Casa Irazú

Pros: We enjoyed our short stay in the casa. It was lovely and the breakfast was delicious.

Pros: My stay with Berna was truly very pleasant. I immediately felt at home, and the cozy room made me feel at home. The accommodation is perfect for a trip to the Irazú volcano. Everything is clean, and Berna is a very friendly host.

Pros: Had a great stay with my dog and the host is very friendly.

A wonderful base from which to explore Cartago and the Volcano

Pros: The host was super kind, helpful and friendly. The garden was lovely

Fantastic value for the high standard Casa Irazu offers.

Pros: The two most important things to me are the helpfulness of the owner and the comfort of the accomdiations and I give 5* rating on both measures. Berna is a lovely lady and provides lots of good advice and excellent recommendations. The property is her old family home and has a genuine Spanish appeal with a combination of wood and tile providing a very warm atmosphere. Guests have the full use of the kitchen to prepare their own meals and a dedicated shelf in her fridge. The bedroom was comfortable with a separate entrance to a front patio overlooking lush landscaping. The property has a solid wooden door at the front proving excellent security. Berna has a deep concern for her guests. I was a bit late coming home one evening and she messaged me to make sure I was OK. Fantastic vale for the quality that Casas Irazu offers guests. Thank you Berna for your kindness and hope we meet again.

Cons: Nothing. Everything was excellent.

Pros: Wow! This Casa is like a fairy tale house ! Beautiful , cozy, and comfortable, very quiet .Berna is an excellent host..she speaks a little English... much much better than I speak Spanish .. great place to stay for a night or a few days. Her casa is far enough away from the city center to have the feeling you're in the countryside but close enough to get there quickly by taxi .

Cons: If anything, I'd say the quietness was deafening, lol

Pros: Loved everything about the place, the rustic style of the house with all its beautiful details, the big garden, the tidiness and cleanliness. The host Berna is very amiable and helpful, she showed a lot of patience explaining me the surroundings, bus lines etc. despite my poor Spanish skills. Also Berna helped me in my special situation since I had to stay somewhere else for a night and then return. It was no problem to leave most of my stuff there, despite me not actually paying for that one night. 100% recommended if want to explore Cartago and its surroundings, like the Irazú Volcano!

Pros: the owner kindly helped us with the e-reservation needed to visit Irazú Park and booked cheaper transport locally

Nice homestay with really nice family

Pros: Really nice owner and family, good kitchen and fridge to use, and nice bed. We felt like part of the family staying there. Can do laundry and both a dryer and plenty of space for hanging. We extended our stay by a couple of nights which was straightforward and handy. We also got to try some of their gallo pinto which was great :)

Cons: Walls were super thin so could hear the entire house, but everyone was quiet after 10 so wasn't a problem. Also, the smoking area is also where clothes are hung to dry which means our washed clothes smelled a bit like cigarettes.

Pros: Cleanliness, private parking space, garden, big room with confy bed, nice bathroom, very nice host Berna and her family.
