“Very beautiful, wonderful service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 2, 2012

Within twenty minutes of arrival I was lolling in the Jacuzzi, and the swimming pool staring at the moon. Lovely property way up dirt roads into sugar cane fields - a zillion brilliantly colored birds.
Very gracious staff. Excellent food. My only complaint is with travelers who don't stay there when
they are in Turrialba.

Room Tip: My lovely room faced out towards hills, the front porch.

“A good port in a storm”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 11, 2012

This hotel is a few kilometers from where we live in Costa Rica. I would not normally use it because home is only thirty minutes away. But during a bad storm recently all the roads were blocked and Villa Florencia was the first hotel that came to mind.

They were very helpful and friendly and I would not hesitate to recommend them to others. They are about 4 kilomters out of Turrialba. They have a pool, a restaurant and a very quiet atmosphere. The only drawback for me was that they have no air conditioning which for bronchial problems in a very humid storm made it difficult. But you can't have everything, and this would not bother most people.

Room Tip: They do have junior suites with a jacuzzi. Nice for a young couple

“Very nice”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 20, 2012 via mobile

We stayed there for 4 nights, with our two kids. It was very nice. Host are just so nice and welcoming. Pool is good surrounded by huge trees with many birds. Wonderful jacuzzi and very good food, which is important as the hotel is about 5 miles from Turrialba center, ir is better to have dinner in site with kids. I recommend this hotel. From there you can visit coffee plants easily

“Hidden Gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 4, 2012

We arrived weary after 12 hours of travel, including multiple wrong turns which ended up being the long route to Turrialba. The host and staff were so kind and accommodating, I could not get over how they went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. The following day, as we left for a rafting trip, they followed us to the van with pool towels. They let us keep our room and come back and shower in the late afternoon after the excellent rafting trip with Green Frog Adventures (also highly recommended). The open-air common rooms, beautiful grounds surrounded by sugar cane, and friendly staff who seem to enjoy sharing information about the region make this the place to stay in Turrialba.

“Beautiful!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 17, 2012

BEAUTIFUL! We had no reservation, and arrived there late in the evening. We were very nicely welcomed, and received a great room, with the view of the volcano as we saw it the next morning. Room was big and clean, so was the bathroom. The Villa's surroundings is beautiful, wonderful view, nice vegetation and beautiful birds. Loved the Jacuzzi and pool! Breakfast was the typical- but although it was only our 3rd destination (of 7), looking back I can still say they make best rice and beans. The coffee was great too! The owners are a lovely couple; they shared some pictures and information of the area. If we could, we would have probably stayed more than two nights. only one little thing they need to take care of: insects in the room- no nets and insects managed to somehow enter the room.
