The house is gorgeous, very clean and has a beautiful garden. Pilar was a great host and very accommodating. The house is hidden in behind a main road, giving the feel of being in the country in the middle of the city. We would definitely go back.
CanadaWe loved the setting and historic home. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with unique decor. The breakfast was fantastic and our hosts and the staff were wonderful. What more could you ask for?!
United States of AmericaA peaceful garden oasis surrounds this stunning traditional Costa Rican house. Such a relaxing home to return to at the end of the day.
United States of AmericaA quiet location in the Escazu neighborhood. Nearby to many local restaurants...many walking distance. House is cozy and comfortable. Lovely porch to enjoy. Breakfast was amazing. Hosts are incredibly helpful and happy to help. Offered access to a local driver. The grounds of the house are full of plants and birds and butterflies and enjoyable. There is an in room water boiler for coffee or tea. Shower is large.
United States of AmericaThe hosts were by far the best part of the experience. Pilar and Xavier are so gracious and welcoming. The house itself is beautiful and rustic, and it's hard to believe this haven of comfort exists in the middle of a busy city! We thought the taxi driver must have gotten the wrong address because the surrounding area is nothing like the Casa. No worries though, because once you are on the property you feel safe and secure in an oasis of beauty and charm.
United States of AmericaA beautiful dreamlike cottage set in wonderful gardens. The owners, Javier and Pilar are charming and have created a most elegant environment in which one feels completely at home.
United States of AmericaAfter a 12 hour flight, this is the place to be. A gorgeous little B&B tucked away in the city only 15 mins away from the airport. My room was beautiful with a little balcony overlooking the garden. The rooms are what I imagine to be traditionally Costa Rican with lots of wood but I loved it. I instantly felt like I was on holiday when I arrived and was very relaxed. The breakfast here was delicious, with fruit salad, yogurt, granola, fresh juice, fresh Costa Rican coffee, bread, jam and eggs. I sat out in the garden to enjoy it and had the area to myself so took my time and read while I ate. The owners were very helpful in providing advice for the rest of my trip and local restaurants. I actually stayed here twice, one night when I arrived and one night before I left... it was that good!
United KingdomCasa de las Tias was a unique experience which we will never forget. Xavier and Pilar are both charming hosts, with so much information to help plan your personal itinerary in Costa Rica. The house is absolutely beautiful, with lots of artwork to please the eye. They have also thought of all the small details to make your stay a most pleasant one: amenities in the bathroom, coffees, teas and snacks and comfortable bedding. Breakfast is prepared fresh for each guest every morning which you can enjoy in the garden.
SwitzerlandThis place is beautiful! The yard is gorgeous and the room is very cozy. The whole place looks like it’s out of a movie. I loved every bit of my stay here, would definitely recommend to everyone!
FinlandWould highly recommend this property; the house and garden are beautiful and tranquil. The room was very comfortable and had a lovely balcony overlooking the garden. The hosts could not be more helpful, arranging transport downtown and a car hire. The breakfast tasted fantastic and very well presented. Pilar and Xavier are very interesting people, it was a pleasure to meet them.

Hosted by Xavier and Pilar
Xavier and Pilar
Casa de las Tias is a charming two-storey cedarwood house, built by hand as the home of a former Minister of Labor. It is set off from the traffic and the bustling street noise, surrounded by gardens, yet very close to transport, restaurants, theaters and city happenings, shops, churches, doctors, hospitals, dentists...Our cozy rooms are each uniquely decorated with art and textiles from all over Latin America, with ceiling fans, en suite bathrooms, amenities and coffee-tea service, screened windows, extra firm mattresses, fine cotton towels and bedding, lots of books, a great terrace. In the morning, the smell of fresh-ground coffee beckons guests. We offer a full, varied and tasty breakfast in our garden patio when possible, under a huge umbrella, looking out to a great variety of fruit trees (mango, avocado, soursop, banana, orange, lemon, nispero), flowers and birds (clay-colored robins, mot-mots, blue-gray tanagers, rufus-tailed hummingbirds) and millions of butterflies...At 1000m (3,280 ft) above sea level, Escazú is warm during the day and pleasantly cool in the evening, making it easy to enjoy a restful sleep.
Xavier used to work in housing and international development, loves to walk everywhere, swims every other day, was a former runner, loves to read -- mysteries, politics, poetry -- and listen to music. Pilar is a translator and former speechwriter, loves to act in community theatre, writes poetry, loves dance and singing, was a literature student and her favorite meal is breakfast! We both enjoy bird watching and belong to the Costa Rican Birding Club. Whenever possible, we entertain friends and enjoy telling our guests about the many possibilities of travel in Costa Rica. One of the greatest joys of having Casa de las Tias is meeting such wonderful and interesting guests, many of whom have become our friends. Our breakfast conversations have ranged from genetic research in Costa Rica to the best way to cook beans. We really like people, especially those who share our curiosity about this and other countries and cultures.
We are in the foothills of Escazú, a little town once known for its witches and ghostly legends, nestled in the southern mountains that surround the Central Valley and San José. Our neighborhood, San Rafael de Escazú, is a walkable residential and shopping area with a bustling commercial street replete with clothing, furniture and souvenir shops as well as restaurants offering foods from Costa Rica to India, Italy, Greece or Argentina. The area is a curious combination of sophisticated art and architecture and traditional rural life. Nearby and in the town of Escazú are well-preserved adobe houses that date back a few hundred years (Escazú was first settled in the 1600´s). Some are now restaurants, coffee houses and artful design stores, while others are still family homes. Once a year, on the Day of the Boyero, ox-drawn carts come from San Antonio de Escazú, the mostly agricultural area of the canton, to San Rafael for the traditional blessing of the animals, a March feast that has been declared Heritage of Humanity by the UN. We love to walk these colorful streets with impressive mountain views to go enjoy a ceviche at Madfish or rice and beans at la Casona de Laly.
