The garden is exactly as seen in the photos: lots of green space, good views, the trails are accessible, and the spaces are very nice. The whole place is well maintained: clean beds, organized bathroom and kitchen, trimmed and very nice-looking shrubs and plants. My children enjoyed playing in the garden and walking to the river. My wife and I were able to relax in the hammocks. Jackson helped us with the concerns we had and responded super quickly to our needs. In short, a very nice experience!!

El jardín es exactamente como se ve en las fotos: mucha área verde, buenas vistas, los senderos son accesibles y los espacios son muy bonitos. Todo el lugar está bien cuidado: camas limpias, baño y cocina organizados, arbustos y flora recortados y de muy buen aspecto. Mis hijos disfrutaron de jugar en el jardín y caminar hasta el río. Mi esposa y yo pudimos relajarnos en las hamacas. Jackson nos colaboró con las inquietudes que tuvimos y dio respuesta súper rápida a nuestras necesidades. En resumen, muy bunea experiencia!!

One of the most wonderful places to stay in Heredia! The property is beautiful, peaceful, and incredibly relaxing. The room was very comfortable, the bed was excellent, and the views were absolutely amazing. The grounds are lovely for taking peaceful walks and enjoying the serene atmosphere. We only stayed for one night, but we truly enjoyed every minute of it. Whether you're passing through for a night or planning to stay for a week, this is a perfect place to unwind, enjoy delicious Costa Rican coffee, take in the beautiful scenery, and experience the wonderful weather. We would happily stay here again if we have the opportunity.

Very nice and beautiful place! The view was amazing and the house was cozy. We had an amazing stay and would 100% come back

Lovely grounds and beautiful  views! Grounds manager is very responsive and helpful. We enjoyed our stay! It was peaceful and just what we needed.

It was a breathtaking experience. The accommodation is very spacious and equipped with every comfort. It also offers a view of the San Jose skyline.  From the spacious terrace, you can enjoy all the bird sounds, wonderful! The coffee is excellent, and we enjoyed the large botanical garden. It was the best location to start our road trip.

Het was een adembenemende ervaring. Het verblijf is zeer ruim en van alle gemakken voorzien. Daarnaast biedt het een uitzicht over de skyline van San Jose.  Vanaf het ruime terras kan je genieten van alle vogelgeluiden, heerlijk! De koffie is uitstekend en we hebben genoten van de grote botanische tuin. Het was de beste locatie om onze roadtrip te beginnen.

The property is exactly as described in the advertisement. In fact, the pictures don’t do the property justice! The hard part for me was finding the property because of lack of street signs and problems with my cell phone. The property is in a semi rural area. You definitely should not try to find at night. It didn’t help that my Spanish was very rusty! A hidden gem for sure.

Great place to stay.Beautiful coffee garden.

We stayed at Phil's place for just one night before continuing on to the Caribbean coast. We felt very comfortable. The view in the morning was wonderful!

Wir waren nur für eine Nacht in der Unterkunft von Phil, bevor wir weiter an die Karibikküste gefahren sind. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Der Ausblick in der Früh war wunderbar!

The place is too beautiful and very attentive

Good afternoon Phil, We’ve loved what you’ve done to glorify this beautiful land 🌲 ☕️ We had time for the soul enjoying a private spot with such coziness. Thank you for having us! Pura vida!

Just what we were looking for to spend a few quiet days between nature and the mountains. It was really beautiful. Communication was very quick and super friendly. Thank you for everything

Justo lo que estábamos buscando para pasar unos días tranquilos entre la naturaleza y montaña. De verdad que fue muy hermoso. La comunicación fue muy rápida y súper amable. Gracias por todo

This place is absolutely gorgeous. Even nicer than what you see in the listing. We didn’t want to leave. It was so peaceful and felt like home.

More than just a beautiful place, there are just so many areas to visit, check, admire, rest and breathe in the property. Everything was impeccable and way better than in the photos and descriptions. There are no words to describe how excellent the stay in this place is! Not only for couples but for family getaways as well.

Sehr schöne Aussicht , schöne Tierwelt.

A win, we enjoy staying at Phil’s Airbnb.

Beautiful property and priced well for the amenities.

Property manager was kind and responsive. The grounds are incredible! Lovely paths and a great view. Very creative with lots of viewing platforms and peaceful pockets with mosaic benches. Sadly, the house itself is less welcoming. Decor and layout were underwhelming considering the attention to detail on the grounds. Nothing a few throws, pillows and decorative items wouldn’t fix. And perhaps some earplugs to drown out the barking dogs next door. Still, the outside more than makes up for these few “flaws.” Thanks for a nice stay.

Nice space, Phil helped us out in time, beautiful gardens. The place is just like the photos.

Espacio agradable, Phil nos solucionó a tiempo, jardines hermosos. Lugar como las fotos.

It a nice place with great views, two decks, nice tropical fruit trees around the property. Quiet and nicely located. Clean and comfortable place. Walking amenities and a little river yo enjoy. Never meet the host but was responsive. Self check in. Thanks.

The apartment does not match what is shown in the photos, it was dirty, had no view, was messy and had no privacy. It is a building of 2 apartments, one on each floor, within a property with a main house and located in the village of San Isidro. The apartment has no view, and you never feel like you're in the mountains, which was our intention. We decided to go for what we saw in the photos and the positive reviews. However, we only stayed 5 minutes and we returned. We couldn't stay in a dirty, smelly place, we didn't even want to see the surroundings. Sleeping was not an option. We see that Airbnb responded and they will refund us the reservation. Once the owner let us in, he didn't want to know more and didn't answer anymore. We don't recommend it at all, and we find it incredible that there are so many positive reviews of the property

El apartamento no corresponde con lo mostrado en las fotos, estaba sucio, no tenía vista, desordenado y sin privacidad. Es una construcción de 2 apartamentos uno por cada planta dentro de una propiedad con una casa principal y que se encuentra en el pueblo de san Isidro. El apartamento no tiene vista, y jamás sentirse en la montaña, que era nuestra intención. Decidimos ir por lo que vimos en las fotos y por las reseñas positivas. Sin embargo solo estuvimos 5 min y nos regresamos. No podíamos quedarnos en un lugar sucio, mal oliente, ni siquiera quisimos ver el entorno. Dormir no era opción. Rescatamos que Airbnb respondió y nos van a reembolsar la reservación. El propietario una vez que nos permitió el ingreso no quiso saber más y no contestó más. No lo recomendamos para nada, y nos parece increíble que hayan tantos comentarios positivos de la propiedad

Unfortunately, the place was not ready at the agreed check-in time and I had to wait 2 more hours. Later, I requested to check out 2 hours later, but the host did not respond.

Lamentablemente el lugar no estaba listo a la hora acordada de check-in y debí esperar 2 horas más. posteriormente, solicité hacer check-out 2 horas más tarde, pero el anfitrión no respondió.

The place was too expensive for what we got in return. The TV had no control remote. The wifi didn’t work and when the issue was raised we got no attention. The description of the place said that pets were allowed. After checking out the owner wanted to charge us extra for cleaning the room because of pet odor. Terrible experience. I do not recommend it.

This a retaliatory review - because damages were requested form the guest. This guest stayed with us for one week...  several days later returned for a second week. If the stay was so terrible why did he return? You don't return after a bad experience.

The gardens were a wonderfully peaceful respite. It was like taking a vacation while on vacation. The room was great, as described, and even had a dehumidifier available. The property is away from the city (we were able to Uber in and out of the city without too much issue - just a delay in finding a driver one night. We loved exploring and having our morning coffee in the gardens. We didn’t meet Phil, and we weren’t able to get a gate opener for our stay, but it worked out OK with two of us (one to drive the car and the other to get out and operate the gate).

A very comfortable place, quiet and clean. A very friendly and polite host who makes sure the guest has a pleasant stay. I recommend it.

Un lugar muy cómodo, tranquilo y limpio. Un host muy amable y educado que procura que el huésped tenga una estancia placentera. Lo recomiendo.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft zu einem guten Preis

A beautiful place, super well-kept gardens, very nice service

Un lugar bellísimo, jardines super cuidados, muy linda atención

Phil was very friendly and cool.  This place is awesome with beautiful gardens to walk and chill with views of mountains and the city. Would stay again, no brainer.

We loved this place in San Isidro, perfect weather. Views and house are too nice! Thank you very much Phil for your attention and for giving us a space for the preparations of our wedding

Nos encantó este lugar en San Isidro, clima perfecto. Las vistas y la casa son demasiado bonitas! Muchas gracias Phil por su atencion y por brindarnos un espacio para los preparativos de nuestra boda

We really enjoyed staying with Phil. He was very kind and nice. The place is beautiful, the garden is very beautiful. We really enjoyed with our pet the property is large and very well cared for.

Disfrutamos mucho hospedarnos con Phil. Fue muy amable y agradable. El lugar es hermoso, el jardín muy bello. Disfrutamos muchísimo con nuestra mascota la propiedad es grande y muy bien cuidada.

Great again! I hope to return. Great hosts!

My stay at Phil's place was truly a highlight of my 2.5 years living in Costa Rica. The gardens are an absolute masterpiece. Every corner is thoughtfully designed with cosy seating areas and little stools where you can simply relax and soak in the tranquility. If you are a meditator this place is a dream come true! There are also multiple viewing platforms offering stunning views of the valley and the surrounding forest. The vast array of plants, fragrant blooms and the sound of birdsong create a truly magical atmosphere, especially in the morning sunshine. Phil was an exceptional host, welcoming to both myself and my dogs. They thoroughly enjoyed exploring the grounds, rolling on the lawns and visiting the river at the property's edge. The guest house itself was clean, comfortable and well-equipped with everything I needed. The sun-drenched patio was a perfect spot to unwind. An idyllic tropical haven! I would definitely stay again.

Awesome place to relax, have a good time and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Heredia , best sunset in the GAM! Phil was great, super helpful and easy to work with!

Great place to stay if you’re looking for a nice place and quiet close to the gam

The place was beautiful.  The pictures don’t do it any justice.  The meditation garden was very beautiful and peaceful.  The bed was very comfortable.  If we ever come back this way we would surely stay here again.

My second time at this place and I will continue to visit it whenever I can. It is beautiful much better than the photos. Highly recommended for clearing and finding peace. Very familiar!!!

Mi segunda vez en este lugar y seguiré visitandolo cada vez que pueda. Es hermoso mucho mejor que las fotos. Súper recomendable para despejarse y encontrar paz. Muy familiar!!!

Amazing place,  great property,  beautiful gardens and host was always attentive to our inquiries . This place is perfect to get out of the ordinary and experience a piece of heaven on earth!

Guests will enjoy the accommodations and neighborhood. So beautiful!

A beautiful place, close to San Jose, but with the privacy of the countryside. The gardens are spotless, definitely a perfect place to rest outside the bustle of the city. I recommend it for those who want to spend a time of peace and quiet with their partner.

Un lugar hermoso, cerca de San José, pero con la privacidad del campo. Los jardines están impecables, definitivamente un lugar perfecto para descansar fuera del bullicio de la ciudad. Lo recomiendo para quienes quieren pasar un tiempo de paz y tranquilidad con su pareja.

Loved walking the coffee meditative gardens with many tucked in areas to sit. Property is peaceful and beautiful while being nicely located for access to activities and restaurants. Host suggestions very helpful Thanks

Phil was excellent at giving directions and instructions about how to find his place. The housing was very good. The coffee ranch is a beautiful spot with incredible gardens and lovely place to rest, relax and enjoy the view. I highly recommend this place.

Beautiful and cozy place and the meditation gardens are simply spectacular, the best of the photos falls short in portraying the beauty of the place… you have to live it personally. More than recommended!!!

Lugar bello y acogedor y los jardines de meditación son simplemente espectaculares, la mejor de las fotos se queda corta en retratar la belleza del lugar… hay que vivirlo personalmente. Más que recomendado!!!

Excellent place, much better than expected and much nicer than what's shown in the photos. Phil's attention was always very cordial, friendly and attentive. The garden is beautiful!

Excelente lugar, mucho mejor de lo esperado y mucho más lindo de lo que se ve en las fotos. La atención de Phil fue siempre muy cordial, amable y atento. El jardín es bellísimo!

the place is too nice quite far from the city, but easy to get, the house is super clean and super cozy, the place has a very nice estate and the coffee that is produced is very good, the host is super nice

el lugar es demasiado lindo bastante alejado de la ciudad, pero fácil de llegar, la casa super limpia y super acogedora, el lugar tiene finca muy linda y el café que se produce es muy bueno, el host es súper agradable

Phil is an incredible host. His passion for coffee, willingness to accommodate, and genuine hospitality are the true takeaways of our time in Costa Rica. With beautiful views of San Jose, volcanos, and surrounding mountains, it’s easy to lose track of time in the many hideaways tucked into the manicured gardens. Try the oranges from the orange grove; they are some of the best in the world. Wishing Phil and his team all the best and look forward to coming back soon!

Phil’s place is absolutely extraordinary! The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals and homes very clean and tidy. The yard is also so beautiful! The meditation gardens an absolute dream! Phil, Elena, and Jackson are so friendly, helpful, and amazing. Literally the most beautiful space we have stayed so far during our trip to Costa Rica. Private and safe home and coffee gardens. We can’t recommend this space enough. We are so thankful for our time here.

Excellent place, and the green areas 💚

It is a beautiful location, the gardens are superb and the tranquil surroundings were much appreciated. Phil was an attentive host and we appreciated the generosity shown to us. We enjoyed our stay.

The place is wonderful, the weather perfect,  the atmosphere is great and the perfect accommodation. Phil is a perfect host, immediate service. The green areas are safe and very well designed. The place is great for resting, meditating, passing the family, all very well equipped. We really had a good time.

El lugar es maravilloso, el clima perfecto,  el ambiente genial, el hospedaje perfecto. Phil es un anfitrión perfecto, la atención inmediata. Las zonas verdes seguras y muy bien diseñadas. El lugar es ideal para el descansar, meditar, pasar el familia, todo muy bien equipado. Realmente la pasamos muy bien.

Cozy cottage up in the mountains. Be prepared for cooler weather though as it’s much cooler there than in Heredia

Large accommodation with a beautiful landscaped garden. We stayed there for only one night and did not meet the host, so unfortunately we didn't learn much about his coffee cultivation.

Grosse Unterkunft mit schön angelegten Garten. Wir waren nur für eine Nacht dort und haben den Gastgeber nicht angetroffen, daher haben wir leider auch nicht viel über seinen Kaffeeanbau erfahren.

Great location only 25 minutes from Escazu (without traffic) with spectacular views of the city from the lookout tower (perfect spot for morning coffee, or watching the sunset with a glass of wine). Very easy to get into, and communication was very clear and fast. I booked this the morning of the day I came, arrived around 8pm, no trouble at all. Will definitely be back.

Lovely property on a coffee farm. We enjoyed the views, the beautiful grounds, and walking the property. The apartment was exactly as pictured and very comfortable. We especially loved having a huge yard as we were traveling with our dog.

Lovely space, great views. Super friendly host. We will be back. A note for future guests: BYO soap and shampoo.

We were only there one night! Phill is super nice and very helpful. The accommodation is a very nice location and has a great garden for a morning walk. A jogging session in the neighborhood is also possible! Perfect for a stopover to the Caribbean coast! Thanks ☺️

Wir waren nur eine Nacht dort! Phill war super nett und sehr hilfsbereit. Die Unterkunft ist ein einer sehr schönen Lage und hat einen tollen Garten für einen morgendlichen Spaziergang. Eine Joggingrunde ist in der Nachbarschaft ebenfalls gut möglich! Perfekt für einen Zwischenstopp an die Karibikküste! Danke ☺️

My wife and I live by the beach  in Costa Rica (where it’s been very hot) and wanted to get away for a few days. We were looking for a place we could take our 2 dogs and Phil’s place looked like a good choice. Man were we wrong - it turned out to be a fantastic choice!  Cozy and comfortable - back off the road so it was quiet and we slept like babies. Our dogs had lots of room to run around  & explore and we felt comfortable letting them out. The coffee garden is a wonderful oasis for a daily walk. We didn’t meet Phil but Josh was a tremendous host - friendly and responsive, he took us for our initial tour of the coffee garden and was pleasant to speak with. We’ve stayed in a lot of places but are looking forward to making a return visit to the coffee garden again in the future!  Thank you Phil & Josh!

Phil has a couple of nice, comfortable guesthouses. The garden is large and very well kept. There are beautiful forests to go for a walk nearby. The temperature in April is excellent. Phil is friendly.

Phil tiene un par de casas de huéspedes bonitas y cómodas. El jardín es grande y muy bien cuidado. Hay bosques bonitos para ir a caminar en las cercanías. La temperatura en abril es excelente. Phil es amigable.

We stayed at Phil's place for the convenience to the Toucan Rescue Ranch. However, you should plan on a rental car, taxi, or Uber for getting around. The directions are very clear, and we had no difficulty finding the place or checking in. The grounds are beautiful, and the place is very secure and private. We appreciated having access to a washer and dryer as well. After an initial problem with the internet, it worked reliably for the rest of our stay. The shower temperature and pressure were also very good. On the downside, there was an overwhelming musty smell, a lack of cleanliness (hair in bathroom sink, hair and debris on bed sheets, bugs/dust around perimeter of room), and updates were needed (stained furniture, funky caulk around kitchen sink). These issues stood out compared to the three other places we stayed in Costa Rica,

I am glad you found it easy to arrive and loved our beautiful grounds and appreciated having a washed and dryer and a shower with very hot water and excellent water pressure.

Phil is a great host and the grounds are views are breathtaking.  We will be back

Phil’s place was exactly as described. It’s a clean, safe and a secluded oasis in a bustling city. We thoroughly enjoyed walking through the beautiful coffee gardens and found a few excellent restaurants within a 10 min drive. Phil was communicative and even dropped in to say hello and ask if we had everything we needed. One thing to note for future travelers, you’re not walking distance to anything of significance. We were happy we had a car as most cafes, restaurants and a few attractions are 10-15 min drive away, including the highlight of our time in the San Isidro area: The Toucan Rescue Ranch; a must-visit!

Everything was great. I can only recommend this place. Phil was very nice and warm. The perfect start to our trip in Costa Rica!!

Alles war super. Kann diese Unterkunft nur empfehlen. Phil war sehr nett und herzlich. Der perfekte Start für unsere Reise in Costa Rica!!

Beautiful location and grounds. This is smaller coffee finca and beautiful garden rather than a full working coffee farm, so there is not a lot of workers about unless it is harvest time. More like a private villa, very quiet and peaceful. Phil is very knowledgeable and helpful but respective of his guests privacy. A fob is provided to open the villa gate and you can easily come and go as you wish. A perfect place if arriving or departing San Jose airport or just visiting the area. Highly recommend.

You will never find a better view anywhere.  The gardens were a delight and well-maintained. Because of the cool breezes off the mountain in the mornings and evenings, a jacket or sweater is recommended. The coffee was great!

The Coffe Ranch will always be one of my favorite places.

The Coffe Ranch siempre será uno de mis lugares favoritos.

This is a great place to stay if you are traveling with kids or pets. Comfortable beds, nice shower and the outdoor space is just beautiful. There are a few great restaurants in the area like riverside marketplace and Baruk. The weather in this area it’s awesome. I will definitely stay there again.

This review is for the Vista View Casita. A comfortable bed, comfortable couch, nicely equipped kitchen, outside deck with 2 chairs and a table was great on a morning drinking coffee. Nice bathroom with shower, hot water. The meditation garden, and grounds were beautiful. Thank you, Phil, for a very pleasant stay.

We found the perfect place for our stay with our dogs at Phil's beautiful and quiet Caffee Garden Ranch. Everything was fine and we would come back again. The beautiful coffee garden as well as the very well-maintained Hsusgarten also made our stay a relaxing and satisfied stay. Thank you Phil for being your guests, it was superb! Best regards

Wir haben bei Phil auf seiner wunderschönen und ruhigen Caffee Garden Ranch den perfekten Platz für unsereren Aufenthslt mit unseren Hunden gefunden. Alles war Bestens und wir würden wiederkommen. Auch der wunderschöne Kaffegarten wie auch der sehr gepflegte Hsusgarten haben unseren Aufenthalt zu einem erholsamen und zufriedenenen Aufenthalt gemacht. Herzlichen Dank Phil das wir deine Gäste waren es war super! Liebe Grüsse

A place perfectly remarkable for its environment and the maintenance of the premises. Spectacular sunset views over the San Jose town as well as a large part of the mountains surrounding the city. The location is so close to the big city without the inconvenience of noise. Phil is an experienced and fully available host. He is very friendly and ensures that you have all the comforts you want. You have to take time to admire the environment and especially to walk on the coffee plantation. We enjoyed the place so much and the large terrace we spent most of our stay on the site. A stop on its estate and you will be 100% charmed. We recommend to anyone who loves the peace and tranquility to stay there. Thanks to Phil and his team for a great stay. 5 stars all the way.

Un endroit tout a fait remarquable par son environnement et l'entretien des lieux. Une vue spectaculaire pour le coucher de soleil, sur la ville de San José ainsi qu'une grand partie des montagnes entourant la ville. L'emplacement est tout près de la grande ville sans les inconvénient du bruit. Phil est un hôte expérimenté et totalement disponible. Il est très accueillant et s'assure que vous avez tout le confort désiré. Il faut prendre le temps d'admiré l'environnement et surtout aller marcher sur la plantation de café. Nous avons tellement apprécié le logement et la grande terrasse que nous avons passé la majorité de notre séjour sur le site. Un arrêt sur son domaine et vous serez charmé à 100%. Nous recommandons à tous ceux qui aiment la paix et la tranquillité d'aller y séjourner. Merci à Phil et son équipe pour un excellent séjour. 5 étoiles sur toute la ligne.

Private feedback from guest: So much to say starting with thank-you!! Your place is spectacular and will help us dream and prepare our retirement plan. It was a real pleasure meeting you right from the start! Would've love to have some time to chat with you. I feel we could've have so much to talk about over a meal and a bottle of wine. Hope to get the chance to talk to you again. Take care 'Tico'!! Thank you Gary - I am glad you enjoyed my book. Several guests have used Costa Rica Now to plan their move here. Talk soon!

Gorgeous and such a great place to stay outside of the city. Coffee garden is beautiful to walk through

Phil's place has been an incredible experience for us! We love the coffee gardens and our dogs loved living there for over a week! It was a bonus that the place was totally fenced in with walking trails for the dogs to play and run in. Phil's small dog is super friendly as well. Everyone we met was friendly and helpful. Phil was especially helpful for us during our transition from the US to Costa Rica. He's a wealth of knowledge and we enjoyed learning from him and getting to know him. We highly recommend this place if you're looking for a relaxed atmosphere in a serene environment.

Rhonda's private feedback is cool and funny and heartwarming. It makes hosting well worth it, "we love you man!" - Rhonda. Big Smile!

great host, the place is better than expected.

WOW! This place is incredible. The garden area is huge and you can spend so much time peacefully wandering through. I’ve lived in Costa Rica for years and this place is at the top of my list now.

Wish we could give this more than five stars. Phil communicated quickly and had a lot of helpful suggestions. The accommodations  were clean and comfortable. The grounds were stunning….the description does not do it justice. You’ll love walking around and will enjoy all the vegetation, fruit trees, flowers, and of course coffee plants, scenery, and listening to the howler monkeys. Helpful hint….the howler monkeys are the loudest land animal and sound like dogs barking. Very peaceful. Great stay in Costa Rica!

Literally a piece of heaven. This is the place to go if you need to rest. Secure. Excellent communication. Amazing coffee. So glad I stayed here.

We loved our stay at Phil’s Airbnb! It was exactly how it was described and Phil was an outstanding host. I can say so many good things about him and his property. First off, we met him upon arrival to get our keys and he noticed we were in tank tops while it was a cold and rainy day, and offered to lend some sweaters/long sleeves. He generously let us wear a couple of his flannels because we foolishly did not pack for the rainy weather. He recommended great places to visit and was really such a kind man. His coffee garden is stunning!! It’s amazing to see the time and effort that was poured into this Airbnb. We would happily stay again and could not recommend him enough! Thank you Phil!!

We had a great time at Phil's place! Such a beautiful, unique property. Very well equipped and comfortable.

I had a great stay, thanks for having me!

Quiet place to rest and recharge, close to the beautiful herbal mountains.
