My husband, daughter and I wanted to stay in a house near San Jose, and this worked out really nicely. The property is just gorgeous with the flowers and greenery everywhere. Eduardo and Betty are so sweet. We paid extra for dinner and breakfast the first day which was a huge help until we could get to the grocery store.I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone elderly or with little kids—no railing on the stairs or paved paths. You need a car to stay here, for sure. And the bed in the main room was so hard we bought an air mattress to put on top of it. But otherwise, it was a wonderful stay! ##### Jennifer J.

Eduardo and Betty make you feel like instant family. They are incredibly sweet and hospitable. There are no words to describe Betty’s cooking; we didn’t want to leave the kitchen. The arepas, Spanish tortilla, and paella were definitely favorites. The fresh, grown on location, coffee was the best (5 bags came home with us!). We appreciated Eduardo’s local knowledge as we hiked and looked for sloths and other wildlife. Grounds were beautiful and accommodations were comfortable. Definitely recommend! ##### Tina S.

They will go out of there way to help you. We stayed here a week for my wife's birthday. They made us feel like we were home celebrating. They bought my wife a cake and we celebrated at a hot spring with his family and friends. Betty's cooking is delicious, she taught my wife how to make homemade tortillas. Ask for the coffee, coffee tea, or the guava juice (which is my favorite). We have now family in Costa Rica and we will be back again. Love you Eduardo and Betty can't wait to see you all again. ##### George F. Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Curtis T.

They responded quickly and helpfully to every need we had, and gave us some fun (delicious) surprises. They are people with whom we hope to continue to cross paths. We might not have paid close enough attention to the listing details, but were surprised that the two bedrooms were in different structures, and the smaller one isn't as big as most couples would want. However, the price is without question a good bargain for the accommodations. We rate the place as top notch. ##### Curtis T. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie F.

This was the least-expensive home we have stayed in. While not luxurious, it was welcoming and comfortable. The gardens are stunning. My husband is a "pacer," and he spent lots of time strolling through the gorgeous hydrangeas, birds of paradise, etc. Hummingbirds and butterflies also enjoy the gardens. Eduardo and Betty are first-rate hosts. They were available without being obtrusive. Eduardo gave us a lesson in coffee roasting, and we brought home the 2 bags we prepared. Betty made us two meals, both wonderful. There are a couple of living spaces. The main lounge seating area is on the outdoor deck. Because of the winds, we weren't able to spend a lot of time there. The kitchen and dining area has table seating, but no couches. Two game tables fill the space. This area also has ample sliding doors that can be opened to gain access to the gardens while also letting in the breeze. I was surprised at how cool it was in the evenings and bought a pair of sweats to change into after the sun went down. This was a wonderful "home base" and we took Eduardo's suggestions for hiking areas within driving distance. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a3ee491c-e844-4bf8-8ea8-0ebe7819109a-1746029379141.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/72848d0d-0def-42d3-96ec-da90d29acea3-1746029378855.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Julie F.

It's difficult to put into words, but guests will understand quickly that even though there are few noises outside of an occasional vaca mooing, or a dog barking in the distance, urban life is only minutes away. They are cordial, inviting, and as far as I know, tolerant. We had some folks over on the last night we were there. I was worried that it was too noisy, but Eduardo and Betty didn't complain. They are very professional. I will be back! ##### Mark S.

Eduardo and Betty are so warm and welcoming from the moment you pull into the gate. This mountainside property offers a view of the volcano, every plant and flower imaginable and a tour of his coffee farm. We then took a walk down to the stream that runs through the property, words cannot express the beauty down there. We sat and had coffee, tea and fresh fruit with them for breakfast and met their pets over fascinating conversation and laughter. We bought their coffee and coffee/tea and were lucky enough to bag our own. Wishing we had more than one night there as Eduardo takes his guests on local tours, he is so knowledgable. MUST STAY in this tropical paradise!! ##### Jenny D. Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023
