Mesmerizing Volcano Villa Infinity Pool + Hot Tub - Villas for Rent in El Castillo, Alajuela Province, Costa Rica

Epic and beautiful home. Commanding view. The host Denise and the groundskeeper Carmen were both great and very helpful and responsive. We took advantage of hiring two of the private chefs that they recommended which were wonderful. We spent the days exploring the Hot Springs near La Fortuna and enjoying all the amenities of the springs resort. This home was perfect for three families. I would highly recommend.

Our family had a wonderfully relaxing vacation at this stunning property. We watched jewel colored birds, peacocks, and hawks from the hot tub every morning. The house truly has everything you could ever want- blender for making margaritas, even an espresso machine! We would definitely come back again.

Hi Rachel, thank you so much for choosing our home for your family’s stay! We truly appreciate it and would be delighted to host you again anytime you return.

We are so happy to hear !!! It was a pleasure hosting you

Denise and her crew were amazing. Will Definitely be back!!! The restaurant owner Andre’s who has a pizzaria very close to the house we went every day and made the food situation so easy.

Thank you Osman,  We look forward to hosting you again someday.

The home was beautiful and just as described.  Denise provided detailed information after booking with recommendations, service providers, and instructions.  Carmen, the on site host was very helpful and responsive.  A few things to note that we experienced, that were different than other properties we have stayed at:  We had to chose our beds prior to arrival so they are prepared.  You are only given the exact amount of towels per member in your party; the towels are switched daily.  The hot tub requires 45 minute notice to Carmen to turn it on, as well as letting her know when you are finished so it can be turned off.  While we were told there are power surges in the village, we were without power for over 12 hours and without running water for that amount of time as well (there was a broken pipe in the village).  We had a bat in the master bedroom one night.  You MUST have a 4 wheel drive vehicle or you won't make it up the hill to the property.  It was a unique experience!

Wonderful stay at an amazing house in an incredible location. Denise and Carmen were both very helpful! ⭐️

The place is incredible. Very spacious, secluded, and beautiful. The kitchen is very well stocked. So easy to make a big meal for lots of people. The access road is very challenging and I would recommend a 4x4.

Denise and Carmen were extremely friendly and accommodating regarding answers to questions and suggestions starting before we even arrived for check in.  The property itself was immaculate and much more spacious and beautiful than the listing photos portrayed.  Looking out at the views of the Arenal volcano were just magnificent!  The location was just perfect.  It was far enough away from some of the busier towns like La Fortuna to feel peaceful and private yet close enough to these towns to allow ease of access for the many local activities we tried out (white water rafting, canyoning, ziplining, etc).  We booked Chef Key Anchia to make dinner and it was fantastic!  All in all, our only wish would have been to have booked this beautiful home for a longer stay!

Thank you Mike.  It was a pleasure hosting you and your guest.  We hope you return to our village someday

We really enjoyed our stay! The private chef  was wonderful! The property was beautiful and we enjoyed the outside spaces. Our girls loved watching the horses next door. Plenty of room for our family.

Thank you Jennifer.  It was a pleasure hosting you and your family.  We hope you return to our village someday.

Beautiful home  with amazing views. Carmen was available for us 24/7 to help with anything we needed. Close to most of the activities we had planned.

My family and I had the most amazing stay in El Castillo. My kids won't stop asking to go back to "the castle house". The house had everything we needed and we felt like we had our own private resort. Denise was very responsive and helpful. Carmin was our local contact and was so kind and accommodating. We would 10/10 recommend this beautiful home.

Thank you so much Sarah.  It was a pleasure hosting you and we hope that you and your guest choose us again if you ever return to our village

Amazing house and service. Carmen, the local host was amazing and helped make the stay memorable! Would highly recommend

We stayed here with a group of 6 adults and 2 children and really enjoyed it. The photos do not do justice to the house, and in particular, the view (which is breathtaking). Carmen was very responsive to every request we had and flexible in our arrival time, as our inbound flight was delayed by several hours. The power did go out a handful of times, but Carmen was able to get it back on each time within 5 mins and thus it was no issue at all. The house is 30 minutes from La Fortuna where there are lots of restaurants (there are a few closer as well), and plenty of other activities to do nearby as well. We also used chefs Kenneth and Kylie, who were phenomenal

We highly recommend Cameron and his guests.  It was great hosting them and hope they return if they ever choose to come back to my village.

Beyond dream home. The experience left all 17 guests so happy to be together in this beautiful home. We were able to have all 17 guests seated for every meal in the spacious island while our chef cooked for us. Experience of a lifetime! Cannot thank Denise enough for providing absolutely every item needed thru out the home. If you are looking for a true castle for all events this is a dream home. Denise covered every detail

What a wonderful stay! Great Location very clean place Carmen was a wonderful help Everything from the check-in process to the place itself was fantastic. Denise really provided some great recommendations Hot tub and swimming pool was a great addition We would definitely come again (five star home ) Thank you all

Denise was communicative, kind, and thoughtful. The house was magnificent, truly gorgeous and just right for a large group. The house was very clean, she even had a cleaning crew come clean while we were out exploring - coming back to a spotless Airbnb, was amazing. The VIEWS of the Arenal volcano were impeccable. We will definitely be coming back!

We had an excellent stay and enjoyed the property inspite of continuous rain. Carmen met us at check in and made us home. Warm meal was waiting for us on arrival. Kenneth Villalobos and my wife is Keylin Anchia, we are natives of the town provided us with world class chef services. The Thanksgiving spread was amazing and they accommodated allergies and food restrictions. In house spa services recommended as well. Make sure to get a 4x4 car and we arranged a private driver. Orlando was great and helped us on our hectic day trips . Carmen is always a message away, views in balcony upstairs are better than the picture. Walk down to small restaurants and about 40 minutes from La Fortuna and 20 minutes from Sky adventure

Beautiful house with amazing views! My family and I really enjoyed our stay here while visiting Arenal. Denise and her staff are extremely helpful and responsive! The last bit of the drive is a bit challenging, so an all wheel drive vehicle would be helpful - but the view is definitely worth it!

Wonderful home. Clearly the best in the area. Nice to be a bit away from the bustle of La Fortuna but close enough to still enjoy. This house is beautiful. Could spend forever in the pool admiring Arenal.

The house was beautiful, great kitchen space where we had delicious breakfasts every day in the big table. The views are amazing, with unobstructed views of the volcano and the lake. It is very peaceful and built with great taste. Next time I plan to do more activities in the local area.

This place is absolutely incredible and the views are jaw dropping. Denise and everyone at the house made everything from start to finish very comfortable. I would bring my family and friends here again anytime 10/10

Great house and views. Even better than pictures. House managers were very responsive and helpful. Beautiful area.

Fantastic stay! Denise and her team were more than accommodating, and the view of the volcano is breathtaking! Highly recommend to anyone interested in exploring the beauty of Arenal and Costa Rica

We had an incredible stay at this property! The house was even better than the pictures in person! We went with our family and children and the owners were super accommodating with providing us with a crib and a child safety gate around the whole pool. The home had an incredible view of Lake Arenal and Arenal volcano. We had questions throughout our stay and the host was so responsive with everything and gave us great restaurant recommendations . We had so much fun in the area and enjoyed several tours and hikes around Arenal. I highly recommend this home! It’s truly a hidden gem.

This is a brand new luxury property with a magnificent lake and mountain views. Super comfortable beds. Large bedrooms. 16 people easily fit there. Several balconies, all with good views. Also, it has nice infinity pool and jacuzzi. The host and her assistant, Carmin, were very responsive and flexible. I got a lot of credit from my family and friends who traveled with us for booking this Villa!

This house looks just like the pictures, it is absolutely beautiful and by far the nicest house in the area. The views are extraordinary. There is so much to do nearby, anything you’d want to do in the rain forest is very close. zip lines, Atv’s, hanging bridges, lake arenal, and a relief to come back to the house after! The house has been very newly renovated with very careful attention to detail. It was also spotlessly clean, and Carmen, the housekeeper was exceptionally helpful. She helped one of our party who arrived early without a car to go buy some groceries. things to note: you absolutely need a 4 x 4 to get to the house. It’s up a very bumpy steep hill. Also, the master bedroom, which is enormous, does not have any window shades. If you are photo sensitive, bring an eye mask. One of the bedrooms is accessed from the outside of the house, the one with one king bed. The loft beds are up a steep ladder/stairs. We would stay here again!
