The house is as described. We spent two nights in this beautiful environment. The view of the valley is exceptional at any time of the day. The house is very nice and spacious, accessible by a fairly steep road, preferably with a 4x4.

La maison est conforme à la description. Nous avons passons deux nuits dans ce magnifique environnement. La vue sur la vallée est exceptionnelle à toute heure de la journée. La maison est très agréable et spacieuse, accessible par une route assez raide de préférence avec un 4x4.

This is the second time we’ve stay at Vera’s place and there is a reason why we came back and we will come back! Stunning views, beautiful, peaceful, clean and well equipped house and Vera is such a great host. Thank you Vera and hope to come back soon. Blessings

We loved staying at this villa. It was perfect for acclimatizing and arriving relaxed after the long flight: clean, quiet, well appointed (great shower!) and with a spectacular view of the valley. If, like us, you want to take a trip to Orosi to the coffee farm: After leaving the house, turning left means an adventurous journey 🫣! The breakfast in the garden was very tasty and lovingly prepared. And we were pleased to meet Vera in person for a short time before our departure. Thank you for everything!

Uns hat der Aufenthalt in dieser Villa sehr gut gefallen. Es war perfekt, um sich nach dem langen Flug zu akklimatisieren und entspannt anzukommen: sauber, ruhig, gut ausgestattet (tolle Dusche!) und mit spektakulärem Blick ins Tal. Wer wie wir einen Ausflug nach Orosi zur Kaffeefarm machen möchte: Nach der Ausfahrt vom Haus nach links abzubiegen bedeutet eine abenteuerliche Wegstrecke 🫣! Das Frühstück im Garten war sehr lecker und liebevoll angerichtet. Und wir haben uns gefreut, Vera bei unserer Abreise noch kurz persönlich zu treffen. Vielen Dank für alles!

The house is very nice, just like the photos, and the scenery is spectacular. We would definitely come back.

La casa es muy bonita igual a las fotos, el paisaje espectacular.  Sin duda volveríamos.

Very quiet, a beautiful view, we felt right at home, Vera was always very helpful and kind

Muy tranquilo, una vista hermosa, nos sentimos como en casa, Vera siempre muy atenta y amable

A very nice place with a spectacular view and very attentive people. The Internet signal went out due to a technical problem with the provider. Vera and Manuel were very attentive and always kept us informed of the situation.

Un lugar muy lindo con una vista espectacular y personas muy atentas la I señal de Internet se fue por un problema técnico del proveedor, Vera y Manuel estuvieron muy pendientes y siempre nos informaron de la situación.

We had an amazing stay with Vera! A lovely house with a beautiful view! A lovely large kitchen with plenty of stuff in it! We were able to cook extensively on our own! The garden is very beautiful; I saw hummingbirds! 😍 There is close to everything to do. You do need a 4x4 car because of the steep (and sometimes bad) roads. The road to it and the driveway are also quite steep. If you have to be in this area, this large house is highly recommended! We would definitely go back! 🤩

We hebben een geweldig verblijf gehad bij Vera! Een schittend huis met prachtig uitzicht! Een heerlijke grote keuken met genoeg spullen erin! We hebben zelf uitgebreid kunnen koken! De tuin is erg mooi, ik heb kolibries gezien! 😍 Er is in de buurt van alles te doen. Je hebt wel een 4x4 auto nodig ivm de steile (en soms slechte) wegen. Ook de weg er naartoe en oprit zijn vrij steil. Als je in deze omgeving moet zijn is dit grote huis echt een aanrader! Wij zouden zeker terug gaan! 🤩

very lovely place.  only complaint was the barking dog one morning (was corrected the second day).  apparently the dog belonged to the caretaker who stated the dog had gotten loose in the night.  vera was a great communicator.  we would definitely stay in this property again. thank you.

A spacious house with fantastic views. The house offers everything your heart desires. If you want to explore central Costa Rica, the house is the perfect base. We felt very comfortable and would like to come back again and again. Vera is a super nice host who responds quickly and can be contacted immediately for any problem or question.

ein großzügiges Haus mit traumhafter Aussicht. Das Haus bietet alles, was das Herz begehrt. Wenn man das zentrale Costa Rica erkunden will, ist das Haus der perfekte Ausgangspunkt. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und würden immer wieder gerne kommen. Vera ist eine super nette Gastgeberin, die schnell antwortet und bei jedem Problem oder Frage sofort ansprechbar ist.

The place is really beautiful but there is a really bad route when you turn left from the house going to Orosi. I really recommend to double check before you get there or if you are going out to Orosi. NEVER use the left route, from the house ALWAYS turn right.

Beautiful house, very attentive and communicative hosts, highly recommended

Hermosa casa, muy atentos y comunicativos, muy recomendada

Beautiful house, full of peace and quiet with beautiful views. Definitely to relax. We had a great time.

Hermosa casa, llena de paz y tranquilidad con vistas hermosas. Definitivamente para relajarse. La pasamos super bien.

Casa Sofia is situated with a spectacular view of the Orosi Valley.  The home is comfortable and well equipped.  We had the misfortune of staying during an unseasonably cold and wet spell, so didn’t get the full benefit.

Fantastic house with perfect backyard in a magical location. morning views and amazing evening views of Paraiso

I would recommend the place! We had a great time. Thank you for hosting us

Je recommande le logement ! Nous avons passé un superbe séjour. Merci pour l’accueil

Beautiful place, it feels like home, beautiful view, quiet place. I would recommend the place, we enjoyed it a lot.

Endroit superbe, on se sent comme à la maison, vu magnifique, endroit tranquille. Je recommande le logement, nous avons beaucoup apprécié.

Casa Sofia was fantastically beautiful for us with a fantastic view and location … everything was very clean and tastefully decorated 😊🫶we would love to come back

Casa Sofia war für uns traumhaft schön mit einer fantastischen Aussicht und Lage … alles war sehr sauber und mit viel Geschmack eingerichtet 😊🫶wir kommen sehr gerne wieder

This place is truly designed with so much love and heart. Everything is exceptionally clean, and the entire property is beautifully maintained, like a private park. The view over the valley is absolutely breathtaking. The house itself is stunning: high ceilings, lots of glass, a stylish and high-quality interior, and an amazing bathroom with a fantastic shower that makes you feel like you’re living in luxury in the middle of the rainforest. We really enjoyed the outdoor Napoleon grill. Manuel is a wonderful host who clearly puts a lot of passion into this place. The directions were very clear and easy to follow. Waking up with a direct view into the valley from the bed is unforgettable, and even the small dog added a lot of joy to our stay. The perfectly placed desk with that view would be an absolute dream for working from home. We left with so much inspiration for our future home. Thank you for this truly special stay!

Thank you very much for your very kind review. I am thrilled you enjoyed your stay at Casa Sofia

The accommodation is just as shown in the photos, very friendly hosts and easy access.

El alojamiento es tal cual a como se ve en las fotos, muy amables los anfitriones y fácil acceso.

It is a wonderful property. The views across the Orosital are beautiful. The booked massages were extremely great and relaxing. This compensated us for the rather changeable weather. Thank you.

Es ist eine wunderbare Liegenschaft. Die Aussicht über das Orosital ist wunderschön. Die gebuchte Massagen waren ausgesprochen super und erholsam. Diese entschädigte uns für das eher wechselhafte Wetter. Vielen Dank.

Excellent service, beautiful place, peace and quiet, excellent communication,

Excelente atención, lugar hermoso , paz y tranquilidad , excelente comunicación,

You really can't miss this house when you come to Costa Rica! The beautiful view, the space, good quality furniture, finally good pans to cook with and the bed sleeps wonderfully. We were only here for 3 days and that could have been much longer for me. The coffee tour was great and we highly recommend it. Unfortunately, we did not use the massage or pedicure due to the time. Kevin and his wife gave us a very warm welcome. Extra thanks for this! The road is certainly doable, just poco a poco, little by little ;-). All in all: book quickly!!!

Dit huis mag je echt niet missen als je naar Costa Rica komt! Het prachtige uitzicht, de ruimte, goede kwaliteit meubels, eindelijk goede pannen om mee te koken en het bed slaapt heerlijk. Wij waren hier maar 3 dagen en dat had van mij veel langer gemogen. De koffietour was geweldig en raden wij ten zeerste aan. Helaas hebben wij geen gebruik gemaakt, in verband met de tijd, van de massage of pedicure. Kevin en zijn vrouw hebben ons een zeer warm welkom gegeven. Extra dank hiervoor! De weg is zeker te doen, gewoon poco a poco, beetje bij beetje ;-). Al bij al: snel boeken!!!

This house backyard mountain view is unbelievable, photos don’t do it justice. It is a mirador in itself. Best place I have stayed at in the country. House has ample space and great kitchen with gas stove. Grocery stores and restaurants are minutes away driving distance. Very quiet surroundings.

This place gets a 10 out of 10 for us! The views were breathtaking, we had everything we needed. The caretakers, Giraly & Kevin were so friendly and helpful. I locked the keys in the laundry and the fuel was empty at the rancho. Each time they were quick to help. We only struggled a bit with communication but the sentiment was always of kindness. Their son, Christian and perro , Oso, made it feel like a family affair. We highly recommend Vera’s place!

Vera's place was wonderful. We wished we had booked it for longer. Spacious and clean with a lovely view. We got breakfast one of the days and it was delicious, home cooked food.

Thank you, Kim. It was a pleasure to have you as our guest.

A beautiful place to relax and take in the atmosphere The property has fantastic views over the mountains and amazing floor to ceiling windows to gaze out of Vera was responsive to any communications we had with her & was kind and friendly during our stay The property is beautifully designed & furnished, the sofa is perfect for lounging on & the shower is hot & enjoyable to use A welcome folder has local recommendations for sight seeing and food This is a great place to stay and unwind

Beautiful place! It's a very nice house in a peaceful setting and full of nature. The house was spotless and everything published in the listing is 100% accurate. I highly recommend the property as well as Vera and her team. Five-star everything!

¡Lugar precioso! Es una casa muy linda en un entorno pacífico y lleno de naturaleza. La casa estaba impecable y todo lo que se publica en el anuncio es 100% atinado. Recomiendo mucho la propiedad así como a Vera y su equipo. ¡5 estrellas en todo!

The place inside is unbeatable and the exteriors are even better, it is a peaceful place with excellent views.

El lugar por dentro es inmejorable y los exteriores son aún mejores, es un lugar pacífico con vistas excelsas.

We stayed at Vera's for two nights and her place is really beautiful. We could have stayed longer, but we had our plane at 2 p.m. (we took about 1 hour to rent the car - Budget to the airport, so instead of sleeping near San José, we were much better in this beautiful house) The house is large, the view of the valley and mountains is superb and it's very clean. Everything is good (beds, sheets/blankets, kitchen, bathroom and two living rooms) We were hosted very well by Merrira who lives in a house next door, but the accommodation is completely private. Exchanges with Vera were very helpful and kind. Thank you Vera recommends several visits to the area that makes you want to visit (we didn't do them because we just stayed quietly in the house) Vera's house is therefore recommended!

Nous avons séjourné deux nuits chez Vera et son logement est vraiment magnifique. Nous aurions pu rester plus longtemps, mais nous avions notre avion à 14 ap. ( nous avons mis environ 1heure jusqu’à la location de la voiture - Budget vers l’aéroport, donc au lieu de dormir vers San José, nous étions bien mieux dans cette magnifique maison) La maison est grande, la vue sur la vallée et les montagnes est superbe et c’est très propre. Tout est bien ( les lits, les draps / couvertures, la cuisine , la salle de bain et les deux salons) Nous avons été très bien accueilli par Merrira qui habite dans une maison à côté, mais le logement est complètement privé. Les échanges avec Vera ont été très utiles et gentil. Merci Vera recommande plusieurs visites dans la région qui donne très envie (nous ne les avons pas faites car nous sommes juste restés tranquillement dans la maison ) La maison de Vera est donc à recommander !

We very much enjoyed our stay! The house is beautiful and was fully stocked. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals, the bathroom is AMAZING(like showering in a rainforest), and the bedrooms were fully stocked with comfy extra linens for those chilly nights!! The house has a stunning view of the surrounding mountains and valley, and on a clear night you can see the city lit up below! The host was not in town when we were staying(which she told us beforehand), but she has a local property manager who checked us in and showed us around. She was very friendly and informative and we arranged to have breakfast included(which was delicious!) and she delivered it right to the property! The host has a guideline booklet with a bunch of information about the area, things to do, restaurants or stores that are close, etc. We went to the mineral hot springs in the area, which was an amazing experience! Everything about this place is 5 stars all the way! We will definitely return!!

Thank you very much. I am pleased you enjoyed your stay.

Everything was wonderful - especially the wide view over the valley and mountains was fantastic

Es war alles wunderbar - insbesondere die weite Sicht über Tal und Berge war traumhaft

Love the place and sorroundings. Very nice people Vera's assistants and Noemi.

This was the most calm and peaceful house, off the beaten path, with the best views! Vera and her team were wonderful hosts, communicative, friendly, and always helpful. The extra breakfast was delicious. As an avid birder, the spectacular gardens around the farm were a perfect backdrop for spotting some feathered friends! The only note of caution is that you pay close attention to the very clear instructions from Vera about how to get there. Waze or Google Maps may try to take you on the “shortcut” up from Orosi, but it’s not worth it! Make sure you arrive along the road from Cartago/Paraiso.

Thank you, Ben. I am glad you enjoyed cooking at Casa Sofia. We use to have measuring cups and spoons ( I am a Baker) I guess I need to replace them.

I appreciate so much Vera’s flexibility with us to rent the place for only night. We enjoyed the place very much the first as well as we did this time. It was good to come back.

Gracias Patricia. Encantada de haberlos hospedado de nuevo.

There is no doubt that the first thing you will notice when you walk into Vera's property is the panoramic mountain view offered by the floor-to-ceiling glass walls. This is the view that heads the Airbnb profile, but the photo does not do it justice. It really is breathtaking. The cottage sits atop a coffee plantation, which has been in the family for generations, adding to the charm of the location. Exploring the cottage further, we noticed the attention that has been paid to the interior design. The colour palette and complementary furnishing just work, creating a restful atmosphere. The kitchen was well-appointed with everything you will need. Vera and her staff were very helpful when we had questions. Also, the beds were very comfy and with the cool mountain air circulating throughout, we slept well indeed. I would be happy to return to Vera's property.

gorgeous place in a beautiful setting. stunning views, my favourite thing was having coffee looking out into the valley in the mornings! felt very at home. the breakfast was great value too

The location and views are amazing. Mereri's instructions and breakfast was great😊👍. Washing machine and dryer were provided.

Die Lage und Aussicht fantastisch. Die Anweisungen und das Frühstückt von Mereri war super😊👍. Waschmaschine und Trockner waren vorhanden,.

Nice play to stay. Definitely recommended.

Casa Sofia is an absolute gem! From the amazing remote and beautiful surroundings to the wonderful property managers, you will be in for a treat! We took advantage of the massages and Tico breakfasts, and they did not disappoint! Coffee and meditation overlooking the serene landscape was a little slice of Heaven. We toured Irazu Volcano, spent time at Termales Hacienda Orosi, and experienced downtown Cartago, including the market and the Basilica. We had a fantastic time everywhere! Highly recommend staying at Casa Sofia. Pura Vida!

Pictures don’t give justice to the beauty of this place. The view to the mountains, the valley, and the chilly evening was just what we needed. We were not looking for things to do, we just wanted a quiet, peaceful place to relax, and we got it. It would have nice to have a fireplace for the chilly evening. I got to say, the sofa is not comfortable, it’s too deep, maybe large pillows will help giving support to your back. I enjoyed chatting with Merari, she was very helpful and informative. Her husband is a nice guy also. Kudos for this friendly caretakers. I will return to this place when I need a place just to relax. 😁

I am glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for your suggestions, they are always welcome. We will take them in consideration.

Very nice accommodation with a great view. The huge bay windows allow stunning views of the mountains. Very well furnished with good kitchen equipment, comfortable beds, the bathroom is spacious. We had a great time there. The road to get to the house is perfectly passable with an SUV. We recommend this beautiful house.

Très beau logement avec une vue magnifique. Les immenses baies vitrées permettent une vue imprenable sur les montagnes. Très bien aménagé avec du bon matériel de cuisine, des lits confortables, la salle de bain est spacieuse. Nous y avons passé un excellent séjour. le chemin pour arriver à la maison est parfaitement praticable avec un SUV. Nous recommandons cette magnifique maison.

We had a really nice time! We were very warmly welcomed and received a very delicious, freshly prepared breakfast every morning. The view from the house is indescribable, surrounded by nature. You can make great excursions to the mountains in the area, or look at the cities. We lacked nothing, we will be happy to come back.

Wir hatten eine wirklich schöne Zeit! Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und haben jeden Morgen ein sehr leckeres, frisch zubereitetes Frühstück erhalten. Die Aussicht aus dem Haus ist unbeschreiblich, mitten in der Natur. In der Umgebung kann man tolle Ausflüge in die Berge machen, oder sich die Städte anschauen. Es fehlte uns an nichts, wir kommen gerne wieder.

The house is beautiful, very large and fully equipped. It has everything you need! The view is very beautiful too. Perfect for a family who would like to recharge their batteries in the heart of nature.

La maison est magnifique, très grande et entièrement équipée. Il y a tout ce qu’il faut! La vue est très belle également. Parfait pour une famille qui voudrait se ressourcer en pleine nature.

Situated on a cute coffee farm, this property was a phenomenal stay. The view from the living room extends across the adjacent valley, with the house situated in a perfect position to gain maximum exposure to this view. Modern interior. Great natural lighting. There is a beautiful lawn to hang out on and a barbeque  you can use to spend some time outside for lunch or dinner! Orosi hot springs about 10-15 minutes away - a must do! We spent all day there. Extremely peaceful get away.

Thank Andy. Good information in your review.

Vera's place was the most beautiful place we stayed at in Costa Rica. The house and the views are amazing and the place is perfect to relax! Everything is taken care of in a friendly but also very professional way. As we were staying with an infant we enjoyed the little playground at the property. We hope we can come back soon!

Thank you. I am happy you enjoyed your stay.

What a  beautiful place. Just the peace and tranquility I was looking for. An unbeatable view of the mountains. A very comfortable place equipped with everything you need. Excellent attention. I will definitely return home Sofía.

An amazing place. The house is beautiful with a spectacular view. 100% recommended for lounging, clearing and disconnecting from the city.

Un lugar increíble. La casa es hermosa con una vista espectacular. 100% recomendado para descansar, despejarse y desconectarse de la ciudad.

We loved our stay and couldn’t get enough of the stunning scenery! The instructions for arrival were really clear and easy to follow. Jesús met us on arrival, let us in and showed us around. The bed was very comfortable and there were lots of places to sit and relax within the house. We would love to come back if we ever in the area again.

Thank you Louise, it was a pleasure to have you at our house.

Amazing view with a beautiful home. The assistant who cooked us breakfast (it was excellent) and showed us around the house  was very kind and helpful. I had a wonderful experience and would love to come back.

I felt very comfortable in Vera's great place. It is exactly as described, beautifully quiet with everything you need. I found the accommodation great by car both with Waze and Google Maps, it was no problem. Vera even guided me a bit on my arrival by car as I was worried about not finding it. But it wasn't a problem at all! I would definitely come back with my children, there is plenty of space to feel good!

Ich habe mich sehr sehr wohl gefühlt in Veras toller Unterkunft. Sie ist genau wie beschrieben, wunderschön ruhig mit allem was man braucht. Ich habe die Unterkunft super gefunden mit dem Auto sowohl mit Waze als auch mit Google Maps war es kein Problem. Vera hat mich sogar an meiner Ankunft mit dem Auto ein Stückchen geleitet, da ich die Sorge hatte, es nicht zu finden. Aber es war gar kein Problem! Ich würde auf jeden Fall wieder kommen mit meinen Kindern zusammen, es gibt ausreichend Platz zum Wohlfühlen!

Casa Sofia is just beautiful and an absolute recommendation. The accommodation is a little off the beaten path, but you can still be in Cartago in about 15 minutes and you have a fantastic view of the surrounding mountains from the apartment. The house is beautifully decorated and has everything you'll need. You can also use the washing machine, dryer and even your own barbecue area (all free). The kitchen is well equipped and there is even a dishwasher. A special highlight is also the very nice shower (designed like an open-air shower, but is covered). Also the breakfast for an extra charge of 8$ was very good. Absolutely we can recommend the one-hour massage at Milagro's. She comes into the house with the massage bed and the massage was great and costs only $30. Enjoy your time at Casa Sofia.

Casa Sofia ist einfach nur wunderschön und eine absolute Empfehlung. Die Unterkunft liegt zwar etwas abseits, aber man ist immer noch in ca 15 Minuten in Cartago und dafür hat man aus der Wohnung eine traumhafte Aussicht auf die umliegenden Berge. Das Haus ist wunderschön eingerichtet und hat alles, was man braucht. Man kann auch die Waschmaschine, den Trockner und sogar einen eigenen Grillbereich nutzen (alles kostenlos). Die Küche ist bestens ausgestattet und es gibt sogar eine Spülmaschine. Ein besonderes Highlight ist auch die sehr schöne Dusche (gestaltet wie eine Freiluft-Dusche, ist aber überdacht). Auch das Frühstück gegen einen Aufpreis von 8$ war sehr gut. Absolut empfehlen können wir die einstündige Massage bei Milagro. Sie kommt mit der Massageliege zu einem ins Haus und die Massage war super und kostet nur 30$. Genießt eure Zeit in der Casa Sofia.

Thank you for your lovely review. It makes my day!

I can recommend this place. it's amazing. could write a 1000 words review how great is all, view, hospitality, massages,.... you need to come...pictures are worse then reality;))

The house is super equipped with everything you need and more. The property is beautiful and has a spectacular view. Perfect place to disconnect from the city.

La casa está super equipada con todo lo necesario y más. La propiedad es hermosa y tiene una vista espectacular. Un lugar perfecto para desconectarse de la ciudad.

great well equipped, bright house with a very nice view and very large for 4. the house is above the Orosi valley and is in a remote location and therefore quiet. to recommend

super maison bien équipée, lumineuse avec une très belle vue et très grande pour 4. la maison est au dessus de la vallée d"orosi et est dans un endroit reculé et donc au calme. à recommander

We had an amazing stay at Sofia's house. The views and nature around the house is stunning and very peaceful. Vera and Merari were super friendly and replied our questions promptly. Very recommend

We loved the house and the amazing view! It was clean and a lovely house. The shower was amazing! A little tricky to find but a beautiful stay that I would definitely recommend.

A beautiful modern home with a lovely setting and incredible views! It was very hard to leave! Pura Vida!

Vera's house is very cozy and the panoramic view of the mountains is really superb! Loved our stay!

La maison de Vera est très confortable et la vue panoramique sur les montagnes est vraiment superbe! Nous avons adoré notre séjour!

Excellent views, a peaceful place and far from the noise to rest. The attention was very good and the place looked just like the photos 😁

Excelentes vistas, un lugar pacífico y alejado del ruido para descansar. La atención fue muy buena y el lugar se veía igual que en las fotos 😁

The path to Vera's finca was already very spectacular and special. But if you want to enjoy this breathtaking view, it goes up. The finca and the view were famous. If we come back to Costa Rica, that would be my first address. The housekeeper was also very nrtt and helpful.

Der Weg zu Veras Finca war schon sehr spektakulär und speziell. Aber wenn diesen Atemberaubend Ausblick genießen will geht es nunmal nach oben. Die Finca sowie der Ausblick waren famos. Sollte wir wieder nach Costa Rica kommen, wäre das meine erste Adresse. Auch die Hausdame war sehr nrtt und hilfreich.

The place was in one word, Spectacular. Great View of the valley, with a view of Orosi right from the Glass Lined Living Room. It had a nice lawn and the property with coffee plants and fruits trees was charming. All the rooms were well appointed and the shower was special as it has an outdoorsy feel while being indoors! A gem near Orosi.

Vera , thank you for giving us this opportunity to say at your coffee farm. every was perfect. amazing views. house was  very clean. thanks again

We loved this peaceful and comfortable hideaway with incredible views of the Orosí valley and lots of great birdwatching opportunities. On-site caretakers were very responsive and helpful.

Vera’s place had spectacular views, it was clean and well equipped. We liked the breakfast that was offered. The place was secluded, with full of nature’s noises, birds singing at all times. Ideal for those who want to get away from the city.  However it was not far from notable tourist sites.

This is a perfect place to stay for mini vacation or longer in the hills of Cartago. We highly recommend Vera’s house if you are looking for a peaceful getaway, astounding views, cleanliness, short distance driving to daily excursions and silly bird songs from the wildlife. We had a great Tico breakfast delivered daily, which was  perfect way to start our day and we were extremely well taken care of by Vera’s caretakers. They were more than gracious and extremely friendly. We had no problem finding the house and the directions are perfect. My family lives in Costa Rica and I would recommend driving an all wheel drive or 4 wheel drive anyplace you visit across Costa Rica not only in this area. Highly recommend visiting the Lankester Botanical Gardens. Vera’s guidebook is spot on. We used it for planning most all our trip.

Vera's place was spotlessly clean, quiet, and well-equipped with everything we needed to make ourselves at home. It's obvious that Vera has put a lot of thought and care into making the rental cozy and functional. The views from the rental are stunning and the entire property is quiet and peaceful.

The house is just as in the photos, nice view. Don Miguel, Mari and Jesus were very kind and helpful. The only thing to take into account would be the access to the estate as it may not require a 4X4 vehicle, but if a tall one with large tires as it is climbing and the gravel is loose, our vehicle is a Hyundai elantra motor 1800 CC car and it skipped a lot so we decided not to continue climbing, Don Miguel helped us with a friend who very kindly let us leave the vehicle in her house, and Miguel and Jesus would drop us down in the mornings and we were brought up in the evenings with the car of the estate. Still something uncomfortable was done since if we wanted to go out for example from night to dinner we could not do any of the 3 nights we stayed as we did not have our vehicle nearby.

La casa es tal como en las fotos, linda vista. Don Miguel, Mari y Jesus fueron muy amables y serviciales. Lo único a tomar en cuenta sería el acceso hasta la finca ya que puede que no requiera un vehículo 4X4, pero si uno alto con llantas grandes, ya que es subiendo y la grava es suelta, nuestro vehículo es un automóvil Hyundai elantra motor 1800 CC y derrapó mucho por lo que decidimos no seguir subiendo, Don Miguel nos ayudó con una amiga que muy amablemente nos dejó dejar el vehículo en su casa, y Miguel y Jesus nos bajaban en las mañanas y nos subían en las tardes con el carro de la finca. Aún así se hizo algo incómodo ya que si queríamos salir por ejemplo de noche a cenar no lo pudimos hacer ninguna de las 3 noches que nos alojamos pues no contábamos con nuestro vehículo cerca.

Lovely house with stunning views. Extremely comfortable and had everything we could have wanted.

Gorgeous home and views, quiet and peaceful and with all the amenities we needed.  Our family of 4 was able to spread out and relax after being in closer hotel quarters for the week ahead of this. it was also a real benefit to have washer and dryer.  Very convenient to many interesting activities and landmarks.  The breakfast Mari served was delicious and she was accommodating to our changing needs.  Vera was super responsive from day one of booking through the end of the trip - even amongst her own traveling (we appreciate you!).  Highly recommend this special place.

Incredibly beautiful house on a small coffee farm. Georgios and everyone who stayed at the farm were incredibly friendly. Mega view. On the one hand close to Cartago and then so beautifully located in the Orosi Valley. Super good amenities, great barbecue. Probably the most beautiful shower I have ever showered in. We were only there for 2 nights to get from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic, it was perfect for that. If we had more time, you can also spend more days there very well. Absolute further recommendation.

Unfassbar schönes Haus auf einer kleinen Kaffeefarm. Georgios und alle die auf dem Hof gewohnt haben, waren unheimlich freundlich. Mega Aussicht. Einerseits dicht an Cartago und dann doch so schön im Orosi Tal gelegen. Super gute Ausstattung, toller Grill. Die wohl schönste Dusche in der ich je geduscht habe. Wir waren nur 2 Nächte da um vom Pazifik zum Atlantik zu kommen, dafür war es perfekt. Hätten wir mehr Zeit gehabt, kann man da auch sehr gut mehr Tage verbringen. Absolute weitermpfehlung.

The house and surroundings are beautiful. It was very peaceful and a sweet retreat spot in the mountains away from everything. The people were helpful and I recommend getting the breakfast!

What a beautiful house – this perfectly equipped and spacious accommodation offers everything you need for a great stay. You really couldn't ask for more. We felt at home from the very first moment and couldn't get enough of the wonderful views of the surrounding area and the Orosi valley.

We enjoyed our stay, very peaceful spectacular view. Vera and her husband are lovely, kind people. Try it!

Nice location with stunning views and incredible hosts. Totally recommended!

The cottage "Casa Sofia" of Vera is a true gem. Unfortunately, we only stayed there for three nights when we switched from the Caribbean to the Atlantic coast. The surrounding area has much more to offer than just three days. Also, at this level, the climate is quite pleasant. Next time we would stay a few days longer. We felt very comfortable, Merari and Jesus, who also live on the property and take care of the guests, welcomed us and showed us everything. The house is as described and fits the pictures. The view from the large windows is simply the hammer! The spacious outdoor area and garden seating also invite you to linger and enjoy. The kitchen is super equipped and has everything to be able to cook properly. Everything was very clean! We even had the pleasure of meeting Vera's husband who was just here on the day of departure. We can absolutely recommend the great house and would stay here again in a moment!

Das Ferienhaus „Casa Sofia“ von Vera ist ein wahres Juwel. Wir waren leider nur drei Nächte dort, als wir von der Karibik- an die Atlantikküste wechselten. Die Umgebung hat viel mehr zu bieten als nur drei Tage. Zudem ist auf dieser Höhe das Klima recht angenehm. Nächstes Mal würden wir ein paar Tage länger bleiben. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, Merari und Jesus, welche auch auf dem Anwesen wohnen und die Gäste betreuen, hiessen uns Willkommen und zeigten uns alles. Das Haus ist wie beschrieben und entspricht den Bildern. Die Aussicht aus den grossen Fenstern ist einfach der Hammer! Auch der grosszügige Aussenbereich und der Gartensitzplatz laden zum Verweilen und geniessen ein. Die Küche ist super ausgestattet und hat alles um richtig kochen zu können. Alles war sehr sauber! Wir hatten am Abreisetag sogar das Vergnügen den Mann von Vera kennenzulernen, der gerade auch hier war. Wir können das tolle Haus absolut weiterempfehlen und würden sofort wieder hier übernachten!

The house and views are beautiful. It is for maximum relaxation and relaxation. We stayed up there for a few days, after our round trip through the country and it was perfect to process all the impressions.

Das Haus und die Aussicht sind wunderschön. Es dient zu maximalen Entspannung und zum Seele baumeln lassen. Wir waren ein paar Tage dort oben, nach unserer Rundreise durchs Land und es war perfekt um alle Eindrücke zu verarbeiten.

The house is exactly the same as described, incredible views, near to restaurants and tourist places. Very attentive hosts and the breakfast is worth what it costs, very delicious. Totally recommended. Will visit again for sure.

Loved the place, it's definitely a gorgeous area and the house meets everything detailed. Will be back !!!

Me encantó el lugar, definitivamente es una zona preciosa y la casa cumple con todo lo detallado. Volveré !!!

It is our first time when we can say that place looks better than the photos! Everything was wonderful! Highly recommend to everyone! Thank you very much for having us!

One of the best places I ever stayed in! Stunning view, perfectly equipped with Everything you could wish for, very friendly communication. Just perfect!

This House is amazing!! The view is splendid. There's a lot to do laundry. It is very well equipped and there are plenty of space. Vera is welcoming. The shower is great, spacious with plants in it. I recommend it 100%.

Cette maison est incroyable !! La vue est splendide. Il y a de quoi faire une lessive. Elle est très bien équipée et il y a beaucoup d'espace. Vera est accueillante. La douche est formidable, spacieuse avec des plantes dedans. Je recommande à 100%.

What a beautiful house and property. Wished we would have stayed longer. It was very peaceful and quiet. I highly recommend staying here. Merari and Jesus, Vera’s assistants, were so nice and helpful and whatever we needed there were there to help. Pura vida!

For our wedding, we took this house. A wonderful time that will remain a unforgettable memory.

Pour notre mariage, nous avons pris cette maison. Un merveilleux moment qui restera un souvenir inoubliable.

Excellent attention and the place is very nice.

Atención excelente y el lugar muy bonito.

Very large house with everything you need and a large garden!

Sehr grosses Haus mit allem was man braucht und einem grossen Garten!

Hello Everyone, Sofia’s home was super amazing!! We had the best time to relax and enjoy the view! My favorite times was ordering breakfast and enjoying the view!! I had so much privacy and space to really take in the fresh air and enjoy the rain!! The home felt clean, and spacious! I really recommend it! Vera was amazing and her husband they were welcoming and nice! We were able to meet them and yes we will be back!!

Vera's place is truly amazing and very much Pura Vida!!  We absolutely loved our stay here! Vera and her husband are very warm and welcoming.  As it is a little way out, make sure to arrive during daylight, because there definitely are not any street lights to mess up the beautiful night sky!  Highly recommend and would 100% stay here again!  Also highly recommend the in-house massage!  Simply a wonderful experience.

Casa Sofía sits at the top of a quiet hill in Cartago. The grounds are  beautifully landscaped and the views are amazing and make you feel like you are all alone in the middle of the mountains. The interior of the house was very cute, bathroom is nicely designed, beds are comfy and everything was impeccably cleaned including the outdoor space with a nice grill for barbecuing. The kitchen is stocked with every tool and gadget you could want and if you need anything you’re less than 15 minutes from Orosi and Paraiso where you can find great grocery stores, bakeries and restaurants. We had the regular massage with Milagro and it was great. We were lucky enough to meet the owners of the home who were lovely and even made us some fresh juice before we checked out. We traveled to the home with a low to the ground sports car and do not feel that 4x4 is necessary to get to this home.  If you are looking for a great spot in Cartago or are looking to explore this area of CR this is a must stay!

The days of the stay we had an amazing time, the place and the view are beautiful, everything in perfect condition and super clean! Hope to come back soon 😄

Los días de la estadía lo pasamos increíble, el lugar y la vista son preciosos, todo en perfectas condiciones y súper limpio! Esperando volver pronto 😄

Gracias Loana, encantados de que hayan diefrutado de su estadia.

My family and I have stayed at many AirBnBs around the world… Vera’s home is THE BEST place we have ever stayed! The home is beautiful, the views are breathtaking, the area is amazing, the people are wonderful. Hard to encapsulate it all into a review, but you won’t find much better on this app than this incredible place!  Especially if you are looking for a peaceful, quiet getaway with some of the best views on the planet (and delicious breakfast taking in those views if you choose that option!)

Thank you for your fabulous review. It makes us very happy that you enjoyed the place we loved to share with you.

This stay is really stunning! You must go to her house intending to remain and appreciate the beauty that surrounds it. I don't think any images can capture how lovely the surroundings are. We nearly felt sorry for not staying longer. You will definitely need a car, although everything is rather close (by Costa Rican standards). Vera has a fantastic booklet with ideas for drivable attractions/activities. Jesus stays near the property and is a lovely man. He greeted us and showed us around the property. We have not stayed at a more beautiful place during our years of travels and stays with Airbnb.

Beautiful home with spectacular views. We were overwhelmed by the beauty of the mountains right outside the huge picture windows. The sunsets here are gorgeous. The on-site caretakers were incredibly helpful and gracious and made us feel especially welcomed. The private, tranquil location of the home will bring us back again in the future. Such a wonderful place to stay.

Beautiful place. Great hosts and breakfast. Thank you!

This place deserves more than 5 star!!!!!!! Everything is perfect here. A wonderful living area that brightly lit by the morning sun, a wonderful view of the valley of the city of Orosí, the furniture is of high quality and everything is super clean. There is a special plus for Merari, who took great care of us. Everything is just right here!!! We will definitely be back!

Diese Unterkunft verdient mehr als 5 Sterne!!!! Hier ist alles perfekt. Eine wundervoller Wohnbereich, der durch die Morgensonne hell erleuchtet, ein wunderbarer Blick ins Tal auf die Stadt Orosí, die Möbel sind hochwertig und es ist alles top sauber. Besonderes Plus gibt es für Merari, die sich ganz liebevoll um uns gekümmert hat. Hier stimmt einfach alles!!! Wir kommen definitiv wieder!
