"Finca Rosa Blanca is a 14-key inn and sustainable coffee farm offering a signature shade-grown organic coffee tour. Guests can enjoy gourmet cuisine, an infinity pool, wellness center, and suites with private verandas and handcrafted artwork." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"A family-owned coffee plantation inn in the highlands that practices sustainable, organic agriculture and celebrates local art, coffee, and cuisine. The boutique property occupies the family’s original 1974 home and offers 14 individually designed suites with hand-painted murals, locally crafted wooden furnishings, free-form hot tubs, and unlimited on-site coffee grown on the estate. The farm-to-table restaurant sources ingredients from fruit orchards and an organic vegetable greenhouse and serves dishes such as coconut milk soup with root vegetables and braised beef tenderloin with stewed plantains. An educational organic coffee tour and cupping are highlights, and the chemical-free infinity pool sits amid orchids, bromeliads, and volcano views." - Devorah Lev-Tov
"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. Highs An elegant and unique place to stay: each room is a work of art, with sumptuous beds, gorgeous linens and private verandasClose enough to offer an alternative to staying in San José - and much more relaxingStylish dining room serving delicious Costa Rican fusion cuisine and fine winesBeautiful setting in gorgeous tropical gardens, with stunning views from your balconySustainable tourism par excellence: as well as having impeccable green credentials, the owners are deeply involved in the local community and contribute profits to schools Lows If you like sleek, anonymous hotels, this isn’t for youWhile close to the airport (20 minutes), Rosa Blanca is a 45-minute drive away from San José itself, so don't expect nightlife/lively bars in the immediate areaNot the cheapest place to stay, but worth it!No twin beds available, but one suite has a double and a twin, and the villas have 2 adjoining suites with kingsize beds" - Christabelle Dilks
