Holiday Rentals in Cartago

This organic farm is a very special place which is hard to find any where else. The host, Luz Gabriel, is very kind and helpfull. He is providing a lot of information about plants and animals living in the area. I wish him all the best for his organic project. The place is also a good starting point to visit the Vulcano early in the morning. The food you are served here is absolutely great.

Fantastic place, really comfortable, excellent wifi, secure parking for the motorcycles, use of the kitchen, even advice on local sights, tours, places to eat etc.

The host was super kind, helpful and friendly. The garden was lovely

I liked how easy the host made the experience of checking in. The place is nice, beautiful and isolated, perfect place to find quiet and peace.

Nice and clean accomadation. Martin was very friendly and helpful.

We travelled across Costa Rica for 2 weeks and stayed at different price ranges. However, when we arrived at the appartement we straight away knew this was the best place we had stayed both because of the friendly owners and the appartement itself. You don't have a view on a waterfall, pool or things like that but that is well compensated by the rest, if you can book 2 nights in one go do it to treat yourself! 10/10

You pay for the stunning views The owners, as usual in this country, are very nice, very kind and helpful. The views from the small living room / kitchen as well as the master bedroom is stunning. The cabin is smaller than we expected and pretty basic. We had very limited water pressure and almost no hot water in the shower. We did not wash our hair, thanks the lack of water we could not have rinsed the soap away. There is no kettle, hence we used the … thing. It resembles a one pot electric cooker and needs approximately 20 minutes to boil half a cup of water. Later that day we where given a kettle, which improved things. Carlos, our landlord, claims the tap water to be fresh mountain water. And up to a specific point he is probably right with that. The specific point will be the tank in which he stores the water. With outside temperature above 20 degrees at daytimes, that tank is a breeding ground for things, micro-biologists are interested in. If those things actually improve your digestion is up to the test. The water from the tap is greenish and I would not use it without boiling. There is no drawer or shelf or anything you could store clothes in. So we used the second bedroom which is packed with a bunk bed and a single bed. Same in the bathroom, no space to put anything. The checkin was massively disappointing. We received a message the night before, that the room was ready for use. So we started our day early and arrived before noon, just to find the entire lodge locked. As there is no cellphone network in the area, we had to borrow a neighbours wifi and sent a message, that was answered hours later. So all we could was sit and wait… With the cabins only modest equipment, the shower with limited water, a health risk assigned to the tap water, I find the cabin with 80 USD we had to pay massively overpriced. But keep in mind: the view is amazing and the landlord very kind.

We booked this lodge for the last 4 nights of our stay in Costarica, only as a place to sleep- as we planned to spend whole days out on excursions. We were actually sorry that we could not spend more time in the lodge itself. It has some lovely outdoor space where you can sit and relax. It also has a common kitchen which is very well equipped, so you can cook your meals there if you wish. There is also a swimming pool, but we did not use it as the weather was quite cold. Room was super clean and comfortable. We loved the local cat which was very friendly and liked to spend her time in the lodge :-) What makes absolute highlight of this lodge, is Ms. Jessica, who provided excellent service to us during our entire stay. She was always so nice and did lot more for us, than she had to! She also speaks very good English so we had no problems with communication. First morning, we ate breakfast in the lodge - the local Gallo Pinto. It was the best breakfast we had in the entire Costarica! Big portion and perfectly cooked and flavoured. You will love it! And the breakfast outdoor seating is very nice. For the rest of our mornings, we were actually leaving very early (around 5 am), and Jessica was so nice that she always prepared for us breakfast and left it in the fridge). If you have rented car, you can park it in front. You can also arrive by public bus (like we did), it is only around 5-10 minutes walk from the bus station. Just be careful, there is no signage with the hotel name, from the street it lookes like someone’s house. If you are at the entrance to the cemetery, you are already too far :-) search for black metal staircase - that is your place.

this place has something like "genius loci" - once you are there, you don't want to leave. We arrive late in the afternoon and there was a tasty dinner for very reasonable price and the owner was exceptionally helpful to all quests and organised a quetzals tour and transportation for us, the days here were the best of Costa Rica

What a extraordinary and lovely place! So many beautiful hummingbirds, everywhere. Staff and owners are the best.
