Welcome to María Bonita
Our family is delighted to host you in our home. We have chosen to share this space with those who appreciate being surrounded by ancient trees, beautiful gardens, and breathtaking views of the Central Valley. It is an ideal retreat for families or friends seeking to immerse themselves in vibrant nature. Perfect for adventurers and nature enthusiasts looking to escape the city.
The Space
The house is thoughtfully designed to harmonize with nature, reflecting a deep respect and love for the environment. Situated over 2,300 meters (7,546 feet) above sea level, the climate remains mild, ranging between 13°C and 18°C (55°F to 64°F). This location serves as a natural gateway to the protected Barva Volcano Lagoon area.
The social area is spacious, open, and inviting. At its heart is a fireplace, surrounded by large windows that open onto a terrace overlooking the forest. The terrace includes a covered barbecue area and an outdoor dining table.
The kitchen is large and fully equipped, complemented by the main indoor dining room.
On the ground floor, there are three bedrooms:
- María Bonita (Master Bedroom): Features a queen bed, a private bathroom designed with care, direct access to the terrace, and views of both the forest and Central Valley.
- El Roble and El Jardín: Both rooms are beautifully decorated to ensure a memorable stay. They share a full bathroom located between them.
Upstairs, you will find a semi-open loft-style bedroom with two wooden bunk beds crafted from local cypress. This level also includes a TV lounge with cable access and a full bathroom.
Guest Access
The property offers ample space filled with natural beauty. On the grounds, guests can enjoy:
- A small, crystal-clear waterfall
- A forest of centuries-old oak trees
- Exquisite gardens ideal for peaceful walks and quiet reflection
Additional Information
While any vehicle can reach the property, we recommend using a 4x4 or a high-clearance vehicle for a more comfortable journey.
Due to the high elevation, temperatures can become quite cool. We suggest bringing warm clothing, scarves, and closed-toe shoes to stay comfortable.

A beautiful, secluded place to be in nature. I fell in love with the gardens. The house is super cozy. Don Ángel, the property manager, was very helpful and Lauren was very willing to resolve any concerns and was flexible from the day of booking.

Great place for a mountain scape. Quiet and peaceful. Could get a bit cold so pack your layers if you want to stay outside. The place has a chimney and beds have warming blankets so can sleep warm and comfortable.

Very quiet and beautiful place. We spent an amazing night, although it was very cold, but it was totally worth it

The amazing place was just what we were looking for, a place with an ancient and magical soul. Very cold. Recommendation if you rent it, take care of it, it is a place with history, the caretaker is super nice

Incredible stay. The views are absolutely stunning and the weather was amazing — it does get cold, so come prepared, but that just adds to the experience. The place is very peaceful, perfect for disconnecting and resting. Everything was as described (or better). A special mention to Don Angel, the concierge — truly outstanding. Attentive, kind, and always ready to help. He made the stay even better. Would absolutely recommend and would stay here again.

My family and I went to spend December 24th and the place is amazing. It's just like the photos, the view, the house, everything is very nice. We would definitely come back

Beautiful place to relax, unwind and completely disconnect. There is absolutely no signal, so it is essential to have the Maps location (not Waze) already loaded on the cell phone. Other than that, the instructions are clear and precise. They gave us enough wood for the fireplace. We felt super well cared for
