The house is situated on a beautiful property with a view of the lake through the trees. It is quiet, peaceful and very private. It is a bit outdated but we didn’t really mind that - other guests may prefer something more modern. The rooms are large and it’s more than enough space for a family of 6. The kitchen has everything you need ( crockery, cutlery, pots etc) Pia was very helpful and responsive to any questions or requests. If you need somewhere quiet to get away from the crowds, it’s the place for you!

Beautiful villa right on Lake Arenal, clean and exactly as described in the listing. The host was quick to answer any questions. The place dates back to the 90s but everything works fine, and it's genuinely spacious. The pool was great. We saw tons of birds and wildlife right from the property. Would definitely come back with the family!

Beautiful home in a great location! The view and the sky at sunset are stunning! All Pia's recommendations were spot on. Pia's home was perfect for our family of 6. We would definitely stay here again!

The house was beautiful, private, and as described. Pia was communicative from the get-go. I can't stress how beautiful the home was inside and out.

Casa Gisela has a very nice kitchen for cooking, a comfortable living room, a good laundry room, but the highlight of this house is the covered patio with a view of the lake. We loved birdwatching while having our morning coffee!

We were super happy with the house. I felt right at home. It was very comfortable, with large rooms, lots of green areas, an incredible view of the lake, and the sunsets are out of this world. There is so much to do in the area. We will definitely be back.... Thank you so much.
