“Fantastic! Do not hesitate!”
We were very positively surprised! To start, the view from our room was beautiful (make sure you wake up for sunset!)! Spacious and clean room in a peaceful area (we were woken up only by the swallows). Big kuddo for the shower, the best pressure and "termales" feeling we had in the country! Convenient restaurant on site, with excellent food including vegetarian options. The garden was gorgeous. We spent a bit of time admiring the nearby wildlife it attracted. We also enjoyed the accessible small trails around. Helpful staff and particularly friendly and accommodating owners.

Hermosa casa de campo a solo 10 min de Santa Cruz de Turrialba. Preciosa vista, estilo rústico y acogedor, personal amable. Perfecto para escaparse un fin de semana.

Thanks a lot, you saved us! After a bad experience with another hotel we booked just before arriving late in the evening, there was no other guests in the lodge so the place was actually closed. But within a few min the owner arrived and gave us a great room (spacious, clean with a beautiful view over the mountains the next morning) and an improvised dinner made by the host himself! The breakfast has been also excellent (including eggs, fruit, local cheese, cake, ...)

“Gorgeous place”
Beautiful grounds and fantastic views of the mountains. The rooms are cozy. The staff is super nice and accommodating. On one of the mornings we had to leave very early so they gave us our breakfast to-go the night before.

Wonderful stay with high hospitality close to Guayabo National Monument, Irazu Volcano and Turrialba Volcano (when it will reopen in July)! Great valley view too, delicious food as well and the room was great! Big thanks!

“Beautiful surroundings, cool lodge, nice people.”
One of the most beautiful places we stayed. I really liked the property and great hike near the base of the volcano. Even though I didn't give this place a perfect review, I'd definitely go back.
