 The other property that we consider as a mountain hotel is Hotel Casa Turire, which is located among Turrialba´s Mountains, the landscapes in this area are beautiful, through the way you will see the true Costa Rican life. This trip to Casa Turire is very different of what you see in the rest of Costa Rica. Hotel Casa Turire recalls the gracious charm of a colonial plantation home. In the heart of the verdant Turrialba agricultural region, this beautiful estate is enfolded by the wild Angostura Lake with the imposing presence of the Turrialba Mountains forming a dramatic backdrop. Guests are drawn into an ambience of ultimate hospitality as they arrive - the relaxed refinement of a Caribbean hacienda. Casa Turire's landscaped gardens abound with tropical plants, flowers and trees, creating an edenesque setting. You'll fall asleep to nature's lullaby in your elegant room, and awaken to the song of exotic birds that enjoy the La Angostura Lake in the pure breath of morning in the backyard of the Hotel. A swim in the spring-fed pool refreshes you before a gourmet meal in the family-size restaurant, Mediterranean-style dining room; we serve fresh/organic fruits and vegetables from the plantation, along with beef and chicken entrees cooked in the traditional manner. Breakfast and lunch are a la carte, while the dinner menu offers varied selections. At your disposal are the games room, library, pool table and tennis courts on the premises and an unusual carriage to take a trip in the surrounding area.
