Last stay before returning home

We had an amazing time. The scenery was just beautiful. Views are breathtaking and our hosts were fantastic. Loved the little touches with the wine and cookies and treats. So sweet! Bed was very comfortable!The drive up is a little un-nerving the first time but you get used to it.Only recommendations I would make would be to have an ice cube tray and maybe some chair loungers to lay in the sun on the grass. Other than that it.was perfect!

Good place with lovely views

We had a late check in, but, Ignacio had made arrangements for it.Excellent view of the city.We are not used to the heavy traffic sounds which delayed our falling sleep.

Stunning View Peaceful Setting

There will not be enough beautiful things to say about Casa Sofia. The location is incredible. Situated on a rural farm 5 minutes from a major city – yet the mountain views and quiet setting make it feel like you are far from the hustle. Vera, the property owner, is kind and friendly and check-in/check-out were easy and seamless. Her home is beautiful – well equipped kitchen and lovely bathroom with natural light in the shower. There are mountain views from every room in the house. The high ceilings make it feel even more open to the outdoors. We visited Cachi Dam and Irazú Volcano – both worth seeing. Tip: buy tickets on-line for Irazú Volcano. We stayed 5 nights and wish we had stayed longer. Thank you Vera for sharing your home. We hope to return.

Wonderful stay!

My son and I had a great experience at this lovely casa. Location has spectacular views!! Close to Cartago (much easier to navigate and get around than San Jose). Basilica and ruins worth checking out. Lankester Gardens, Irazu volcano, town of Orosi all close by. We enjoyed the “swimming hole” listed in guide provided by owner. House itself is beautiful. Would work well for our family of four in future. Staff is lovely and made everything easy and comfy. Mari brought fresh baking to us on our arrival night. So sweet, and while language was limited on both ends we felt a warm hospitality from her. Definitely order the breakfast for a treat the first day :) Highly recommend!
