Casa Cecilia is located in Playa Santa Teresa, at the south end of the Nicoya peninsula, which is in the center of Costa Rica on the Pacific coast.  Casa Cecilia is 3.5 km north of Franks Place, which is at the crossroad of the main road into Santa Teresa/Mal Pias and the beach road.  You can travel to Casa Cecilia by car, by air, or by public bus. 

Travel by car:  All of the major car rental agencies do business in Costa Rica and have facilities at the major airports (Liberia and San Jose, Juan Santamaria Airport).  From San Jose travel via Highway 1 northwest to Puntarenas, take the ferry to Paquera, and follow the signs through Cobano to Playa Santa Teresa.  The ferry runs ever two hours from 4:30 am to 10:30 pm, but be aware that the schedule can change, especially in the off season (May to November).  The total travel time is 5 to 6 hours.  From Liberia, travel south on Highway 21 through Santa Cruz to Paquera and follow the previous directions.  During the dry season you can take the short cut from Jicaral directly to Santa Teresa but you need local knowledge, good directions, or a good map.

Travel by bus:  From Juan Santamaria airport take the bus to Puntarenas, ferry to Paquera, bus to Cobano, and a final bus to Santa Teresa.  There are private transportation companies that offer ground transportation to Casa Cecilia.  We recommend Tropical Tours 640-0353 at a cost of $35 per person.
