Nice property

Property is nice. There is a big dog that roams the property. It is friendly but will jump on you and enter the house if you forget to shut the door. How was nice but definitely needs a deep cleaning. Master shower did not work properly

San Jose Mirador

A beautiful home in a family property high above Cartago with an incredible view of San Jose. Very easy access to Irazú Volcano, the Orosi Valley and the east side of San Jose. One would need a car as the property is about 10 minutes drive from Cartago and 20 - 30 minutes from San Jose. We very much enjoyed our stay!

Spectacular View Property in Beautiful, Secure Garden Home

The grounds and location of this spacious home are wonderful - gorgeous flowers, plants, & fruit trees abound on the lush green fields, overlooking the twinkling lights of the cities below. And yet, it only takes 15 minutes or so to arrive in the city, close to restaurants, shops, museums & sites! The owners are super- responsive and went above & beyond to make sure we had everything we could possibly need for our 2 week stay here. She even added a bountiful basket filled with delicious fresh fruit & coffee when we arrived! Wi-Fi worked great!!
