What a value for the little money spent! There is cable and satellite TV, although most programs are in Spanish. It has a hot shower which is an exception rather than the rule in a normal home here. Although it is cooler in the mountains, it was cozy sleeping in our multi-blanketed beds. We enjoyed dinner at this property and ate the local trout, as it is the freshest fish available in these pristine mountain locations. Very yummy! The cold, clear mountain water is delicious.... no chemicals here! We filled all our water bottles to take with us. We did not eat breakfast at the restaurant as we had a full kitchen. However, we did make use of the provided tea and coffee, which was locally produced and was so delicious that we purchased several bags to take home with us.

    Best hotel and breakfast during our 5 weeks in Costa Rica!! The house resembles like a lovely decorated private villa. Lourie and her maid Miriam are incredibly helpful, welcoming and inspiring. The rooms are cosy, very clean and elegantly decorated like the rest of the house and the wonderful garden. Plus: the hotel is close to the airport but nevertheless quite and there are many good restaurants within walking distance.

    The villas are very cute and cozy, and have private bathrooms, coffee maker, and small refrigerator. Each has a little patio with table and chairs along the edge of a garden courtyard with bubbling fountains, a turtle, and fish. The location is quiet and there are restaurants and small markets within walking distance. The bed was comfortable. And having Netflix was a good perk.

    The staff was very friendly, the villa is beautiful, clean, with big rooms or tiny villas in the garden and the location was perfect for us, the neighbourhood seemed very safe with some embassies around.
