Summary of traveller reviews

La Casa de Cecilia in Mindo offers a peaceful retreat by the river, perfect for travellers seeking nature and relaxation. Guests praise the friendly staff, beautiful surroundings with hummingbirds, and comfortable, clean rooms. Its convenient location is close to town and activities, though some mention a lack of social atmosphere and a small kitchen.

Casa de Cecilia is well located and a nice peaceful place to stay. You can sit by the river, take a dip and watch the hummingbirds. However, I think a few tweaks could make the property a bit better. There wasn’t much going on when we were there, and the communal areas could benefit from some more comfortable seating/ hammocks or cushions. We also didn’t have any hot water for our stay which was a little surprising and it didn’t get fixed either.

Great location, super accessible to walk into town. Staff were lovely, upgraded us to a private room. Only downside is you have to pay for the drinking water.
