We have visited many beautiful places, but Finca Aquarius is our favorite of all. The views are amazing any time of the day, and just the overall experience was great. We loved the wonderful conversations at the table and the cooking experience the most. It was great to use all the fresh produce from the finca. We definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys luxury, adventure, and nature!

We had a great time at Finca Aquarius. The apartments were comfortable and had beautiful valley views, making it a joy to wake up to such a peaceful landscape. The meals were delicious, made with fresh ingredients, matching the calm surroundings. The activities we did were inspiring. The experience balanced relaxation, nature and learning, making it a memorable stay.

Finca Aquarius provided an unforgettable experience. The finca is incredible. Meeting our host was the highlight; he took the time to show us around, answer all of our questions about the area, and even led us in a few nature walks, where he shared stories and local knowledge that made our experience feel uniquely enriching. His calm presence inspired us with his dedication to sustainable living. The meals, made from fresh local ingredients, reflected careful attention to detail. The finca offered the perfect balance of relaxation, adventure, and learning—we look forward to returning!

We couldn't recommend this place enough, it was a special stay during our time in Costa Rica. What Jan has created is a slice of paradise. The location is stunning, the apartments are beautifully designed, with everything you need and to top it all off, Jan's hospitality is second to none! He made us feel welcomed as soon as we arrived.

I would call Finca Aquarius magical if doing so didn't discount the amount of effort, care, thought, and love that Jan and his family have so clearly put into this property. It is breathtakingly beautiful (I literally gasped when we walked inside and saw the view from the large porch) and the interior of the unit is spacious, comfortable, and modern. The location is also close enough to the main Monteverde/Santa Elena area to get to town for activities, but remote enough that you feel peacefully removed from any touristy hustle and bustle. The roads are not paved (typical of the area I think) but it is very doable if you take your time (and have a higher clearance vehicle, probably). Jan himself is an incredible host AND an incredible cook. Booking this stay was the best choice I made on our trip to Costa Rica and I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and ready to come back asap—I highly recommend staying here!!

We stayed here for 1 night and had a great time. The property is in an amazing spot, and the owners have put in a ton of work to make it an incredible place to stay on the mountainside with lots of activities nearby. Jan is very friendly and had so many interesting stories to share. We had supper and breakfast with him; he even taught us how to make pinto! This was definitely one of the highlights during our 3 weeks in Costa Rica. We highly recommend staying here when in the area and wish we had more time than one 1 there.

I would certainly recommend staying here for a while and see how things work at this place. They have their own water supply which gives them the electricity and their own vegetables and fruit supply. This couple planted about 1.500 trees! By working together with the local people there is so much more like horseriding, yoga or meditation. Jan is an excellent host who runs this place together with Connie.
