Chayote Lodge is a new lodging concept where the unique combination of
culture and nature meet to share with its guests' one of the most valuable
treasures of Costa Rica: our authentic lifestyle and culture.
Chayote
Lodge lays in the outskirts of the mountainous central valley, located only
50 minutes away from San Jose Airport in Llano Bonito de Naranjo, and 1500
meters above sea level in the cloud forest. It boasts 6 spacious bungalows -
first six accommodations will open in January 2015. They feature a private
terrace with a breathtaking view of Poas, Barva, and Irazu Volcanos, as well
as the Central Valley and the Nicoya Gulf in the Pacific Ocean seen on clear
days.
Inspired by the rich coffee culture of the region, each nook of the
property resembles a piece of the coffee picker's story and their lifestyle.
Moreover, Chayote Lodge's architecture and design integrates the most
noteworthy elements of the coffee culture. For instance, the bungalows will
resemble the traditional Coffee Receiving Stations known locally as
"Recibidores".
Surrounded by coffee fields, green pastures, and
a rich agricultural environment, the area depicts the best of a simple yet
enriching Costa Rican tradition.
Its strategic location right in the
middle of Costa Rica is a perfect gateway to discover different national
parks, waterfalls, coffee fields, rural villages, local artisans, as well as
enjoy the local lifestyle by visiting homes, gardens and city parks within
the vicinity.
The main building of the lodge offers an intimate fireplace,
a fusion cuisine restaurant by mixing local flavors with international
dishes, a terrace cafe and a local-like bar where guests have the opportunity
to interact with natives and learn about their traditions.
Each day, the
experience of Chayote Lodge starts as the sun rises in the East, evolves
during the day with tasteful views and aromatic spirits and finally settles
down with a beautiful sunset in the Pacific before it all starts again the
next morning.
