Vista del Valle, Plantation Inn

Overview

Description

While staying here, guests can explore the La Paz Waterfall Gardens and Poas volcano; we are only 1.5 hours away from both of these beautiful spots. Shoppers will be thrilled with Sarchi, which is only 15 minutes away; it has every souvenir that you can imagine. The botanical garden in Sarchi is a wonderful start to your vacation to give you a good base for the flora.

For those who would like to stay onsite, we offer one of the best horse tours in the country; it winds through a coffee plantation to the top of a mountain where you can see four volcanoes on a clear day. We also offer in-room massages and relaxing afternoons at the pool or Jacuzzi.

Vista del Valle is located only 20 minutes from the international airport, but it feels like its hours away.
