This B & B is a fabulous retreat. We were served great breakfasts with awesome views. Steve and Rita, their pups, and their staff are so accommodating. No request is denied. I was able to relax, unwind and really enjoy my stay at this B & B. Do yourself a favor and schedule a retreat at the Casa Bella Rita now.

We had an amazing time at this B&B. The view is unreal - the pool area literally hangs over the side of a deep canyon, where you can view wildlife and amazing sunsets. The breakfast was wonderful each day (Rita and Steve were both chefs in previous lives), with lots of fresh fruit and great coffee.

We went to Costa Rica with friends who had never traveled outside the US before, and they were nervous about leaving the country. Rita and Steve made us all feel incredibly welcome and comfortable. We'll definitely be back!

Review from solo female, San Francisco CA: I was lucky enough to stay at Casa Bella Rita for one night. I landed in San Jose in the afternoon and my connecting flight on the smaller regional airline didn't depart until the next morning. So, I needed a place that was convenient to the airport but didn't want to stay at the chain hotel nearby or downtown. I contacted CBR and Rita responded quickly with availability, etc. From start to finish, the experience was the best way I could have started my Costa Rican adventure. Steve was waiting for me at the airport, as promised, and off we went. The house is great - very spacious and open and my room was cozy and very comfortable. But, the best thing about this property are Rita and Steve. I was travelling solo and they made every effort (and then some) to make sure I was comfortable and well fed. Rita makes amazing chocolate chip cookies (this from a non-chocolate person) and Steve makes a scrumptious breakfast scramble. Honestly, it was hard to leave - I came to enjoy Rita and Steve as friends and would happily return. The only thing I would do differently would be to extend my stay and enjoy thier hospitality and friendship that much longer. Thank you Rita and Steve - I do hope our paths cross again in the future. Keep up the great work and best of luck to you both!

I've just returned from Costa Rica and had the great pleasure of staying at the Casa Bella Rita B&B for six nights. I would highly recommend this B&B to anyone coming to the San Jose area.
I feel quite lucky to have learned about it from family living in the area, and also five family members who stayed at Casa Bella Rita in May.

To say this B&B is beautiful is an understatement! The setting is exotic, with a lovely pool, palm trees, flowers everywhere, and a breathtaking view overlooking a canyon - an artist's inspiration!
The house is elegant, yet homey and comfortable. I loved my room with its view of the front garden. It had every amenity including fresh flowers.

Steve and Rita were a wonderful host and hostess who have created something quite special. They are very warm and congenial and I felt right at home. They go out of their way to help with touring plans, and as an extra bonus provide transportation to/from the airport.

I had a wonderful time in Costa Rica. I am already thinking of returning and staying at the Casa Bella Rita!!
