My husband and I recently stayed at Fincas Aquarius for two nights while exploring Monteverde, as we wanted to be away from the hustle and bustle. The location is a little difficult to get to without a good car, but it’s absolutely worth the effort. Fincas Aquarius is nestled in a beautiful valley, with wide-sweeping views all the way down to the ocean. It’s honestly breathtakingly beautiful. Once we arrived, we were greeted by our host, the incredibly welcoming Jan. He made us feel super welcome, and honestly was such an amazing host. Nothing was too much trouble, even to the point where he rescued us when our car got stuck up a rather tricky hill nearby (tip - get a four-wheel-drive car!) Our room was incredible, featuring a sleek and modern design, a beautifully comfortable bed, and possibly one of the biggest bathrooms I’ve seen. The room was very spacious, but the main highlight was the balcony, showing off that million-dollar view. We ate with Jan on both nights, as we didn’t fancy driving into Monteverde after dark. He was a fantastic cook, and it was lovely that he opens his kitchen to guests. The food was great, and he uses a lot of ingredients he grows on-site. Locally, there are lots of things to do. We had a great time at The Original Canopy Tour, Finca Ecologica San Luis which is just down the road, and El Cafetal Coffee Tour which was fantastic. Overall, we had an incredible time staying at Fincas Aquarius. The entire experience was fantastic.

Finca Aquarius is a very special place to visit. It is not your “normal” hotel. You feel at home immediately and are welcomed by the owner Jan, his family and lovely pack of dogs. He and his family are so friendly, you can just simple be and enjoy the incredible mountainview, or have great conversations about live, work in the garden, cook or even become “Senor Fermentino” and ferment vegetables from the own garden. Around the finca there are many things to do like horseback riding and bird watching (do so with Diana and Kai!).
