Wonderful people and food !

Location is great. And the property is amazing, lots of nature, trees and birds, it was lovely yo wake up to the birds chirping in the morning.

dinner served was excellent, the owner was very personable

Solitude. Loved the property! Beautiful observatory of the valley built on the property. Wish we could have stayed longer. Great host!

The peace and serenity, the views and the friendly staff

The cabins have a breathtaking mountain view of Turrialba and Turrialba volcano. We traveled in March turtle and it was nice and cool at night. The cabins have everything you need to stay there for several days or weeks. We only stayed one night because it was a stopping point to Pacuare River Lodge for kayaking. We wished we had stayed longer. A beautiful breakfast is included and was served in their communal area where there’s also wine to purchase (after your long drive from San Jose, you’ll need a drink.) you park your car at the village in the bottom and ride up with your luggage on a 4 x 4 “Mule” and it takes six minutes up the hill. The couple that runs it and their staff are lovely. It would be a great midway point for a trip to Puerto Viejo on the Caribbean side. I would recommend taking the northern route there and not the one through Catago like we did. I could imagine someone staying there for a few weeks to write a book!

Very good experience. The hotel is somewhat remote (9km drive on unpaved road). Gilberth (the owner) is a very nice person. He really helped me when I got stuck driving a small FWD car, and prepared a very good breakfast. Highly recommended place to stay, but I would recommend driving a 4x4 in that area.

Our previous trips to CR were bus tours covering several "hot" birding spots. Moving daily, bouncing down bumpy roads covered a lots of ground but was schedule driven and hard on the joints. We were looking for a place in the middle of bird country to call home for a couple of weeks. Arte de Plumas is in a beautiful, misty, mountain valley near the town of La Suiza, 3 hours SE of SJO . The open dining hall and spacious deck look north down the valley. The weather was cool with light breezes. The skies alternated from clouds to sun, hourly, as mist rolled over the tops of the mountains. The lodge has beautiful architecture, bright, exceptionally clean, spacious rooms acoustically tuned to the rainforest sounds, no howler monkeys, great water (and coffee), and private baths with good plumbing. Every morning something new was sitting along the stairwell window sill (praying mantis, stick bug, elephant beetle, katydids, giant toads....) The pretty river running along the front of the property changes character daily. Lots of wildlife, tons of birds, amazing, friendly, accommodating kitchen with local produce and dishes. The manager is a bird guru who will talk about local species and photo ops as long as you want. The 28 acre park, in its second year of operation, is a diamond in the rough. On drizzly days you can sit on the sundeck, sip coffee and shoot humming birds and Oropendola. For the adventurer, there are several kilometers of newly constructed trails up the mountain and along the river as well as treks up and down the rocky farm road leading into the property. About half a kilometer past the end of the pavement, Arte de Plumas Birding Lodge is perfect base for day trips to destinations in the Turrialba area.

Everything is very nature close! Very nice stuff, we’d enjoyed the stay.
