Palma Verde Arenal - Houses for Rent in La Fortuna, Provincia de Alajuela, Costa Rica

A truly wonderful property, modern, impeccably clean, and with all the amenities you could possibly need. The highlight for us was the garden and pool. We sat watching the stunning variety of birds for hours on end! The location is very private but also only a few minutes walk from the centre of town. Teresita was extremely responsive and any small issues were resolved immediately. They also very helpfully booked lots of activities on our behalf including a wonderful night hike with Natura Eco Park, Ecoglide Zipline, and the Arenal Volcano 1968 hike. Thanks for a magical 4 nights in La Fortuna!

Thank you, Rob — I’m so glad you enjoyed the garden, pool and the comforts of our house. It was a pleasure arranging your activities, and I appreciate your feedback; we’ll keep working to make everything seamless for future stays.

La Fortuna House is truly a magical oasis. The property is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and feels like you’ve escaped to a private retreat high in the hills, while still being so close to everything. From the moment you arrive, you feel completely relaxed and surrounded by nature. The property feels incredibly safe and private, which made our stay even more enjoyable. It honestly feels like you’re an hour away in the hills, yet you’re just minutes from everything you could possibly need. Every detail of the house and property is so beautiful and thoughtfully done. It’s the kind of place that instantly makes you slow down, breathe, and appreciate where you are. We absolutely loved our stay and would come back in a heartbeat. Truly a special and magical place!

Thank you, Katie, for your lovely review and for choosing our house for your stay. I’m so happy you felt relaxed, safe, and surrounded by nature while still being close to everything. We’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime!

Beautiful home in a perfect location. The property was exactly what we were looking for and provided a great setting for our family vacation. The home itself is beautiful, comfortable, and well maintained, and the location made it easy to enjoy everything the area has to offer. The host was extremely responsive, accommodating, and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. We really appreciated how quickly she responded whenever we had a question or needed anything. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would happily recommend this home to others.

Thank you for your kind words, Patrick. I’m so glad our house provided the perfect setting for your family vacation and that you felt comfortable and well taken care of. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I’d love to welcome you back anytime!

This home was amazing! The pictures do it no justice. It is beautiful and clean. The home and landscaping is worth it alone. I would always stay here. Private and the town is right outside the gate. My family of 7 adults and a teenager had plenty of room.

Thank you, Tora — I’m so glad our house and grounds exceeded your expectations and offered the privacy and convenience you wanted. We appreciate you staying with us and would be happy to welcome you back anytime.

Absolutely perfect!!  Our family of 5 had so much room to spread out and the house is gorgeous!  Great location but also private. Grounds are beautiful and well kept. Teresita met us at the house and showed us around and we felt right at home. Thank you for an amazing time!!!

Thank you, Leslie — I’m so glad you felt at home and enjoyed the space, location, and grounds. It was a pleasure to meet you, and we’d be happy to welcome you back to our house whenever you return to La Fortuna.

We have been coming to La Fortuna for over 20 years and this was the absolute best place we have stayed with our family of 5. From the moment we booked the house, Teresita was extremely responsive and met us at the house for checkin. The house has a rich history that Teresita shares as she introduces you to the house, making the experience even more meaningful for us. If you have kids or a larger group and need more space than the hotels offer, this is the absolute best option in La Fortuna. Private bridge over the river, walkable to town, yet private and safe. And a pool! The attention to detail and cleanliness was a huge plus for us. We are so grateful to have had an opportunity to stay at this beautiful family home and will continue to stay here for years to come!

Thank you, Kerry Ann, for your wonderful review and for choosing our house — I’m glad the history, location, and cleanliness made your stay meaningful. I look forward to welcoming you back to Palma Verde Arenal on your future visits to La Fortuna.

We had an amazing time!  The house was perfect and we couldn’t have asked for a better location.  The house was exactly as described and was very clean.  We will definitely be back.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Jenny. I’m glad our house and its location met your expectations and that you enjoyed the cleanliness and amenities. Looking forward to having you back soon!

We absolutely love this place. It had everything we needed for our stay and more. Felt right at home, private, safe, secure and beautiful. The host was friendly, helpful and responsive. I recommend to place illuminated lighting near the entrance of the property or a small sign. There is no street number or indicator that there is a private gated road (even though directions were placed in the Uber notes to each driver). Several Ubers could not locate us and cancelled several times, which was a huge inconvenience for our group. We enjoyed the personal chefs.  I gave the host a list of groceries to have on site for us when we arrived that was awesome. I plan to visit again and stay at Teresita’s place very soon.

Thank you so much for your review! We're delighted that you enjoyed your stay and made some wonderful memories! We hope to see you again the next time you visit our country! Teresita and Palma Verde Crew.

Beautiful home!! Great location, close to everything in La Fortuna and so peaceful with the beautiful gardens and pool. Plenty of space for large families or groups. Kitchen is super well stocked and host is so responsive and helpful! Would definitely stay here again!

The house and the grounds are absolutely beautiful! The location is incredible, with a shortcut that leads directly into La Fortuna. Bakery, grocery store, bars; everything you need is right there! The house is exceptionally spacious and perfect for a multi-generational family vacation.  A major highlight was seeing hummingbirds and a pair of scarlet macaws right on the property. Plus it was an easy drive to all local attractions. Highly recommended!

The house and the surrounding gardens and pool are beautiful!  All the bedrooms and bathrooms are great and offer good privacy as well as comfortable bedding and linens, with separate AC and fans in each as well.  The house has all the amenities you need for a great family vacation, and can also be easily shared with two families since there are so many bedrooms and private baths.  The home is private and just off the main road, but walkable to the shops and restaurants nearby. We especially enjoyed the Argentinian empanada shop just down the street.  Teresita is a lovely host too, super responsive and helpful and met us at the home for check-in, plus followed up quickly with any questions we had.

We traveled as a group of 8 (4 adults, 4 kids 10-15) and this house was perfect for us.  It is right in the location of downtown La Fortuna, but the home itself is very private, gated and felt very safe.  We woke up every morning listening to the birds and lost count of how many hummingbirds we saw!  The hosts were very informative - even helping us map the best route from SJO to their home to make sure we arrived safely.  I've shared the link and recommend anyone traveling to book this house.  I've been in the STR space for 6 years, and the host went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and the house was well stocked to have all the amenities we needed.   The house looks even better in person!  Photos don't do it justice !

Our stay exceeded our expectations. The house and grounds were immaculate, private, and beautiful. We enjoyed drinking coffee each morning on the expansive back porch surrounded by lush landscape and sounds of nature. The kitchen was well equipped and stocked. Bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and well appointed. Teresita our host was easy to communicate with and extremely helpful. Highly recommend this property if you want something in town and walkable yet peaceful and private.

This home is just perfect, peaceful and secluded but centric. Not only is the house beautiful, well stocked, comfortable and clean but it feels like a home. I cannot say enough about how beautiful the grounds are, we saw many birds and beautiful flowers. We were able to walk everywhere and had a very private walkway to access town. I would not change a thing. In addition to the home and location being perfect, the host is just stellar. Not only helpful, responsive, attentive and welcoming but also great human beings. I cannot thank Veronica enough for helping us with a medical emergency, she went above and beyond and thanks to her our son was able to enjoy the trip. She took care of groceries, a private chef dinner, special foods for our celiac son, and everything we needed and more. Highly recommend this home!

Teresita’s house was amazing! Very high end luxury feel, very clean and great location, highly recommended!

Our family of six had an amazing time staying here. Beautiful home, super safe, and quick access into town. We saw so many birds just sitting by the pool. It was nice to feel secluded and able to relax but get to restaurants and activities with ease. There’s a private gate access right into town, less than five minutes to get anywhere you want to go by foot. All amenities any family could need, very well done. The host was amazing, so responsive and helpful. Definitely a gem in La Fortuna.

You can tell Teresitas’s home had been kept in the family for a long time. The decorations, remodeling, furniture, and cleanliness were all so far beyond expectations that you know there were generations of love and pride that filled that home. The house is private while being a short walk into the town center. Our group of 7 spent our mornings and evening sitting outside and watching the various types of animal and birds that would pass through. It’s also worth getting cozy and watching to sunset over the volcano. We came from a previous Airbnb in Tamarindo that marked itself as “Luxury”, when it was really garbage. We lost a lot of money because of that place. Once we arrived to Teresita’s, it was like a breath of fresh air!

AMAZING home! This place is beautiful inside and out. All the rooms were spacious and had everything you needed, and every amenity you needed was there. Each host was very tentative and friendly and made our stay 10/10. They helped with excursions, transportation, food and local recommendations! If you every travel to Fortuna, this is the place to stay! ✨

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay.  Teresita and her team helped us arrange a chef at the home one evening.  After a full day of activity this was a great respite.  The rooms and bathrooms were comfortable and clean.  The kitchen, living and outdoor space was very well appointed and decorated.  We enjoyed walking for empanadas, pastries, lunch and necessities. I will recommend this home to all my friends considering a trip to La Fortuna.

We really enjoyed our stay. The home is beautiful. And included everything we needed after a day of excursions. Each room was clean and decorated beautifully. We felt very safe and enjoyed walking to downtown La Fortuna. There are great restaurants, a bakery, and a park is near, etc. I was Thankful she was able to make suggestions for transportation. I would definitely stay here again.

Our stay at Palma Verda was absolutely wonderful. The property is truly gorgeous inside and out... beautifully designed, extremely well maintained, and surrounded by stunning scenery that made for a perfect Costa Rica experience. Our host was fantastic to work with throughout the entire stay. They were incredibly responsive, helpful, and accommodating from start to finish, which made everything easy and stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay while visiting La Fortuna and would absolutely recommend Palma Verda to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable experience in Costa Rica.

Beautiful upscale home, great location within walking distance to town (if you’re mapping out walking times on Google Maps it doesn’t account for the side entrance/shortcut). Almost feels like you’re living in a magazine.

Really,  words cannot describe the beauty of property.  The photos do not do justice to the perfection of the interior and well, the exterior is pure nirvana.

This was one of the nicest Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed in! It was the perfect combination of luxurious and homey. It was spacious enough for our large group and the utilities/amenities were able to accommodate us all. It had so many great extra amenities - binoculars, speaker, pool towels, kitchen appliances, outdoor bathroom, grill, and more! The pool and outdoor area were beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing. The common areas, bathrooms, and rooms were clean and comfortable. The location was also amazing and close to restaurants/shops and many of the main areas for excursions - hot springs, La Fortuna Waterfall, Arenal Volcano, etc. Teresita was an incredible host - she was responsive, communicative, and flexible. She met us for check-in and shared the story behind the home, which made the experience extra special. Highly recommend staying here!

Great place with beautiful history , quiet while still very close to everything

Absolutely fantastic!  Perfect location, comfy beds, safe, beautiful grounds, decor absolutely everything was fantastic!

The experience was great. The property is very large, very clean, and there are many rooms. It's the best option at this price. I will choose this place again next time I come to Costa Rica.

体验非常好，庄园很大，卫生很干净，房间也很多，是这个价格里最好的选择，下次来哥斯达黎加还会继续选择这个

Teresita is a kind and lovely host. Her property is spectacular!

We had a great overall stay at this property. The home looked exactly as pictured, and the grounds were beautiful—honestly one of the highlights of the experience. The house itself was comfortable, well-equipped, and worked very well for our larger group. The host was also very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The home was generally clean, though we did encounter a noticeable issue with ants in one of the bedrooms that required attention during our stay. My main concern was the number of people coming onto the property. There was someone there every day (groundskeeper, pool service, housekeeping, etc.), and on several occasions they arrived without prior notice. This made me uncomfortable, especially since I had younger adult children with me and didn’t feel at ease leaving them at the house alone. Overall, it’s a beautiful and well-appointed property, but I would recommend clearer communication around scheduled visits and advance notice for anyone coming onto the propert

My family of 6 just LOVED Teresita's home and would definitely recommend and would return.  We talked about this rental easily being one of our top 3 all-time favorites out of all our travels!  The photos don't do justice to the gorgeous backyard landscaping.  It's all the little things inside that you'll notice and appreciate....very well stocked kitchen (spices, cold filtered water chilled in fridge, etc), coasters placed strategically around,  laundry facilities we could use ourselves, abundance of towels inside and out.  Also  Teresita was most responsive and helpful in the warmest way, never intrusive, just perfectly available.  We never used our cars since we could walk to town, literally outside our front gate located maybe 50 yards from front door.  The grounds are surrounded by a high cement wall with secured gates, we never felt unsafe.

Beautiful home with central Location,  all of town’s conveniences within easy walking distance while also providing privacy and a sense on space.

Beautiful house and yard! Very close to downtown but very peaceful and quiet inside the home. We enjoyed our stay and Teresita and her brother are great hosts!

We loved our stay at Teresita’s family home. It was all that was described and more. Beautiful finishes and attention to detail. Kitchen was well stocked and had many extras. I can’t say enough about the beauty of the house and surroundings. There was a pair of Scarlet Macaws that visited every day and a hummingbird nest next to the pool. The pool and outdoor space were great. We were a group of 5 and everyone had plenty of space. Jose let us leave our bags at the house since we arrived before check in time.  They also arranged for us to have massages by the pool. Very convenient walk to town. Excellent experience overall.

This is my favorite air b&b I have ever stayed in!  The property was beautiful and so well taken care of!  Every detail was well thought out. Tons of room. Each room had storage and beautiful baths. It’s so close to town and walkable but private and safe. Pool is gorgeous. We loved our stay. Our only regret is not staying longer. The host was super friendly and helpful.

Our stay in this home in La Fortuna was great. The house itself is luxurious, but the land, vegetation and wildlife around us delighted us! Teresita also made us feel welcome! I would definitely go back.

Notre séjour dans cette demeure de La Fortuna était formidable. La maison en elle même est luxueuse, mais le terrain, la végétation et la faune présente aux alentours nous a réjouis! Teresita nous a également fait sentir les bienvenues! Je retournerait sans le moindre doute.

Our whole group absolutely loved staying here! The home is well stocked, spacious, and comfortable. Perfect for our group and ideal for eight friends traveling together. Everything felt modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed, which made it easy to relax and feel at home. . The location couldn’t have been better. Being right in the heart of La Fortuna meant we were just minutes from great restaurants, shops, and anything we needed, often within walking distance. At the same time, the property still felt like a peaceful private oasis. The tropical gardens are beautiful, Teresita took the time to tell us all about the local plants and wildlife that call the yard home. The traditional Costa Rican breakfast was the perfect way to start our stay in La Fortuna. Teresita arranged to have the fridge stocked and facilitated reservations at her family restaurant where we enjoyed a delicious meal. The property is the perfect base for exploring La Fortuna, and we would happily stay here again.

This might be the nicest place Ive ever stayed in. don't hesitate to book this one!

This is one of the best airbnbs I have ever stayed in! Absolutely gorgeous home with literally everything you could possibly need. Teresita was a fantastic host and we were blown away by her hospitality. Our only regret was not staying longer! We will be back 💕

Casa Palma Verde looks even better than the photos. Very clean, nicely decorated and well landscaped. We appreciated being welcomed by Veronica as well as the fact that she went out of the way to accommodate eight of us at their family restaurant. Truly a great place to stay in La Fortuna.

The villa is absolutely gorgeous and tasteful. The kitchen is large and completely equipped. The pool and grounds are prefect. The washer and dryer were easy to access and to use.

When the power went out in a big rainstorm, Teresita was on site herself within minutes to help us with the main gate. A perfect hostess!

Our family of six had a great stay at this attractive, well-appointed, modern home.  We loved the beautiful, private gardens and proximity to town, and enjoyed meeting one of the hosts upon check in.  There was a generous supply of face clothes and towels (which we appreciated), and plenty of bathrooms for a big group.  It’s in a great location - right in town, but on a 10 acre farm so it feels serene and private.  We also had a great dinner at Don Rufino, the family’s restaurant in town!  We were traveling with elderly parents and appreciated the hosts’ recommendations for activities they could manage. Note:  two of the five bedrooms are accessed from outside, so you need to be mindful of locking and unlocking those doors when you’re in the other part of the house.  Not a big deal and it worked fine for our group, but sharing in case it doesn’t work for your set up.  Wish we’d had more time and better weather so we could have enjoyed the pool too!  Next time!  Thanks again.

We loved our stay at La Palma Verde. Each day we saw different birds like hummingbirds and toucans from the pool area. The place felt secure and welcoming, and it was very easy to walk into town to go to a local restaurant or buy groceries. We would definitely recommend to other travelers especially those with families.

We stayed for three nights and had an absolutely fantastic stay at Teresita's place. From the moment we arrived we felt at home, Teresita came to greet us and give us a thorough tour of the house. The pictures we saw gave us a hint at what to expect, but seeing everything in person was really incredible. The location is perfect, situated right next to the town, but feeling incredibly private and exclusive. I would not hesitate to re-book if returning or recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in La Fortuna. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool, grill, and outdoor areas. The kitchen was fantastic and fully stocked, we made several meals. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. We even booked massages at the house which were very relaxing. It was a dream coming home to our own little oasis after exploring the area every day.

The house was perfect! So beautiful and had everything we needed. The location was great and walking distance to the main town. Teresita was very responsive and helpful with local recommendations. Highly recommend staying here and hope to return !

Teresita’s home is beautiful in the hospitality was the best I’ve ever had. We did arrange to have them make us breakfast and they also left a birthday cake and banner for my son’s birthday. Who is unbelievable experience!

Beautiful, spacious and clean home. Perfect for groups or families. We loved our stay here and would recommend to anyone. Great location that is peaceful and private but still easy access to town and walkable.

Thank you, Vedant — I’m glad you enjoyed our house and its location. It would be a pleasure to host you again whenever you return to La Fortuna.

Perfection!  The nicest Airbnb I have ever stayed at. Couldn’t ask for more.  Private yet so close to everything. 5 ⭐️ and 100% recommend.  Each host was amazing.

The house was gorgeous and the property was beautiful as well. We loved the location and the ability to just walk (very short walk) into town. Veronica was so nice and referred us to several activities and restaurants including their family restaurant, Don Rufino which was our best meal while staying in La Fortuna. If / when we go back to La Fortuna we would absolutely love to stay there again.

The house is very beautiful and well kept. The photos do not do it justice! We enjoyed watching the parrots and toucans in the yard in the morning. The beds and pillows were equal to a five star hotel.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Akiko. I’m glad our house exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed the morning visits from the parrots and toucans. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I hope to welcome you back soon!

We loved our stay at the villa.  Very functional and clean space.  Beautiful gardens with a pool.  We saw a few birds (toucans, macaws). All the amenities we needed in kitchen and bathroom.   Convenient and quiet location with easy access to many restaurants (as mentioned in other reviews, there is a gate that gives you easy access to the main street).  The host also helped to organize our airport transfer.  Overall we would highly recommend this AirBnB

We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb in La Fortuna! The home was absolutely beautiful, very clean, and incredibly spacious—perfect for our family. It felt comfortable and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The location was ideal, close to all the important attractions and conveniences, which made getting around La Fortuna so easy. The host was also extremely responsive and helpful throughout our stay, which we truly appreciated. Our family had a wonderful time here, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. We would highly recommend booking this home for your trip to La Fortuna and would absolutely stay here again!

Thank you, Maheen — I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay at our house and found everything comfortable and convenient. You’re welcome back anytime; it would be a pleasure to host you again on your next trip to La Fortuna.

The wildlife in the backyard was just as plentiful as a walk through a park. Monkeys, toucans, and so many other birds! The house was perfectly located in town; very private and yet so close to everything. Highly recommend!

10 out of 10 ! Highly Recommend We were two families traveling together (4 adults and 4 children) and Casa Palma Verde Arenal exceeded every expectation. The property is truly unique set on a beautiful farm, with a private entrance from the road and even a private path into town. The home is BEAUTIFULLY decorated, impeccably maintained, and thoughtfully stocked. Every room had comfortable beds, quality sheets and towels, and its own private pad w/ seating. Honestly, there wasn’t a single thing we needed that wasn’t already provided. What really made our stay unforgettable was the 5-star service from Teresita and her team. She went above and beyond in every way from the warm welcome to helping us with anything we needed throughout our stay. We felt completely spoiled from start to finish. Insider tips: – Fresh bakery: 2-minute walk – Grocery store: 5-minute walk or 2-minute drive – Amazing steak restaurant, Don Rufino: 5-minute walk We will absolutely be back!

Wonderful. One of the best airbnbs I’ve stayed at.

Teresita’s house is great.  It is hard to describe, it is a beautiful house on a farm that is in town.  It is very unique.  The layout suited us really well.  We loved our stay, do not hesitate to stay here.

Our family would give our stay at Casa Palma Verde Arenal 10 🌟 if we could - gorgeous home and landscaping, clean, had everything we needed, located within walking distance to downtown La Fortuna, safe, and overall one of the best AirBNB experiences we have had!  Teresita was lovely, communicated quickly and was so very helpful - went above and beyond to make our stay perfect!  Teresita, her sister Veronica, and 5 more siblings grew up in this house and recently renovated it.  It's stunning and you can really tell they love their home, their culture and their family!  What a great way to share the Costa Rican way of life with us - Pura Vida!

Teresita's place is beautiful and peaceful. We're seven in the group and we all loved the place. very clean and beautiful bedrooms, bathrooms, pool and surroundings. I would recommend it for family or friends group gatherings.

Excellent place and host. 10/10 will stay again and recommended. Lots to do, it’s an awesome deal.

Teresita was very welcoming and the place was great! The home had everything we needed to feel comfortable, and she was very thoughtful about putting the space together. Thanks again!

Thank you, Adam, for your kind words and for choosing our house for your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I look forward to welcoming you back anytime you’re in La Fortuna!

We had a wonderful stay! The host was very friendly, responsive, and extremely helpful, making everything smooth and stress-free. The place itself is spacious, very private, and equipped with everything you might need for a comfortable visit. On top of that, the location is excellent—just a short walk from restaurants and the city center, which made exploring super easy. Highly recommend this spot for anyone visiting the area!

If I could give this 500 stars I would. My family and I had an amazing time staying here in la fortuna. If or when we come back to visit there, we will book our travel dates specifically around this homes availability. It was beautiful, relaxing, and so close to everything. Teresita was so helpful and kind! If you are not staying here during your time in la fortuna then have made a mistake.

Her house is perfect for a big family and right in the middle of town

This home was absolutely beautiful—spotlessly clean, thoughtfully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. The property itself is stunning, offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere throughout our stay. The host was exceptional—friendly, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The location was ideal, close to everything we needed while still feeling private and serene. The amenities were top-notch and made our stay even more enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

Spectacular find in the heart of La Fortuna. This might be one of the nicest Airbnb set ups we have experienced. Teresita was extremely easy to communicate with, and was amazing at helping us when needed. The property is set just off of the main part of town, but you are completely surrounded by beautiful landscaping in your own world. They thought of everything for the house. We were 7 people across 3 generations, and there was plenty of space for us. We never felt on top of each other.

Your kind words mean so much to us! Thank you for choosing our home for your visit—it was a pleasure hosting you. Teresita.

It's hard to put into words what a special property this is. It's an incredibly beautiful home, with a gorgeous outdoor living area, pristine pool, beautiful furnishings inside, too. Bedding is on par with Ritz-Carlton. So many kind touches throughout the home. She really thinks of everything ahead of time. Chilled, filtered water carafes waiting for our arrival, beautiful soaps and luscious towels. If anything, it's much more deluxe than the photos even show. The front door alone was an absolute showstopper. You'll never find a more responsive, kind and helpful host than Teresita. Highly recommend!

Diane, your words truly touch my heart. Thank you so much for your incredibly kind review and for sharing your experience. It was an absolute joy to host you and your family, and knowing that you felt so cared for means the world to me. I would be delighted to welcome you back to Costa Rica anytime, and it would be an honor to host your friend and her family as well. Wishing you all the best and hoping our paths cross again in the future!

Great family stay.   Everything as described

The house was perfection! The decor was stunning. The beds were comfy. The pool was so perfect for time spent in between adventures. It was a quick walk to the center of town. The access gate to the street was so handy. The landscaping is stunning. We loved sitting outside listening to the sounds of the jungle. Frogs and lizards hanging out with us. It really was a wonderful stay!

Our family of 6 stayed at Teresita’s beautiful home and it was the perfect choice for us! The house was so clean, safe and beautiful, the pool was refreshing and she was the perfect host! Always responded quickly and made us feel welcome and special. A beautiful birthday dinner was planned and her sister even surprised us with a gorgeous floral arrangement! My family would definitely recommend staying at Casa Palma Verde!

Beautiful accommodation with everything you need and more! Friendly and helpful host. A luxury. Thank you very much

Precioso alojamiento con todo lo necesario y más! Anfitriona amable y atenta. Un lujo. Muchísimas gracias

Five stars is not enough for Teresita and her beautiful home and property in La Fortuna! Everything exceeded our expectations, which were very high. Teresita was the ultimate host! She was quickly responsive to every message I sent her before we arrived, and there were many. Her directions were perfect. When we arrived, she welcomed us, gave us a tour and thorough instructions for everything, and made us feel very at home in the incredible house. She had grocery shopped for us ahead of time and showed us the wonderful food that she had picked out for us. Her home had everything that my 8 adult family members could have wanted and then some.  We were so comfortable there and loved the beautiful surroundings.  It was the perfect place to beginning our day every morning with breakfast before activities and then to end each day with dinner, a swim, and games around the large outside table. Teresita made my family's first trip to Costa Rica an incredible one. We can't wait to go go back!

The details of the house are incredible, every element was very useful to spend a peaceful time. I wouldn't hesitate to come back. By far the best Airbnb I've ever been to.

Increíbles los detalles con los que cuenta la casa, cada elemento que había fue muy útil para pasar plácidamente. No dudaría en volver. Por mucho el mejor Airbnb en el que he estado.

Gracias Alejandro por tu reseña tan amable. Nos alegra saber que los detalles de nuestra casa contribuyeron a que tú y tu grupo disfruten de una estancia placentera. Será un placer recibirlos de nuevo cuando decidan regresar.

We had a wonderful stay at Teresita’s family home. It was ideal for two families, located in a super convenient location in La Fortuna. We were able to walk to all the restaurants we wanted to try, and especially enjoyed the bakery around the corner. The house itself felt newly renovated and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The washer and dryer were incredibly useful after a day of being outdoors. We also appreciated Teresita’s great communication and helpfulness whenever we contacted her.  If we ever go back to La Fortuna we would love to stay there again.

This is one of the absolute best houses we’ve ever rented. The property is beautiful and surrounded with lush greenery that makes it feel very private. The interior of the home is newly renovated, very clean, and full of any and all amenities we could need. Teresita was quickly responsive and very helpful throughout our trip. We traveled with 2 families including 5 kids ages 6-12, and would definitely stay here again. It is easily walkable to restaurants and shops (there is a private walkway that cuts down on the walking time you’d see if you look on google maps). If you’re traveling to La Fortuna, this is definitely the house to rent!

Kristi, thank you so much for your kind words, I highly appreciate it!

Teresita was wonderful and the house was perfect for our needs

We cannot say enough good things about this place. If it's available for your stay in La Fortuna you should BOOK IT. The place was clean and well maintained. Everything was thoughtfully done. She provides filtered water, laundry, pool towels... literally everything. The space was completely perfect for our group and we would book it again in a heartbeat. Teresita and her sisters were also a delight and came over and cooked breakfast for us one morning. It was delicious and they were so kind.

You have to stay here. Teresita’s and her home are absolutely top-notch. The home is on a large private parcel of land, a portion of which looks farmed. The home itself is incredible. It is practically new. The bedrooms and common areas all have their own AC systems. The outdoor dining and poolside lounge area are huge and comfortable. Our large family group ate there the entire time we stayed. Our teenagers loved the pool. The property is well-maintained. The gardener/pool man came by every morning and kept everything looking and working great. There are so many native plants and trees on the property. We saw a pair of macaws, green parrots, and humming birds every day. Teresita is so friendly and accommodating. She met us on check-in and gave us a walk through of the property. We asked her to stock us up with drinks, fruit, and fresh pastries before we got there. She recommended that we get fresh bread in the morning from Ramirez bakery. The home is in walking distance of everything.

Thank you so much for your kind comment! Teresita

We loved the house. Teresita is a very friendly person. Communication with her was excellent. It exceeded our expectations, the house is very beautiful, very comfortable, we felt very comfortable, each room with very beautiful details. The place feels very safe and the surroundings of the house are beautiful. We could see some limpets from the patio. Thanks for making our stay so pleasant. We would definitely come back. ♥️

Nos encantó la casa. Teresita es una persona muy amable. La comunicación con ella fue excelente. Superó nuestras expectativas, la casa es muy hermosa, muy cómoda, nos sentimos muy a gusto, cada habitación con detalles muy hermosos. El lugar se siente muy seguro y los alrededores de la casa son preciosos. Pudimos observar unas Lapas desde el patio. Gracias por hacer de nuestra estadía un lugar tan agradable. Definitivamente volveríamos. ♥️

Stunning home in beautiful gardens. Can’t speak highly enough, a fabulous place for our family celebrations. Felt like a 5 star hotel, exquisite

Thank you Janice, for your kind words and I am very happy to know that you and your family had an amazing time at Palma Verde!

From the beginning to the end of the stay, Teresita was a great host, which made our family stay very enjoyable. The house itself is actually better than the photos. Everything was immaculate and the home has a pride of ownership that is not found in most short term rentals. We had a great time with our family during this stay. Whether it was taking advantage of all activities the La Fortuna area has to offer or just enjoying the pool and walking to the local bakery or empanada shop, we all had a great time. We would definitely stay here again when we are back in the area!

Wow! This beautiful home looks even better in person than in pictures! It is a gorgeous property close to everything we wanted to do in La Fortuna. Teresita and her sisters were so friendly and helpful and made us two delicious breakfasts and also organized massages at the home for us. We all agreed that the outdoor surroundings provided us with the perfect environment for a relaxing massage. The bedrooms were comfortable with plenty of bathrooms for our group of 9 adults and two babies. The pool was refreshing and the large back patio was so comfortable and beautiful. We would definitely stay here again! A+++

Teresita was so inviting and her place is immaculate!!  She has thought of everything in her home!  As soon as we walked out the back door during checkin we saw the scarlet macaws that live right in the back yard!  It doesn't get much better than that! The location is perfect, feels like we are in the middle of nowhere but just a little walk into town and everything is right there!  It was perfect for us since we didn't rent a car for our trip to Costa Rica.  We had coffee every morning around the pool, it was really nice to have the laundry facilities available to use, and we felt safe and sound in her home.  Thanks so much for the history of the home Teresita and for letting us stay for our trip to La Fortuna!  We will be back for sure!

Deborah, your words have touched my heart. Thank you very much for them. It brings me great satisfaction that the house provided you with such a pleasant stay. It fills me with joy to know that. Thank you so much for your wonderful and kind words. Teresita

We absolutely loved our stay here! My party of 8 found the house to be extremely comfortable and clean. The layout of the house is not only unique but very thoughtful and the property itself is so beautiful with all of the flowers and birds surrounding it. We saw hummingbirds, 2 macaws and so many other birds. It’s amazing how it feels like a private oasis but so walkable to nearby shops and restaurants. Cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you Teresita for an unforgettable experience.

Thank you so much for your kind words and team Palma Verde is very happy to know you and your family had a great time. Teresita.

I can’t say enough good about Teresita and her home, it was amazing! The home is immaculate and so comfortable. The surroundings are jaw dropping and pristine. At check in, a sloth walked across the yard!! There is so much to do in La Fortuna and Teresita is extremely responsive and a wonderful host. We are already planning our next trip back!

I can't say enough about how perfect this place is! The house is tucked away in a tropical paradise while also being within a 5-10 minute walk from nearly all the restaurants and cafes in town. The pool and outdoor space was definitely the highlight of our trip - always clean and a delightful way to spend an afternoon relaxing and watching the birds and lizards roam around. The house itself is immaculate and worked great for our group of friends as everyone had their own sleeping space. Teresita was very responsive to all our needs and questions from the second we arrived to when we checked out. This place is a hidden gem and we will definitely stay again!

Rachel, thank you so much for your appreciation to Palma Verde. It’s a big award to know that you and your friends enjoy our place

10/10 would recommend to friends or family!

¡Muchas gracias por tu recomendación, Briceyda! Me alegra saber que tú y tu grupo disfrutaron de nuestra casa.

This place was amazing and beautiful as well as spacious . It had everything we could possibly need !!!! The host was very responsive with everything . Can’t wait to come again

Thank you for your kind words! See you next time!

Great place to stay. Teresita was always available to help in any way. The property was in a secluded area from the city and very quiet. But it was still very easy to find. There is also a bridge and a fenced off area with a lock and key that proves very easy walking access to downtown La Fortuna with very many restaurants within walking distance. Everything in the property worked just as intended.

If you are staying in La Fortuna, this is the house to stay in.  The place was emaculate! Everything was perfect.  Teresita met us at the house, showed us everything we needed know and told us her family history with the house.  The layout is incredible and the pictures don't really do the place justice.  100% recommend staying here!  They also have a family restaurant in town that you can walk to that was dynamite as well!

Thank you Jesse for your kind words! Teresita.

Wonderful house tucked away from the main part of town but still easily walkable. It still felt very private. Lots of space for our nine people. Great garden for kids to play in. Teresita was amazing and welcoming - very friendly and responsive. Provided great local recommendations as well! A really fabulous place!

If you are visiting La Fortuna (and you should), you should book this space if it's available. Teresita cares deeply about the history of her family property, and it shows. This is a unique listing we were grateful to have visited. As with most accomodations in Costa Rica, you will have exposure to nature. Small bugs and insects are common anywhere you stay. If. that bothers you or your party, it's probably best to visit a different destination as these will be present at all-inclusive type properties as well. Having some privacy and some distance from the center of town was nice. We had two babies and small child in our group and didn't feel unsafe or worried. If you and your family are looking for a stay in La Fortuna, strongly consider this property!

Our group absolutely loved our time at Teresita's house.  It's private but walking distance to the shops and restaurants in La Fortuna.  The house itself is tastefully decorated, clean and extremely comfortable for large groups.  We would definitely stay again!!

This place is absolutely stunning, very clean and spacious.  The property were beautifully landscaped and the pair of macaws was a bonus.  Teresita was very gracious and responsive.  We would definitely stay here again.  The Sarros

Coming from a realtor who has traveled the world and been to Costa Rica before - this is easily the nicest home in all of La Fortuna, hands down. I can't believe its on Airbnb - it is one of the most luxurious and well maintained homes I've ever been in. Teresita even has a fresh flower centerpiece on the outdoor dining table. This extensive 5 bedroom 3 bedroom (plus an additional bathroom outside!) is set up like a 3 bedroom house with double master suites w/en suite bathrooms annex. It was perfect for our group which consisted of 2 couples and 3 single people - everyone slept like babies in their own rooms. It has the convenience of a pool, huge laundry machine, and parking. The quality of furnishings, dish/glass ware, and decorations is beyond luxurious, so we made sure to be very careful and take extra good care of each treasure that we were given. And lastly, there are 2 pairs of macaws in the trees that just made our mornings unforgettable. This home is very literally, paradise.

Thank you, Allison. It was a pleasure hosting you and your group, and we're glad our house provided the perfect setting for your stay. We look forward to welcoming you all back again soon.

The property and house were absolutely beautiful! Private yet close to town and all that it offered. Teresita, welcomed us upon arrival and showed us around the property and made sure to let us know of all the amenities. Our party consisted of 8 adults and a baby. We were able to sleep comfortably with 5 bedrooms and four bathrooms made getting ready a breeze. A daily dip in the pool made this a perfect stay! I highly recommend this property for anyone who wants the perfect stay in LaFortuna!

Our experience at Teresita’s villa was really lovely!  In my opinion, the property photos didn’t quite do it justice. Our entire party of 8 people had a great time and spoke highly of the experience. Teresita helped us at check in and continued to provide support as needed. The bedrooms, kitchen, pool/patio were all well kept and the entire house was well stocked. Further, the actual property is stunning and had awesome wildlife sighting opportunities. Highly recommend this property for a large group staying near Arenal.

This is a beautiful house, and even though it is very modern and newly refurbished, it retains some of the historic character of the family farm house that it was 40+ years ago. The setting is a rare combination of private and walkable to everything in downtown Fortuna. It is closer to the town than any of the nicer hotels. It is a 5 or 10 minute drive to any of the things you might want to do in the area (at most, 15 or 20 to the National Park and Mistico Park). The pool and garden area are gorgeous--a pair of scarlet macaws was nesting in the yard and we saw many tropical birds and a sloth in the trees. We had 6 people in our group and there was a whole bedroom/bathroom that we didn't use. It would be great for a family vacation. I would absolutely stay here again--anything else would feel like a downgrade.
