Casitas Tenorio B&B and Farm

We had a really nice two night stay here. Set in beautiful wetland forest (and it was wet) the lodges and central facility are set in amongst the trees with plenty of opportunities to spot the fabulous Costa Rican wildlife. We saw our first Toucans here and also howler monkeys, trails of leaf munching ants, humming birds and plenty of different species of birds. |Nana and Keith are first rate hosts who do everything to make your stay homely and welcoming. The accommodation in our Casita was very clean and spacious with two bedrooms that comfortably slept our family of 5 and a kitchen with microwave and coffee machine. There wasn’t a hob or stove so self catering is a bit challenging and no kettle for boiling water to feed my English wife’s tea addiction. That said the centre of Bijagua is a short drive away or a 25 minute walk where there are plenty of Sodas and restaurants selling Costa Rican and western cusine at reasonable prices. Would throughly recommend staying here.

We stayed at Casita Tenorio during a family trip with our 2 children aged 10 and 12. We absolutely loved it here! Such a friendly welcome a gorgeous and spacious casita and wonderful breakfast. We were looking for authentic Costa Rica and Casitas Tenorio definitely delivered. We saw so much wildlife here including sloths, toucans, owls, howler monkeys and much more, without even leaving the casitas. Breakfast was fantastic and we loved the focus on sustainability, with a tour of the on site farm. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place, you won’t be disappointed!

We are a family with 2 teenage girls and this was our favourite of all the places we stayed during our two weeks in Costa Rica! Jeffery and Nana were so welcoming. We saw sloths, howler monkeys, toucans, butterflies all within the property. The accommodation was very clean and the beds very comfortable. The girls loved the pancakes at breakfast! Whilst we were there we went tubing with Onca Tours, did the Tree Chocolate Tour, saw the Rio Celeste waterfall, swam in the Rio Celeste and walked around the Heleconia hanging bridges - all highly recommended! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

In a word, our experience at Casitas Tenorio was truly soul-satisfying! From the moment we arrived to the minute we departed, we felt at peace and at home. Jeff and Nana are consummate professionals. They are both extremely kind and compassionate individuals with a palpable love for people, nature, and their community. |We were immediately greeted by Jeff and a gregarious family of Howler Monkeys. A lazy sloth and Toucans also graced our Casita Pura Vida surroundings. The ambience was perfect, the staff was very helpful (Thanks, Jeff number 2!). The Bijagua area is so beautiful and the people are so friendly and helpful! Be sure to help the local schools by participating in the “Pack for a Purpose” project! We are already planning to return with friends!

You will get the warmest welcome when you arrive at Casitas Tenorio. Nana and Jeff were the perfect hosts explaining all about the local area and the lodges. There are plenty of places to eat in the evening in Bijagua which is a short distance from the venue. The lodges were clean and comfortable with a lovely balcony with rocking chairs.|There are lots of things to do nearby including tree top hikes, horse riding and tubing. You can't argue with having a sloth occupying a tree right outside your casita and toucans singing in the surrounding trees. In the morning you are treated to a delicour breakfast with ingredients from the farm. Whilst you sip the best coffee (in my opinion) in Costa Rica you can sit and watch all the beautiful birds and other animals as they visit the feeding table. Overall it was a really enjoyable stay. Thanks to the team at Casitas Tenorio!

We had a fantastic stay at Casitas Tenorio - a real hidden gem, nestled in the rainforest. Nana and everyone at the Casitas were so welcoming, helpful (and patient/encouraging with me as I practiced my Spanish!) Lots to do around the area - the family loved a tubing trip down the river. The highlight for us of staying at Casitas Tenorio was the amazing wildlife - a sloth hanging around in the tree right next to our casita, and eating breakfast while watching fantastic birds and squirrels at the feeding stations.

Casitas Tenorio is truly a special place. Our hosts Nana and Jefry welcomed us like family and were so sweet with our young kids. We ended up staying in the larger “Mi Casa” that was separate from the rest of the casitas, which they offered us since one of the casitas we reserved was without water. It ended up being perfect for our family and was such a comfortable and inviting space. The kids were sad to leave our casita by the end of our stay! We also loved spending time at the lodge where they serve breakfast. We saw birds, howler monkeys, and other animals every day at breakfast. There is so much to do in the area around Bijagua and Casita Tenorio’s recommendations were all excellent. The highlights were horseback riding to Rio Celeste, tubing, the chocolate farm tour and going back to swim in Rio Celeste on our own. They have a rainforest trail on the property and the kids loved the farm tour. We highly recommend Casitas Tenorio for exploring this part of Costa Rica, and will remember our experience there for many years to come. Gracias, Casitas Tenorio!

At Casitas Tenorio B&B in Bijagua, we stayed in Casita La Luna, the bungalow for two. This place is a true gem – we loved the personal care, the focus on sustainability, and the opportunity to bring school supplies for their Pack for a Purpose program. Cici and Nana helped us with scheduling all of our tours (Coffee Tour Bijagua at Finca Nueva Vida, the Jungle Life Sloth Tour, the hanging bridges self-guided trail at Heliconia Rainforest Lodge, a float trip on the Rio Corobici with RCR Rafting, and a cooking class with a local.) Nana took special care to make sure our gluten-free breakfast was prepared safely and recommended Cafe Semilla in Bijagua for safe GF dining. We will dream of a return trip and can understand why so many guests come back year after year.
