“Simple, clean tiny house on the hill! 5 star view!”
We were there for two nights. The place is for nature lovers. The price and quality is perfect deal. Clean, simple accommodation. Who expect get 5 star resort hotel room please search another accommodation. As I wrote the accommodation for the nature lovers is perfect. You will get stunning views, bird ant other animals sounds.

“Rustic but charming stay in the countryside”
We stayed here for one night and really enjoyed the experience overall. Just be aware of a couple of things if you’re not used to rural accommodations. Access to the property is easy until the last **100 meters**, where the road turns into an unpaved track that climbs up toward the house. In dry weather it’s no problem, but if it rains it may get muddy and a bit trickier to drive. Parking is exactly as described by the hosts — private and free, right in front of their home. From there, you walk about 25 meters up a small grassy path to reach the cabin. The cabin itself matched the photos perfectly — simple, clean, and cozy. Beds were very clean and comfortable, and the fan really helped at night. Just note that this is a rural setting, and the doors and windows are not sealed 100%, which means you will see insects. We saw a few ants, cockroaches, grasshoppers, and even woke up to a large spider on the door. Nothing unexpected for the area, but definitely not ideal if you’re afraid of bugs. Also, there are no mosquito screens on the windows. There is a shared kitchen with a gas stove, cooking utensils, plates, a sink, a kettle for boiling water, and a fridge — everything we needed for basic meals. Breakfast was excellent — scrambled eggs, rice and beans, plantains, fresh coffee — served by the very kind host. Communication with the owners was also smooth and helpful. Overall, a great little rustic stay in nature, clean and exactly as advertised — just be prepared for the insects and you’ll enjoy it!

“We loved staying at El Rustico, with its great views onto the lake and Vulcano. Salomon and his family are very friendly”
The view from the house is unbeatable. You are right in front of the Lake and Vulcano. Salomon and his family are very helpful and friendly.

“Absolutely Incredible 10/10. Pura Vida!”
Incredible friendly host. One of the nicest people we have met in Costa Rica, loads of good local advice and really looked out for us (especially during trickier weather during the rainy season). Amazing location with great views, and loads of awesome things to do within a short distance. We will 100% return here if we have the opportunity, incredible couldn't fault it.
