A Guided Wilderness Experience

Elian's Family House:

The perfect Traditional Tarrazu Family farm.

This old coffee farm is situated above in the hills above San Marcos, close
enough to walk to but far enough away as to offer a sense of privacy. The
complex consists of a main house and secluded guest quarters, as well as
stunning gardens and acres of coffee fields.
The Robles family who live and work at the farm have do so for many generations and their hard work is evident in the well maintained facilities and beautifully kept fields. “Mama” is an excellent cook who’s only too happy to share her insights about local culture and customs, while Calin and Elian can take the more adventurous into the fields and put them to work in
the everyday running of a Costa Rican coffee farm. Above all, it’s the families’ traditional sense of openness and hospitality that makes them renowned hosts.
Although we are in the mountains there is always a lot to do at Elians. Guests wanting to learn Spanish will find that the whole family can talk for hours and Elian takes great delight in leading trips to hidden hotsprings, roaring waterfalls and secluded valleys.
Though the house is ideal for those wanting a getaway or immersive cultural experience we can also accommodate a group or family holiday. It can sleep 6-7 people in 2 double and 2 single rooms as well as a single futon, if required. It has a fully equipped self catering kitchen but breakfast and
catering can also be arranged as an optional extra.
