Great and reasonably priced location to stay overnight on the way to Irazú Volcano. We liked walking proximity to Cartago city center, kitchen availability, the garage to safely park the car, private bathroom. Mauricio and his brother were very hospitable having provided information about places of interest and catering nearby, addressing our needs, serving simple breakfast, sharing water bottles and tea. Thanks a lot to Mauricio who informed me of a need to reserve the Volcano area entrance tickets online otherwise we'd have to do it at the top of the mountain with limited Internet connection potentially facing tickets have been sold out.

Located just 6.8 km from Jardin Botanico Lankester, Casa Irazu offers accommodation in Cartago with access to a garden, a shared lounge, as well as bicycle parking. This homestay provides free private parking, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a picnic area.

Spacious room with a double bed below and a single bed above, can easily accommodate 3. The room is well prepared for the colder nights around Cartago. Toilet is shared and very clean, as is the room. There is a great reading lamp near the bed and a shared veranda with armchairs looking to the garden, nice to sit down for breakfast or dinner. The well-equipped kitchen and fridge can be used and Berna, the owner, leaves coffee done every morning. She is a school teacher for ethics, stands up very early and returns home at around 5 pm. She is really nice to talk to and ready to help or advice on options around. The house has a recycling policy and offers plenty of different containers to dispose of garbage. The address can be easily found in google maps (coordinates are correct). Calle 0 is far from central Cartago but conveniently located near the main road that goes to Parque Nacional Irazu. There are several restaurants close to the house, and a supermarket Maxi Paly at less than 1 km.
