and had two excellent ‘breakfasts-to-go’, prepared the evening before,... More

this is a very special B & B because of the host, Don Luis. The location is perfect--close to "town" but on a quiet lane set back from the main road. We spent 3 nights there and loved every minute. Luis arranged for a birding expedition with an ornithologist who went to incredible lengths to show us many different species.... More

We came here last August and I never got round to writing the review so here goes! El Valle is a lovely part of Panama, not as touristy as Boquete but with the same cool highland air and luah greenery. This was our last stop in Panama before returning home - we were here just 2 nights. The decor of... More

Casa Di Pietra is hands-down one of the best places I have ever stayed: the house is gorgeous, the food was outstanding, the ambiance was warm and inviting, and most importantly, Luis is the ultimate host! If you plan on staying there, pick a long weekend because you will not want to leave! My wife and I will definitely be... More
