“I see a real sense of place at this lodging, a collection of unique wooden houses set amongst gardens that create a quiet escape in San Jose. I like that it's family-run and eco-conscious, with a focus on Costa Rican culture expressed in the art and decor. The made-to-order breakfast using local products sounds like a genuine highlight.”
