Casa de Marta

This house is located next door to Fressy's house and is the house of Dona Marta and her husband Gerardo. Their son lives in the house and his name is Gustavo. Gustavo is the town English teacher and you can often find him giving classes to the little ones of the families getting ready for the next group.

This is a perfect house for those that want to enjoy a Costa Rica Spanish School homestay and also be surrounded by nature. Marta and her husband love plants. Their whole property is practically a nursery and if you like orchids then you will love visiting this house. They have designed into a mini walk through some of the most beautiful local species. The orchid you see in the picture is called the Turrialba Orchid named after the nearby town of Turrialba. Marta takes a lot of pride in that orchid.

Gustavo is 20 years old and has worked at call centers in San Jose because he speaks fluent English. He is great to have around and his English always comes in handy but because he works in San Jose he is not always there and when he is he promises to talk in just Spanish to those participating in the Costa Rica Spanish School in Sitio de Mata.
