Cottages in Siquirres

Beautiful little guest house surrounded by trees and wildlife. All kinds of birds, butterflies, tree frogs, and howler monkeys. Very tranquil and peaceful. And I was very well looked after by the hosts.

Great location in the edge of the rainforest, we saw as many species of frogs as we had during the previous three week in Costa Rica. The host was really friendly, he showed us the garden, and told a lot about the plants and animals.

It was the perfect farm experience. We were travelling for one month through Costa Rica and this place was simply magical. It was a real local experience, no other tourists around. The Mendez family, especially Ana, offered a great hospitality. The breakfast was delicious. We spent also time at the pool and with the many animals that the farm has to offer. Ana was also teaching me how to cook with woods and fire. The whole area is very peaceful and has a great variety of trees and flowers. From the farm you can see the Turrialba volcano, which was always a stunning view.

I really can’t rate this place high enough! Leopoldo is an excellent host, and the house is just perfect. Easy to cook and prepare food, with decent equipment. It’s very rustic, remote and peaceful. The views of the town are spectacular. The fog/mist/cloud that decent on the place is a sight to behold. I’ve never stayed in a place where you can open the door and walk into fog!! For Breakfast Leopoldo supplied a tray of eggs, a large bunch of bananas, a loaf of bread, melons, apples and a pineapple. perfect for two adults and two kids for five days. The fire place was so nice, it was the perfect place to have one, and thankfully fire wood was supplied by the host. The drive to the house from the main road is rather difficult. You DEFINITELY need to have a 4x4 or at least a AWD vehicle. We had a Suzuki Vitara which was perfect for it, but the clearance was only just enough, as we scraped the underneath once or twice.
