Nestled in the Turrialba Valley 65 kilometers east of San Jose, the Hotel Casa Turire thrives in Costa Rica's unique ecosystem. Just one block from Angostura Lake and irrigated by the Reventazón River, the small property is 30 kilometers from Turrialba Volcano. The area also marks the gateway to the country's rainforest. Juan Santamaria International in San Jose is the nearest airport.

Eco tourists can delight in the Hotel Casa Turire's location while enjoying the hotel's modern amenities. Palm trees planted on lush, manicured lawns envelop the property. Inside, guests are greeted by a sunny lobby and other cheerful public spaces. Yellow, green and apricot tones coat the walls, while other areas, such as the bar and game room, feature wood paneling. Guests can relax on the deep cushioned sofas in the atrium courtyard, which is surrounded by indigenous Costa Rican flora, or swim in the outdoor spring fed pool. Gourmet meals are served in the Mediterranean themed dining room. Fresh organic fruits and vegetables, grown on the property, are served alongside traditional heartier dishes.

Inside the Hotel Casa Turire's 12 deluxe guestrooms and suites, modernity meets serenity. Satellite television, direct dial telephones and coffeemakers are found in the bright and airy guestrooms, which also include hardwood floors, large windows and ceiling fans.

On the cusp of the Costa Rican rainforest and within a volcanic valley, the Hotel Casa Turire offers guests adventure and leisure in a scenic setting.
