Loved everything! Really great place to stay in San Jose. The unit is very modern and spotless clean! The view is second to none! Car elevator is cool. Receptionist was very helpful. They kindly let us stay on the rooftop to accept some business calls after the check-out. I also loved the gym and jacuzzi with a view. The check-in did not require a key and was contactless. This is a jewel of a stay!

    Best hotel and breakfast during our 5 weeks in Costa Rica!! The house resembles like a lovely decorated private villa. Lourie and her maid Miriam are incredibly helpful, welcoming and inspiring. The rooms are cosy, very clean and elegantly decorated like the rest of the house and the wonderful garden. Plus: the hotel is close to the airport but nevertheless quite and there are many good restaurants within walking distance.
