• Timothy (10/5): - A beautiful location with views of the mountain valley. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Norman in particular was helpful and spent time talking to us about some of the costa Rican areas of interest including the local strawberry enterprise. I recommend the strawberry crepe.
• Gus (10/5): - Very quiet , away from the noisy city. Near the Poaz Volcano. Breakfast included, delicious ! The 3 max-person accommodations are great, well equipped for a rustic, yet comfortable stay. Staff were vert attentive. Thanks Norman and Hortensias Chalet staff !

• Carla (10/5): - The best thing about this property was the people. Everyone was so gracious and pleasnt and helpful. You can tell they love what they do. Our chalet was perfect. They are small, but very comfortable. It was tucked back in a garden, which was fun to walk through . We would definitely go back to this lication.
• Michael (10/5): Perfect all around!! - Amazing stay! We originally booked 2 nights because it was our first time visiting Costa Rica and didn't want to commit to more in one area, but we loved it so much that we decided to stay a 3rd night. Located close to many amazing waterfall hikes, the Poaz volcano, and the La Paz waterfall. Breakfast included was a huge plus, and their dinner menu and quality was excellent! Very nice cottage style home, amazing views, and an excellent staff. Highly recommend!
• David (6/5): Fair but not 3 stars - I think this property need to be reevaluated. I don’t think it is worthy of 3 stars. The room was small and the only heat for our cold mountain night was provided by a small space heater that was not adequate. The staff was nice, but the accommodations were sparse.
• Paul (10/5): - Very Nice attention to detail Rooms have heat & hot water Rooms are very quiet & private Service was Excellent from all employees !!
• Edgar (10/5): - Excellent Service.
• Karina (10/5): - The property is well taking care. Spectacular views.The Christmas decoration was beautiful. The room are super neat and I love the detail than the garden outside match the name of the chalet. The food is great and the service even better. Everything about this place is amazing👏. Way to wow!! your customers. Congratulations!!!

• Linda (10/5): - A fantastic location just outside San Jose, which made for a superb location first few days in Costa Rico. Close to Poas volcanoe La Paz waterfalls and the fantastic Cinchona waterfall trails. Staff absolutely first class; warm welcome and extremely helpful. One bag failed to arrive with oyr party - staff so helpful to ensure airline delivered to chalets within 36 hours.

• Matthew (10/5): - Great Place!
• brian (10/5): Quaint villas - In a beautiful location. No TV in villa, just be aware. Check in was a breeze and great service. Not far from La Paz Waterfall and gardens. Free breakfast was good and there is a good soda around the few corners of road. Would stay again.
• G (10/5): Unique Costa Rican Chalet with a View - Pride of ownership, and it shows. Quaint chalet, wonderful restaurant with a beautiful view of the valley and close to all amenities and natural tourist attractions. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Excellent value.
• Cheyla (10/5): - Gorgeous views!
• Susan (10/5): - This property is unique and charming. My wife and I loved the individual chalet we stayed in and everything was clean and neat. The food is all homemade and very delicious. The homemade jams are especially good. Since there are only 8 chalets, it feels like you’re all alone. The location is off the beaten tourist track and the view is spectacular! We really loved this place!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Recommend - The cabinet was modern and very clean inside. Plenty of water and coffee in our room. We had a fabulous dinner at the on-site restaurant and afterwards, enjoyed the games room.
• Tracy Baroni (8/5): - This is a unique property that fits the uniqueness of the location. Staff are lovely. Food is very good.
• Sandy (10/5): - We arrived near 10 pm due to late flight, they waited for us, were outside when we arrived! So appreciate it. The office was closed and we got worried at first! Chalet was BEAUTIFUL! Fresh flowers in the room, very clean, coffee pot in room. It was chilly, and there was a wonderful heater in the room next to the bed. In the morning, breakfast was great! and Super nice staff. I would ABSOLUTELY stay again next time I'm heading to Poas which was also fantastic! Do not miss staying here for sure, you couldn't ask for a better quaint place! Worth the price for sure!!!!
• Xavier (8/5): - Very cute , beautiful views from the restaurant of the volcanos
• Ruthie (10/5): - Everything about the stay was perfect. The room was clean and very cute. The property the hotel is on is beautiful with a gorgeous view. The best part however was the staff and owners themselves. They were beyond accommodating. Norm, found out we were leaving early and made us sandwiches to go. The Christmas decorations were beyond warming and the restaurant had the most delicious food! I highly recommend staying here.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Wonderful stay. One night romantic getaway.
• Larry (8/5): - Landscaping was gorgeous! The chalets are quite small.
• Richard (10/5): - Wonderful
• Verified traveler (8/5): Cute Cottage style Villas - The rooms very cute and could have used some minor updates but were clean. It was great to have our own little villa and the attached building has a game room and a restaurant which we enjoyed very much. Everything locally closes very very early so not much to do after 8 pm otherwise.
