Lovely boutique-style built run hotel. Everything is exactly as described and pictured. We only stayed a night to break a long journey prior to flying out of SJO the following afternoon, but there's plenty to do in the area and it would make a great base if staying a little longer. Very comfortable beds, it was one of our best nights sleep of our trip! We had dinner in Alajuela, about 10 mins drive away with loads of choice, and went back to the town to kill a couple of hours the next day...

We drove to the hotel from San Jose airport. The road is good but lots of bends as you drive up towards Grecia. Our sat nav found it easily. It is in the countryside in a non touristy village (which added to its charm) and we were able to walk to the restaurants. There is a kitchen and dining area where you can get beer or wine and sit and chat to other people. You are surrounded by a lovely garden.

It was a beautiful hotel - it is like a large property surrounded by gardens and villas. The setting on the foothills of the mountains overlooking the Central Valley and surrounded by coffee farms was amazing. It is cool and fresh in the morning and we sat on the veranda enjoying the view with a cup of local coffee. The restaurant serves great food - on a par what that one would find in good restaurants in major cities like London. And finally the staff were all friendly and attentive - we...
