We needed a place to overnight in San Jose before heading off to the Dominical area for a further seven nights. Having been in the travel industry for over 35 years, I can say with confidence that Steve and Rita not only provided information about everything one would want to know about various Costa Rican traveling quirks and logistical details...

I looked at what other people had written so I could say something unique about Casa Bella Rita. Rita helped me via email to plan our family trip to Costa Rica even though we'd never met, oh many, many other people already said that. Rita and Steve made a delicious and generously portioned breakfast, oh yes, almost everyone has mentioned... More

The house with its rooms is unique: the furnishement is tastefully in every single detail, the view over the Canyon is amazing and the garden is perfect... More
