La Auxiliadora - Classic Mountain Chalet

The owner greeted us with a beautifully set table with a fresh loaf of bread, butter and an assortment of tees and fresh coffee. They assisted us with information to local stores and restaurants. The house looks just as shown on their site. It is located in the highlands approx 40 min drive from the airport, in a quiet neighbourhood. The house is equipped with everything to make the stay worry free. The instructions offered by the owner were precise and complete. The kitchen and livingroom are nicely appointed with a working wood burning fireplace that may be needed on the occasional cool nigh. Be mindful that the house is located at an elevation of 1840 meters. We used this location as a midpoint for visiting the Poas volcano and La Paz Waterfall and the Irazu Volcano in the opposite direction. There is a very large bedroom with bathroom on the main floor and two bedrooms and washroom on the upper level. There is a third washroom on the main level. All bedrooms have large windows with Costa Rican views. The entire house was spotless. A maid service is available for laundry. We had a nice stay and would not hesitate to return.

Our group had a wonderful stay at the Chalet! It's in such a peaceful neighborhood with lots of green space. We got cozy around the fireplace in the evenings and had great amenities. The soaps in the bathroom were all natural, the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook and even had maid service every other day to help with washing the dishes and towels. Silvia was a great host, living right next door, she was available when we needed something and was very responsive and welcoming! The only inconvenience was the neighbor's dogs who barked every morning - Silvia apologized in advance for this. Would definitely recommend this place for a peaceful stay in the mountains yet not far from the city.
