The kitchen area was nice, specially having an actual stove and not an electric one and also the bedroom was very nice and cozy, there was also parking inside the property which is great if you have a car, would recommend

“Low quality accommodation. Bad management.”

Not much.

We enjoyed our short stay in the casa. It was lovely and the breakfast was delicious.

My stay with Berna was truly very pleasant. I immediately felt at home, and the cozy room made me feel at home. The accommodation is perfect for a trip to the Irazú volcano. Everything is clean, and Berna is a very friendly host.

Had a great stay with my dog and the host is very friendly.

“A wonderful base from which to explore Cartago and the Volcano”

The host was super kind, helpful and friendly. The garden was lovely

“Fantastic value for the high standard Casa Irazu offers.”

The two most important things to me are the helpfulness of the owner and the comfort of the accomdiations and I give 5* rating on both measures. Berna is a lovely lady and provides lots of good advice and excellent recommendations. The property is her old family home and has a genuine Spanish appeal with a combination of wood and tile providing a very warm atmosphere. Guests have the full use of the kitchen to prepare their own meals and a dedicated shelf in her fridge. The bedroom was comfortable with a separate entrance to a front patio overlooking lush landscaping. The property has a solid wooden door at the front proving excellent security. Berna has a deep concern for her guests. I was a bit late coming home one evening and she messaged me to make sure I was OK. Fantastic vale for the quality that Casas Irazu offers guests. Thank you Berna for your kindness and hope we meet again.

Wow! This Casa is like a fairy tale house ! Beautiful , cozy, and comfortable, very quiet .Berna is an excellent host..she speaks a little English... much much better than I speak Spanish .. great place to stay for a night or a few days. Her casa is far enough away from the city center to have the feeling you're in the countryside but close enough to get there quickly by taxi .

Excellent host.

Loved everything about the place, the rustic style of the house with all its beautiful details, the big garden, the tidiness and cleanliness. The host Berna is very amiable and helpful, she showed a lot of patience explaining me the surroundings, bus lines etc. despite my poor Spanish skills. Also Berna helped me in my special situation since I had to stay somewhere else for a night and then return. It was no problem to leave most of my stuff there, despite me not actually paying for that one night. 100% recommended if want to explore Cartago and its surroundings, like the Irazú Volcano!

the owner kindly helped us with the e-reservation needed to visit Irazú Park and booked cheaper transport locally

“Nice homestay with really nice family”

Really nice owner and family, good kitchen and fridge to use, and nice bed. We felt like part of the family staying there. Can do laundry and both a dryer and plenty of space for hanging. We extended our stay by a couple of nights which was straightforward and handy. We also got to try some of their gallo pinto which was great :)

Cleanliness, private parking space, garden, big room with confy bed, nice bathroom, very nice host Berna and her family.

Nice room at the house of a lovely older lady that speaks little bit of English but the communication was perfect still. The room is big enough for a couple. The bathroom is shared with the other guests. Couple of nice restaurants in the walking distance as well

“Lovely homestay with great host and cuddly dog”

Really comfy house and room with nice veranda, super equipped kitchen and private parking spot

“Wonderful family experience”

A lovely family feeling. It has everything you need and a very warm welcome. Open kitchen and we were offered a tasty soup with the whole family. Really kind. Nice seats on the terrace. Parking space inside. Especially wonderful if you are alone or staying longer because the Señora is so kind, open and would help with anything. Highly recommend it for an oasis in Cartago. The city centre is also pleasant with some antique buildings.

We stayed one night before our trip to Irazu. They allowed an early check in as well as keeping the luggage the next day until afternoon, so we do not have to keep it in the car unprotected. The owner and her son is very kind, told us many interesting information about the location, gave us tips and so on. Car parking possible on the spot. Very clean.

“excellent stay”

Kindness, family-atmosphere, cleanliness

“Good price:value facility near Parque Irazu”

Spacious room with a double bed below and a single bed above, can easily accommodate 3. The room is well prepared for the colder nights around Cartago. Toilet is shared and very clean, as is the room. There is a great reading lamp near the bed and a shared veranda with armchairs looking to the garden, nice to sit down for breakfast or dinner. The well-equipped kitchen and fridge can be used and Berna, the owner, leaves coffee done every morning. She is a school teacher for ethics, stands up very early and returns home at around 5 pm. She is really nice to talk to and ready to help or advice on options around. The house has a recycling policy and offers plenty of different containers to dispose of garbage. The address can be easily found in google maps (coordinates are correct). Calle 0 is far from central Cartago but conveniently located near the main road that goes to Parque Nacional Irazu. There are several restaurants close to the house, and a supermarket Maxi Paly at less than 1 km.
