Nestled among the coffee fields and mountains of San Pablo de Heredia, Costa Rica, we are only minutes away from downtown San Jose and the airport (10KM or 6.2 miles), and for a safe, reliable, private ride from the airport to your room, our in-house driver can pick you up for a fee less than what you would pay for a public taxi.   This service is also available to catch your return flight.

After you're here, drop your bags in your room and check up on tours, get directions or advice.  Then perhaps enjoy an intimate, candlelit gourmet dinner.  With the style and grace of a big hotel but without the prices.

Sit around our big, wooden table, family style, while windchimes sing in the Costa Rican night breeze. Chat and meet other guests, or local Costa Rican friends who may drop by.    

The next day, awake to a glourious morning, and come down to enjoy your complimentary "all-you- can-eat", breakfast. (And yes, we take requests.)

So many options are available for you like my all-day private tour to the majestic Vocano Poas and exotic La Paz Waterfall.  

Or have a private tour to the capital city of San Jose.  Be guided on a safe excursion to learn about history and architecture, attend museums and concerts, dine in fabulous restaurants, or dance the night away in clubs. 

On early Sunday mornings, accompany me to the farmers' market where you will see many exotic fruits and vegetables.  

We help you get on board with group tours to rafting down whitewater rivers, trekking the jungles of nearby rainforests, spotting exotic animals, butterflies, and birds.

The Benefits of Being a Guest in Somebody’s Home: a unique experience in a Bed and Breakfast, your stay at Casa Hollanda may be less anonymous, requiring more consideration from you of your surroundings during your stay, than say, at a hotel.

This is a stay tailored for YOU, and your individual tastes.  By being a guest in my house, you have your own, personal friend to help you out with guided tours, translation, and information on travel tips.  All from a native American's point of view.  English is no problem here. 

Or if you have it all planned out, just come and stay in a private setting.

Since there is so much more of a personal touch, many times it’s possible to be highly specialized, like doing my best to accommodate a certain diet.  Or discussing with you about your upcoming trip, finding out what you're interested in, and e-mailing you in advance a suggested itinerary. 

But wait!  There's more.  Depending on circumstances there are many perks like FREE access to laundry facilities, FREE garage space for your rental, FREE transportation to and from Heredia and San Jose area tourist sites, FREE wireless Internet access, FREE cable, unlimited cups of Costa Rican superb coffee, the balcony, classical piano concerts, refrigerator space for the snacks you buy, card readings, or even homemade ice cream containing many of the exotic fruits in Costa Rica!

Wow!  Relax!  'Cause you're with your friends here. Come visit us in beautiful Costa Rica!
