Cuentan con una pequeña piscina/pileta y un sendero lleno de hermosas flores y vegetación. El desayuno estuvo estupendo, con productos frescos y locales y La atención de los anfitriones Ale y Ken fue muy especial, nos hicieron sentir como en casa. Muchas gracias!!

• Stephanie (10/5): -
• GRAHAM (10/5): Stunning location, superb hosts, quality accommodation and amazing food - Alejandra made us feel so welcome. She went above and beyond to make sure our 3 night stay was perfect. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious each day having something different all served by Alejandra who pleasantly chatted and gave us help with our exploration of the area for the day. The room was huge with everything you could possibly need for the stay. Nice shower and a spa bath. Everything spotlessly clean. Lovely gardens where we saw lots of birds and a Coyote across the fields. We met Ken the owner who each evening invited us for a drink at sunset and chat with him and other guests. A lovely man who told us how he had landscaped the gardens so beautifully. We will be returning possibly next year. Nothing
• Rian (10/5): THANK YOU! - EVERYTHING NOTHING
• James (10/5): Pamper yourself in a shangri-la environment. - Beautiful garden. Lovingly cared for. The buildings well maintained. Loved all of it.
• Amandine (10/5): Amazing place and hosts - Everything ! Alejandra and Ken were amazing hosts! From precise indications before arriving to the welcome drink, they offer assistance for everything. Room and property were gorgious, do not hesitate to stop and stay. Nothing
• Dirk (9/5): -
• Pascal (9/5): A real treasure in Heredia, perfect for a night or two to get to Costa Rica climate! - The owner (Ken) and his wife (Alessandra) were very welcoming with a glass of wine upon our arrival, right before an amazing sunset. The house is situated on the hills of Heredia in a 20 acres estate, with coffee and avocado plantations. The included breakfast was amazing with homemade bread, avocados and coffee from their estate. Well priced for the location. Would definitively be back. Nothing
• Diana (10/5): - The beauty of the place, the comfortt, the people, the excellent breakfast, and the excellent coffee
• Luigi (9/5): Agradable estancia cerca del aeropuerto de San José - Todo: el desyuno, las vistas, la tranquildad y la disponibilidad de los anfitriones Practicamente nada
• Jenny (10/5): Two nights was just enough but I could have easily stayed longer. The perfect way to arrive in Costa Rica - Everything was perfect - the warm welcome, beautiful garden, super comfy spacious room with all you need and the most wonderful organic breakfast from the farm Honestly can't think of anything
• Andras (9/5): -
• Philip (10/5): -
• June (10/5): Finca Paraiso is a beautiful place to stay and the hosts are wonderful. - Where to start? Our hosts, Ken and Alejandra were probably the best we’ve ever had. Ken invited us for a glass of wine and conversation as we watched the sunset and the next morning took us on a tour of his fantastic gardens. Alejandra was so kind and prepared outstanding breakfasts with homemade and homegrown ingredients that were healthy as well as delicious. The location is gorgeous and not far from restaurants and other interesting places to explore. Would’ve loved to stay longer. Only that driving the narrow road up was a bit scary since it’s only one lane in places, but we started getting the hang of it and all was well.
• THOMAS (9/5): -
• Ange-François (9/5): -
• Andrew (10/5): Beautiful, Calm and Very Special - We had a super time visiting Finca Paraiso. Our hosts Ken and Alejandra went out of their way to make our stay very special. The room was really great overlooking the garden and a sleeping volcano. The gardens are beautifully maintained and we enjoyed seeing some nice birds as well. The breakfast was made to order with fruit, avocado, delicious eggs dishes, home made bread and their own home grown and roasted coffee. I highly recommend Finca Paraiso to all guests visiting San Jose. nothing
• Charles (10/5): -
• Ashley (10/5): Stay here!! You won’t regret it!! - Everything!! The grounds are gorgeous! You can walk a good ways down through the garden on the side of the mountain. They have avocado trees, orange trees, bananas trees, coffee plants, flowers galore. The owner has wine with the residents and he is a delight. The room itself was very nice and very clean. It was easily the nicest place we stayed in our two week stay in Costa Rica. Nothing
• Evan Francis (10/5): Alejandra was an amazing host. She and her son were attentive for breakfast and accommodated our requests concerning die - We loved the gardens and the grounds. Beautiful flora and lots of birds to hear and see! The wifi was inconsistent and unreliable in our room.
• Helena (10/5): Sehr herzliche Gastgeberin und ein Ort zum Wohlfühlen. - Die Ruhe, die Umgebung, die nette Besitzerin und das Frühstück.
• Stephen (4/5): If booking avoid the family suite. The main properly might be better. - Images look good but the family suite is not connected to the main property and is very underwhelming. The room booked had very poor natural light. Felt old and in poor condition. Not at all what was expected. We left at 7am to see the volcano crater but were told the night before no breakfast would be available at that time. Not even yogurt or cereal was offered.
• max (10/5): - The place is beautiful and the people who run it are super friendly. It is a beautiful place with a relaxing atmosphere exactly ehst we needed
• Manfred (9/5): - Lage, Aussicht, Frühstück Schwimmbad ohne Treppe/Leiter Kein Handtuchwechsel, keine Betten gemacht
• Nadia (10/5): - Aussergewöhnliche Gastfreundschaft mit biologischer naturnaher Küche. Alejandra und ihr Sohn Daniel waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit!
• Robin (10/5): Une découverte exceptionnelle - La tranquillité du lieu, l’accueil chaleureux du personnel et le petit déjeuner exceptionnel !!! Tout était parfait !
• Jennifer (10/5): Pura Vida near the airport - A gorgeous sanctuary on the mountainside about 30 minutes from the airport. The hosts were warm and welcoming. The grounds are meticulously maintained with paths the wind around hydrangeas , orange treas and a canopy of avocados. Our suite was spacious, clean and very comfortable. We did not use the large jetted tub in its own room, but it looked like fun. The sunset over the mtns and the lights over the city were so beautiful. Morning breakfast was a treat in itself with fresh squeezed juice and homemade granola with fruit and yogurt, eggs and avocado toast— many of the items grown on the property. They grow and make their own coffee and my husband insists it is the best he’s ever had. The drive to the property is picturesque as you pass by small farms and coffee fields . Truly a retreat. I didn’t like that our stay was so brief — will have to return for a longer visit someday.
• Vera Mira (9/5): -
• Patrick (10/5): Paradise in the mountains! - Prefect peacefully place to stay. Alejandra and staff are great!
• Alex (10/5): -
• Deborah (10/5): - Homemade breakfast, comfy beds, exceptionel hosts
• Boris (9/5): A great alternative to the hotels near San Jose airport! - we enjoyed our short stay at this property and the hospitality of owners. When we researched hotel near the airport, the prices/quality/value was not there at all and we are glad we found this little gem. You do need to drive your car as the property is pretty high in the mountains with a benefit of an amazing view. The grounds are very well maintained with lots of plants and flowers. Breakfast was very good. The room itself was pretty basic with no TV, but it did not bother us as we only stayed for one night. The beds and pillows were very comfy and it was great that the blankets were with warmers. There are a few good restaurants close to the property (i think one or two within walking distance). room/bathroom was pretty basic, no TV in the room. Since this is a rural area, you might be woken up early by dogs/birds.
• Cynthia (10/5): Beautiful property that captures Costa Rica’s beauty. - Absolutely gorgeous property with the feeling of being completely isolated in the beautiful nature of Costa Rica. We only stayed one night.
• stefan (10/5): - Großes Zimmer mit Ausblick. Schöne Gartenanlage. Ausstattung mit Whirlpool, Sauna und Luftentfeuchter sehr gut. Alles nett eingerichtet- Frische Blumen aus dem Garten. Wir haben uns hier als Gäste sehr wohl gefühlt.
• Maritza (10/5): -
• Nicole (10/5): Amazing place near San Jose - The room was huge, loved the jetted tub in the middle. The breakfast was delicious - the best we had in all of Costa Rica. The grounds were amazing - it was like a botanical garden with all the amazing plants and trees they had. Plus they had a sweet little cat named Kevin that I loved snuggling!
• Christopher (10/5): -
• Raymond (10/5): Parfait - Absolument tout le jardin là chambre la literie et que dire du petit déjeuner 3 jours et 3 différents et copieux. L'accueil parfait.
• Luc1992 (10/5): - Excellent and clean rooms with a great view of the valley. The owners are very nice people and the breakfast was quite exceptional!
• Kayla (10/5): Perfect peaceful mountain getaway. - A beautiful peaceful mountain property with lovely grounds and stunning flowers down every path. Heaters and heating bars in the rooms made things extra cozy for cool nights. Breakfast was wonderful and carefully prepared each morning and the couple that runs the place are so kind and welcoming. This place will feel like a home away from home in no time for anyone who visits. Also, very close to the city (35 minutes from airport) yet you feel totally secluded with only the sounds of birds and flowing river here in the mountains. We were disappointed the fireplace in the suite is out of order, but the room was still lovely and very quaint with good amenities.
• Mary (10/5): Beautiful place to stay close to the airport - Amazing views from everywhere. Really fresh air and well taken care of garden. The owner Ken was very friendly and great to chat with and Alejandra took great care of everything
• Pia (8/5): - Hyggeligt hotel i skønne omgivelser. Meget sødt og venligt værtspar Overdådigt og lækker morgenmad Desværre virkede poolen ikke og ville gerne have haft den oplysning inden ankomst, når man rejser med en vandhund.
• Yoram (10/5): - Everything. It’s amazing in all aspects …the location, the hotel’s stunning gardens , the special room, delicious breakfast and above all Ken and Alejanda with their warm welcoming…pity we couldn’t stay more Nothing .everything was perfect
• ran (10/5): Great place and amazing hospitality - Wow, such a lovely place with amazing hosts. The garden is so nice with great view and the small creek underneath gives such a calm atmosphere. Don’t make the same mistake we did, stay for more than one night 😀. Nothing at all
• Brigitte (9/5): Perfekter Start - Alejandra und Ken sind mega sympathische Gastgeber! Wunderschöner Garten, tolles frisch zubereitetes Frühstück mit selbst gebackenem Brot. Das Badezimmer sollte mal renoviert werden.
• Patricia (10/5): Excellent - Beautiful property surrounded by green gardens , flowers and fruit trees.
• Guido (10/5): Wundervoll - Wir sind zum Schluss der Reise noch einmal zurückgekehrt, eine Oase der Ruhe mitten in einer wunderschönen Natur mit einem tollen Garten. Die Gastgeber sind so lieb und fürsorglich, das Frühstück war ein Traum. Da lohnt sich die Entfernung von ca 30 min zum Flughafen. Die Finca befindet sich auf 1.700 Meter Höhe über dem Tal, das Abends von oben schön anzuschauen ist. Alejandra gab uns noch einen Tipp für ein super Abendessen, 5 min mit dem Auto entfernt. Wenn man das nicht möchte, hilft sie dabei, dieses in die Finca liefern zu lassen. Vielen Dank! Es gibt nichts Negatives !
• alberto (10/5): Una fantástica finca en un entorno idílico - Empezaré por los anfitriones, Alejandra y Kent, muy comunicativos y respetuosos con los huéspedes, muy sociables. La habitación que nos ofrecieron fue una superior sin coste añadido, un detalle muy a tener en cuenta. La habitación disponía de jakussi y sauna privada, una maravilla. Las vistas desde la habitación fantásticas. El desayuno muy rico, con materias primas del la propia finca. Muy cerca del aeropuerto, no llevaas de 30 minutos en llegar. Nada en particular.
• Thomas (10/5): Excelente estadía cerca del aeropuerto San José - Excelente atención, instalaciones y vistas.
• Loïc (10/5): Magnifique - Nice place, nice people, nice food
• VERONIQUE (10/5): - Tout était absolument merveilleux!!
• Guido (10/5): Eine Oase der Ruhe - Alejandra ist so fürsorglich, sie wartete, weil wir etwas später kamen als geplant. Wir haben vorab per WhatsApp geschrieben, konnten so Essen mit Hilfe der Speisekarte bestellen. Das Frühstück und die Lage ist grandios. Die Anfahrt mit dem Mietwagen dauerte leider etwas länger als geplant (54 Minuten), war es aber auf jeden Fall wert.
• Rodrigo_H_Q_Cabral (10/5): Paraíso próixmo à San José - Próximo ao aeroporto, em meio a natureza, a Finca é linda, bem cuidada, o quarto é muito confortável, com uma vista deslumbrante. Ken e Alejandra são anfitriões maravilhosos. O café-da-manhã é fantástico. Tudo excelente! Não há nada a reclamar, só tenho elogios.
• Brandon (10/5): Truly a paradise - Lovely peaceful room, delicious healthy breakfast, friendly staff, beautiful views.
• Vadim (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mark (10/5): Amazing retreat with fabulous food, pure relaxation! - We loved everything about the stay. They were so nice and welcoming, the host made organic breakfast every morning that could have been from a Michelin Star restaurant. The views as soon as you get there are breathtaking. The pool is great and we were able to order a massage at the property they helped us organize. The host was so accommodating and it is truly a gorgeous retreat to just relax and take im the views. We would love to come back anytime. You can stroll in the impeccable gardens to a beautiful spring and waterfall. It took us from downtown San Jose about 40 mins during high traffic time to get there by uber
• Alexis (10/5): One of the best hotels i stayed in period. so convinient after arriving late at the ariport - Everything was exceptional Nothing we didnt like
• Cece (9/5): Superb -
• Yulia (10/5): Amazing! - What an amazing place! I wish we could stay longer and enjoy its beaty and comfort!
• Pamela (10/5): A little piece of paradise up in the cool of the mountains. - A little piece of heaven nestled in the mountains with a spectacular garden and lovely staff who go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
• Ariel (10/5): A showcase of Costa Rican hospitality - The moment we arrived at Finca Paraiso, Ken and Alejandra welcomed us like family. Their mountain retreat, conveniently located just 30 minutes from the airport, offers the perfect balance of accessibility and natural seclusion. Our room provided breathtaking mountain views, surrounded by lush vegetation that attracted numerous bird species. The garden Ken has developed is truly impressive, showcasing the diverse flora of Costa Rica's highlands. Breakfast became a daily highlight we eagerly anticipated. Each morning featured delicious fresh fruits harvested directly from their farm, complemented by a rotating selection of traditional Costa Rican dishes that gave us a wonderful taste of the local cuisine. What made our stay truly special was the warm hospitality. Alejandra's attentive hosting made us feel completely at home. We enjoyed spending time with their pets and genuinely felt like part of their family rather than just guests passing through. Finca Paraiso lives up to its name as a "paradise farm", a mountain sanctuary where nature, comfort, and genuine hospitality combine to create an unforgettable Costa Rican experience.
• Grace (10/5): Exceptional - This place was nothing short of amazing. The people were nice and welcoming. The breakfast was delicious. The room was comfortable and beautiful. We enjoyed the sauna and jet bathtub, walking around the garden and taking in the scenery. They also had the best tasting water I have ever tasted.
• Rick (10/5): Worth every penny. - The whole experience. The place, Ken and Alejandra are super kind and friendly. Great breakfast and ambiance in general. We really enjoyed it
• Lukas (10/5): Exceptional -
• Shyam (10/5): A tuscany in Costa Rica. Warm, Cozy and gorgeous place to stay. - A slice of Tuscany in the lush green landscape. Warm hospitality with cool breezes. Uniquely furnished and well equipped cottages. This is the paradise that is Finco Paraiso. The beautifully planned gardens were a treat to the eyes with fresh fruits and colorful flowers all around us. The breakfast was delicious with locally grown produce and rich and fragrant Costa Rican fresh ground coffee. The hosts were gracious and took the time to check on us when there was an unexpected black out( blackouts hardly ever happen there!). Everyone in our group wished to return with our partners and families as we just could not get enough of this jewel near San Jose! Nothing. It was perfect in all ways.
• Andy (10/5): Beautiful peaceful stay at 5800 feet with top notch service - Mountain retreat not far from San Jose. Beautiful gardens and a lovely breakfast. So friendly and helpful staff. All spectacular- no dislikes.
• Mark (10/5): Take the taxi they provide. Coco advised us well and he was very reasonable. - It is extremely rare to find pure mountain spring water anywhere. The owner showed us his stream in the high mountain and how it gets pumped through a UV filter straight to our room. It is the best tasting, purest water. I'd go back for just that. Nothing in Costa Rica is ADA compliant. Plan to walk upstairs to get downstairs!
• Bryony (9/5): Great introduction to Costa Rica and the central valley. Perfect place to start self drive holiday. - We drove ourselves after a long flight and arrived after dark to a warm welcome from Alex. The Finca has fabulous views, gardens, was comfortable and felt very safe. The breakfast was delicious and a sunset drink with the other guests and owners was an enjoyable way to start our holiday with tips and advice. The owner arranged a couples massage as short notice for Valentines Day was very good. I loved the flowers in the room.
• Eleonore (10/5): Perfect - Breakfast was perfect, and Alejandra was so unbelievably helpful and kind!
• Peter (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent Talk with our Hosts, very spacious room, and very tasty healthy, selfgrown breakfast incuding selfproduced bread!
• David (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lucinda (10/5): Lush tropical property and innovated design - Lush paradise! Really nice hosts who were helpful and generous. Good breakfast
• Jane (9/5): A fabulous locations and wonderful hosts - Ken and Alejandra were wonderful hosts. The finca is in a beautiful location, the gardens are wonderful and the breakfasts were delicious. A wonderful place to stay on the hills above San Jose. A couple of comfortable chairs in the suite would have been useful for colder evenings.
• Kaleb (10/5): Peace and beauty in the same place. - The peaceful scenery, and all the beautiful nature around the place. Nothing, it was amazing
• Theresa (9/5): We loved the place: the perfect, relaxing place to end our stay in Costa Rica - lovely hosts Ken and Alejandra delicious home cooked breakfast featuring fruits and vegetables from the gardens gorgeous flower-filled grounds,. nestled in verdant hillsides spacious room with sweeping views of the mountains and city lights in the distance near San Jose Airport; not far from Boas Volcano National Park and La Paz Waterfall Finca is located on a hillside; all roads leading to and from it are winding, narrow for 2-way traffic, and not always smooth
• Karim (9/5): I would definitely book again if in San Jose - The garden was wonderful. The room was big and comfortable. The staff super friendly. We likes the breakfast very much The room was a bit dark even with the lights on. We would have loved a restaurant in the hotel.
• Amy (10/5): Exceptional - We absolutely loved our stay. The hosts were so welcoming and helpful, and the property was beautiful. We especially enjoyed freshly-made breakfast every morning on the beautiful terrace overlooking the garden and valley. We would definitely return! Nothing!
