January is the high season in Costa Rica, and the travel books that I read suggested booking hotels in advance. Well, for one reason or another, we booked our flight to Costa Rica less than 2 weeks in advance, and I was scrambling to find a base hotel in San Jose. I scoured through the books and TripAdvisor, and I... More

Word would not do the service, accomodations, and feeling experienced from Casa Bella Rita!!! Truly there is no review that could do this B&B justice as it would out do any expectations. Rita and Steve are AMAZING, they go so far off the customer service radar level that it can not be counted. You can ask them for anything!!! They... More

I was recommended by my Costa Rican friend to visit Casa Bella Rita Boutique Bed & Breakfast. The view is fantastic. It is a beautiful wonder land. Not to far away from San Jose. Vicky is very friendly to show us the hotel. Next visit I will definitely to enjoy this peaceful B& B. No wonder it is a #1... More

After reading all the great reviews on this website, this was the obvious choice (even though for a brief moment we'd considered staying at the Marriott---thank goodness we didn't). Steve was at the airport when we arrived; he loaded our bags into his car and off we went. The B&B is a little out of town and overlooks a canyon.... More

Casa Bella Rita is the perfect place to start or end your Costa Rican vacation. We used it as the last night of our trip, to be close to the airport but I wish we had had been able to stay longer. I will admit that I was a bit nervous driving up to the inn. The neigborhood was deceiving... More

We initially just needed a place to stay flying in and out of San Jose on our vacation to Costa Rica. We arrived a bit late at night, 9ish, and Steve picked us up at the airport, a definite plus. Steve and Rita are superb hosts and their two dogs are the best at completing the "home away from home"... More

This was our first trip to Costa Rica, and it will certainly not be our last! Steve and Rita were the ultimate host and hostess...from sharing their beautiful Bed and Breakfast (that felt more like home to us), to Steve's incrediable banana and walnut pancakes for breakfast, to making sure that we had an opportunity to experience the "real" Costa...

Casa Bella Rita was by far the best place we've stayed in Costa Rica. The property is simply beautiful, has an amazing view from the living room, everything is very tastefully decorated. The room we stayed in (Canapy room) was very clean, had 5* bedding and was just so nice that we did not want to leave.. Rita and Steve... More

Our stay at Casa Bella Rita was wonderful. Hosts Rita and Steve made us very welcome and went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our stay. We only stayed the one night - our last night in Costa Rica, but Rita and Steve made sure it was memorable. Rita suggested a restaurant and arranged for a taxi... More
