Casitas Tenorio B&B and Farm

We’ve just had a three-night stay at Casitas Tenorio in Bijagua and couldn’t recommend it more highly. It was our first stop in Costa Rica, and truly the perfect welcome to the country — warm, peaceful, and full of wildlife and charm.||The property consists of a few private villas, each with its own porch overlooking lush gardens and the rainforest beyond. Waking up to the sound of howler monkeys and then spotting them clambering through the trees was unforgettable. We also saw beautiful birdlife and even a sloth right on the property during our stay.||One of the highlights was the farm tour, which is included in your stay. It’s a wonderful introduction to the local area and a great chance to meet the animals. The whole place feels very connected to nature, without sacrificing comfort or warmth.||Nana and her team were absolutely fantastic — welcoming, kind, and incredibly helpful. They gave us excellent recommendations and even helped book activities and arrange food delivery from local restaurants ( $10 per meal, and especially helpful as unfortunately we don’t speak Spanish). Breakfasts were delicious and generous — a real treat each morning.||We also did the Jungle Life tour (we chose the 5 p.m. time slot), which was amazing — it gave us a mix of daytime and night-time wildlife experiences. Another highly recommended outing is the Tree Top Cocoa Tour, which was fascinating and fun.||Casitas Tenorio gave us the chance to experience Costa Rica’s rainforest in a truly authentic and comfortable way. We loved every minute and would definitely return. A truly special place. 🌿🐒🇨🇷

We had such a wonderful stay at Casitas Tenorio B&B. Casita El Sol fit our family of 5 perfectly. Upon arrival, everything is even better than pictured. My ten year old son even commented on how welcoming it felt. The casita was roomy with high ceilings, extremely clean, has high quality furniture throughout, huge windows on every side, and gorgeous flora and fauna all around. Air conditioning was not needed as there are large ceiling fans in every room that create the perfect amount of air flow. The rain was loud on the roof while we slept, but we loved it. We saw leaf cutter ants, which are so fun to watch, hummingbirds, a sloth, and tree frogs. The common area is adorable with lights, light music, and a bird watching area. Nanna and her team were so lovely. There is a short farm tour in the morning where you get to pet their animals and learn about all of the foods they grow to use for breakfast. A simple, but lovely, breakfast was ready for us after the tour. If you stay here, please buy jam to support Amy, which you can read about in their information book. We were all sad to leave. Amazing place and we hope to stay again!

We had an absolutely wonderful 3 nights at Casitas Tenorio and highly recommend both a stay there and in general in the Bijagua area. Nana and Jeffry were wonderful, friendly hosts who were willing to spend time chatting with you about anything Bijagua, Costa Rica, or sustainability-related. The homemade breakfast was fantastic and used ingredients fresh from the onsite farm. We had a wonderful tour of the farm one morning and got to pickup eggs from the chickens, hold bunnies, feed sheep, and pet Frankie the gigantic gentle bull! The casita was great and perfect for our family of 4 with 2 bathrooms, a wonderful shower, and a fantastic outdoor patio complete with rocking chairs and a porch swing. Yes, there is no A/C and it was a tad hot for our liking at night (we sleep with our thermostat at 66 at night so we are likely a little more sensitive to heat than many though) but that was a minor quibble and didn't impact our excellent experience!||We LOVED Bijagua and found it to be an incredibly fulfilling experience to be in a lesser tourist traveled town and found it to be very authentic. We hiked to Rio Celeste, did a sloth tour at Bijagua Rainforest Gardens (and got to observe a sloth just 5 feet or so above us), did the tour at Tree Chocolate Farm, and hiked the hanging bridges at the Heliconias Lodge. All highly recommended!

We loved our stay at Casitas Tenorio B & B. The highlight of our stay was watching two different sloths as they navigated the trees around the resort. The staff alerted us to where the sloths were and were very helpful with planning activities during our stay. We were able to see howler monkeys while sitting on our deck as well as a variety of birds. The grounds are landscaped beautifully, there's a short nature trail on property and the quiet rural setting was wonderful. The location is perfect for exploring the area with Heliconias hanging bridges located just a half of a mile away. Rio Celeste is less than 30 minutes away and the Bijaguas Waterfall and Jungle Life Tour are even closer. The hosts at Casitas were terrific. Dingo the resort dog made our stay even more enjoyable.

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!

We stayed in Casita del Sol for 2 nights at the end of our Costa Rican holiday in May and all of my family agree we saved the best for last. Casistas Tenorio is such a special place, a paradise in the rainforest run by wonderful people, Nana and Jeffrey and their farmers. Our casita was perfect for our family of 5 and was spacious, spotlessly clean and absolutely beautiful inside and out. The shower is the best in Costa Rica and the wildlife viewing from the deck is splendid. We had sloths, howler monkeys, and so many different birds to entertain us. The security person at night showed us many night creatures right from the house with his flashlight. Each morning a farm tour is offered at 7am, which I highly recommend. Even my teenagers who love their sleep said it was totally worth waking up early for! You will meet Franklin the gentle bull, cuddle sweet rabbits, and learn about the sustainable farming on the property. There is so much to do within a short drive and we wished we'd had more time. Blue River Brewery is a great dinner spot, we loved it so much we went twice!

The natural beauty of the inn was half of why we fell in love with this special place. Monkeys, lizards, sloths, birds, and beautiful exotic flowers and plants call Casa Tenorio their home and it truly felt like home to us. Jeffrey is the other reason we loved it and highly recommend the beautiful accommodations. He showed what pure Vida means. Forever grateful we stayed here! Breakfast was served with a beautiful front view row of the rain forest. The food is farm to table. We even got to take a tour of the farm. |Please stay there-you won't be disappointed!

We had a wonderful stay in La Luna at Casitas Tenorio. The view was stunning, and the close connection with the surrounding wildlife made it truly special — we even had a visit from a howler monkey! The local farm breakfast was delicious, and we really enjoyed the cozy, informative farm tour. We warmly recommend staying here.
