Villa in La Fortuna

We stayed at Casa Fortuna for 4 nights and felt completely at home. The house was spacious, giving our family of four plenty of space and privacy. We had an amazing time in La Fortuna and would highly recommend this place to anyone who loves nature and values a private stay. The large pool was a huge bonus for us—there was nothing better than unwinding in the water after a day full of adventure! Christina, thank you so much for all your help and quick responses. Thanks again for a fantastic stay!

The La Fortuna Villa is the real thing for people that want a comfortable and spacious place in nature. It provides all the basics without being pretentious. We birded in the yard, swam in the pristine pool, and enjoyed socializing in the second story “observatory”.

The location of the home is fantastic. We were lucky enough to see the volcano to one day.!! the house met our needs.

This was paradise, the birds and volcano view was amazing.  The coordination of activities was also fantastic

Beautiful spot right outside of town. Near to activities in the area. We loved the backyard and pool, and we were able to see quite a lot of wildlife. We had some trouble with locating the house, getting proper codes/keys, and the alarm system. The backdoor locking system didn't function, so we kept getting locked out. Owners were responsive and helpful though!

This house has an amazing view of the Arenal Volcano and beautiful greenery all around the property! The only cons are that the alarm system was a bit tricky to figure out, towels were stained & the kitchen lacked basic essentials such as salt/sugar. We communicated about the towels, and fresh towels were provided the following morning which was great!

Our fave things were the location- close enough to town to walk or a quick drive but far enough it was quiet, peaceful and the property was secure and safe. The pool was beautiful, the house had lots of space for the six of us and the AC in bedrooms was great at night. The house is older and could use some minor repairs but there was nothing that impacted our enjoyment and the host was always helpful if there was an issue. We loved the authentic feel of this place and hope whoever stays next says hi to the little  black kitty who visited nightly and perhaps sneaks into the laundry room to find a cosy place to sleep. ❤️

Lovely home with a great pool. Very walkable to downtown and the rope swing. House was comfortable

This was our 2nd time staying here! This time, my husband and I brought our kids so we could share our love for this place with them. The home is clean and spacious, yet cozy enough to bring the family together. We spent our days doing activities offered around town, then cooled off in the pool and hung out in the yard together before heading to dinner. There are so many places to eat close by that are within walking distance if you do not rent a car. If you decide to rent a car however, the property is about a 15 minute walk to Alamo Rental Car downtown. Also around there you’ll find tons more places to eat, grocery markets, and gift shops, etc. Christine (co-host) is very kind and helpful and responsive. She can help you book anything you can think of! We hope to come back a 3rd time someday! Pura Vida!

Lovely home, well equipped and just as described. The owner is super-responsive about everything.  The ambiance of the house and property fits the area very well.

The Villa lived up to our expectations. The property was private, secure and lovely. We spent our mornings bird watching while sipping coffee. Location was walkable to some great restaurants and very convenient to the swing and adventures. Huge amount of space for a family of four. The pool is well maintained and perfect for a dip after a long day of exploring.

The villa is in a beautiful landscaped yard with a view of the volcano.   The house is a typical Costa Rican type rental.   The host was very responsive whenever we had questions.  The living room furniture is not very comfortable.  The upstairs furniture doesn't make into a comfortable bed.  We did enjoy our time at the villa!

The grounds of this home are beautiful and private, with many flowering trees, plants and shrubs, tonnes of birds and on a clear day a stunning view of the volcano. Our family of 6 had lots of space to gather or be apart- with two indoor common areas, and a large outdoor table under shelter.  The bedrooms and one common tv area have air conditioning units, and the rest of the house does not have a/c, but there are some fans. Christina their property manager  was exceptional- she was very responsive and gave many recommendations.  Overall we had a wonderful time and enjoyed our stay here- the property was beautiful.

If you are Looking for a place that’s quiet, safe, yet close to La Fortuna- this is it. The kids walked to el salto for Tarzan swing (10 min) and a soda around the corner. We drove to town as it was a little farther. The house is eclectic (a little dated) but the surrounding yard is lush and full of birds. I would stay here again.

Absolutely great place to stay! So peaceful!

This is my second time staying at Casa Villa Fortuna! I first fell in love with Costa Rica four years ago staying in that house. To be back was so special. The location is walkable to La Fortuna and grocery stores. The restaurant down the road La Tequitia is delicious. The property is well kept, the pool is pristine. It’s a bird paradise. The plants after 4 years have grown to become so majestic. Christine who is the property manager is super helpful, friendly, and very generous with her time. She helped us with our tours and making sure we had time to do everything. Alonso, thank you mae! It was amazing to be back! Recommended for families, groups of 5-6 friends or solo travellers. We loved it

Our family had an amazing stay.  We had everything we needed for the stay, and can't recommend this home enough.

This was a return trip for us as we had stayed at  this location seven years ago. It is a beautiful home with an amazing yard and pool. Weather permitting there is a fantastic volcano view.
Since our last stay , the upkeep seems to be lacking. We had several problems which were all addressed promptly. Some attention definitely needs to be paid to be cleanliness,  the plumbing and the grounds. That being said for large group, the space has the potential to be amazing.

excelente alojamiento es muy grande y bonito

Perfect villa-!
More than we expected-!
Absolutely one of the best Air B and Bs I’ve ever booked.
Stunning home designed by an architect. Ample room in all areas of the home and property. Pool and grounds were fabulous. We will book each and every time we are in Costa Rica.
Book this place and enjoy an over the top experience.

This home is on a large, private, fenced in lot full of beautiful flora and fauna. It also has a great view of the Arenal volcano. Location was perfect. It is a short drive into La Fortuna, with grocery store and restaurants near by. The swimming pool was awesome. Christine offered many suggestions for during our stay. David Vargas, with Los Vargas Dining Experience, was a great recommendation. He and his wife came to the house and made us a delicious authentic Costa Rican breakfast. (David also offers dinners in his home, as well as went as a tour guide for us at Arenal Fields, both of which were great experiences as well.) The only cons were that there was no functional oven, and the couch in the main living room was essentially uncomfortable patio furniture that made it difficult to enjoy a family movie night. The washer and dryer took a little getting used to, but we were very grateful to have it available. We would love to stay here again. The property itself was gorgeous.

Very nice house as described. Beautifully maintained tropical garden. Christine is attentive, very responsive and facilitates the stay. Nothing to say, really! Thanks for your hospitality!

Très jolie maison conforme à la description. Jardin tropical magnifiquement entretenu. Christine est attentive , très réactive et facilite le séjour. Rien n’a dire, vraiment ! Merci pour votre accueil !

We loved staying here.  It's very close to so many adventures and good restaurants. It's beautiful, peaceful and private with a lovely view of the Arenal Volcano.

Absolutely lovely stay.  We felt completely safe and everything was as described. We could easily walk to town, but felt away from it. We also did a tour through our hosts which was brilliant.

We had a great stay for 3 nights. We liked the property with so many trees and plants and the sounds of birds. The pool was nice and our kids enjoyed the changing colors of the pool lights at night. The view of the Arenal volcano from the sun deck upstairs was a great view. The beds were comfortable and the concierge Christine was very helpful in answering all our questions promptly before and during the stay and she even stopped by to show us how some appliances worked when we had questions. The location is great to go to downtown La Fortuna for restaurants and the nearby grocery store was very convenient and even got a restaurant to deliver one night as it is close to most of the restaurants in the area. Overall, great place for a comfortable stay.

Amazing house for the price. Great location, amazing view of Volcano.  Very private.   Would highly recommend.  Christine was very helpful and great recommendations.

Christine was awesome to work with. She gave us recommendations for tours and followed up quickly whenever we needed anything. She even setup some chefs to come into the home to cook’s us dinner. She made sure we felt at home in the rental. The house itself couldn’t have been more perfect. It is very nice and was a great place to relax after a day of adventures.

Beautiful gardens, lovely views, spacious and characterful building close to all amenities La Fortuna has to offer.

A very nice place to stay. The highlight is the roof room overlooking the volcano. When checking in you have to be quick, ants bit our feet when we were at the gate. The control for the different lights partially did not work properly, because Alexa was not properly paired. All in all, however, it was a very nice place to stay that I would like to recommend.

Eine sehr schöne Unterkunft. Das Highlight ist das Dachzimmer mit Blick auf den Vulkan. Beim Checkin muss man schnell sein, uns haben Ameisen in die Füße gebissen als wir am Tor standen. Die Steuerung für die verschiedenen Lichter hat teilweise nicht richtig geklappt, da Alexa nicht richtig gekoppelt war. Alles in allem war es aber eine sehr schöne Unterkunft, die ich gerne weiterempfehlen möchte.

Beautiful property full of plants and birds and a big house a great size for our family of 6. Location is quiet but close to activities and restaurants and the host was very easy to communicate with and helpful.

Our concierge was extremely accommodating, responsive and very kind. The property was amazing and our family of kids, grandparents and adults felt right at home. We enjoyed an in home chef experience with Carol and Laura that was delicious and so fun! I highly recommend Villa Casa Fortuna!!

Great home with a refreshing pool. Safe neighborhood with a big yard. We had a neighbor dog we named Tico Blancito  that came over daily for a visit. Great restaurants and stores close by. Truly Pura Vida!

This place is lovely and the host was very helpful. She booked some tours for us- one was last minute. The pool was fun, but the hidden gem was finding a stack of old National Geographic magazines. We spent a couple (very) rainy evenings thumbing through those magazines and considered it time well spent!

Great place!! We enjoyed the location and very responsive host! Thank you!

Return customers. This is our second stay, and we had just as good a time as the first. The property is incredible, especially for bird watchers. We saw Macaws each day, along with many other birds. The home is very clean and comfortable. You can walk to town, or do a quick car ride. There are great restaurants and local Sodas close by too. A huge bonus was that Christine was able to help us with any tours we wanted. She checked in to see how things were, and if there was anything needed. Highly recommend. Also, cute Domingo, the dog next door, greeted us every day with his happy face.

The house is spacious and beautiful. The location is central. I would go again.

La casa es espaciosa y bonita. La ubicación es céntrica. Volvería a ir.

**An Absolute Gem!** This Airbnb was everything we hoped for and more. The house was clean, comfortable, and beautifully authentic to the area, with thoughtful details that really made it feel special. What really stood out was the peaceful setting—surrounded by nature, it felt like the perfect escape, yet it was still just a short drive to town for anything we needed. Our host was fantastic—super responsive, friendly, and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. Communication was excellent throughout. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway in a stunning location with easy access to town, this place is a gem. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

My friends and I stayed here for three nights and had the best time. The house is in a peaceful location and conveniently located to restaurants and groceries. Christine was a responsive and welcoming host. She arranged a traditional Costa Rican meal one night at the house which was one of the highlights of our trip. I would definitely stay here again!

We had an amazing stay at Villa Fortuna. The home is more beautiful than the photos. We had a bit of an issue with the alarm on arrival and received a text from Christine almost immediately checking to see if everything was ok. Any questions we had were answered in minutes. The home itself has everything listed in amenities. It's a beautiful property surrounded by tropical flora and fauna. We saw so many gorgeous birds every morning when having coffee on the back patio. It was rainy most of the days we were there, so didn't use the pool, but it was clean and warm (we dipped our feet in). There were great recommendations for local restaurants and tours. We booked one through our host and it was so convenient. We were close to everything (we did have a car). We can't say enough good things about this stay. Thanks so much!

We had a great time in this house, peaceful and private. The swimming pool was great after a hike or any activity we did. Short distance to many good restaurants. Christine helped us with some tours and made everything easier for us! We loved the place and we’ll be back with more family for sure

The house is very compartmentalized. The bedrooms have good ac units and keep the bedrooms very comfortable. The rest of the house gets warm however the kitchen has a nice ceiling fan. The main bathroom is fairly small/tight. The downstairs TV room gets very warm/hot and if the ceiling fan isn't working the room is too warm to comfortably use. We saw several colorful birds from the kitchen. It's a quiet location lots of landscaping. The access road to the house is a very rough rocky road. We didn't mind walking to town. There are some good restaurants closer that you can also easily walk to.

Thank you for your helpful feedback. It was a pleasure meeting you and having as guests.

We loved our stay! The grounds are absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed looking at all of the different plants and watching the birds. We even saw parrots! We could also hear howler monkeys a couple times during our stay. It was a great location to explore the area from. Walkable to town if wanted. The house is amazingly pest free considering the climate. We were very impressed. Even the yard did not have many bugs - could be due to the plethora of birds available to clean up, and the meticulously kept yard. One of our favorite parts was the visiting bichon frise dog named Domingo! He belongs to one of the neighbors and is the perfect gentleman and a wonderful host :) He was always there to say hello and hang out while you were outside. We loved him! We would stay here again. The pool was great to cool off in.

Hola Marina, What a kind review. We have taken your suggestions into consideration and appreciate your feedback. See you again someday!

It wasn't hot or sunny enough to make use of the pool and that would have made the stay nicer; the chairs were alawys wet so we didn't even sit out there. The place was clean and as nice as the photos and the hosts were very responsive to a couple issues we had with the gas stove and door lock, which we appreciated. They tok care of both issues right away. However we were under the impression we could walk to more restaurants or activities and we didn't find it as manageable as stated - the "sdiewalks" are in need of significant repair and it's quite dark at night for walking. It didn't feel safe to go into town on foot at night which limited our evening activity. That was the only disappointment - (that and we never did see the top of the volcano!) otherwise everything was great.

Hi Michelle - thank you for your comments. I will make it more clear for future clients. It was a pleasure having you!

We loved our time in La Fortuna! The house was beautiful. We loved the privacy and the grounds. It was easy to get around town and Christine was awesome and very responsive. We all agreed that we would definitely stay here again!

Thank you so much, Mary. We’ve taken your comments into consideration (more pillows upstairs) and will implement them. Would love to have you back again!

The location was good, just not quite as close to town as I was expecting. The yard and pool were great along with the response to any questions/concerns and setting up of excursions. The furniture/appliances could use some updating.

Property was lovely and as described. An oasis with a country feeling but close enough to walk to town. The patio and pool area with beautiful gardens were where we spent most of our time when not sight seeing.

My family of 5 stayed here in February. What a great place. Really felt like home. Quiet and calming yet close to downtown. Great location. Christina was our lead contact. Always very responsive. Super helpful with recommendations for everything. When we come back to LaFortuna we will stay here again for sure. Loved it !

Stunning view of the volcano. Beautiful, well appointed land. Very clean.

Superbe vue sur le volcan. Beau terrain bien aménagé. Très propre.

Wonderful place to stay. Beautiful older home. A/C in bedrooms worked great! The rest of the house was open air but very comfortable. Had everything needed in the kitchen. Appliances could be updated but still workable. Christine and Lawra shopped, cooked and cleaned up for us for a very reasonable price and were so kind and fun! Even showed us how to make homemade corn tortillas! Location was close to town with a beautiful view of the volcano from upstairs. We felt very safe with the gated fence and alarm system. The yard was filled with beautiful floral bushes, birds and iguanas. We highly recommend staying here. They were very helpful and informative and friendly! I didn’t want to come home. ❤️

The house was really spacious and set up very nicely.  Beautiful grounds and we felt very safe with the electronic gate and alarm system. The house was also near many of the attractions at La Fortuna which made getting around easier for us. Our one suggestion is with the hot water in the shower. There were times where there was no hot water at all and when we did have hot water, it was so hot we couldn’t enjoy it.  Other than that, though, the place is really great.

We saw more birds, wildlife, and plants in the yard than others saw on paid tours. The house and grounds made for a fabulous vacation. The pool was nice and the view of the volcano from the house was spectacular when the clouds cleared. Christine was very helpful and responsive when booking excursions for us. I would definitely stay here again on return trips to Costa Rica! Pura Vida!

Beautiful home in a quiet location with a great view of the Arenal volcano.  Lots of beautiful plants and flowers and everything we needed in the kitchen.

I loved the stay in the house, a private place and perfect to share with friends and family

Me encantó la estadía en la casa, un lugar privado y perfecto para compartir con amigos y familia

beautiful location . the grounds were beautiful and there were a lot of birds to watch. it's a bit of a walk to town but it is doable. it's nice to have restaurants and grocery stores close by we cooked several meals at the house and used the grill. the pool was a plus. the house is close to activities. a great place for a home base.

The house is in a beautiful garden area and corresponds to the description. Certainly, renovations could / should be considered at one or the other corner. Still, we found a very clean house which was a nice starting point for our excursions. La Fortuna and several restaurants are within walking distance. On the negative, we were registered as a group of 7 people. Unfortunately, there were not enough cups and glasses available for each of us. Also missing pillows and duvets for the seventh person. This necessitated several inquiries, to which Christine was very quick and always very friendly. Unpleasant  and dangerous was the exploded gas boiler in a shower. There was uncontrolled gas and we were afraid of a fire. Christine came by late at night to get a picture of the situation. The afternoon of the following day, the problem could be solved and we had 2 bathrooms available again. Therefore: Renovations?

Das Haus befindet sich in einer schönen Gartenanlage und entspricht der Beschreibung. Sicherlich könnte / sollte an der ein oder anderen Ecke über Renovierungen nachgedacht werden. Dennoch fanden wir ein sehr sauberes Haus vor, was einen schönen Ausgangsort für unsere Ausflüge darstellte. La Fortuna und mehrere Restaurants sind fußläufig gut erreichbar. Zum Negativen: Wir waren als Gruppe von 7 Personen angemeldet. Leider waren nicht genügend Tassen und Gläser für jeden von uns verfügbar. Auch fehlten Kissen und Bettdecken für die siebte Person. Dies machte mehrere Nachfragen nötig, denen Christine sehr rasch und immer stets sehr freundlich nachkam. Unangenehm  und gefährlich war der explodierte Gasboiler in einer Dusche. Es trat unkontrolliert Gas aus und wir hatten Angst vor einem Brand. Christine kam spät abends noch vorbei um sich ein Bild der Lage zu machen. Am Nachmittag des Folgetages konnte das Problem gelöst werden und wir hatten wieder 2 Bäder verfügbar. Daher: Renovierungen?

This was a great property with a fun yard. It was a nice short walk to town!

We had a great stay in Alonso's house! Lots of space, a great garden with lots of birds and clean rooms. Minor problems were quickly resolved by Christine. One of our most beautiful stops in Costa Rica! Thank you very much!

Great place, perfect location, near downtown. Communication was very good too. Thank you so much!

Excelente lugar, ubicación perfecta, cerca del centro. La comunicación fue muy buena también. Muchas gracias!

GREAT place to stay. Private, Beautiful, Views, Birds, So many wonderful things about this location. We went to the river every day and swung off the rope, we walked to town most days and when we weren't exploring or playing, we were at the pool relaxing or cooking the big kitchen. Things I wish it would have had... A broom :), A big indoor table, and maybe a more comfortable couch. ha-ha.. Who has time for TV anyway. Truley would stay there a million times over.

My family had a lovely stay at Villa Casa Fortuna. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and the view of the volcano was one-of-a-kind. We especially enjoyed how colorfully lit up the grounds were at night, pool included! The hot water was a bit temperamental, but that was a small price to pay for the whole experience. The kitchen was clean and spacious and we were thankful for the laundry space.

I enjoyed my stay at this beautiful home.  Perfect location, close enough to town to walk.  The hosts were very responsive and went out of their way to help me when I had a minor emergency and needed to get to San Jose.  The grounds and pool were wonderful, private and relaxing.  I will definitely return!

It was a beautiful house. Christine was very responsive and friendly.

the house alarm did not work  yet it was required to arm it when you leave. I reported the alarm on day one and no one came out to repair it. the house was broken into and a significant amount of my families electronics were stolen. the safe in the master is inoperable also. the kitchen is poorly appointed wit old appliances and even older pots and pan I had to improvise just to make breakfast.  the hot water did not work in the showers it was scalding hot or ice cold . this was reported no one came out to fix it. great place if you don't mind your stuff stolen and cold showers.  then there is Airbnb I will never use them again 6500+ stolen and they offered 500 max. they send you from one team member to another with little response to where you down.  Stay in a hotel .

Hi Brian, Thank you for sharing your feedback. On behalf of the owners and myself, I want to sincerely apologize for your experience at our home. We discovered that the house alarm system was not functioning correctly due to one window that wasn’t fully closed in the kitchen, which caused an error. Since then, we’ve replaced the windows and upgraded the alarm system with additional features, including light detection sensors in the garden and more cameras. The property remains very secure with its tall perimeter fence and electric gate, and these enhancements provide even greater safety. We’ve also been working closely with local authorities and have helped establish a neighborhood watch program. Unfortunately, our property was not the only one affected by theft; a gang targeting Airbnb homes in the area had been active. Thankfully, they have since been apprehended, and the situation has significantly improved. Additionally, we’ve taken your comments about the kitchen appliances and overall amenities very seriously. We are making a considerable investment in upgrading the kitchen, following recent improvements such as replacing all the air conditioners, installing a new water heater in the master bathroom, and remodeling the pool. Once again, we deeply regret the inconvenience you experienced and greatly appreciate your feedback. Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention, and we hope we can regain your trust in the future. Warm regards, Christine

Beautiful home a short distance from Fortuna. Walkable to restaurants and the popular rope swing! Hosts were extremely helpful and hospitable.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa La Fortuna. We traveled with a family of 7, ranging in ages from 7-77. Everyone was able to find a comfortable place to sleep, and there was plenty of room to spread out. The grounds are spectacular with numerous fruit trees, wildlife, and a delightfully refreshing and newly updated pool. The kitchen is adequately equipped though there is no oven (a toaster oven instead). The house is open air which is how Costa Ricans live, and made for a seamless feeling between outdoors and in. Christine (the property manager) was kind, responsive, and very helpful. The house is centrally located, and you cannot beat the number of activities and restaurants that are a stone's throw away. My kids loved walking to the nearby river and swinging on the rope swing. We already miss our days in CR and look forward to coming back!

Location was great, pool was empty when we arrived and we were unable to use it at all. Propane was out for the water heater in the master, but they replaced quickly. Other than that very nice place.

This was our first stop in Costa-rica, what a place to start! I didn't tire of waking up to the view of the volcano every morning! The house, garden and pool were just as pictured and it was great to have the pool as it was very hot and muggy when we were there. The BBQ was also a great touch! The host was very responsive and delt with all our questions quickly and effectively. I wished I'd asked the host first before booking tours as they had reasonably priced recommendations to use. We loved the rope swing and went 3 times as in walking distance. We also visited the hanging bridges, hot springs (free and paying), the volcano national park, zipling, did the best coffee and chocolate tour (Don Olivo) and a night tour all within a close drive. Be aware the house is open in places (not bedrooms) so there are bugs, all very manageable. Very slight criticism house is lacking in toiletries and no chopping board. I would not hesitate to recommend this house.

Beautiful home, very close to town of la fortuna. I would 100% be back.

the property is wonderful and the hostels were so nice and responsive and helpful. the washer was broken so they even washed our clothes in their own units! great local suggestions as well!

Great location close to everything you need but in a quiet street. Owner very responsive

Gorgeous home with prettier landscaping than most high end hotels. Great location, unbelievable views of the volcano especially from the loft. Easy walk into town, and there’s a good restaurant at the end of the block. Hosts were extremely helpful, accommodating, and responded to our questions quickly.. We used Costa Rica inspirations for our activities, as recommended by the property. All of the activities were as advertised or better, and our transportation arrived exactly on time every day. Kristel and Pablo were fantastic as guides, and we had them for multiple adventures — we felt spoiled! Our family of 5 (including 3 teenage boys) would absolutely stay here again and would recommend the property to anyone staying in La Fortuna.

REally enjoyed our time in La Fortuna and Alonso's house was perfect for us. Pool was a lovely treat after hot excursions in the morning. AC worked well in bedrooms. And a wonderful local vibe.

Very nice place. Pool and outdoor area was beautiful. Inside was spacious. Host was very responsive and helpful.

The property was beautiful! The living space and kitchen is open to the outside so there were some ants in. But we found that keeping all food in the fridge helped. Also there is no A/C in the kitchen and living room. This being said it was still a great place to stay in LA Fortuna!

This property is a beautiful piece of nature right in La Fortuna. When we’re not out on tours, we were enjoying birds and lizards in the gardens. If you are a bird watcher or lover of nature, this property has it all. The house was well appointed, and it was great having laundry available. It was very comfortable. Walking distance to everything you need, or a short drive. José, who takes care of the pool was very kind and shared some nature videos with us. Christine, who manages the property was always responsive to any questions, and helped us with our tours. Highly recommend this property!

Villa Casa Fortuna is fantastic,  like a little oasis in the middle of a town.  The surrounding houses have a very small garden/yard, but villa casa fortuna is really a villa, there's a long entry way and the house is surrounding by a HUGE garden full of beautiful exotic plants visited by colorful birds.  The house is very spacious and very nice! The pool is amazing and the view to the volcano is out of this world. Since this house is in a small town surrounded by forest,  there are a lot of animals and bugs as expected,  and the house is not really closed to the outdoors in many places so there are quite a bit of creepy crawlies in the house.  We were not bothered by them since we understood we were the ones invading their surroundings,  but do expect to see butterflies,  frogs,  millipedes, ants, lizards,  moths,  and occasionally roaches inside the house.  There were some very small bugs in the kitchen,  so we had to keep all our food inside the fridge; cleaning products are a must.

This is one of the best places I have ever stayed - this is a great vacation house with a magnificent garden. Loved the stay. My kids spent hours in the pool. The house is better than the pictures.

This is a great location. I loved walking into town in the morning to get fresh pastries and coffee. It was about a 15 min walk (but I’m a fast walker). Great view of the volcano. Beautiful property.

A great house with all you’ll need for a great vacation at La Fortuna.  Christine was always response and ready to help! The house has a great pool and beautiful view of the Arenal volcano. It was very close to town and good restaurants. The bedrooms are nice and air conditioned. The common areas did not have air conditioning and can get a bit hot if the temperatures are high. Overall a great place to stay in La Fortuna.

We had an amazing time staying here! The house and yard is incredible. The host was great and we simply really enjoyed everything. Great for a larger group and anyone who plans to possibly BBQ. That was originally not in our plans but we loved the yard so much we decided to stay in one night!

Beautiful home with absolutely stunning grounds! Gorgeous tropical plants, birds, and an iguana. Beautiful view of the volcano. My son loved the pool. The location is walking distance from the local swimming hole. The home is the perfect size for a family of 6. The living room is open to the outside, so there will be a few bugs. However, even my 9yo bug-phobic kid settled in after the first night. It was quite warm when we first arrived, but once we got the fans on and turned on the upstairs AC, the kitchen and living room were comfortable. The bedroom AC units kept them very cool at night. The host, Christine, was very responsive. My mother fell while hiking and sustained a laceration on her hand that required sutures. Christine found us an urgent care that was open and even called ahead to let them know we were coming. We had an issue with the hot water in one of the showers, and she had it fixed right away. She also arranged for a private transfer for us last minute. Great stay!

We really enjoyed staying in this house! Everything was really nice and being quiet but close to everything makes it an extraordinary holiday site. Christine makes us feel at home and she is very attentive. Do not hesitate to ask them for recommendations or organization for activities! She organized us a local cooking session and we did the shopping and preparation with the very friendly cooks. That was really great!

Nous avons vraiment beaucoup apprécié séjourner dans cette maison! Tout était vraiment très agréable et le fait de se trouver au calme mais près de tout à la fois en fait un site de vacances extraordinaire. Christine nous fait nous sentir chez nous et elle est très attentive. Il ne faut pas hésiter à lui demander des recommandations ou de l’organisation pour les activités! Elle nous a organisé une session de cuisine locale et nous avons fait les courses et la préparation avec les cuisinières fort sympathiques. C’était vraiment super!

Beautiful property, but it has the potential to be so much more than it is. The best thing about the property is the location- close to El Salto (the local rope swing) less than a 10 min drive to La Fortuna Waterfall, beautiful view of the Volcano, and walking distance to Tiquicia ( great local restaurant). The pool was very nice- but EXTREMELY over chlorinated. Master bed very comfortable The Grill was not cleaned and only worked if you had a lighter- same with the stove inside ( which two of the burners didn't work) There was barely any provisions for guests ( no trash bags, extra paper towels, etc.) I also contacted the host Christine and asked for a blanket, which she said "she totally forgot". The lighting in the kitchen is VERY dark Overall- if someone took the time to be a good host- and put some thought into this place it could be great- Unfortunately, this place falls short. Feels like they provide as little as possible to get you in and get you out which is too bad.

This was such a beautiful home. Stayed with my family of 6 and were so comfortable. Scenic view of the mountain. Will Definitely recommend.

Beautiful home and gardens, the birds are amazing! Location was perfect and Christine our host was beyond helpful and kind

We had a great time at the Casa of Alonso. Everything was clean and worked perfectly. We enjoyed the 3 nights to the fullest!

Wir hatten eine super Zeit in der Casa von Alonso. Alles war sauber und hat perfekt funktioniert. Wir haben die 3 Nächte in vollen Zügen genossen!

The house and its environment are qualitative; you feel good in the evening to live around the pool The house is perfect for 6 people ( 6 chairs in kitchen counter table, 6 real beds)

La maison et son environnement sont qualitatifs; on se sent bien le soir à vivre autour de la piscine La maison est parfaite pour 6 personnes ( 6 chaises en table comptoir de cuisine, 6 vrais couchages)

The house is in such a great location in La Fortuna, private with beautiful grounds. The kids enjoyed the pool every day and we made full use of the kitchen and barbecue there. Alonso was extremely responsive to questions that we had about the place, even identifying the trees and plants in the extensive grounds! We saw Toucans and humming birds regularly there. There is a great restaurant you can walk to at the end of the road that we had dinner at. Highly recommend it! I would definitely recommend this home to others!

attractive house with a lot of character and pretty gardens with birds. pool was nice also. had to wait two hours for cleaning to be completed.

The place was really nice, peaceful and spacious. Quiet place, well located. Hot water hard to control but the host came to fixed it Beautiful place in nature with nice pool Recommended for people who like forest and not scare of bugs

A beautiful, tranquil property with plenty of space for my entire family. Alonso was responsive and easy to work with.

Pros: The grounds were beautiful. The pool and backyard were great and the house was clean upon arrival and as described. Definitely have them cook you a meal at least once! It was delicious. Cons: the showers in both bathrooms did not function well. The hot water stayed on for a minute, then would shut off after about 20 seconds. Did this every shower. Had to turn the water off and on several times to get it hot again and when it is hot- it is scalding hot. Massive ant problem, especially in the master. Ants were all over the bed and not sleep able. Had to sleep in the spare bedroom. I would have left a better review but the owner stopped responding once I asked him when they were coming to take care of the issues.

The house worked great for our group of six, peaceful and the pool was wonderful. The view was spectacular! One thing no one mentioned in their reviews was the living room with the comfortable furniture has a roof that has open soffits to the outside so there were bars that flew in and out of the room. They’re great for keeping bugs at bay but we were a little freaked out to use the room. There is a glass door dividing that room from the upstairs room. The main town is walkable with a 15 min walk and the restaurant at the end of the road was really good!
