Casa Santamaria Hotel Campestre

It is a nice little hotel with a very homey ambience

I liked everything

What is not to like as you enter through the iron gates into the cobblestone court yard, you instantly feel relaxed. The bedrooms are spacious and comfy and the views are breathtaking, if you like avocado trees and rolling hillsides covered in coffee. Cecelia the manager is super friendly and although she speaks little English and I speak no Spanish we could easily communicate with a some google translate help and my basic Spanish words. Breakfast daily from 8am is the best way to start your day and the chef happily knocks up delicious fresh coffee, the most amazing tasting bananas, mango, papaya followed by freshly made arepa, local sausage and cheese. The place is a little out from the town centre, I had a car so was a quick easy drive (probably a 20 minute walk or 5 minute tuk tuk taxi) but the peaceful sanctuary ticked all the boxes for a relaxing stay with a touch of luxury.

Nothing.

Great breakfast and beautiful setting. Staff all very helpful too. Spanish knowledge really helpful here and in the town in general. Room was very nice and spacious. Great view from the shower too!

Part of its charm is the location but this is about a 20 minute walk into town or 5/10 minute taxi back. Usually there are plenty of taxis in the main square and they have a fixed fare to the hotel 8,000 pesos or 10,000 at night. Worth getting a taxi number as one evening we had to wait quite a while to find one to take us back
