Finca Rosa Blanca Coffee Farm And Inn

Finca Rosa Blanca, Near San José, Costa Rica - Explore & Book

"To enter your room at Finca Rosa Blanca is to walk into a work of art. Curving white art nouveau columns, elegant arches and beautiful hand painted murals make bedrooms into interior gardens. Bathrooms are places of pleasure, with Jacuzzis in organic forms, lined with mosaic tiles. Step onto your private balcony and land falls steeply away to verdant valleys and hillsides striped with coffee farms. Yet, it's an easy drive from San José Airport. Friendly bilingual staff will arrange hikes in national parks and trips to botanical gardens with the resident naturalist guide. This organic coffee estate is a perfect place for your first few nights in the country - and many guests can’t resist returning for their last, too. It’s a very seductive place. Behind all the luxury are an inspiring Californian couple who have become, unintentionally, pioneers of sustainable tourism in Costa Rica. Rosa Blanca was the country’s first environmentally-friendly hotel, and remains a model of how to protect the natural world without sacrificing style or comfort.
