The Space:
Step inside a three-bedroom cottage built entirely from volcanic stone, one of several such houses on the Casa Paz finca in rural La Cruz. The walls hold the day's heat outside and keep the rooms naturally cool, a construction technique the finca has used for generations. The first bedroom holds two double beds, while the second and third each have two single beds — every room with its own en-suite bathroom, for a total of three baths and space for eight guests. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking real meals, with a dining table set for the group, and the doors open onto a private garden and backyard where the cool of the stone meets the warmth of the tropical air outside. Portable fans and mosquito nets are provided throughout in place of air conditioning, in keeping with the rhythm of life on the finca.
Guest Access:
You'll have full access to the entire cottage, as well as the property's shared amenities and common areas. On arrival, the finca's caretaker meets you in person at the stone entrance gate and hands over the keys directly, along with any recommendations for your stay.
The Neighborhood:
Casa Paz sits on a private finca in Carrizal, a quiet rural corner of La Cruz in Guanacaste, where mornings start with birdsong rather than traffic. A river runs nearby, good for a swim or a cast of the line, and the surrounding countryside invites long walks and birdwatching. Santa Rosa National Park is within easy reach for a day of hiking through tropical dry forest, and the coast isn't far either — Playa Rajada and Playa Rajadita, two of Guanacaste's most photogenic beaches, are about 15 to 20 minutes away by car. Guests looking for a longer outing can cross into Nicaragua, about 20 minutes past the border, for a beach day there.
Getting Around:
A car is the easiest way to get around this part of Guanacaste, since the finca sits along a countryside road outside of town. The stone entrance gate is about a 5-minute drive — roughly 3 km — from the town of La Cruz, where you'll find shops, sodas, and the nearest fuel station. From there, Playa Rajada and Playa Rajadita are 15 to 20 minutes further by car, and the Nicaraguan border is about 20 minutes away for those planning a beach day across the line. We recommend arranging a rental car or private transport, since public transport in this rural area is limited.
