Carla Veltman & Eduardo Gomez, Netherlands. Owners of Villa Imani.

My name is Carla Veltman. My husband is Eduardo Gomez and our darling dog is called Stella. We currently live in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.We decided in late 2007 to travel to Costa Rica to discover for ourselves if everything we'd heard was true. We arrived in March and spent a month in Nosara. All three of us greatly enjoyed the beach. April found us in the Arenal area. We were fortunate that our travel agent found Villa Vagabundo for us and thus we met the Mora and Ruiz families. We fell in love with the Arenal area and asked Olman Mora to please show us around. We were curious to see what the area could offer us. We found Olman to be extremely professional while warm and friendly. He listened to our wants and needs and only showed us properties that fit within our requirements. To make a long story short, we are now the proud owners of a bit of Costa Rica. We bought a finca near Tierras Morenas and are more than pleased. We could not have done any of it without the help of the Moras and Ruizs. What could have been a bureaucratic nightmare was a breeze. We agreed to purchase the land on Saturday and Tuesday found us in the lawyers office signing the necessary papers. We also acquired a corporation at the same time. Laura Mora was very instrumental in helping us establish two bank accounts, one personal, and one for our new corporation. Margarita Mora is our treasurer. I'm writing this from Amsterdam. Unfortunately we had to leave the land of Pura Vida to close down our lives in Europe. In our absence, both the Mora and Ruiz families continue to represent us. They will be overseeing the building of our house, the digging of a well, ICE installations, the moving of poles, I could go on and on. Without them, we would have had numerous difficulties. With them at our side, I know with confidence that we while we end our lives in Europe, they are doing all that needs to be done to start our lives in the land of Pura Vida!
