When we stayed the owners were away in Australia, and it was unclear when, or even if, they were to return- the place is being looked after by members of their family & when we were there a very helpful, knowlegable 'volunteer' Kelly from the US was living in their house on the property- she is a friend of the...

We stayed six nights in one of the two ultra-comfortable casitas, and enjoyed hiking the nearby forest trails and visiting the Volcan Tenorio. But I have to say that our best monkey, sloth and toucan sightings were at Casitas Tenorio, a short walk from the casita! We also loved the delicious home-cooked breakfasts with cheese, butter and milk produced right... More

If you really want to experience Costa Rica this is the place to stay....off the beaten path, close to amazing hiking and natural wonders, and excellent staff who will take good care of you. My only suggestion is to bring ear plugs....the chickens rise early.

This place is magical… a nature-lover and bird-watcher’s dream! Tucked along the hillside of Volcano Tenorio, the B&B is unique, rustic, and full of authentic Costa Rican charm. There are only two casitas, so your stay will be personal to say the least. They are clean and nestled among the rainforest trees where the howler monkeys and sloths reside (yes..... More

Casitas Tenorio was a perfect spot for our family as we could combine all our wishes in one spot with minimal travel.The rural setting and the proximity to the forest meant that there was an abudance of wildlife which was one of the main reasons we came to Costa Rica.The bird watching at the Casita and the surrounding area was...

We loved the stay. The room is spacious and clean. Every window you see some hummingbirds darting from flower to flower. And we loved the farm experience! We milked the cow the first time and spotted sloth on the property. It also has easy access to the hiking trails in the lodge uphill where we had a night time hike.... More

Anna Maria is the perfect hostess! If I ever have the opportunity to return, I will definitely stay at Casitas Tenorio again. We had four adults so we stayed in the large house. Even though it's only one room (plus a bathroom), we had plenty of space for four adults. We spent most of the time on the front porch... More

Its the perfect place to stay to explore the Rio Celeste national park however car hire is necessary. Anna Maria was a great host and took us to milk the cows and feed the pigs. Breakfast is... More
