2BR Cottage in Provincia de Cartago

My family and I were looking for a place to get away from the city and be in touch with nature. We also found reading material—some beautiful books that we were able to enjoy. We went for walks, and we were always busy. This place also encourages healthy family time; it doesn't have a TV because you would never need one. Recommended.

The good: the view is stunning. Very stocked with kitchen supplies. The pizza oven is awesome. The bad: Lumpiest bed I’ve slept on in years. The “Swiss suicide” shower - foreigners may be rightfully concerned to have to flip the switch on (wear shoes when you do it!). Nowhere to store your clothes. Towels should be replaced. The fridge was unplugged, which made it inconvenient to store our groceries upon arrival. At midnight, the motion sensor sounds the alarm, if you’re on the back patio. The ugly: Excessive termite droppings in the queen bed and all over the bedside table and floor. Leak from bathroom ceiling during storm. No apology from the host, though we spoke on the phone about it. It’s one thing to be responsive in communication, it’s another to be responsible for the conditions of your place. She did not seem concerned that her house is infested with termites and her roof is leaking. We also found a few bugs: cockroach, millipede, and termite. 1st negative review I’ve left.

Host Response

No acepto sus comentarios negativos. Primero ubíquese porque está en una finca y se va a encontrar muchos insectos, hasta me dijo que vio uno y no encontró su camino. Cuando informó lo de la gotera, producto de la tormenta, fue usted quien no contestó. Le indiqué que quería que habláramos por teléfono y no me llamó. Hasta el día siguiente hablamos y usted me indicó que no me preocupara. El sistema de agua caliente es el que se usa en la mayoría del país, y es muy seguro . Colchón duro es la primera que se queja. Le sugiero que lea bien las instrucciones porque hacía preguntas innecesarias , que estaban respondidas en las instrucciones, llevo personas sin permiso y veo mala voluntad porque escribe cosas que no corresponden a la realidad. Recuerda que conversamos y dijo no hay problema, porque en ese momento no expresó sus comentarios negativos? Incluso sus comentarios fueron estamos disfrutando de la casa y de estar cerca de la familia, revise bien lo que me escribió, entonces?

Amazing place with amazing views!

We booked this stay to visit the nearby thermal hot springs and had a wonderful experience. We arrived late in the evening but had no trouble finding the main entrance and locating the cabin in the dark. The cabin is beautiful and, although it was a bit cold, they provided plenty of blankets. The stay was great; it was very clean and comfortable, and the hot water worked well. We truly enjoyed our time here.

This is a lovely location with a beautiful garden and nice view. It would be nice for a family, lots of space and things to do. There was one bedroom with a door, a queen bed and 2 bunks. The other “bedroom” is just the end of the living room. It has 2 bunks and no door just a curtain to separate it from the living room. For 3 adult friends, there wasn’t as much privacy as we expected. The photos don’t show how the rooms are really laid out. The hosts seemed to be out of town and we were greeted by a friendly tico.

The house is very nice, cozy and spacious. The property is super large and private. The photos don't do justice to the view from the property, even though it rained and was cloudy, when the clouds cleared, the view is beautiful. Liliana is always very attentive in case you need anything and is very friendly. The house is very well located with respect to the town, so if you need anything, everything is very close. Perfect for getting away from the city but not too far away. And I would definitely come back.
