Overall Ratings & Reviews La Casona del Cafetal

Its very peaceful and safe for tourist! Beautiful area and nature

This boutique hotel is located just south of Cartago, and is the PERFECT spot if you are wanting to visit the Volcanos (Irazu and Turrialba) and/or Tapanti National Park (all highly recommended). The property is actually a working coffee plantation that sits right on beautiful Lake Cachi. The owner Michael was WONDERFUL! He was fully bilingual, truly cared about his property, and our experience of it, and was BEYOND accommodating. Our room was HUGE, very clean, had comfortable bedding, very modern bathroom, and a beautiful back patio area. WiFi worked great. Included breakfast at the property's restaurant was delicious, cooked to order, plentiful, and was provided to-go on two of the days for when we needed to get up and out. Dinner, and of course, their own coffee was also delicious - have the trout fillet - local and awesome. The restaurant has a huge outdoor eating area that over looks the lake and has STUNNING views. Take time to walk around the property as the views are gorgeous. If you want to get out of the bustle of the cities and go to a really beautiful, serene place, La Casona is the ticket. We stayed four nights, and we loved every minute. Again, thank you to Michael, a true gentlemen and fabulous host and owner.

Lovely place with great views and service.

Nice surroundings but limited service

They were not open and charged me for the stay. Ai wait at the gate and no one answered the phone. After I try to make the complain called again several times and no one answer

Good option for a weeken getaway close to San Jose

Lugar super tranquilo, para descansar. No esperen encontrar restaurantes o movida nocturna cerca. Las instalaciones muy amplias y limpias.

The Hotel is nice , but the drive way from the road to the hotel is so rough with the big rocks not a graves is kind of not inviting. The garden all dry ( because no rain) that understandable. poor instructions to the rooms and no sign The service is good and room is nice little dark

When we went through Customs and the officer asked where we were staying, he furrowed his brow when I told him Cachi. It’s not a tourist destination, nor is there any apparent reason why it should be. We chose Cachi because it looked like it would be an easy drive from San Jose, and a scenic location on the lake. It was not an easy drive. And the water level of the lake was low, so it wasn’t particularly pretty.

We love this place! The view from your breakfast table of the lake can't be beat. Lots of interesting birds. Saw 2 lifers just sitting on our back patio.

Beautiful hôtel White nice and confortable room. Excellent breakfast.

Wonderful place to stay for a relaxing night!

Beautiful setting. Absolutely excellent restaurant

Quite and very peaceful Hotel. The perfect place to get in touch with nature and ground. The rooms are very spacious, clean and comfortable with cable Tv. (in case that matters to you). Oh and you really don’t need a/c here in case you worry as I did. I actually had to turned off the ceiling fan because the nice cool temperature at night. The staff was super nice from check in to check out. However, I will recommend to arrive before the sun sets if you are planning on having diner as their restaurant closes at 7:00 pm. and there aren’t many choices around the area. Breakfast in the morning with the lake view was so good, I got the “desayuno típico” but they also have a couple other options. We will definitely stay here again!

An absolute jewel in a very, very nice area. The place is awesome! The staff fantastic! The service superb! The location to die for! And... I don't know what else needs to be said!!!!

This was just a stop over for us. Room was spacious and very clean. Little kitchen area was a bonus. We ate dinner at the restaurant and the food was awful. Everything was over cooked and microwaved, including the white rice. So bad, we didn’t even stay for the free breakfast. But otherwise a beautiful quick place to lay our heads.

The property, hotel and restaurant was amazing. The staff was pertcfect. The Turkish watch was not working and there was not a pool but other than that, amazing. The food was extremely good and would rival any 5 start restaurant.

The lake's view from the restaurant at breakfast time is unique in the area. Also you can easily watch and hear birds on the property. A very nice get away option near San Jose to stay and enjoy the valley.

Excellent

Lake view was beautiful.
