Villas in Pejibaye

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Warmly greeted by Juan, he spoke a little English and I speak a little Spanish so we managed to understand each other. He even took us to his own home nearby and introduced us to his wife and explained a few things about the area.It’s a beautiful location with stunning views. The cabin is just as the photos show, beautifully appointed and immaculately clean. A small but perfectly functional kitchen, had everything we needed. Nice toiletries in the bathroom, a comfortable bed. In addition, there’s outside space and parking. The nearby town of Orosi has plenty of shops and restaurants. You can drive there or use the footbridge across the river.

Absolutely superb location. outside town, overlooking the beautiful Orosi Valley. Lovely balcony to watch the birds in the garden. fabulous spacious accommodation.

We used this place as a stop off between Cahuita and San Jose. It sleeps 7 and offered tv and Wifi so met our needs. It’s not a pretty place inside, but it had a lovely dining table outside amongst nature, and enough kitchen stuff to make a meal. It was good value for the price we paid, but also ‘you get what you pay for’ holds true.

The backyard was wonderful to chill out, even the road in front of the house was busy. We felt peaceful and relaxed. The house is close to Walmart, so it’s convenient for family. In addition, the host is helpful and thoughtful. We appreciated his hospitality.

You pay for the stunning views The owners, as usual in this country, are very nice, very kind and helpful. The views from the small living room / kitchen as well as the master bedroom is stunning. The cabin is smaller than we expected and pretty basic. We had very limited water pressure and almost no hot water in the shower. We did not wash our hair, thanks the lack of water we could not have rinsed the soap away. There is no kettle, hence we used the … thing. It resembles a one pot electric cooker and needs approximately 20 minutes to boil half a cup of water. Later that day we where given a kettle, which improved things. Carlos, our landlord, claims the tap water to be fresh mountain water. And up to a specific point he is probably right with that. The specific point will be the tank in which he stores the water. With outside temperature above 20 degrees at daytimes, that tank is a breeding ground for things, micro-biologists are interested in. If those things actually improve your digestion is up to the test. The water from the tap is greenish and I would not use it without boiling. There is no drawer or shelf or anything you could store clothes in. So we used the second bedroom which is packed with a bunk bed and a single bed. Same in the bathroom, no space to put anything. The checkin was massively disappointing. We received a message the night before, that the room was ready for use. So we started our day early and arrived before noon, just to find the entire lodge locked. As there is no cellphone network in the area, we had to borrow a neighbours wifi and sent a message, that was answered hours later. So all we could was sit and wait… With the cabins only modest equipment, the shower with limited water, a health risk assigned to the tap water, I find the cabin with 80 USD we had to pay massively overpriced. But keep in mind: the view is amazing and the landlord very kind.

Casa Chicua is an adorable little cottage, rustic but comfortable, and Juan (the host) couldn’t have been any friendlier or more accomodating. It’s super close to the Volcán Irazu so perfect for an early morning visit there. The views from the cottage are also amazing, we awoke early to find ourselves above the clouds. Enchanting!

The perfect house on the perfect location with a perfect staff serving a perfect breakfast! That's a lot of perfect in one sentence but well desrved !!! Hope to come back one day!
