Hotel Casa Turire

Hotel Casa Turire, in the farm country outside Turrialba

Casa Turire is a small, elegant country hotel a few minutes outside the town of Turrialba, close to the Turrialba volcano, in one of the richest farming areas of central Costa Rica. It suits couples and families who want a quiet, comfortable base for rafting, volcanoes and the gardens and farms of the region.

Why we choose it

• Small and intimate. With a few rooms and suites around the gardens, it feels like staying at a country house.
• The farm and the gardens. Trails, horseback riding and a working farm are on the property, and the gardens are full of toucans and parakeets.
• Close to great rafting. The Pacuare and Reventazón rivers are nearby, so you can raft by day and come back to a spa and a good dinner.

Rooms and views

The Standard Deluxe rooms come with a queen or a king bed, and each one has a private balcony over the grounds. The Suites add more space, and the Master Suite is the one for a special occasion. The style is classic and calm, with the garden in view wherever you look.

On the property

The pool sits among the gardens, with a jacuzzi alongside. There is a spa for massages after a day on the river, a tennis court, and the restaurant for dinner on site. Birdwatching starts right in the gardens, where bamboo, orchids and anthuriums grow among the trees. Weddings and special events have long been held here, because the setting does most of the work.

Location and getting there

The hotel is a few minutes from Turrialba town and close to the Turrialba volcano. From here we can arrange whitewater rafting on the Pacuare and Reventazón, visits to the botanical garden at CATIE, a sugar mill and a coffee mill, horseback rides, and day trips to Irazú Volcano. Turrialba also fits neatly between San José and the Caribbean on a longer trip. It is one of our team's favourites near the Turrialba Volcano.
