Finca Rosa Blanca Coffee Plantation & Inn

Come for the incredible rooms – skip the pretentious restaurant! The Finca Rosa Suite blew us away (book it directly!). You sleep at the very top of the iconic white tower, and the bathroom/bathtub feels like stepping into a giant mural – absolutely stunning. The restaurant, however, was a total let down. Lunch on day one was a dried out overpriced burger and for both dinners they were out of several menu options. The “breakfast boxes” (for early tours) were laughable, and despite reserving one of the four coveted open-air tables with city views, they gave it away when we returned from a day trip that they recommended. We ended up ordering Italian via Uber Eats and eating on our private lower patio – way better. Verdict: Stay for the jaw-dropping suite, skip the restaurant, and note that the property is quite far from the airport (especially in rush hour).

Finca Rosa Blanca Coffee Farm and Inn truly embodies the beautiful spirit and rich culture of Costa Rica. Nestled in the midst of an organic coffee farm high in the hills of the Central Valley, Finca Rosa Blanca exudes local charm and artistry in every detail, from the graceful, curved architecture to the finely crafted coffee served every morning and afternoon. My family stayed here 25 years ago, and we returned to find it every bit as memorable and lovely. As women traveling alone, we felt extremely safe and well cared for from the moment we arrived. We had two rooms that joined together to make a comfortable family villa and home away from home to explore the countryside. The villa was exceptionally clean and well tended, with so many pretty details in every room and full of thoughtful touches including an electric kettle, mini fridge, french press, and delicious chocolates each night. The beds are comfortable, and the bathrooms have lovely decor and luxurious jetted tubs for a relaxing soak. The pool, with a wonderful waterfall and surrounded by lush foliage, was a crystal clean delight. The grounds are incredibly beautiful, with trees, flowers, birds, and wildlife, and are fun to explore, including visiting the happy hens which provide fresh eggs for the scrumptious breakfasts each morning. Be sure to enjoy the delicious complimentary afternoon coffee (grown on the farm) and fresh cookies. A relaxing treat! The gracious staff were all very friendly, attentive, and helpful, and even worked overtime to ship my phone back to me that I left in the room when we departed. Thank you very much, Ed! We appreciated your kindness and hospitality throughout our stay so much! The housekeeping staff was so friendly and attentive, and our server Andrea made every breakfast delightful. The Inn is convenient to many attractions. We particularly enjoyed La Paz Waterfall Gardens and exploring the towns of Grecia and Sarchi. It is not hard to see why Finca Rosa Blanca is one of the National Geographic “Unique Lodges of the World”. Unlike being hurried off to a bustling, impersonal resort, this is authentic Costa Rica, where the beautiful culture, friendly staff, and gorgeous property come together to showcase the very essence of “Pura Vida!” I cannot recommend it enough!

Finca Rosa Blanca is such a lovely place. The gardens are beautiful, the coffee is amazing, and the food is really good. The staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome. The art displayed all around makes it unique and interesting. It’s in a gorgeous location and perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature!
