Cristina and her mother made us feel truly welcome. The breakfast was delicious and fulfilling. We loved the cabin surrounded by lush nature, and saw some beautiful birds. It took less than 20 minutes to go to Poas volcano by a steep paved road.

Not far from Poás volcano. The shorter road is quite steep but not the worst I had in Costa Rica I think it only took me just over 5 minutes. This was the most comfortable bed from all the places I stayed at. And the cabin is so very nicely built and decorated that you can tell that the quest's comfort is the priority for the hosts.

Definitely all. Before arrive you recieve all necessary details to easily find the place. The spend the night in the house like that is extraordinery experiance. Land lady Cristina is absolutely awesome person who shows you their farm next morning. To Volcano Poas it takes 45min, if you have 4x4 than 20min.
