I had read Trip Advisor & noticed many positive comments about Antonella, the hostess of this small B&B in San Jose, Costa Rica. They complimented her taking care of the details as to the bookings for the things you'd like to do in CR. Not only does she help with suggestions, but she'll make sure the schedule is confirmed, the... more

This family operated hotel provided amazing service. We arrived in San Jose with many unfilled reservations. Antonella, the lovely owner kindly made all of our reservations for our eight day journey through Costa Rica. She did an excellent job. We loved staying at the hotel so much we decided to stay another night on our way back before departing Costa... more

The hotel itself is beautiful, with clean, spacious and elegantly decorated rooms. I really cannot say enough good things about this hotel and how lovely it is. The common area has high ceilings that let... more

The rooms are gorgeous, the showers are soothing, and the location is super convenient, but the real prize here is hostess Antonella! She's super cool and took great care of my mom when she was in Costa Rica and I was stuck at an airport in the States. Antonella is a great help with navigating Costa Rica, as she also... more
