Aroma de Café

Aroma de Café is a one-room cabin for two on a coffee farm outside Monteverde, with an indoor jacuzzi beside the bed and a deck that looks over the coffee plants toward the valley. It suits couples who want privacy and a slow morning, and remote workers who want fast Wi-Fi with a view. The cabin is 15 to 20 minutes by car from Santa Elena.

The cabin is clad in wood inside, with a queen bed under pendant lights, a wall-mounted TV, and a two-person jacuzzi in the same room behind a frosted glass screen. The bathroom has a stone-tiled rain shower, a wood vanity and hot water. A kitchenette along the window has a two-burner cooktop, a toaster oven, a microwave, a coffee maker with the farm's own coffee, a sink and a small dining table for two. Sliding glass doors open the whole front of the cabin to the deck, where a bench faces the plantation, and a rope net stretched over the slope is the spot guests lie on to watch the hills. A fire pit, a BBQ grill and an outdoor dining area are outside, and parking is private.

The four reviews so far are all five stars, and one guest extended a few nights into ten days. They describe the view over the coffee and the hills, how secluded and clean the cabin is, the net, and the Tres Mares team, who met one couple in person, gave recommendations and arranged a taxi when language was a problem. Breakfast at the farm cafe and the self-guided coffee walk are the other two things people mention.

Bring a warm layer: Monteverde is cool at night. The access road is gravel and bumpy, and a standard car handles it; one guest without four-wheel drive confirmed it. Water pressure at the kitchen sink is low. The jacuzzi takes time to heat, and one early guest reported it never got hot. If it matters to your stay, say so when you book and we will check it before you arrive. Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:00, the cabin is for two, and pets are not allowed.

Tres Mares and the farm team coordinate check-in in person. Early check-in from 11:00 is possible when the cabin is clean, and you can leave luggage while the clean finishes; ask on WhatsApp the day before. We also help book night tours in Monteverde, and the farm offers a coffee experience on request.

Monteverde is about three hours by car from San José (SJO) or Liberia (LIR). From Santa Elena the farm is 15 to 20 minutes by car; the last stretch is gravel and bumpy, but in our experience any vehicle can manage it and a guest without four-wheel drive agreed. Arrive in daylight the first time, since the farm entrance is not well signed, and follow the directions we send rather than the map pin, which places the cabin in Abangares. Guests without a car have used taxis from Santa Elena, and we have arranged one for guests who did not speak Spanish. Airbnb shares the exact address after booking; the check-in window is 15:00 to 23:00, so a late arrival works if you tell us the time.
