Introduction
When my partner, Cambree, and I were planning our month-long stay in Panama, we were on the lookout for a comfortable and convenient place to call home. After exploring various options on popular rental platforms like AirBnB and Priceline, as well as joining local Facebook groups, we stumbled upon an ad for a lovely Casita in El Valle. Intrigued by the area’s inviting climate and allure, we decided to reach out to the owner, Michele, and arrange a viewing. This is how we found a charming stay in an El Valle Casita.

Meeting Michele and Exploring the Casita
From our first interaction with Michele, it was evident that she was not only cordial but also incredibly knowledgeable about the area. She graciously showed us around the Casita, which offered two options: a larger one equipped with its own washer and dryer, and a slightly smaller yet spacious option perfect for a couple like us. We were impressed by the Casita’s amenities, including a well-equipped kitchen, warm water, and reasonable pricing, making it an ideal choice for our initial month-long stay or longer. We decided to stay for a few more months. Cambree and I both love everything about the area making for A Charming Stay in an El Valle Casita.
Comfort and Convenience
Staying at El Valle Casita meant enjoying a range of amenities that made our stay comfortable and hassle-free. Michele provided us with access to a washer and dryer twice a week for laundry, ensuring we always had fresh clothes. Additionally, she offered clean sheets every week, making us feel like we were staying at a hotel. The Casita also provided free WiFi, a cozy double bed, and a separate bathroom for our convenience. For those times when we wanted to cook our own meals, a refrigerator and a 4-burner stove were available.
Location and Accessibility
One of the highlights of El Valle Casita is its convenient location. Situated just off the main road, Routa 71, it is a mere 3-minute walk from the El Valle Market. For grocery shopping, the supermarket El Rey is approximately a 20-minute walk away. In between, there are several small shops, known as Chinitos or Mini Supers, where we could find everyday essentials and food items. The Casita’s proximity to various restaurants also meant that we could easily explore the local dining scene without needing a car.
Exploring El Valle
El Valle offers a plethora of activities and attractions for visitors. If you’re feeling adventurous, bike rentals are available for exploring the area further. Michele, with her extensive knowledge of Panama accumulated over her 17 years of living there, was always ready to provide valuable information and assistance whenever we had questions or needed recommendations.
