3BR villa in Venecia

Casa Hiedra Modern Home with Pool in Dairy Farm - Houses for Rent in Venecia, Provincia de Alajuela, Costa Rica

Of all the villas we have rented, José's is the best maintained. Tastefully decorated, prepared with extreme care, in a quiet and bucolic environment, superbly equipped (kitchen, ultra-comfortable bedding, Bose sound system). The open layout is fun and gives José's villa an incredible and friendly character. Not to mention the friendliness of Margarita, who welcomed us! Don't miss the Guayabo restaurant, 10 minutes away, with a young chef who has gained experience at Michelin-starred restaurants in Europe and the United States (treat yourself and order the tasting menu, which is fabulous), and you'll have the recipe for a perfect stay. Thank you so much, Margarita and José!

De toutes les villas que nous avons louées, celle de José est la mieux entretenue. Décorée avec goût, préparée avec un soin extrême, dans un environnement calme et bucolique, équipée au top (cuisine, literie ultra confortable, système son Bose). La configuration ouverte est amusante et donne à la villa de José un cachet incroyable et convivial. Sans oublier la sympathie de Margarita qui nous a accueilli ! Ne manquez surtout pas le restaurant Guayabo à 10 minutes avec un jeune chef qui a fait ses armes chez des étoilés en Europe et aux États-Unis (faites-vous plaisir et prenez le menu dégustation, fabuleux), et vous aurez la recette d’un séjour parfait. Mille mercis Margarita et José !

We are truly flattered by your kind comments. Thank you so much for such a beautiful review, it means a great deal to us. It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and we sincerely appreciate your thoughtful words. We hope to welcome you back again in the future!

Out of the four houses that we booked via Airbnb to travel around Costa Rica, this was by far the best -  my family and I loved it! Everything had been thought of and provided - even down to whether one preferred soft or firm pillows - both were provided. My only regret was that we did not book a longer stay. Jose and his mother  Margarita were just perfect. Pura vida ♥

We had the best stay at Jose’s place. The house was just as beautiful as the photos and the pool was amazing. Perfect spot for families. The setting is super private and quiet with a dairy close by. His mom was there to greet us and show us around and was able to pop over and help with any questions we had, and also just incredibly sweet and kind. She also introduced me to the neighbor dogs who came with me on my morning walks and let me pet their baby cows. Jose’s communication was top notch, his guidebook had every activity we were looking for and every question we had was answered promptly. The town was small and sweet and off the beaten path so we felt like we were getting a true Costa Rica experience. The highlight for my kids was the pool, the highlights for the adults was the quiet solitude.

The place is beautiful. Communication with the host was amazing. I had the opportunity to photograph limpets... it's worth every dollar he charges. It's peace in its fullest sense. So much so that I didn't realize until very late that they don't have TVs.

La estancia es preciosa. La comunicación con el anfitrión increíble. Tuve la oportunidad de fotografiar lapas...vale cada dólar qué cobra. Es paz en todo su concepto. Tanto así que hasta muy tarde me di cuenta que no tienen televisores.

The accommodation is really very beautiful, the outside is soothing with a very nice pool and a very nice environment. The bedrooms are very comfortable, each with a beautiful bathroom. I highly recommend this listing Thank you for everything

Le logement est vraiment très beau, l’extérieur est apaisant avec une très belle piscine et un très bel environnement. Les chambres sont très confortables avec chacune une très belle salle de bain. Je recommande vivement ce logement Merci pour tout

Doña Margarita welcomed us in a very friendly and helpful manner. He gave us an excellent recommendation to buy cheese and custard (the ice cream is very good) at Los Corteza. The place is the same as in the photos: spacious, clean, and very quiet. We had a pleasant weekend at the pool and enjoying the surroundings.

Doña Margarita nos recibió de manera muy amable y atenta. Nos dio una excelente recomendación para comprar queso y natilla ( los helados son muy buenos) en Los Corteza. El lugar es igual al de las fotos, espacioso, limpio y muy tranquilo. Pasamos un fin de semana ameno en la piscina y disfrutando de los alredores.

Excellent spot! We loved the quiet, private space & the pool (plenty warm!). Our hosts were proactive & great at explaining everything we needed. Good spot to check out hikes & also get up to the thermal baths. Well appointed kitchen, lovely bathrooms, comfy beds. A/C worked great & fun to read in the open space while it rains! Highly recommended!

Wonderful property with exceptional, very accommodating hosts. Venecia is a lovely community within driving distance to several nice attractions. The house was very comfortable, great views and had a beautiful pool. We would definitely stay here again in the future!!

Beautiful home looks just like photos host was very friendly and helpful

We thought the accommodation was fantastic. Everything has been thought of. The beds are wonderfully comfortable, the view is beautiful, and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. For those who want to enjoy peace and nature, this is the perfect place. We'd love to come back.

We vonden de accommodatie fantastisch. Er is werkelijk aan alles gedacht. De bedden zijn heerlijk comfortabel, het uitzicht is prachtig en de keuken is volledig uitgerust met alles wat je nodig hebt. Voor wie wil genieten van rust en natuur is dit de perfecte plek. We zouden hier graag nog eens terugkomen.

Our stay at this beautiful Airbnb in was unforgettable. Surrounded by lush tropical scenery, the home felt like a private luxury retreat. The pool was our favorite spot—perfect for morning swims, relaxing afternoons, and taking in the peaceful surroundings. We loved waking up to the sounds of nature and enjoying the quiet setting. A highlight of our stay was having Chef Jerry prepare an incredible Costa Rican dinner right in the home. Hosts Jose and Margarita were amazing—friendly, attentive, and truly dedicated to making our stay special. From the incredible food to the beautiful design and serene atmosphere, everything exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely stay here again!

Nice place, as described, very communicative host. They recommended supermarket and places to dine at.

Very accommodating as we have some last minute change. Very nice person and easy communication

We had a wonderful time at this property. Surroundings are very serene and tranquil, with immersive nature all around. There’s another house in front of the airbnb but it’s nice that you still feel enough privacy. Design and details are very pleasant. Nice firm mattresses. Stocked kitchen. Would recommend.

Amazing place! Jose made sure we had everything we needed and communicated before and during the trip. Will definitely be back!

Great place to stay! Jose was a great host and there when needed.

José and Margarita are kind and amazing people. Jose started checking in with us before we even arrived, he’s really proactive and will answer any questions you have. Margarita is a ray of sunshine, and the kindest person and soul. She made us feel like we were at home. The Airbnb was magnificent! Just as beautiful or BETTER than the pictures. You feel so much peace and relaxation here. We enjoyed the kitchen so much because they had all the tools (blender, grater, pots, pans etc) to make our meals everyday and that was a big plus for my family because cooking brings us together. The rooms were clean and comfortable and each had its own restroom! The pool was amazing, clean and crystal clear and to be able to swim and listen to the sounds of nature and look at the blue sky and green trees all around us was a dream. The Bose sound system was nice too to enjoy music. Overall an amazing experience and we were so sad to leave because we enjoyed our time so much, we hope to return one day

My family’s life is upside down right now - cancer and more. The tranquility of this home and the surroundings was healing to the soul. We got in later than expected and Jose was so helpful and stayed on the phone with us to find the place. When I woke up in the morning I was moved to tears by the beauty of the place.

This family-run property, with its open-plan living area in the center, is something truly special and a fantastic place to relax and use as a base for excursions. But you can also observe plenty of animals directly on site. The house and the amenities leave nothing to be desired; we felt very comfortable, and the host, José, and his mother, who were on site, were warm and always available whenever we needed help. I highly recommend this house!

Die familiär geführte Unterkunft ist mit dem offenen Wohnbereich in der Mitte etwas ganz besonderes und ein fantastischer Ort um zu entspannen und von dort aus Ausflüge zu machen. Aber auch direkt vor Ort kann man jede Menge Tiere beobachten. Das Haus und die Ausstattung lassen keinen Wunsch offen, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, und der Gastgeber José sowie seine Mutter vor Ort waren herzlich und stets zur Stelle, wenn wir Hilfe brauchten. Das Haus kann ich wirklich sehr empfehlen!

Jose’s place is really nice! It is a modern house in a serene farmland setting. It is easy to get to and is conveniently located. It is about an hour from La Fortuna. There are lots of outdoor activities and sightseeing places (spectacular waterfalls) within 30 minutes of the house.  The house is very comfortable and super clean!  Jose's family is welcoming and very attentive to guests. I highly recommend!

The stay at Casa Hiedra was incredible . We were surrounded by nature , it felt very private and was exactly the relaxing pace we needed . We seen so many beautiful birds ( toucans too) in the trees , the pool was a great temperature and clean , beds are comfy and our hosts were super kind and helpful . We wish we could have stayed longer . We will be back 100%!!☀️🌴

We had such a great stay here!!  So peaceful and relaxing! The home was beautiful and the outdoor spaces were lovely! We saw toucans, parrots, and many other tropical birds while sitting at the pool.  The accommodations were perfect, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. Jose and his family were readily available for any questions, and provided a great handbook of recommendations for places to eat and places to see.   Dory, the family dog, came for several visits and we fell in love with her!  We would definitely recommend staying here and hope we can come back soon!

We enjoy staying on this farm. The house and pool are gorgeous. The beds are very confortable, the installations feel luxurious and relaxing.  We had chef Jerry over for a beautiful meal. His food is delicious and he will bring a relaxing experience to your stay, he is a great human as much a professional gourmet chef, highly recommend.

Everything was just perfect! Beautiful house and surroundings and Jose and his family were extremely friendly and replied within minutes! Highly recommend!

Most relaxing property we have stayed at in Costa Rica. Great location Saw more birds than in Monteverde If want beautiful views and surroundings and off the crowded tourist areas this is the place. House is amazing and has everything you could need. Costa Rica at its best

Jose was incredibly kind and easy to communicate with. The entire experience was smooth. The home is exactly as described and pictured. It is surrounded by lush green farm land so it is very quiet. If you like something a bit off the beaten path but close enough to the main road,  this place is for you. Thank you for a lovely stay, Jose!

What a great find. As many others have mentioned, the home and surroundings are just as described; beautiful, clean, modern, and peaceful. Love the location as there are some great places to go that’s closer to the home in the opposite direction of Fortuna that you don’t want to miss. I.e. Blue Falls. All the while Fortuna area is still convenient. Tip: Get pizza at Dardos in Venecia (the little town close by). Fantastic!!! And people are extremely friendly. Even got out a huge TV to watch the Super Bowl! It’s a little place that you eat outside at. Unfortunately we didn’t get to experience the beautiful pool as that area was experiencing record lows that they haven’t had in 30 years. Will have to come back again so we can! We have stayed at many Airbnb‘s and beautiful homes, but I must say this one is right at the top. Jose it’s very friendly, has great suggestions, and is always very quick to respond with any questions you may have. He truly cares about your stay and it shows.

What a wonderful stay we had!! Jose recommended Chef Jerry for a special dinner during our stay. We ended up hiring him for three dinners and prepping two breakfasts. Simply amazing. The weather wasn’t great (record lows and lots of rain!!) but we were comfy and still able to do our excursions in La Fortuna. The birds, foliage, pineapple plantation and dark sky nights was all amazing. We would highly recommend this Airbnb to any travelers

We were three couples of friends, being Costa Ricans we were pleasantly struck by the detail that there was the flag of Costa Rica at the entrance. Doña Margarita, José's mother, was waiting for us to explain in detail all the details of the house and surroundings. She is a very nice person who was attentive to any questions during our stay. We enjoy the calm and silence of the place, with a huge variety of birds and livestock that come to enjoy their grazing areas. You can walk safely around the farm to appreciate the excellent management of pineapple cultivation and livestock. The pool is very nice, the rooms have AA and a very comfortable bed. The kitchen is very well equipped and one night Jerry (hired separately as an extra) came to cook us a delicious Gourmet dinner. Jerry is a fine dining chef who leaves everything impeccable when he leaves and the memory of a delicious dinner.

Fuimos tres parejas de amigos, siendo costarricenses nos llamó agradablemente la atención el detalle de que hubiera la bandera de Cista Rica a la entrada. Doña Margarita, la mamá de José, nos estaba esperando para explicarnos en detalle todo los detalles de la casa y alrededores. Ella es una persona muy agradable que estuvo atenta a cualquier consulta durante nuestra estadía. Disfrutamos de la calma y el silencio del lugar, con una variedad enorme de pájaros y el ganado que se acerca a disfrutar de sus áreas de repasto. Se puede caminar con seguridad por la finca para apreciar la misma donde se ve un excelente manejo del cultivo de la piña y el ganado. La piscina es muy agradable, las habitaciones tienen AA y una cama muy confortable. La cocina muy bien equipada y una noche llegó Jerry (contratado aparte como un adicional) a cocinarnos una deliciosa cena Gourmet. Jerry es un cocinero de alta cocina que deja todo impecable al salir y el recuerdo de una cena deliciosa.

Beautiful home on a farm! Margarita met us right away and gave clear instructions. Host was very responsive and helped when needed The views were unmatchable and the calm every morning and night is one I wish I could re-live Would love to visit again!

José home was beautiful. He was a great host and made sure our stay was amazing. I would highly recommend staying there if you’re ever in Costa Rica

This place is absolutely beautiful and we really enjoyed staying here! You‘ll find everything you need. Highly recommended!

A beautiful place in total contact with nature, and Doña Margarita who receives you in the place, excellent person, friendly and attentive, beautiful place!!!

Un lugar hermoso en total contacto con la naturaleza,  y doña Margarita quien te recibe en el lugar ,excelente persona cercana y atenta, hermosa lugar!!!

The house is spectacular, very well cared for and we received it impeccable, totally clean. The place is wonderful and perfect to disconnect from the noise of the city and enjoy a lot of tranquility. The host was always very attentive and responded promptly to all of our questions. A charming detail was being able to see the cows on the farm next door, which gives a special and very natural touch to the experience. Definitely a place we'd go back to!! And our little dogs were incredibly happy!

La casa está espectacular, muy bien cuidada y la recibimos impecable, totalmente limpia. El lugar es maravilloso y perfecto para desconectar del ruido de la ciudad y disfrutar de mucha tranquilidad. El anfitrión siempre fue muy atento y respondió rápidamente a todas nuestras consultas. Un detalle encantador fue poder ver las vaquitas en la finca del lado, lo que le da un toque especial y muy natural a la experiencia. Sin duda, un lugar al que volveríamos!! Y nuestras perritas fueron increíblemente felices!

I loved the decoration with pre-Columbian pieces and Costa Rican art

Me encantó la decoración con piezas precolombinas y del arte costarricense

The home was very nice and the pool was perfect for the kids.  Secluded and beautiful.  We also had Chef Jerry for Christmas Eve and Christmas and he was phenomenal

This place is beautiful and peaceful. Great place for a family stay. Everything was clean and the kitchen was well stocked with anything you might need for meals.

We spent 5 nights in José's lovely house. All communication and service went smoothly and we got a lot of help and many good tips from José's mother, who lives nearby and from José's own travel guide. We enjoyed our stay in the house and experiencing the local life in the area and would definitely recommend others to stay there.

Vi tilbragte 5 nætter i Josés skønne hus. Al kommunikation og service forløb uden problemer og vi fik meget hjælp og mange gode tips af Josés mor, der bor lige i nærheden og fra Josés egen rejseguide. Vi nød meget vores ophold i huset og at opleve lokallivet i området og vil helt sikkert anbefale andre at bo der.

Jose’s house was our first accommodation upon arriving in Costa Rica. We thank him for the quick and efficient communication and for many helpful tips. The arrival itself, finding the house, and entering the house all went perfectly, and we will remember our stay at this beautiful place forever. The house is beautifully designed, modern, and provides everything you need for a perfect holiday. During our stay, we were completely immersed in the surrounding nature and the beautiful garden with a pool, where we spent a lot of time. Our host was very helpful and always interested in whether we needed anything or if he could assist us further in any way. Thank you for the wonderful time spent in this house, and we hope to see you again!

Lovely place and definitely worth the money. Everything is clean and tidy. Margarita is charming and available at all times. I promise we'll be back. ❤️

מקום מקסים ובהחלט שווה את הכסף. הכל נקי ומסודר. מרגריטה מקסימה וזמינה בכל שעה. מבטיחה שנחזור ❤️

We had a great stay at this beautiful property. I would highly recommend it to anyone staying in the Venecia area. We did the very short drive to Bajo del Toro and then enjoyed the afternoon at the pool. Thanks for the excellent stay!

The house is perfect and the views are beautiful and it was very comforting knowing the hosts had family just down the road for help and assistance.

This stay was amazing.  every single thing about it . It is exactly as described. Jose mother greeted us with open arms . She is amazing and so is Jose. I would recommend this place to any one coming to costa rica . PURA VIDA!

José attended to us very quickly despite arriving early at the accommodation, the house is very spacious and has everything you need to have a great stay.

José nos atendió con mucha rapidez a pesar de llegar pronto al alojamiento, la casa es muy amplia y dispone de todo lo necesario para tener un gran estancia.

We loved our stay with José. Not very touristy, and yet beautiful walks. Beautiful pool with water heated to 33 degrees! A nice stopover during our stay after La Fortuna which is very touristy! I recommend it!

Nous avons adoré notre séjour chez José. Peu touristique, et pourtant de belles balades. Superbe piscine avec une eau chauffée à 33 degrés! Une étape sympathique de notre séjour après La Fortuna qui est très touristique ! Je recommande!

Jose was a great host. Was very responsive and checked on us several times to make sure all was good. Loved working with him.

Casa Hiedra is beautiful, the design of the house makes it a very spacious place to share with the family, I loved the pool area and common area. The kitchen is well equipped and the surrounding area is very quiet. José was very attentive in communication, which was useful to us. I recommend it a lot.

Casa Hiedra es precioso, el diseño de la casa lo hace un espacio muy amplio para compartir con la familia, me encantó el área de piscina y zona común. La cocina bien completa y el área alrededor es muy tranquila. José muy atento en la comunicación, lo cual nos fue de utilidad. La recomiendo mucho.

Out of all my travels, this had to be my favorite spot thus far. What a beautiful and serene place surrounded by nothing but nature, singing birds, lush vegetation and the Airbnb itself was even better than the photos-immaculate everything that we needed and more. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful. The people in the area were so welcoming and kind. I could go on and on. The Wi-Fi and The AC worked perfectly so did the hot water and the pool was 10 out of 10. I would definitely return.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! What a beautiful and spotless home. Every detail in the house was so well thought out and cared for. From the moment we arrived, Doña Margarita was absolutely lovely and showed us around the entire place. The cleanliness of the house truly impressed me, you can tell how much care they put into maintaining it and making sure guests feel welcome. You’ll hear lots of birds around the house, as it’s surrounded by nature, which we absolutely loved. The pool was amazing! Nice and warm the whole time, so we were able to enjoy it even late in the evening. Jose was always checking in to make sure we were doing well. Overall, our stay was perfect! If we ever come back to Costa Rica, this will definitely be our first choice.

Jose and his mom were amazing hosts. The location was ideal and very peaceful, and the house was even better than pictured. We had a great time. Will definitely recommend!

Our family of four had a memorable time at Jose’s home. The layout of the house made it easy for our family to maximize quality time in a peaceful environment. The beds were comfortable and the pool was always the perfect temperature. Jose and his family went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable. I would highly recommend booking this home. Also, a couple must try extras would be the in home chef experience with chef Jerry and a night of pizza at Guayabo’s gourmet restaurant. This area offers an incredibly unique experience I can’t imagine getting anywhere else!

We had a wonderful time at José's! The accommodation is surrounded by fantastic nature and offers an atmosphere where you can immediately relax. However, what made our stay very special was José's warm hospitality. With a lot of attention to detail, he made sure that we felt not only welcome, but almost at home. A place with soul – we can recommend this accommodation from the heart and wish José and his family all the best for the future. Pura Vida! 🌿✨ Sebastian & Gudrun 🌺

Wir hatten eine wundervolle Zeit bei José! Die Unterkunft liegt inmitten traumhafter Natur und bietet eine Atmosphäre, in der man sofort zur Ruhe kommt. Was unseren Aufenthalt jedoch ganz besonders gemacht hat, war die herzliche Gastfreundschaft von José. Mit viel Liebe zum Detail hat er dafür gesorgt, dass wir uns nicht nur willkommen, sondern fast wie zu Hause gefühlt haben. Ein Ort mit Seele – wir können diese Unterkunft von Herzen empfehlen und wünschen José und seiner Familie nur das Beste für die Zukunft. Pura Vida! 🌿✨ Sebastian & Gudrun 🌺

Jose’s place is beautiful, as soon as we arrived we felt in love with it. Mother Nature in Costa Rica is something that you can’t skip doing. Everything about the house we love it, comfortable and at the same time luxury which this doesn’t go hand and hand sometimes but in this house it did. Everything is clean and easy to manager. I will be back to the country and the house!

Very beautiful place and super kind hosts. Thank you!

I highly recommend coming and enjoying a beautiful, comfortable, pleasant, well-maintained property! Jose and his mother are pleasant hosts and assist in any matter. Thank you so much for a magical stay!! Wonderful pool, pleasant and fun view Full of beautiful birds Charming design with everything you need for your stay We used the raincoats and umbrellas I loved the aesthetic showers Very pleasant

ממליצה מאוד להגיע ולהנות מנכס מושקע יפיפה נוח נעים! חוזה ואימו מארחים נעימים ומסייעים בכל עניין. תודה רבה על שהות קסומה!! בריכה נפלאה, נוף נעים וכייפי מלא ציפורים יפיפיות עיצוב מקסים עם כל מה שצריך לשהות נעזרנו במעילי הגשם והמטריות אהבתי את המקלחות האסתטיות נעים ביותר

Casa Hiedra is a peaceful, private and beautiful place. We were delighted with the place, the sounds of nature and of course the facilities. It's a beautiful house, equipped with everything we needed. A perfect place if you are looking for peace and security

Casa Hiedra es un lugar pacífico, privado y hermoso. Quedamos encantados con el lugar, los sonidos de la naturaleza y por supuesto las instalaciones. Es una casa hermosa, equipada con todo lo que necesitamos. Un lugar perfecto si es que buscas paz y seguridad

Great house, everything was perfect! I would recommend it 100%

Superbe maison, tout était parfait! Je recommande à 100%

Great place to stay, clean, comfortable and a wonderful, friendly greeting from Margarita. We chose not to hire a car which meant there were limited facilities ( shop) within walking distance, not a problem for us but may be for some. We had a private chef, Jerry who came and cooked for us one evening. What a lovely man, who then made himself available to us for a whole day tour of some of the surrounding area. So informative, thank you so much Jerry and remember us if you buy the defender! 😂 Would thoroughly recommend this place, great fresh milk! We have loved our stay.

BEAUTIFUL property. Looked exactly as listed. 1 hour away from La Fortuna. Definitely need a car to get there. Recommend bringing water and snacks prior to getting there. The host was super nice and responsive. We got a flat on the way there and was stuck in the middle of nowhere and the host was able to get someone to give us a ride late at night. Very greatly appreciated after a long day of travel.

Very nice place well constructed and well thought out.

We had an amazing time. The property is beautiful.  Wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Sublime House!!!!!! We should have stayed longer. José was always quick to respond and helped remotely with any questions. Thank you so much.

Sublime Maison !!!!! On aurait du rester plus longtemps José nous a toujours répondu rapidement et aidé à distance pour toutes questions. Merci beaucoup.

We stayed 2 nights in this rental, but we could have spent our entire vacation there as the place is so nice and the house is amazing, there is everything to be happy! Margarita, José's mom, welcomed us with great kindness, putting us immediately at ease. You can walk safely, the farm is huge and you will certainly be accompanied by one of the dogs 🐕 (all very nice). We will definitely be back to this accommodation because the area is great. A big thank you again to Margarita and José, and: PURA VIDA!!!😍

Nous sommes restés 2 nuits dans cette location, mais nous aurions pu y passer toutes nos vacances tellement l'endroit est agréable et la maison incroyable, il y a tout pour être heureux ! Margarita la maman de José, nous a accueilli avec beaucoup de gentillesse, nous mettant tout de suite à l'aise . Vous pouvez vous promener en toute sécurité , la ferme est immense et vous serez certainement accompagné par un des chiens 🐕 ( tous très gentils) . Nous reviendrons très certainement dans cet hébergement car la région est magnifique. Un grand merci encore à Margarita et José, et : PURA VIDA !!!😍

5 stars in every way, from start to end! Location is private and peaceful but celebration central to many places such as La Fortuna (highly suggest Soda Leo and Arenal Bee Garden - Honey, Coffee & Chocolate Tour) and the volcano. Enco Mas (grocery store) was a very short drive. Plenty of road side sodas, butchers, fruit and more everywhere! José was extremely helpful and responsive at all times, including arranging on site daily massages, and helped arrange a birthday celebration with Chef Jerry. Margarita (Jose's mother) was also very responsive and helpful during our stay! We felt like family from the moment we arrived. We didn't want to leave and can't wait to come back!

We had a fun time with the family! A charming place located on the outskirts of a small village inhabited by Jose's family, an excellent base from which to explore various activities 30-75 minutes away (Estacion Biologica La Selva, Tirimbina Rainforest, Bajos del Toro, Juan Castro Blanco National Park, Braulio Carrillo National Park, Poas Volcano, Boca Topada, La Fortuna/Arenal Volcano, La Paz Waterfall Gardens). Quick and efficient communication with the host and Margarita, Jose's mom (neighbor of the property). Comfortable, spacious and allows for privacy considering the central outdoor space that separates the rooms into two blocks. Very nice pool to cool off in and entertain the kids. We were able to visit the second property next to it and we plan to go back to rent both AirBNB properties with a group of friends or the whole family! Recommended in every respect, excellent value for money :)

Nous avons adoré notre séjour en famille! Un lieu charmant situé aux abords d'un petit village habité par la famille de Jose, une excellente base à partir de laquelle rayonner pour diverses activités à 30-75 mins de distance (Estacion Biologica La Selva, Tirimbina Rainforest, Bajos del Toro, Parque National Juan Castro Blanco, Parque National Braulio Carrillo, volcan Poas, Boca Topada, La Fortuna/volcan Arenal, La Paz Waterfall Gardens). Communication rapide et efficace avec l'hôte et Margarita, la maman de Jose (voisine de la propriété). Confortable, spacieuse et permettant de l'intimité considérant l'espace central extérieur qui sépare les chambres en deux blocs. Piscine très appréciable pour se rafraîchir et amuser les enfants. Vous avons pu visiter la seconde propriété voisine à celle-ci et nous envisageons d'y retourner pour louer les deux propriétés AirBNB avec un groupe d'amis ou l'ensemble de la famille! Recommandable en tout point, excellent rapport qualité/prix :)

We absolutely loved Jose’s place! It was our favorite place we stayed during our time in Costa Rica. It’s the kind of place you don’t want to leave because the home is so cozy and has everything you need. We also hired Chef Jerry while staying here and his food was wonderful! Best meal in Costa Rica! Thank you for everything

The house is very beautiful with a lot of nature around, perfect to disconnect and seek tranquility , and equipped with everything you need. You can see a lot of order and cleanliness throughout the entire house. A quiet , safe place and Mrs. Doña Margarita super attentive and don Jose also. They behaved wonderfully, we would definitely come back.

La casa es muy hermosa con mucha naturaleza alrededor, perfecto para desconectarse y buscar tranquilidad , y equipada con todo lo necesario. Se nota mucho el orden y limpieza en toda la casa. Un sitio tranquilo , seguro y la sra Doña Margarita super atenta y don Jose tambien. Se comportaron de maravilla, sin duda volveriamos.

It was amazing stay and very peaceful! Unique design, open living area with the pool and 3 separate bedrooms with bathrooms and a kitchen, no dishwasher but still a great kitchen very well stocked! It rained a lot, but was not all the time, the car was able to get parked under the roof, which was convenient and the house supplied 3 large umbrellas which we used when we went to see waterfalls. There are great restaurants and shops for gifts nearby. The house has a propane grill which we used a few times. We visited Boca Arenal volcano, Blue falls and hot springs. I highly recommend this place! The hosts are wonderful!

Our family of 4 had an absolutely amazing time at Jose's Casa Hiedra in Costa Rica! The home was very secluded and private on an expansive property with beautiful views in all directions. The design of the home is thoughtfully done and we spent a lot of time in the pool. It is about an hour drive to Fortuna where there are tons of outdoor activities and touristy stuff. We also made the 4 hour drive to Puerto Viejo Limón on the Caribbean side of the country and stayed a night there. We were extremely happy with the location of the home. The town it is located in is not a tourist town. We were probably the only tourists in the town during our stay but felt very welcomed by everyone. Jose is extremely responsive and attentive. His passion for Costa Rica and desire for his guests to have a great trip is very apparent. His mother Margarita greeted us at the home upon our arrival and she was very sweet. Thanks again for everything Jose and Margarita! Pura Vida!

We absolutely loved staying here! we even added an extra night to our stay so we could enjoy it for one more day. The open air living space was so wonderful, we spent almost every minute ouside enjoying the pool and lounging. Very clean and well equipped. If you like adventure and hiking there is so much to do in the area, so many waterfalls and beautiful areas to explore. There is a Pali grocery store just a few minutes away were you can get almost anything you need. can't say enough about how much we enjoyed it. One thing to note is that each bedroom has a separate entrance from the outside because of the open air concept, it didn't bother us at all because our kids are older but could have been tricky if we had young children. We will definitely be back!

This place is perfect for a family walk or with friends, in which you want a quiet and peaceful Place. We loved it This place is perfect for a peaceful retreat with your family or friends. We loved it!

Perfect stay for our family. They arrnaged chef Jerry for our 24th anniversary dinner and it was all amazing!

felt just like home, if we had a perfect pool and ... a lot of small details that made our stay a wow

Fantastic stay. Jose was SO helpful with everything and ensuring we got in after a long trip. So accommodating and incredibly beautiful grounds with epic views. My only suggestion would be to included some more appliances, paper towels, and kitchen goods :) Otherwise, it was amazing. And his whole family is so kind. Great stay!

A great experience in a pleasant decor. The house and the pool was perfect. A big thank you

Une très belle expérience dans un décors des plus agréable. La maison et la piscine était parfaite. Un gros merci

If you are seeing this home available, get it while you can! My family and I stayed as part of a road trip through the country. The home is immaculate and uniquely configured with three separate bedrooms with three en suite bathrooms. The kids loved swimming in the pool and looking for lizards and frogs. The host was extremely receptive and made us feel right at home with recommendations and suggestions for local activities. The Blue Falls and Poas Volcano were two of our favorite stops. Lastly, we hired Chef Jerry to come and cook one evening. He is very talented, kind and well priced for the experience. Such a treat, and don’t miss his strawberry crepes, steaks and garden salad.

We had a great time as a family. The house is very well equipped and comfortable. Chef Jerry gave us a delicious dinner, very friendly and thoughtful. Recommended. We loved the stay. Thanks to the hosts for their attention and being on the spot.

La pasamos de lo más bien en familia. La casa muy bien equipada y cómoda. El chef Jerry nos hizo una cena riquísima, muy amable y detallista. Recomendado. Nos encantó la estadía. Gracias a los anfitriones por sus atenciones y estar al pendiente.

Great location with easy to follow instructions. José communicated very well so that our experience was very good. I recommend it 200%!

Excelente ubicación con instrucciones fáciles de seguir. José se comunicó muy bien para que nuestra experiencia fuera muy buena. Lo recomiendo 200%!

Jose’s place was beautiful and as described in the listing. Me and my kids enjoyed the wide life around us and the pool. Lovely place and recommend for a quick stay to see the local sites in the area.

Jose was great and very responsive.  his place was very nice.  we would definitely go again.

Jose’s place is so well-designed!  My family of four loved the outdoor space adjacent with the pool area.  Maricela greeted us and is so kind.  Chef Jerry and his son made us an amazing dinner on our night of arrival.  Absolutely delicious!  We spent hours in the beautiful pool, enjoying the natural surroundings.  The place was conveniently located for our day trips to Poas and La Paz waterfall gardens.  And Michael arranged great tours for us with ATVs, zip lining and hot springs.  We highly recommend this place.  Thank you to Jose and Maricela for making our first nights in Costa Rica so special and memorable.

Beautiful scenery, comfortable rooms Very relaxing and peaceful

Great modern furnished house with open plan living area. Beautiful kitchen and pool in the middle of green surroundings. We felt at home from the beginning and were very nicely received by Mama Margarita. We would come back anytime. Pura Vida

Tolles modern eingerichtetes Haus mit offenem Wohnbereich. Schöne Küche und Pool inmitten grüner Umgebung. Wir haben uns von Anfang an wie zu Hause gefühlt und wurden sehr nett von Mama Margarita empfangen. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommem. Pura Vida

Casa Hiela is a beautiful and very tastefully furnished house. The nicest thing was the sports figures on the wall, I would like to have them too ;) Ah! And the bathrooms are a dream, it feels like heaven, really beautiful, well done!!!! It is very clean and you have everything you need to feel at home. We come from Guanacaste where it is very hot and dry this time of year so we chose this area and it was very good. I almost felt at home in Europe. Pleasant temperatures and everything is wonderfully green. The dairy cows around us greeted us warmly in the morning, and the morning jump into the beautiful pool was a lovely wacke up call. Very nice pool, I love the chosen tiles, very very pretty. The check in was smooth and very sweet and friendly by Jose's mom and the communication with Jose worked well. We can really recommend this beautiful home with a clear conscience. Thank you Jose that we were able to spend a few days in your beautiful home.

Excellent Villa, the place Super clean, comfortable well-equipped & beautiful. The amazing host. Believe me you'll feel at home while staying in this place. I recommend it all 10/10

Excelente Villa, el lugar Super limpio, cómodo bien equipado & precioso. El host increíble. Créanme que se sentirán como en casa mientras se queden en este lugar. La recomiendo todo 10/10

The beautiful house and the spectacular attention, Jose was always attentive that everything was fine, very nice place, we hope to return soon. Chef Jerry catered to us amazing, everything was delicious and very friendly.

La casa preciosa y la atención espectacular, Jose siempre estuvo atento a que todo estuviera bien, lindísimo lugar, esperamos volver pronto. El chef Jerry nos atendió increíble, todo estuvo delicioso y muy amable.

Hands down the best airbnb we’ve ever stayed at. If you are looking for a peaceful place away from the city, this is it. Margarita, Jose’s mom, is very social and friendly. She made us feel right at home. We loved hanging out on the backyard while watching the birds and cows grazing right outside. We have 2 boys and having our own private pool was the cherry on top. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone traveling to Costa Rica.

If you are seeing this available. BOOK IT! There’s nothing else like this place with an incredible modern look in a dairy farm, situated in a jungle! The pool is so relaxing after a long day at La Paz or other waterfalls and traveling it’s the perfect home. The best advice I can give is book Jerry the Chef when you stay. He is reasonably priced and a master of his craft. When staying here having the farm surround you on a sunset while he cooks an incredible meal for you and friends is one of the most amazing memories you can make. Book this place!

Perfect stay at Casa Hiedra! Modern house, very well-located, tastefully decorated in a peaceful location. Very clean place, very well-equipped. Jose was available throughout our stay to answer our questions. The open plan dining area allowed us to enjoy our meals outside after our days of excursions. And what about Chef Jerry! We called on his services on our first night. What delights! Jerry is a very talented and friendly chef!  It's a must if you rent Casa Hiedra!  We highly recommend this place and will definitely go back during our next stay in this area.

Séjour parfait à la Casa Hiedra! Maison moderne, très bien située, décorée avec goût dans un endroit paisible. Endroit très propre, très bien équipé. Jose a été disponible tout au long de notre séjour pour répondre à nos questions. La salle à manger à aire ouverte nous permettait de savourer nos repas à l’extérieur après nos journées d’excursions. Et que dire du chef Jerry! Nous avons fait appel à ses services notre premier soir. Quels délices! Jerry est un chef très talentueux et très sympathique!  Il est un incontournable si vous louer la Casa Hiedra!  Nous recommandons fortement cet endroit et nous y retournerons sans aucun doute lors de notre prochain séjour dans cette région.

We absolutely loved this place. Marguerita met us at check in and was so welcoming and sweet. The swinging futon on the patio was my favorite feature. Loved being surrounded by cow pastures. We highly recommend the private chef Jerry. Best meal we had in all of Costa Rica and we were here almost 2 months.

This place is beautiful and allows you to rest calmly  to the rhythm of the ubiquitous nature. José , Maricela and Mrs. Margerita are extraordinary hosts. I recommend without any downside this exceptional house.

Cet endroit est magnifique et permet de se reposer calmement  au rythme de la nature omniprésente. José , Maricela et madame Margerita sont des hôtes hors du commun. Je recommande sans aucun bémol cette maison exceptionnelle.

Amazing place in quiet surroundings and with great outdoor facilities 😀

We loved this peaceful place... all the environment was outstanding. A great house for families if you want to forget the rush of the city. Thanks Jose and his mother Margarita. See you soon

Jose made us feel right at home, he was always responsive. The home was beautiful and peaceful. The pool was amazing and the beds were comfy.

The house is amazing ! Very confortable, beautiful and relaxing. The owner’s mother is welcoming, sweet and helpful. The house has everything you need and its brand new. If you want to hire the service of a chef during your stay at the casa, we highly recommend Jerry, the chef. He is really attentive, jovial and the food is delicious !! The experience with him was amazing ! Keep in mind that you are on a dairy farm. For nature lovers !

Excellent place to relax and be in contact with nature and disconnect, a house with many details and very elegant everything one needs

Excelente lugar para relajarse y estar en contacto con la naturaleza y desconectarse, una casa con muchos detalles y muy elegante todo lo que uno necesita

A very peaceful and beautiful place, we loved everything

Un lugar muy tranquilo y bonito, nos encantó todo

Definitely the warmth of the family and Jose's care makes a place to disconnect and with the upscale amenities. A great location that serves small groups looking for tranquility and revolutions.

Definitivamente la calidez de la familia y la atención de Jose hace un sitio para desconectarse y con las comodidades  de primer nivel. Una Gran locación que sirve para grupos pequeños que busquen tranquilidad y de bajar revoluciones.
