Michael

Michael was friendly and accommodating. He picked us up at the bus and offered is a little when we were leaving again. The house is big, nice and very clean. We have 2 good nights with total peace and opportunity to relax. Orosi is close and reachable by bus - it is easy.

Lovely place to begin a Costa Rican holiday, a few kms from Paraiso with a kitchen I could make a little meal and look out on the garden and grounds. Michael stayed up late to give me the keys and answered questions about the area quickly. After traveling the hot shower was most appreciated and the Wi-Fi was strong. Very comfortable bed although in a hot spell a fan would be nice. They have dogs but they are within their part of the property not accessing the Casita. A very relaxing home base for a couple of days! Plus a small world connection which was fun.

It was beautiful and Michel very kind. We enjoyed everything.

A pretty cottage, decorated in colonial style with all the important utensils, in a beautiful huge garden with a fantastic view to the Orosital, part of the Cachi reservoir and the mountains beyond. And extremely hospitable and very helpful landlords. Can only be recommended!

A little gem in the Orosi Valley. Nothing is missing here! In an upscale, pleasant and above all very safe residential area, this casita is located in the middle of a magical garden, next to the residential building from the landlord Michael. This was extremely accommodating, friendly, helpful and pleasantly discreet, and provided us with all kinds of good tips for the area. We will definitely come back!

Our stay was to our complete liking. Nice place, safe, quiet and neat. Michael and Ani are very nice. Excellent treatment.

The casita is wonderfully quiet and has a lovely garden which we were happy to use. It is about 700 m to the bus stop. We felt very comfortable and would be happy to come back.

Michael was a great host, quick to respond to questions, gave useful information about the area, and we would return . Pura Vida !

Michael’s casita, while spartan, was very clean, private, and comfortable. It is a secure property located close to the beautiful town of Orosi, which offers many restaurants and shops, but for me, the location was great because it was centrally located in the Central Valley - which offers many vistas, (one of the best being right at the back of Michael’s property where one can view all of the Orosi Valley and the Mountains behind) challenging hikes in and around Tapanti national park, and a peaceful atmosphere. And trips to the beach or other attractions are generally within a couple of hours drive, so I was able to both take in the fantastic beauty of the mountains and the Central Valley, yet drive to the Pacific or Carribean coasts easily. Michael was a great host. Super nice guy who with 15 years as an ex-pat living in Costa Rica had tons of local knowledge and solid experience with the whole of Costa Rica.

This accommodation is worth the money. Mike and his wife are hospitable people, they help on any issue. There are some drawbacks, including a large number of dogs around, but this is more of a feature of Costa Rica in general. Also a feature is a flowing shower (hot water is heated flowing). The kitchen and bathroom sink only have cold water. All necessary utensils are included. A place with great air and backyard views. If you have a small budget and want to live in the mountains - we recommend. Nearby is the city of Paraiso, where you can find all the necessary products. Thank you Mike!

It is a beautiful place, enjoyed my stay

Great welcome! The traditional house is very well located for visiting tourist sites but also going up into the mountains , riding on the slopes, to dazzle beautiful views and meet the very smiling locals. The house is located in a nice neighborhood with views of Cachi, Orosi. We would recommend a stop at Michael and his wife's!

Michael's house is a little corner of paradise. I stayed there for over a month and there is everything you need for an excellent stay: a well-equipped kitchen for preparing meals, good internet, calm, morpho butterflies and a magnificent view! The property is close enough to the main road to be able to walk there, but far enough to not hear passing cars. Michael and Ani speak both english and spanish et are really extremely attentive, but without being intrusive: they will do everything in their control to respond to your possible requests. I had a wonderful time and I will come back for sure. 1000% recommended!

We stayed just for two nights but enjoyed our stay. Michael was very friendly and offered his help but also respects his guest's privacy. The cabin looks small from the outside but it's pretty spacious inside, beautiful and it was VERY clean. The garden is very nice and we watched the sunrise over the Orosí valley. Highly recommended!
