Un bout du monde relaxant
Pros:

L'accueil chaleureux et précis. Annabelle est charmante et son mari très arrangeant. Le lieu est superbe face au volcan (hélas pour nous les nuages l'ont un peu caché). Un bout du monde pour se relaxer. C'est à 30 minutes en voiture de Turrialba mais le soir il est possible de manger sur place (une cuisinière du village vient..et c'est bon).

Cons:

Rien. Il faut préciser que le 4*4 n'est pas un luxe pour monter la côte mais on peut venir vous chercher si nécessaire.

We loved the view and Mark and Anabelle were so kind! We stayed for dinner every night and Audie is such a good cook! We also did the Nortico cacao tour Mark recommended and it was absolutely fantastic as well!

It was very restful staying there.
Pros:

When we arrived, we stopped at the bottom of the hill. The driveway is steep, and we wanted to make sure the car could get up the hill before we attempted it ourselves. My wife walked to the top where she found the host Auxi. Auxi was very helpful and had the neighbor drive the car up the hill for us. Auxi showed us the restaurant and our cabin and later she made dinner for us and the other guests at the restaurant. We enjoyed having dinner at the restaurant and meeting the other guests, who we enjoyed talking with them and with Auxi. The grounds are nice and well-kept with plants and flowers, and great views all around. We enjoyed the sunset looking across the valley and across the valley is Turrialba volcano. We stayed in late August, mid-week and off season. There was only us and the other couple staying there. It was cool at night and quiet except for some trucks breaking during the night. The next morning, the weather was great, cool and comfortable. We enjoyed breakfast, talking with Auxi and the other guests at the bar with the view and the kitchen is behind the bar and breakfast is prepared in front of you. We sat at the bar in the restaurant with the great view and the same guests we met the night before. We were only there for one night. We wished that we had more time to explore and see the area.

Cons:

Everything was good.
