Hacienda AltaGracia, in the hills of Pérez Zeledón
Hacienda AltaGracia is an Auberge resort on a hilltop ranch at Santa Teresa de Cajón, in Pérez Zeledón, looking over rolling hills and coffee plantations toward the mountains of the south. It is remote on purpose: four to six hours by land from San José, or a short charter flight to its own airstrip. It suits couples and families who want a quiet, polished hacienda with space, horses and a spa, far from the usual route.
Why we choose it
- Its own airstrip. Shared charter flights connect the hacienda with SJO, which turns a long drive into a short hop.
- Casitas with private pools. Some of the one bedroom casitas have a private plunge pool, and some of the two bedroom casitas a private pool, all with terraces over the hills.
- Made for children as well. Guests of all ages are welcome, with a family pool, the Junior Adventurers' Club, children's menus and babysitting through the concierge.
Rooms and views
All the rooms are casitas. The One Bedroom Casitas open onto terraces over the rolling hills and the coffee plantations, and some have a private plunge pool, the one to ask for on a honeymoon. The Two Bedroom Casitas give a family or two couples space under one roof, and some come with their own pool.
Evenings on the terrace are the reason to be here: the sun goes down over the valley, the air cools, and the only sounds are birds and horses.
On the property
The Casa de Agua wellbeing center has a sauna and steam room alongside the spa treatments, and there is a fitness center. The dining is Costa Rican inspired, spread over several venues, with produce from the farm and the region.
The family pool and the Junior Adventurers' Club keep children busy, while the hiking trails lead through secondary forest across the ranch. Horseback riding is part of hacienda life here, on trails over the hills.
From the hacienda we can arrange a hike in Chirripó National Park, the highest mountain in the country, a coffee tour, or a day on the beaches of Dominical and Uvita.
Location and getting there
AltaGracia is about 35 minutes by land from the Pérez Zeledón airport, and four to six hours by land from SJO, so most of our clients fly. Check-in is from 2:00 pm and check-out by 11:00 am. See more about San Isidro de El General.
