The hotel doesn't publish a distance from town, but its website gives its map coordinates, which put it roughly 4–5 km west of the centre of La Fortuna on the road toward the volcano. Treat that as our estimate rather than an official figure. TripAdvisor places El Silencio del Campo in its four-star class; our calculator lists it as “Hotel Silencio del Campo”.

Its position, close to town but already on Route 142, gives the shortest possible final leg from either airport. Like every hotel in this stretch, it is in the La Fortuna fare zone, so the price is the same as for the centre.
