Country Place in the mountains where the cities and nightlife are at least an hour and a half away. Your casa awaits you high in the central mountains of Utuado, Puerto Rico complete with panoramic views surrounded by lush greenery, flowers, tropical fruits, and plants. A breadfruit tree (pana), papaya, starfruit, bananas, oranges, plantains, and more are all on this property next to the expansive tiled and furnished terrace with a wood-burning fireplace overlooking the grand view. Ferdy is the friendly caretaker who can provide you with firewood for the fireplace for a reasonable fee or charcoal is readily available
You may also enjoy cooling dips in the unheated pool and plan your outings while swaying in a hammock in the gazebo or on the terrace. Coffee plantations are nearby or Camuy Caverns and Guanataca Forest with nicely maintained trails and a small cave is in the area too. Tour companies nearby offer more. Angeles, 5 Km. away on 602 has some small stores but larger Lares on P.R. 111 is 30 minutes away featuring bigger stores and the best "under the green bridge food truck selling "stuffed potatoes and frappes we have ever had!! A minute or two away on the same road is a small local eatery that has great Lechon (roast suckling pig) with all the traditional sides. Upon a hill on route 111 is a string of special food vendors selling good food; we like the PIZZA baked over a wood fire at the end. Most eateries are open Thursday through Sunday.
This is a typical country home but with many more features than most homes found here in the area. You will have a tranquil and relaxing stay away from the hustle and bustle of the hot cities. The temperatures on the shaded terrace and at night are 70 ° F ...You will only need a light sweater in the evening and perhaps a cheery fire in the fireplace. Hurricane Maria left lots of firewood that Ferdy can bring to you upon request.
Wal-Mart and other big-box stores are at least 45 minutes away. Good beaches and sport fishing are 1&1/2 hours away but you can fit those activities in when you plan 4 or more days therefore be prepared to relax and restore yourselves on one of the best country holidays of your lives.
Please do your research on what type of vacation and what region you want to be in to be certain this is for you. Water and electrical service do get interrupted occasionally in Puerto Rico. All roads are paved but if curvy and narrow country roads with occasional potholes and randomly parked vehicles and horseback riders bother you THEN DON'T COME.
Nightlight here is relaxing with a good book you brought or one of ours ...playing a game or good conversation. You can relax in the gazebo or in the unheated pool and connected spa.
