Heavenly Highlands
Unique Mountain
Family Farmstay!
Welcome to Heavenly Highlands, a special retreat in the Costa Rican mountains where life slows down, and family moments take center stage—especially for the little ones. Just a short drive from San José, yet far enough to feel the peace of the countryside, our farmhouse is designed for kids to run free, explore, and connect with nature. They can feed the animals at the mini farm, pick fresh fruit straight from the trees, and discover the magic of outdoor adventures. Meanwhile, parents can unwind, sip a fresh cup of coffee, and enjoy quality time together. Here, childhood is about climbing trees, playing in the dirt, and ending the day with tired feet and happy hearts.
Where Little Ones Rules!
At Heavenly Highlands, kids are super important to us. We see them as the captains of our farm ship, leading us to a future full of fun and learning. We want to give them a great place to grow, play, and explore. Nature gives kids real freedom, letting them have adventures and discover new things. By being close to nature, they learn to care for the environment and the land. This not only makes their childhood special but also helps them grow into people who will protect our planet for the future.
Life on the Farm
On our farm, everyone loves gathering fresh eggs in the morning. It’s a special experience where you can connect with nature up close. As the sun comes up, families and friends gather to collect these golden treasures. The morning milking sessions are often the children’s favorite — a unique chance to learn, help, and laugh alongside our goats. It’s a simple but meaningful way to feel closer to the natural world and our friendly farm animals, including Kristoff the donkey, Caramelo our tiny horse, Ana and Elsa the goats, and many others. These beloved animals are a part of the experience that children enjoy immensely, making each visit to the farm a memorable adventure.
Harvesting fruits and vegetables
There’s something really special about walking through the farm in the morning, picking fruit from the trees or grabbing a few things from the garden for lunch. With over 75 fruit trees and a seasonal veggie patch, there’s always something growing. Everything is organic, and our chef enjoys cooking with whatever the land is offering. It’s a simple rhythm we love. And when December comes around, coffee picking becomes part of the days — one of those quiet blessings, knowing that every cup has a bit of the hands that passed through here.
Melipona Bees
Our farm values the vital role of bees, including our protected stingless bees in the Granadilla fruit tunnel path. These remarkable pollinators are essential not just for the abundant growth of our granadilla fruits, but also for the health of our entire ecosystem. Unlike traditional honeybees, stingless bees are gentle and efficient pollinators, making them ideal for our farm's diverse environment. Our stingless bee houses are strategically placed to optimize pollination, enhancing fruit production and quality. Additionally, these bees contribute to the overall biodiversity, supporting various plant species and other wildlife. By safeguarding their habitat, we ensure a thriving environment, recognizing their crucial role in maintaining the balance of our farm and the health of our planet. Through our commitment to bee conservation, we promote sustainable farming practices that benefit not only our produce but also the broader ecological community.
Homing Champions
Our messenger pigeons are amazing birds with a cool history. They can fly really fast, up to 90 miles per hour, and find their way home from super far away. These pigeons used to help out in wars, carrying important messages even in bad weather. Today, they still impress us — especially in the hands of Ronny, the heart of our farm and national champion of messenger pigeons for several years in a row. Every morning, you’ll see them training above the property, flying in perfect circles. It’s something truly unique and beautiful to witness. We feel so lucky to have them here — it’s not something you see every day, and even less in a place like this.

A heartfelt thank you to Bruno and Erica for sharing this heavenly place with us. Our busy minds and souls found rest and recharge here. Special thanks to Ronny, the groundskeeper, who introduced us to the grounds, gardens, and animals—what a pleasure to meet him. The house, a visual delight both inside and out, left a lasting impression, especially the unforgettable bathroom floor tile. This was a very special stay for our family of four, filled with memories we'll cherish forever. Gratitude to the chefs for the delicious, allergy-friendly meal and the relaxing massage in these heavenly surroundings. We will be back, "knocking on heaven's door." Much appreciation, Tina, Rob, Fynn, and Max.

Delicious woodfire pizza and nice service. If you're staying here, make sure to enjoy this experience! Don't think twice. Staying at this architectural gem is worth every penny. 10/10.

Sincerely enjoyed every minute at Bruno’s home. We live a busy life in a urban city and it was a nice change to get the family grandparents and all out for a farm stay were there are walkable trails, friendly farm animals and a masterfully crafted home. We had wonderfully crafted meals by Eduardo and were provided with excellent suggestions for our upcoming trip in La Fortuna. We felt at home with the support of Bruno’s excellent staff and couldn’t have asked for anything more on our stay. Bruno also offered excellent suggestions for places to visit. If possible, we’d like to visit all of Bruno’s active listings. I was exceptionally impressed with professionalism and responsiveness.
