Located in a coffee farm in the mist of the mountains that suround the Orosi Valley. Take in Costa Rican culture while relaxing in a newly built modern cottage. Enjoy peaceful days surrounded by stunning views. This vacation property is perfect for the active adventurer or avid relaxer. Enjoy your vacation taking in surrounding attractions such as the Lankaster gardens, Irazu Volcano, the National Park of Tapanti, and the historic city of Orosi to name a few. The property is 7 km from Cartago which was once the capital city of Costa Rica. Take in a typical Costa Rican city complete with Markets, Churches and bustling activity and then retreat to your Oasis in the mountains. This property has to be experienced to truly appreciate the beauty of Costa Rican Nature.
We live in Hamilton, Canada. We are retired and have two sons and five grandchildren. We met in Quebec and are married for 42 years. My husband was born in Greece and I was born in Costa Rica. He owed a couple of restaurants and before he retired, he worked for the Hilton hotel in Toronto, he is in his 70s I an a Food Scientist and worked as Product Developer in a couple of wholesale bakeries, I am in my 60's We have a large family in Costa Rica and decided to built in Costa Rica to and go there as often as we can. The rest of the time we rent our vacation home to nice people like you.
The house is in a coffee farm, surrounded by gardens and cultivated land. It is close to a village called " Navarro" where many of our workers live. From the house you can enjoy an amazing mountains view and have a peaceful contact with Costa Rica's nature The weather is unbeatable with warm days and cooler nights for a comfortable stay.
