This boutique hotel is located just south of Cartago, and is the PERFECT spot if you are wanting to visit the Volcanos (Irazu and Turrialba) and/or Tapanti National Park (all highly recommended). The property is actually a working coffee plantation that sits right on beautiful Lake Cachi.
The owner Michael was WONDERFUL! He was fully bilingual, truly cared about his property, and our experience of it, and was BEYOND accommodating.
Our room was HUGE, very clean, had comfortable bedding, very modern bathroom, and a beautiful back patio area. WiFi worked great.
Included breakfast at the property's restaurant was delicious, cooked to order, plentiful, and was provided to-go on two of the days for when we needed to get up and out. Dinner, and of course, their own coffee was also delicious - have the trout fillet - local and awesome. The restaurant has a huge outdoor eating area that over looks the lake and has STUNNING views. Take time to walk around the property as the views are gorgeous.
If you want to get out of the bustle of the cities and go to a really beautiful, serene place, La Casona is the ticket. We stayed four nights, and we loved every minute. Again, thank you to Michael, a true gentlemen and fabulous host and owner.
