The best thing about this property was the people. Everyone was so gracious and pleasnt and helpful. You can tell they love what they do. Our chalet was perfect. They are small, but very comfortable. It was tucked back in a garden, which was fun to walk through . We would definitely go back to this lication.

Perfect all around!!
Amazing stay! We originally booked 2 nights because it was our first time visiting Costa Rica and didn't want to commit to more in one area, but we loved it so much that we decided to stay a 3rd night. Located close to many amazing waterfall hikes, the Poaz volcano, and the La Paz waterfall. Breakfast included was a huge plus, and their dinner menu and quality was excellent! Very nice cottage style home, amazing views, and an excellent staff. Highly recommend!

Fair but not 3 stars
I think this property need to be reevaluated. I don’t think it is worthy of 3 stars. The room was small and the only heat for our cold mountain night was provided by a small space heater that was not adequate. The staff was nice, but the accommodations were sparse.

A fantastic location just outside San Jose, which made for a superb location first few days in Costa Rico. Close to Poas volcanoe La Paz waterfalls and the fantastic Cinchona waterfall trails. Staff absolutely first class; warm welcome and extremely helpful. One bag failed to arrive with oyr party - staff so helpful to ensure airline delivered to chalets within 36 hours.
