Some places are lovely to visit; others make you start planning your return before you’ve even left. CASA Collibri was that kind of place for us. Tucked away in the beautiful village of Juticalpa, it’s a hidden treasure that deserves a wholehearted 10 out of 10.
The gardens were a highlight of our stay. Fruit trees, beautiful orchids, and exotic flowers I’d never seen before made wandering through them a pleasure. Add in the butterflies and hummingbirds, and there was always something that made us stop and take a closer look.
Just as memorable was the husband-and-wife team who hosted us. They were genuinely kind, welcoming, and so helpful. Everything was clean, and we had everything we needed, but their warmth made the experience feel special.
I especially loved picking fresh chilies from their garden to cook with. The hosts also kindly gave me fresh papaya from their trees, avocados, and a wonderful green drink made with fresh cactus, mother-in-law’s tongue, and fresh lime—all straight from the garden. Getting to enjoy what they grow made the experience even more special.
It’s clear they’ve put so much care into CASA Collibri, and they’re still adding to it. I can’t wait to return—not just to see what’s new, but to enjoy it all again. We had a wonderful stay, and I’m so glad we found this place.
