Memorable and relaxing
We had plenty of space for 4 guys. We spent most of our time in living room or balcony. The sound of the fountain and architecture of the house made it peaceful. You have the full view of the city. The staff were helpful and communicative over WhatsApp. We asked for messages and coordinated with professionals familiar with house. There’s a bit of travel to and from San Jose or sure but it’s worth it. Always tell driver to follow the signs and the street has white stones lining the roadway. Be patient and enjoy everything the house has to offer. Best place for group of guys or families. The weather was nice and cool like central AC. Chili at night. Take long pants and long sleeves. Just in case. Will definitely come back.

Peaceful oasis
We had the best stay at this beautiful house with great views. The house is so spacious and beautifully furnished. The heated pool was a huge hit. The manager and team were fantastic. Before our stay, they helped us with finding a car rental company that would bring the car to the house the morning after our late night arrival. They arranged transport for us from the airport as well, with booster seats for our girls. The manager met us at the property and everything was smooth and easy. We also selected a menu for a meal which Cris prepares for us and it was outstanding! We loved everything about the house and the experience and would stay there again.

incredible view and gardens
This house is beautiful, well maintained, with incredible gardens and view. the only draw back is the lack of bathrooms for the number of beds....one of the bedrooms off the kitchen is awkwardly located, and another is across the entire house from a bathroom. The staff is delightful, Christina is a good cook, and everyone was super helpful in arranging outings for a 3 generational family. We had a wonderful vacation at Casa Britto.

Awesome
My retreat group loved our stay at Casa Britto.. The home, the furnishings, the view, and the help that the owners, Zeida, David and the rest of the crew gave us every day starting with guiding us there, was top-notch. From the beautiful pool area and three dining areas (we couldn't believe the furnishings and artwork), to the roof and upper garden paths and the Zen little covered "lookout" with fireplace (amazing for meditating or yoga), we found our days at Casa Britto positively enchanting and I definitely hope to return.
