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.

    We stayed here the night before our return flight to London, and wanted a classic and luxurious hotel. The Intercontinental delivered: it felt fairly priced, grand and luxurious in most areas, and very clean. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, the bathroom was great and the Italian restaurant we ate it was very good. Room service was also great.
