Finca Rosa Blanca Country Inn Review

Set amid fields of green coffee, this exclusive, hilltop bed-and-breakfast hideaway has a much-deserved reputation as one of the country's sumptuous splurges. The Gaudí-esque main building has a soaring two-story atrium and white-stucco arches, set among tropical flowers and shaded by massive fig trees. Rooms are filled with interesting artistic flourishes, as well as such luxuries as Jacuzzi bathtubs and 100% bamboo sheets. The spacious two-story suite, popular with honeymooners of all ages, is out of a fairy tale, with a fantasy bathroom painted with rain-forest mural, and a spiral staircase with a carved-serpent handrail leading up to a romantic, window-lined tower bedroom. The owners work hard to make the hotel as eco-friendly as possible, earning it the top rating for sustainable tourism. Prix-fixe gourmet dinners are available at chic El Tigre Vestido restaurant ($$$$), but lunch on the terrace with its spectacular view of San José down in the valley and the Escazú mountains beyond is a better value. After a day of touring, guests can unwind in a full-service spa.

    Peaceful Paradise

    What an AMAZING property! My boyfriend and I stayed in late June 2012. Though it was only for one night, the staff and accommodations were beyond our expectations. I booked online and the response was very quick and booking process easy. The tour of the coffee plantation was a great and informative. The restaurant overlooked a park and had a view of San Jose in the distance. They served amazing food and the service was excellent! I highly recommend this place and plan on returning in a few years!

    Finca Rosa Blanca Country Inn Review

    This place is BY FAR my favorite hotel in Costa Rica. It is quaint and charming, with beautiful Central American art and an incredible tour of their organic coffee plantation. Everyone should stop by on their vacation to Costa Rica.

    Finca Rosa Blanca Country Inn Review

    I stayed at Finca Rosa Blanca because I went to San Jose for serious medical treatment. I have extreme allergies to many chemicals and the staff assured me that everything they use for building, cleaning and foods is as natural or as organic as possible. They went so far as to email me ingredients lists for their cleaners, and to clean the room with vinegar for my arrival. When I got there, it was perfect. As but one of many examples of the extraordinary treatment I received, the chef, Pedro, called his mother in San Salvador to get a recipe for pancakes that I could eat despite my food allergies. Everyone treated me with kindness, friendliness and exquisite care. I was pampered! The hotel is gorgeous. The pool is non-toxic and fabulous. The food and service are excellent. It could not have been better.
