Close to Poas volcano, to La Paz waterfall hotel and estate, on the route to La Fortuna. Tasteful breakfasts and the possibility to have dinner. Very nice and accommodating staff!

Excellent service and very welcoming team. They treated us like family. Special attention and details towards our child was really appreciated. The houses are simple but very clean and well kept. We had excellent coffee available in the room. The garden is beautiful and very well kept. The breakfast is delicious. We throughly enjoyed our stay! Pura Vida!

Very clean and cosy. Owner super sweet, enticing us with strawberries grown there and delicious food, very attentive and accommodating to all our requests. The chalets were thematic, each had a flower name and you had that glower planted in front of it, which we found very cute.

A very convenient location. short drive to local attractions: Poas Volcano NP, Starbucks coffee farm & La Paz waterfall garden. They are within 25 minutes driving. Also, the staff is excellent try hard to accommodate the customers requests. I traveled with a disabled mother in her 80+ years old. Had no issues moving around the property (I drove) & sitting out on the bench outside was enjoyable. When we stayed, it was windy, but the chalet is positioned in a way that you wouldn’t directly get the wind. Excellent breakfast.

Only thing the bed in Cala was a bit hard for us.. being older we prefer a softer bed for our old bodies ;)

We loved our stay at Hortensias, the villas are so cute, the little electric fireplace was used a couple nights just to cut the dampness. Had two meals for supper and we enjoyed them, breakfast was also very good. Highly recommend.

Room without a view. Just one strawberry offered for breakfast. No strawberries available for lunch/dinner other than batido (and it was a cold and wet day)

Staff: professional and polite. Excellent hot shower - Bravo. Table tennis.

My husband slept well but I prefer a softer bed.

Dinner and breakfast were amazing! The property sat high on the mountain with spectacular views! The owner was very considerate and made our time there special.

This was one of our favorite stays on our trip in Costa Rica! The staff was the most kind and engaging! It truly blew us away. Every detail here was so lovely.— all the hydrangeas, the strawberry farm, the cabins and the breakfast! The cabins were cozy and decorated so wonderfully. We loved getting up early with local coffee in our room, seeing the strawberries being picked and looking at all the flowers and the views! The breakfast here was the absolute best of the trip with homemade jam and so much more! It was a 45 min drive to the airport and absolutely perfect for our last night. You could feel the love, care and hospitality put into this family-owned place. Hortensias Chalet Vara Blanca is at the top of our list of places to recommend and somewhere we would love to come back to someday!
