Finca Rosa Blanca

Boutique
Central Valley, Costa Rica

Finca Rosa Blanca is a graceful countryside mansion set on a hilltop in Costa Rica’s Central Valley. The hotel is set in nine acres of tropical flora and fruit trees with stunning views of distant volcanoes, cloud forests and coffee plantations.

There are two master suites, seven junior suites and two two-bedroom villas. The interiors are decorated with Costa Rican hardwoods, bamboo ceilings and arch-shaped windows, making the rooms elegant and sophisticated.

The hotel has a fabulous spring-fed pool, hot tub and Jacuzzi all surrounded by enchanting gardens. Relax under the cascading waterfall that feeds into the hillside infinity pool, while enjoying spectacular views of the area.

Why we like Finca Rosa Blanca

For the beautiful location in the Central Valley away from the city of San Jose. With great birdlife, the property is light and airy with bright murals and has its own organic coffee from the onsite plantation.

Activities

Finca Rosa Blanca has many activities to experience during your stay. On-site, one of the most popular activities is their coffee tasting tour. The guided bird-watching tour includes a naturalist guide who will walk with you through the grounds and into the surrounding coffee farms where over 130 species have been recorded. Further afield guests can experience volcanoes, family-run farms to learn about how vanilla, pepper, cacao and pineapples are grown, as well as hiking, rafting and community visits. In addition, these activities, their chemical-free pool, spa and treatment menu are also waiting for you.

Great work from John. The additions of zip-lining and surfing lessons were exciting experiences that we would not have considered without his expert guidance.
