Happened upon this wonderful gem while touring Costa Rica. We spent a wonderful afternoon. Wonderful hostess, staff welcomed us with a cool drink. Walked along the river, saw monkeys, a sloth and a crocodile. We were only sorry that we were staying elsewhere and couldn't spend the night!

You are in the dry jungle. Crocodile in the pond, monkeys on trees, sloth, very comfortable. Food is so-so, about what I would cook myself, so can't complain, forget about drinks, may be just wine and bear. Wi-Fi and phone reception are not easy. Few trails around, just to exercise. Horseback riding tour was impressive. Owners are great people.

What a nice place! Very welcoming and helpful owners, nice cabins, and plenty of nature experiences. Howler monkies to wake you up in the morning, sloths in the trees, and a crocodile in the river, plus birds and butterflies. Good home cooked food at a communal table. Nice walks available in the surroundingm mixture of forest and agriculteral land. Well... More

I came here with my girlfriend for one night only, and that was our only issue with the visit - it was too short! Agi and her family run an amazing farm with hiking trails, tons of wildlife, and horses available for rides. We hiked most of the trails and saw a sloth, tons of monkeys, beautiful birds, and more.... More

If you're looking for place to relax for a few days, you must stay here! We were here for four nights and could have stayed longer! We were in a cabana for $50 per night - clean, tidy, spacious. Tables and chairs outside, a hammock to swing in, nice view of the river. The property is gorgeous - lots of... More

I stayed at Finca Cana Castilla for 6 nights, and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. The trails on the property are excellent (borrow some rubber boots if you visit in the wet season), varied and interesting. Monkeys, crocodiles, agoutis, anteaters...The food was very good, and the shared tables mean you can enjoy meeting other guests (although you may miss some... More

A fantastic place, I did not stay in the offered cabinas but I have no doubt they are top notch. Guido and Agi - the, originally Swiss owners - let you camp on site as well, that's what I did. Therefore a perfect spot for the Panamaericana road tourers in cars, on bikes or motorcycles. There is a super clean... More

We just spent 2 nights at Canas Castilla and found the experience to be wonderful. If you are looking for good value this is it. For $50/night (low season) we had a room with a strong ceiling fan, bathroom, hot water, and a fridge. Upon arrival Agi was very welcoming and gave us alot of information about the property. She...

What a wonderful discovery to find Finca Canas Castilla where we stayed overnight on two different occasions while traveling to and from Nicaragua from Atenas, Costa Rica. The property is so beautifull, with the river flowing by, monkeys overhead, a crocodile in the river, flowers everywhere, horses in the pasture, orange trees in a nearby grove, and unbeatable hospitality.

A gorgeous off-the-beaten-path destination with friendly and generous owners! Our family of five stayed here for four nights as an alternative to the overdeveloped pacific coast beach areas. Pristine hiking right on the property was fantastic and we only covered a quarter of the distance available. The hard work that Guido and Agi have put into creating sich a gorgeous,... More
