Everything was perfect. The place, the people, the food, the location, the animals. Best sleep we had with my partner in Costa Rica. The owners are such great people, helpful, very very friendly, the food for dinner was amazing. The place and the view are breathtaking! Thank you again for everything, we'll come back for sure 🙏

Very nice hotel. Very nicely decorated and comfortable. Tea and coffee in the room with kettle and coffee maker in the small kitennette. Bed was very comfortable. Bedside tables with charging facilities for both plugs and USB. Bathroom was a touch on the small side but adequate for our two nights stay with plenty of towels and toilet papers and shampoo and soap etc. Also had a hair dryer in room. Breakfast was optional with Continental and Rustico( cooked.choices of eggs, bacon, ham, tomatoes and cheese)). With plenty of crusty breads and tasty jams. Staff and owners were very helpful and helped us booked our Tapanti Natinal Park entrance as well as the Irazú volcano entrance. Will definitely come back to the hotel if we are back in this area.

Thanks a lot, you saved us! After a bad experience with another hotel we booked just before arriving late in the evening, there was no other guests in the lodge so the place was actually closed. But within a few min the owner arrived and gave us a great room (spacious, clean with a beautiful view over the mountains the next morning) and an improvised dinner made by the host himself! The breakfast has been also excellent (including eggs, fruit, local cheese, cake, ...)

We love coming to Casa Turire - whether it's for lunch, overnight, or coffee and the amazing desserts (the Sugar Cane Elado is incredible and an original by the chef!). The building has lots of areas to explore, relax, read from, or work from, and our room had a balcony which was gorgeous in the morning. The grounds are gorgeous with trails and beautiful views. The staff were fantastic, and I booked in for a massage which was heavenly, too.

Our stay at Paraiso Quetzal was absolutely amazing! The lodge is surrounded by beautiful cloud forest, offering breathtaking views. The staff were so friendly and helpful, the food was delicious, and we even got to see the famous quetzal! In September, it did get a bit chilly at night, but we were perfectly comfortable with the provided heaters and cozy blankets. It’s a perfect place to relax, enjoy the peace of the mountains, and experience the magic of Costa Rica’s highlands.

This very basic place but situated in exceptional place. If you are looking for hotel in this area you are also interested in quetzales, and here you can see them just from restaurant zone or from balcony. It's cloud forest on the altitude around 2700, so it's pretty cold and hotel is without heating, but they provide a lot of blankets, so it's ok. This place also give you access to well maintained trails in cloud forest, so need to go to National Park ;)

Amazing stay at the lodge. We were at the sunrise lodge and this one was more isolated from the main house which we loved. We saw so many birds in the morning and our stay was magical. The highlight of our Costa Rica trip. Also we hosts are super friendly and available if you have any questions.

Cartago is really a part of the San Jose Central Valley area...

Cartago is really a part of the San Jose Central Valley area and very densely populated, but it is a great gateway to the central mountains and volcanoes. You are close enough to San Jose for day tours but the traffic is horrendous. As soon as you go out of Cartago you will enjoy much less traffic but very windy mountain roads, Just try to avoid this city in the beginning of August when the pilgrimage (Romero) takes place and thousands of people walk to the Basilica of Our Lady of the Angels in Cartago from everywhere in Costa Rica.

Great place to stay outside of San Jose if you have a few days. There is a nice diversity of things to see, all in a loop if you want to. A number of national parks for hiking and sights (Tapani and both parts of Irazu Volcano - Crater Sector & Prussia. Note that the two Irazu sectors are over 10 miles apart and very different. Crater is basically just that and $15 plus they don't tell you it's $5 more to park when you get there. The crater is empty of water, and has been for many years, don't believe the photos, they're old. The hiking in Prussia sector was superb! Additionally, the Orosi Mirador is nice (free), the oldest church in Costa Rica (Ruins - Free), crafts, and the Lankaster Gardens were beautiful. Lots of options for food in Orosi itself.

The lodge is right next to the forest with several walking paths to explore for different levels of difficulty. Tres de Junio is also centrally located between San Gerardo and Santa Maria de Dota, thus making it relatively quick a visit to both as well as other National Parks and trekkings (Tapanti, Los Quetzales and Cerro de la Muerte). Plan for at least 3 nights stay.

5 mins drive down the road from Escalar Cachi, the local climbing area -- basically an outdoor climbing gym, with potable water, toilets, guides, top ropes on most routes, a swimming pool, and a nearby river too. Also includes a camping area. 25 mins drive from Paraiso, 1 hour from Volcan Irazu and the Prusia sector forest. A bit further from Turrialba, which was closed due to volcanic activity / covid when I visited.

The staff was fabulous! The grounds were immaculate.

The staff was fabulous! The grounds were immaculate. Saw some birds in common area. Food delivered to room was pretty good. Hot. What killed us was the room was freezing with no heat or space heater or extra blanket. There was a large very cold bathroom with absolutely no hot water. Wires sticking out of the shower head. No counter or table to place toiletries. Very dark and dank. A small outdoor light fixture with probably 40 watt bulb was way above the tiny sink. No other lighting. No window light. And nowhere comfortable to sit with room. Slat wood bench on front porch and in room. But this location was at better pricing value than a few others we stayed at. Overall, if there had been heat and some warm water I would have doubled my opinion.

We did a tour to the cheesemaking farm Herencia, high up on the slope of the volcano. Getting there via Google maps was a bit tedious but on the way back we got better directions - via Santa Cruz and Torito. The tour is a great experience! On the way back we visited the national monument at Guayabo. We also tried to reach the Aquiares waterfall, but this is a bit difficult to find and we did not get there in time, had to turn back. The last stretch is climbing over big boulders along the riverbed.

A peaceful spot in the mountains.

A peaceful spot in the mountains. It’s a working farm with very friendly owners. We went horseback riding in the trails and enjoyed the home cooked meals. The perfect place to get away and relax with a book or a friend or a bottle of wine or all of the above. The last few km of the road on the ride up is unpaved, rocky and uphill — drive slowly and you will get there!

A small, compact, friendly village in a picturesque valley with easy access to a lovely national park (Tapanti) with its own river. It has it's own public pool and hot springs run by a local hotel. Some good restaurant choices available. Easy access to other areas (Paraiso, Cartago, volcanoes)
