Built around 1910, La Casa Verde – the Green House – was once the family home of Don Carlos Saborio Yglesias, an influential figure in Costa Rican political history. Yglesias was a governor of Alajuela.He also owned a large cattle ranch near Limón and made a great deal of money providing beef to the Panama Canal Commission.
His mansion was restored so authentically it won its current North American owner a National Restoration Award in 1994 and has been declared a National Historic Site. Caribbean style with a Victorian twist, it is built of tongue-and-groove wood, painted wintergreen and has a wrap-around porch.
Inside, it is richly decorated in period and has wonderful public areas, including the central formal atrium with stained blue glass, a black grand piano, wraparound veranda and sun porch. Unique bedrooms are full of antiques, original art and oriental rugs.We loved the little Victorian carriage house in back.
It was remodeled in mid-2000 and serves well as a neat honeymoon suite or just a stylish place to stay. The green casa commands a busy corner in the Barrio Amón, San José.
