2BR luxury villa in San José

Luxury Villa Cala, a volcano in your garden. - Houses for Rent in La Fortuna, Provincia de Alajuela, Costa Rica

Beautiful place - near wild life, gated and access to hot springs.  Fantastic for two couples or family of four.

I had a great time everything about this booking was excellent thanks so much for everything please everyone book this stay must experience

This place is absolutely amazing beyond words. We had private massages on the back porch with the wind from the mountains and a great view of the volcano. Santiago was extremely responsive and helped us every step of the way. Scheduled the massages for us. He also gave us a list of amenities. The massive rain shower with 180 degree views of the volcano and beautiful hillsides were breathtaking. I would highly recommend Cala for a stay when visiting La Fortuna.

Everything amazing! Highly recommend ❤️

This was hands down the most incredible Airbnb stay we’ve ever had. The views of Arenal Volcano are absolutely unmatched, and waking up to that breathtaking scenery every morning was unforgettable. We were surrounded by nature and even spotted toucans right from the property, which made the experience feel truly magical. The location is perfect, right in the heart of La Fortuna while still feeling peaceful and immersed in the rainforest. We traveled with our two young kids, and they loved every minute of our stay. The home was comfortable and welcoming, and they couldn’t get enough of the pools and hot springs. The access to Los Lagos Hot Springs and pools truly put this place over the top. It was the perfect way to relax after exploring the area and created memories our family will cherish forever. If you’re looking for incredible views, abundant wildlife, a family-friendly stay, and an unbeatable La Fortuna experience, this is the place to book. We would return in a heartbeat! 🌋🦜🌴

The best place we stayed at. I am a design nerd and they nailed it. Santiago was fantastic as was his brother who helped us fix a flat. We had a “pet” coati hang with us (don’t worry—didn’t feed him!) and saw wild macaws and the biggest beetle (elephant) that j have ever seen (harmless and cool). Kids loved the Los Lagos pools. The view cleared the morning we left so we finally got a gorgeous view. Worth every penny and more! Will def return.

If you’re looking for a private jungle escape in La Fortuna, this is it. Nestled at the base of Arenal Volcano, this villa feels like a hidden oasis. The home is beautiful, with lush tropical plants woven throughout the indoor and outdoor spaces, making you feel completely immersed in nature. Waking up surrounded by clouds, birds, and the sounds of the jungle was unforgettable. From the hot tub, we watched toucans, caracaras, and other incredible wildlife right from the property. We also booked massages at the villa, and between the peaceful setting and incredible service, it was one of the most relaxing experiences of our trip. The location is perfect—private enough to feel like you’re alone in the rainforest, yet just minutes from restaurants, hot springs, and all the adventures La Fortuna has to offer. We absolutely loved our stay and would return in a heartbeat.

The villa was absolutely beautiful! The views were incredible, and it truly felt like staying at a resort. It looked just like the photos, but even better in person. We even saw a couple of animals here that we didn’t on one of our excursions, which was such a cool bonus. Santiago was awesome and made the stay even better. He recommended a private chef for us, helped connect us with a driver for the trip, and even let us use his local TV channels to watch the FIFA World Cup. You even get access to Los Lagos Resort, although it is not walkable unless you don’t mind hiking up/down a mountain.

I want to say this place is so beautiful inside and out like really left me breathless and I loved that I got to get the room decorated for my birthday it was so nice and the view was so mesmerizing I would definitely book again! I love getting massages done at the house too. Santiago’s really communicative and helpful.

Santiagos place was beautiful & looked better than the pictures. He was quick to respond & super helpful whenever I needed anything. I would stay here again.

This place is even better than the photos! On the grounds of los lagos resort which has a lot of thermal fed hot spring pools, stun up bar, pool with slides, etc. Recommend a rental car to get to and from. The location is perfect- close to La fortuna and lots of great restaurants, activities. The place itself is PHENOMENAL. Amazing views of Arenal from nearly every room. Large hot tub (really more of a heated plunge pool). Pictures honestly don’t do it justice. Went with two couples and a toddler and had plenty of room. There are two bedrooms upstairs that are separated and then downstairs is the kitchen and living area- so lots of privacy. We spent hours at the house just enjoying the views. 1000% would come back and book again

Everything is perfect. Easy to find and  reach the place, not far from the centre, super quiet at night. Cozy and tidy inside, modern and stylish decorations, breathtaking volcano view right in front of the house, a Japanese bath is a huge plus. Santiago is very helpful and easy to reach, highly recommend!

This house is a work of art. Every where you turn has an incredible view. Its unreal!! Complete perfection.

Santiago was an incredible host and the Villa was incredibly beautiful and unique. I highly recommend staying here in this awesome getaway!

Hola Conner!! Pura vida thanks so much for letting me know!! It's been a pleasure having you with us!! :D

A spectacular place and very good customer service

un lugar espectacular y  muy buen servicio al cliente

This home will take your breath away! There are few times that you stay somewhere and the awe of it does not wear off — this is one of those times! If this home fits into your plans, do not pass this by. It is absolutely stunning, spacious, Santiago is much more than an Airbnb host - he is a passionate local guide and wonderful person! We woke up every morning to bird watch - we saw toucans, parakeets, amazons, sloths - right out the back patio! Views of the volcano are unmatched! We stayed with our four children and they were in heaven - access to Los Lagos gave us the best of both worlds - privacy and resort amenities! This will be one of the best vacation homes you stay in - no doubt!

All very good, stunning location and house, recommended

Our stay at this beautiful Airbnb in Arenal was nothing short of incredible. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how gorgeous the house is. The design, the atmosphere, and especially the breathtaking views of the volcano made it truly unforgettable. Santiago was an exceptional host; friendly, responsive, and always willing to help with anything we needed. He made the entire experience smooth and welcoming from start to finish. We loved every single minute of our stay. Waking up to those stunning views and relaxing in such a peaceful, well-kept space was a dream. This is easily one of the best places we’ve stayed, and we would absolutely come back again without hesitation.

Really, thank you so much for taking the time to write something so thorough. I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed the house, the views of the volcano, and that peaceful atmosphere that we work so hard to maintain. It was a pleasure to have you as guests, and you will always have a place here whenever you want to get away to Arenal again 🌋✨ Pura Vida, and I hope to see you again soon!

Hi Kristin! Thanks for your review ❤️

If you are considering Santiago’s rental- do it! My family stayed here and it was the most beautiful space we have rented. We were in a beautiful town, with so much to do- but didn’t want to leave. Fabulous service, wonderful people (Fabio - Santiago’s brother helped us as well). Wonderful!

This property is better in person than in pictures. I am always down playing my expectations to cope with disappointment but this property really hit it out of the park. It felt very upscale in person, the architecture, the attention to detail with the furniture and how clean it was, it really left us excited and grateful to be able to have the experience.

Absolutely amazing! Villa Cala and surrounding area is stunning and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. Thanks so much Santiago for booking our excursions, answering all of our questions, and meeting us to show us around the villa on arrival. 10/10

Hello Barret!! Pura vida! How are you? 😊 It’s been a pleasure having you with us here at Villa Cala!! Pura vida 🥰🇨🇷

It's the BEEEST house that I've ever stayed, when we arrived it really amazed us, the view, the design and the location, really worth to stay there, and we'll definitely come again for this house.

Hola JinXuan!!!!Thanks so much for your review!! I'm super happy to know that you truly loved it and had an amazing time with us!! Your comments inspire us offering the BEST service possible, pura vida!! :D

One of those rare properties where the gorgeous pictures still don't do the place justice.  It was simply jaw on the ground stunning - every detail inside and the nature setting was almost unreal.  Santiago was an A++ host that was super responsive and accommodating.  Can't recommend this home more strongly.  You will not be disappointed.

Hello Jonathan!! Pura vida!! Thanks for taking the time of writing a review of your experience with us!! It’s been wonderful having you with us, pura vida 😊

The bedrooms and the outside are just WOW. Another little wow for the master bedroom bathroom, the Spa-Pool and the small outdoor fireplace. Only thing to know: the kitchen space is a little limited: no oven, no dishwasher, no BBQ. For the rest, it's a very big WoW 
Thank you, Santiago!!!

Les chambres et l’extérieur sont tout simplement WOW. Petit WoW de plus pour la salle de bain de la chambre des maître, le Spa-Piscine et le petit foyer extérieur. Seule chose à savoir: l’espace cuisine est un peu limité: pas de four, ni de lave-vaisselle, ni de BBQ. Pour le reste c’est un très gros WoW Merci Santiago!!!

Hello Alain! It’s been a pleasure having you with us, pura vida!!

We loved the villa, just beautiful there. And the host was super friendly and always responded quickly and helped us with every little thing. Super accommodation

Wir waren von der Villa begeistert einfach nur schön dort. Und der Gastgeber war super freundlich und hat immer schnell geantwortet und uns bei jeder Kleinigkeit geholfen. Super Unterkunft

Wow! That's exactly the reaction we had when we got back to the place! The place was amazing and very clean, Santiago was very responsive and proactive with us. From the jacuzzi we were able to observe many birds and especially a toucan!

wouaaaah ! c'est exactement la réaction que nous avons eu en rentrant dans le logement ! le logement était incroyable et très propre, Santiago était très réactif et pro actif avec nous. depuis le jacuzzi nous avons pu observer de nombreux oiseaux et notamment un toucan !

Hello Jenn!! Pura vida!! It's been amazing having you here at Villas Jawara! It's very pleasant to hear that you had an amazing time and that could saw animals around!! Pura vida!! 🌋❤️

We absolutely loved Santiago’s villas - the property is beautiful and quiet with a direct view of the volcano. We were one of the first people to stay in the villa and it was amazing. Santiago was a great host and very responsive with lots of recommendations. We wished we could’ve stayed longer!

Hola Madeline!! Muchas gracias por compartir tus comentarios, ha sido un placer recibirte con nosotros!! Nos llena de alegría saber que has disfrutado tu estadía en Costa Rica, pura vida!! 😊🇨🇷

Villa Cala is a beautiful private villa with stunning views of the volcano, so peaceful. 
The architecture of the house is stunning. We loved our stay. Breathtaking views. 

The home is located inside of Los Lagos Resort with access to the hot springs & pool. Don’t forget to check out the Volcano View Point that’s right by the villa, a short drive. Stunning! 

Santiago was very responsive and had great recommendations. We will definitely be back 🇨🇷

Amazing stay with the best volcano view!

Villa Cala has an absolutely incredible volcano view—easily the best we’ve seen. It’s private, super safe, and located inside the Los Lagos Hotel. 

The room facilities were excellent and very comfortable, and the highlight was enjoying the stunning volcano view right from the villa’s yard. Waking up to that scenery was unforgettable.

Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for comfort, security, and an unbeatable view.

Of course, host Santiago is very responsive! Best Airbnb experience ever!!!
