Cozy Nature Villa + Jacuzzi, Pool & Farm Charm #4 - Houses for Rent in La Fortuna, Provincia de Alajuela, Costa Rica

We were a family of 5 with three kids who stayed four nights. We had a lovely time and were very comfortable. The house was in great condition, the kitchen had everything we needed and the hosts were friendly and very responsive. The hot tub in the jungle was a big hit!

Loved this place, the sweet jealous goats that wanted attention over the other animals to the bunnies and baby ducks, the adult ducks that made a trip over to our place on the far side every morning to do whatever they were doing, but by far our favorite was the dog Milo that we convinced to come see us every day, the most respectful and friendly dog you could imagine. We ate a lot of fresh eggs from their farm delivered to our place.  Cannot recommend this place enough.

Great place!  The little farm was cute and the bunny had a baby while we were there.  so cute!   thanks and i would stay here again

Nice green lush location. Lot's of humming birds spotted. Loved the hot-tub in the evening and the fresh eggs at our arrival. Friendly host offering to do service during our stay, even though we stayed for just a few days. Felt very secure. Great WI-FI (this is an important feature for our teen kids). Pizza place for takeaway nearby and only a short ride to the La Fortuna center.

We loved this place! Perfectly located about ten minutes out of town, so the place was so peaceful and welcoming. My kids loved the farm and the surrounding area felt like a private little rainforest. We felt safe and at home the entire time!

Beauitful place, serene surroundings, jaccuzi was nice add on. And your 15 mins away from all the action so not to far! Would stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay overall. The property is beautiful, peaceful, and very private, with spectacular grounds that made it feel like a special place to relax. Everything was clean, well maintained, and worked as expected, and the host was always very responsive. The only things to keep in mind are that the property is a bit farther from La Fortuna than we realized and can be a little tricky to find, so plan accordingly if you want to be close to town. Our only frustration was being contacted after booking and asked to pay an additional guest fee. We had been clear from the beginning that we were traveling as a family, but because Airbnb defaulted the reservation to one guest when my spouse completed the booking through a shared link, there seemed to be confusion. It would have been nice if that had been clarified before or during the booking process. Despite that, we had a wonderful stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, secluded getaway.

Thank you, Cecilia, for your kind words about the property, our team, and your overall stay. We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the privacy, peaceful atmosphere, and the grounds. Regarding the guest count, we’d like to clarify that the reservation was submitted for 1 guest, while 5 guests stayed at the property. Airbnb prices our accommodation based on the number of guests, so additional guest fees apply when the reservation does not reflect the actual occupancy. As soon as we noticed the discrepancy, we reached out through Airbnb to explain the situation and offered a discounted adjustment rather than our standard additional guest rate. Unfortunately, we did not receive a response before your checkout. We appreciate your feedback and will continue looking for ways to make this process even clearer for future guests. Thank you again for staying with us, and we wish you and your family all the best.

This place was a piece of paradise. We loved the Airbnb itself, the shared pool, the farm, the garden, and the location. 100% would have stayed longer and would come back!

Thank you so much for hosting our family during our stay. We had a wonderful vacation and truly felt at home in your beautiful villa. Everything was thoughtfully planned and maintained down to the smallest details, which made our stay comfortable and stress-free from start to finish. We especially enjoyed the pool, the spa, and the beautiful surroundings. The location was perfect—close enough to La Fortuna to easily enjoy all the attractions and activities we wanted to experience, while still offering a peaceful and relaxing retreat. Thank you for helping make our family vacation so memorable. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend your villa to others visiting the area.

My family really enjoyed this beautiful home and property. It was spacious, immaculate, well stocked and comfortable for 2 adults and 2 older teens. The amenities are just as described, we enjoyed it all! The pool, the animals, Milo the sweet perro, and the grounds are incredible- so well landscaped and peaceful. We had fresh eggs each morning and they even have free laundry available for guest use. All correspondence was friendly and prompt. We requested cleaning one day during our stay and came back to find it like we just checked in again along with dirty dishes cleaned and put away. Above and beyond our expectations in every way, gracias para todos! We would highly recommend.

Exceptional place to stay! Expensive, but the nicest place we've ever stayed, with the garden and the hot tub.

Außergewöhnliche Unterkunft! Preisintensiv aber die schönste Unterkunft, die wir je hatten mit dem Garten und dem Whirlpool.

We loved this vacation.  Magdi provided us with help from Eddie who was extremely knowledgeable about what tours were the best and even went above and beyond in helping us get a cake and decorate the place for my sons birthday! Five stars!!!

Dear family ! You always will be welcome !

My family loved our stay at Magid’s villa. We felt very safe the entire time and got to bask in the beauty of the property and wildlife. My kids (ages 4,5,9&11) loved visiting the little farm daily to visit the animals. We also enjoyed the fresh farm eggs that were provided to us at checkin. (Thank you for this treat!).  I loved drinking coffee on the porch watching the birds play and taking in all of the jungle sounds.  It was magical.   The villa was about 15min ride to downtown La Fortuna with a few restaurants and coffee shops along route as well. We loved everything about our stay and will return again if we come back to this area of CR!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It truly means a lot to us. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and had a great experience. You were a fantastic guest, and we would love to welcome you back anytime!”

Absolutely beautiful grounds!  The villa was spotless.  There were fresh eggs upon arrival which was fantastic and delicious.  We would definitely stay here again.

A beautiful and tranquil paradise! My family absolutely loved our stay here! The home and grounds were so quiet allowing us to take in the natural beauty of Costa Rica each morning with our coffee. Our home was very clean and well equipped with all that we needed for a comfortable stay. I highly recommend!

No doubt, Jenny, you guys deserve the best, as Guests!

Just far enough away from Fortuna to feel secluded. Loved the beautiful grounds and the farm. We had fresh eggs everyday!

The space was large and comfortable. The host was very responsive to any problems we had and had someone in premise to help. The entrance was a bit hard to find especially in the dark as there were no lights to help indicate the entrance.

Thank you so much for your review and for choosing to stay with us. We truly did our best to make sure everything was comfortable and enjoyable during your visit. We always strive for a 5-star experience, so we genuinely appreciate your feedback as it helps us continue improving. It was a pleasure hosting you.

Lovely, very comfortable stay. Magdi and Max are great hosts, very responsive and generous. We enjoyed the pool, beautiful surroundings and friendly goats!

Reading your review made our day! Thank you for being such wonderful guests. We’re grateful you chose to stay with us and we hope to welcome you back very soon.

Our family of four had a truly delightful stay at Magdi’s place. It was the perfect balance of a beautiful, peaceful escape that was convenient to La Fortuna and surrounding activities. Magdi was friendly, warm and helpful. The farm fresh eggs, hot tub and cleaning an alternate days really elevated the experience. We hope to return someday!

Had a nice stay with our 2 kids, enjoyed the jacuzzi and the beautiful garden!

Fijn verblijf gehad met onze 2 kids, hebben genoten van de jacuzzi en de mooie tuin!

Beautiful and peaceful outdoor space. Responsive and thoughtful host!! Very charming place and very comfortable beds!!

Nous avons passé une belle semaine dans ce logement.

It was beautiful and just like the pictures. It was relaxing and we felt like we were in the jungle. Max was very helpful and assisted us in setting up tours before we arrived. We also visited his restaurant which was delicious. Our kids loved walking on the farm, by the creek, and visiting the animals. Overall, we had a great stay and would absolutely return.

Wonderful house. Outfitted with everything you need for an Airbnb stay. They had coffee for us, the house was super and amenities were just perfect for our family of four. We wound up cooking a few meals there and it was a full kitchen and the fresh eggs that were brought to us were just amazing. Thank you for the lovely stay in the mountains of Costa Rica.

Wonderful place...very private with beautiful gardens to walk around. You are able to see all kinds of birds from your patio. Highly recommend for the private gardens and quiet location.

Our stay at Magdi’s home in La Fortuna was wonderful. From the fresh eggs waiting for us on arrival to the beautiful property grounds and private hot tub, the house was perfect for our family of four. Several markets were just minutes away, making it easy to pick up groceries and anything else we needed. We had a car during our stay, and getting into town or to excursions was always a quick and easy drive. Magdi and her brother were incredibly responsive and helpful, answering all of our questions and offering great recommendations for activities and restaurants. We truly enjoyed our time here and would happily stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Madgi’s place. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The gardens were the real star here and we enjoyed hanging out in the garden in the mornings watching hummingbirds and listening to all the different birds singing. There’s also a little creek that runs behind the property and we enjoyed relaxing in the hammocks near there. My kids (ages 8, 6 &3 )loved the hot tub, the goats and the flowers in the gardens. We would totally recommend this place.

Kaithlyn thank you for your amaizing comment! You always will be welcome

We loved our stay! The surroundings are beautiful and the home was nice and clean! Would book again.

Really enjoyed our stay. I highly recommend the accommodation. Hosts are very responsive to any queries or questions. They responded really quick and went above and beyond in providing guidance or assistance. Will definitely stay again if back in La Fortuna.

It was hard to leave this slice of paradise.  We enjoyed everything about this property from the clean, well-cared for home with great a/c, to the magical tropical gardens,to the pool, farm animals, and wonderful wildlife sightings off our porch.  Looking forward to coming back and renting multiple units with other friends & family.

Hi Matthew! I am very happy to know that you enjoy! You always will be welcome!

The place was incredible! I felt like we were at a spa. The wildlife and amenities were amazing! Totally worth it! Hopefully we can go back someday.

A wonderful location with a great host. We actually had to adjust our plans last minute and Magdi and Max were flexible, responsive and helpful. The lodge was delightful. It was clean and had all the listed amenities. We came from the UK and had a brilliant time away. I would recommend to anyone considering going to the area, to use take advantage of such a beautiful space. It was clean, secure, close enough to the activities in the region to enjoy and very peaceful in the evenings. 5 star review all round! I would return again without hesitation. Thank you for our stay 😁😁

Dear Kenny! Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re truly delighted to know you enjoyed your stay and that we could meet (and hopefully exceed) your expectations. It was a real pleasure hosting you, and you’re always welcome back anytime. We look forward to seeing you again!” ✨

We loved the place. Hummingbirds outside the kitchen window every morning. Fresh eggs from the chickens. The kids loved the pool and walking around the grounds to hang out with the goats, chickens and bunny - and hunting for lizards! What a great experience!

Dear Jeff! You always will be welcome!

I can not enough say enough great things about this experience! It's much more than just an air bnb, it's an actual wonderful experience in itself! The home is just as described. The hot tub was private and available all night . The garden was beautiful with a creek running through the property for such a peaceful serene sound. The flora was captivating! If Youre a plant lover , this is the place for you! I walked the garden every morning with coffee in hand. Hummingbirds and butterflies visited every morning. The fresh eggs from the farm were an eggsellent touch! A nice community pool. Laundry room available. The AC was nice and cool. But best of all , was Max. Talk about a super host.... this man nailed it! He reached out to us with in days of booking the stay. He offered to help with any advice and excursion bookings. He put me in touch with a car rental agent. He booked an ATV tour for us, and day passes and dinner at Baldi Hotsprings with a nice discount. Thank you Max! Pura Vida

Hi Brenda! Today I so my brother and he told me that you were amazing persons! He was very happy to have you in Bukala Village!

Fun farm lodging with amenities.  Enjoyed our stay and was good for a family that didn’t mind being out from the city

Bukala Village Lodge is nestled in what looks like a piece of paradise. It is so beautiful and quiet that you get the feeling you are in the middle of the jungle. Max is great - always available for questions or to book a tour. The fresh eggs we got during our stay were very much appreciated. We visited the farm a few times and became friends with the two goats. The villa was very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. There is housekeeping every other day which was amazing and I have never seen at another Airbnb. We had very busy days and it always felt like coming back home when we entered the villa. The only thing you are trading for the peace and beautiful surroundings is the remoteness - you do need to drive 15-ish minutes to restaurants and stores. It is so worth it though. The jacuzzi is a nice touch as well. Overall this is one of the best places we have stayed at and the hosts are amazing.

My family and I had a wonderful relaxing time.  This place is the perfect la fortuna stay.  Our daughter loved the farm and pool, my wife and I relaxed in the hot tub at night.  We truly felt well taken care of and rejuvenated.  This place is peaceful, beautiful, and the staff were kind and responsive.

The property was absolutely beautiful! The cottage was very comfortable and well furnished. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub, pool, farm, and property grounds. Max was very helpful during our stay and was quick to answer any questions. We would definitely stay here again!

I stayed for a short time with my husband and two children. Excellent place, the house is private and very comfortable. I really appreciate that there are enough towels and the kitchen is very well-equipped, the place in general is beautiful, surrounded by nature, fruit trees and animals that the children enjoyed very much. I don't want to forget to mention the hosts, both behind the chat and those on the site, they were great, I'm really very grateful to everyone! We'll be back soon! Happy Easter!

Me hospedé poco tiempo junto con mi esposo y mis dos hijos. Excelente lugar, la casa privada y muy confortable. Valoro mucho que hayan suficientes toallas y la cocina muy bien equipada, el lugar en general está precioso, rodeado de Naturaleza, árboles frutales y animalitos que los niños disfrutaron mucho. No quiero dejar de lado mencionar a los anfitriones, tanto detrás del chat cómo los que se encuentran en el sitio estuvieron de lujo, de verdad que muy agradecida con todos! Volveremos pronto! Felices Pascuas de Resurrección!

Hola Alina regresen pronto ! Siempre seran bienvenidos

We loved the place. Quiet and beautifully landscaped. Max made us feel welcomed right upon arrival. We we’re not too far from town but just far away enough to be alone.

Fam w 13 and 10 yo First, Max (guy who runs the property) is ultra-responsive & friendly. Super nice guy. Respond if he reaches out to you prior to your trip and offers to help via WhtsApp - he will be your primary contact and can help with excursions/tours. Bukala Village is special. We loved the goats, ducks, and chickens (not to mention the fresh chicken eggs we enjoyed). The grounds are gorgeous and lush. It’s about 12 minutes outside downtown La Fortuna, FYI. Not walkable, in my opinion. The beds are comfortable and the A/C blows very cold! Out unit had a private hot tub on the outdoor patio which was lovely. Regarding safety, the entire property is gated/fenced and only visitors have access via remote controlled security gate. Our room was also armed with a security system. There were some broken items that need repair (hot tub jets, range hood, etc al) and these are such things that need to be fixed in order for this property to maintain its excellent reputation.

Thank you Magdalena for sharing with to my family your beautiful property. You have a beautiful and peaceful nature surroundings We really enjoyed !!!

I came to Costa Rica with my mom and boyfriend and we all loved this place. Fresh eggs were provided in a basket which was delicious for breakfast. The Airbnb was close to a lot of the activities we planned such as white water rafting, night walk, and not too far from restaurants. The actual property is really peaceful and relaxing. It’s private and secure with a gate. Max, her brother, lives on the property and helped us to check in very easily. I would absolutely recommend this Airbnb or stay here again!! Pura vida!

Dear Nicole! I am very happy that you enjoyed!!! You always will be welcome !

Our stay was perfect! It is only about 10mins from the Main Street in La Fortuna. You are away from the noise and tourists but close enough to everything. There is a small market just down the street that has just about everything you need. We loved the serene atmosphere and beautiful landscape. Max, the onsite manager greeted us with a smile and fresh eggs from the farm. My kids loved going inside the farm to meet the chickens, cow and sheep. It’s truly a lively place to stay and Max is extremely friendly and helpful. You won’t regret booking this property! Thank you for everything!!!

I am ver happy that you kids enjoyed the farm!!! Come back soon!

Lovely quiet location immersed in nature, beautiful pool area. The farm fresh eggs were delicious! Max was a great help when needed and very responsive to any questions we had regarding tours, dining etc. Facilities were clean and spacious. Would definitely stay again A+

Our stay at this Airbnb near La Fortuna was nothing short of magical. With three kids in tow, we couldn't have asked for a better retreat. The property boasts a fantastic hot tub where we relaxed after adventurous days, and daily cleaning ensured our space was always spotless. Check-in was a breeze thanks to Max, who was not only helpful but also a treasure trove of local knowledge, giving us impeccable restaurant recommendations. The kitchen was a dream for any home cook, fully stocked with an impressive array of pots, pans, and seasonings, complemented by fresh eggs from the farm daily - a true farm-to-table experience. The serene sound of the river flowing at the back of the property added a layer of tranquility to our stay, making the mornings and evenings particularly special. Location-wise, it was perfect - just a 10-minute drive to downtown La Fortuna, yet far enough to enjoy peace and quiet. We felt completely at home and rejuvenated.

This place is settled on a gorgeous property! Max the on-site keeper was absolutely amazing, so quick to respond to our many messages and provided helpful tips as well as booked us an excursion. There were 4 adults and 2 small kids that stayed at the place, and it was perfect. Everything was very clean, bedrooms were comfortable enough and all the items you needed to cook a simple meal. The fresh eggs were a definite perk, my kids loved to see the farm and animals plus the pool was lovely! Extremely peaceful and away from the town, however it was only about a 12 minute drive to shops and grocery stores. We Definitely recommend this place!

Great stay near La Fortuna! This villa is very spacious and the outdoor space is amazing! We loved walking around the garden - it is very well cared for and the deck and jacuzzi space was perfect. Has everything you need. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing stay at Magdalena’s place. It is the most beautiful property with all the luscious and varied vegetation, it seemed like we were the only place around. The sound of the running creek behind the place was the most peaceful backdrop. We loved drinking our coffee on the deck or in the kitchen with the accordion windows open listening to the birds. It felt like the garden of Eden. She provided fresh eggs in the morning and my family loved visiting her farm animals. The three air conditioners kept us nice and cool during the night. We were sad to leave and would definitely stay here again!

We couldn’t have asked for more from our stay! The property is a private and pristine oasis in the rain forest. We made good use of the hot tub after long days on the go. Max was helpful in booking us tours and in recommending restaurants. The kids also became fast friends with the livestock on the property and enjoyed the fresh eggs for breakfast.

Dear Eric ! You have amazing family ! You always will be welcome !

What a gem of a property near La Fortuna. The home was clean, new and/or recently updated. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had adequate cooking utensils. The stand outs are the grounds itself with perfectly manicured garden, trees, and small stream, as well as the little farm with the most adorable and friendly cow (I think its name was Galleta). They even provided a few farm fresh eggs for breakfast! We really enjoyed sitting on the deck in the morning, having a cup of coffee and listening to the birds. We actually saw a Toucan! The hot tub hit the spot after a long and very wet/rainy hike through the rainforest. The pool looked pristine but we didn't have time to use it. Having Max nearby to answer questions was a huge benefit. Our only regret was not stating longer and we would absolutely stay here again when in La Fortuna.

Amazing place! Beautiful landscaping, private jacuzzi, quiet, and lots more. My children loved every bit of it, including the farm! Max was super friendly and gave us some great recommendations for eating and adventures.

We loved our stay here. Our kids had such a blast playing with the animals on the farm and getting fresh eggs from the chickens.

An absolutely wonderful stay, away from the touristy center of town but with TONS to easily access (La Fortuna, Arenal, chocolate tours, El Salto, grocery store, hot springs). Super friendly hosts who will Offer help if needed but otherwise unobtrusive, an AMAZING property with pool, farm animals, and a private hot tub, and fresh eggs for breakfast. We loved being able to make our own breakfast and dinner, and the icy air conditioning at night meant we were well rested at night. Bonk’s - two bathrooms (!) meant we were living in more luxury than home…and the grounds are absolutely beautiful. My kids were so sad to leave…and so were we.

If you are looking for an AB&B in La Fortuna or Arenal, look no more! This place is absolutely amazing!! Particularly the private garden they have built there is and absolute paradise! Also the deck with awesome hot tub is fantastic! Very comfortable and relaxing after spending the day touring the area! To too it off, Max who takes care of the property is awesome! Very responsible, always willing to help, he even helped us book our tours and make reservation modifications!!! When you are in this AB&B is like being in a very secluded private and safe area within La Fortuna but at the same time close from all attractions!!!! We will definitely be back!!!

Beautiful place! Highlights: shared pool, hammocks by the stream, and beautiful birdsongs from the porch.

This is our second time staying here. We love it! Max is amazing with offering recommendations and was so kind and happy. We love this spot! The hot tub is so nice and the beds are comfortable.

Wonderful!!! Beautiful property and scenery.  Great host Max!!

What a find! La Fortuna can be crazy expensive and not that private. But this little village was perfect. Do not stay here if you want to be right in the action or walkable to town. It is a 20-minute drive into La Fortuna. Do stay here if you want something peaceful, safe, functional, and cold a/c. This is a no-frills stay; the house is basic and functional, neat and clean with a really great shower. The private hot tub was the perfect temp right outside our door. And of course, there's the little stream, shared pool, and farm to enjoy. We arrived late and had communication from our hosts the whole time. We knew exactly what to do when we arrived since it was after hours. The hosts checked in on us a few times via messaging and asked permission to come in a do some light cleaning. Check-out was even easier. All we needed to do was leave the keys on the counter--easy peasy--my kind of stay. I would recommend the stay.

We truly enjoyed every minute spent at this house! The house is a true paradise! The gardens surrounding the house, the pool, the farm. Everything in the house was well thought and very convenient! Max and Magdalena were amazing hosts - very helpful! I highly recommend this house!

What an amazing spot. Our three kids couldn’t get enough of the grounds, pool and farm. We enjoyed getting up to see the sun rise, watch the birds and enjoy the view of the gardens. Max was super helpful and responsive. The place itself was clean, comfortable and full of amenities. Overall a wonderful stay!

My family loved this place.  The deck was incredibly peaceful, and the hot tub was lovely once it cooled down in the evenings.  The beds were really comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped for what we needed.  The kids enjoyed playing in the pool and lounging in the hammocks in between the pool and the stream.  For our needs, the location was great.  It's about a 15-minute drive to town (helpful to have a car), so we could go our to dinner but it was very quiet where we were.  We could hear lots of birds in the mornings.  Very happy we chose this as our base in La Fortuna.

My family of 4 loved this house. We could easily have fit in 2 more people. The house had everything we needed for a perfect stay in La Fortuna. The house is only 15 minutes away from the town of La Fortuna. The host Max was very and promptly responsive and helped us book many a activities last minute. Although we didn’t use the pool, it was just perfect. There is also a stream right behind the house that was so perfect to explore. The garden around the house was beautiful and very well manicured. We even got farm fresh eggs and had to go back and beg for more. We availed of the washer and dryer and it worked perfectly. My only recommendation would be to add a fan on the deck near the hot tub coz it does get hot and humid. Everything really was perfect and we would be back for longer next time.

We stayed here for 5 nights as a family of 5 with 3 kids. We enjoyed coming back to this peaceful paradise at the end of each busy day in Fortuna. The pool was great for the kids and Max helped us book activities and plan our days out with helpful recommendations. Pura Vida

Thank you Chris for giving us the pleasure of being your hosts. We hope to have you with us in the future.

This place was amazing.  We’ve been to Costa Rica six different times and this was one of our favorite places to stay.  Max is helpful and organized.  The rooms are clean and organized.  Beds and pillows are very comfortable and the grounds are amazing.  Fresh eggs every morning from the chickens and we loved saying how to the cow, sheep and chickens every day.  Max recommended a local service for whitewater rafting and repelling which were spot on.  We would stay here again without a second thought.  Thanks for a great stay!

Max and Magdalena were very proactive for directions to get there and setting up activities. Max took lot of time to chat with us and make us feel at home. He is extremely knowledgeable of the area and friendly. The gardens and grounds are next level, on par with any botanical gardens back home. We loved the fresh eggs from the farm and all the recommendations around the area. 11/10, cant recommend their place enough

Right from the start Magdalena, Stefanie, and Max were very pleasant and helpful with booking, accommodations and any questions we had. The home was beautiful, very clean and had everything we needed. We were close to many restaurants and all of our activities that we booked, including the hot springs and hanging bridges. I would highly recommend this destination to all! 👍🏻

Amazing visit, very responsive and helpful in booking activities and tours for the day. Peaceful, safe and close to attractions

We enjoyed our stay at Magdalena’s place. The house was perfect for 2 couples. The best part was the beautiful surroundings, and hot tub on the deck! Our host was also very responsive whenever we have a question, that was much appreciated. Would definitely recommend!

My family and I had a great stay here. We were very comfortable. It is well located, however, you do need to drive to all of the attractions/activities. We had a rental car, so it was no problem for us. My kids loved the pool and private hot tub. ￼And, we really appreciated the gesture of farm fresh eggs provided! It made for a delicious first breakfast for our visit.

Oh my - this place is Heavenly!  So peaceful and beautiful!  We regret we didn’t have more time to stay at the farm.  Max was very helpful, happy, friendly and accommodating.  He is truly a gem!  The hot tub was very relaxing!  We enjoyed going into the farm pen to pet the calf and see the sheep up close.  The chickens are beautiful!  We appreciate the farm fresh eggs - we’ve never had eggs that are so healthy with hard shells!  Thank you Max for being such a great in person host!

This was a lovely property about a 20 minute drive from La Fortuna. For a short stay it was perfect. Max was very helpful and got us set up with a nice tour of the volcano and waterfall.

This place was a little peace of heaven.  From the arrival to the end, everything went so well. Max who lives there was so helpful, gave us great recommendations and booked tours for us that really met our needs . The patio is serene ans the gardens are really well taken care of with lots of different plant variety. The little farm is so cute with the animal coming to greet you when you visit . It felt safe. I would definitely recommend this for anyone visiting the Arenal area. It’s the perfect place to relax after a long day of visiting.

Incredible home. Gardens are so beautiful, small farm was so awesome, I fell in love with Cookie the calf. The house had everything we needed, we loved the housekeeping and most of all we love Max. He was so responsive and helpful.

Dear Gina!!! You were wonderful guests! I hope you come back soon!!! Pura vida

Great place to stay! Beautiful, very helpful and friendly. The place is very calm and the nature simple espectacular. Highly recommended

This place is so beautiful and peaceful! Max, who is on site, is extremely friendly and very helpful. The grounds are lush, the interiors clean with amenities and Magdalena and Max made sure we were taken care of. I highly recommend this treasure!

Highly recommend! Beautiful, lush property filled with jungle plants, hummingbirds and a stream.  Gated. Really liked the location being secluded and only 15 minute drive to La Fortuna.  We'll stocked kitchen. Wonderful comfortable deck.  Nice furnishings.  Max was extremely helpful with restaurant and activity bookings.

If we could give more than 5 stars we would. The house, patio, garden were amazing - our personal paradise for a few days.  The beds were really comfortable and the AC units quickly adjusted to our desired settings when at home. From the patio my husband saw a Tucan and parrots in the mornings.   Max helped us arrange a number of great activities - even reaching out weeks before our arrival, which as first time visitors to CR was great.   It was hard to leave when the time came to continue our adventures elsewhere in CR. We hope to be back again in the future and will definitely recommend this particular home to any of our friends, relatives, colleagues, neighbors, etc who may plan to visit beautiful Costa Rica. Thanks Max for helping make our trip even more memorable.

Thank you to Magdalena and Max for making us feel at home. Max brought us some fresh eggs from the farm the first morning and gave us so many recommendations for places to go and meet locals. We loved the swimming pool and hot tub. It was so peaceful and relaxing at this wonderful home. We would definitely recommend!

Max was awesome. Extremely responsive and friendly. Gave great restaurant and activity suggestions and saved us money by making the reservations for us. We had the BEST time and felt right at home!

My husband and I stayed here for 3 days as a part of our honeymoon and had a great time. Bungalows felt private and secluded, we loved having a personal jacuzzi. Max, the host, was very communicative and had many great recommendations for the area.

Great experience. Awesome house for our family. There is a private hot tub on the deck, and a pool that is shared with 3 other houses on the property, but we were the only group that used it so it was private. Max is the grounds keeper there and he is great. He can arrange excursions for you and save you some money as well. Best Airbnb experience. Will go back if ever in the area again.

Dear Dave ! You were wonderful family ! Max really enjoyed your stayed ! Come back soon

What a wonderful welcome to Costa Rica! The grounds were exquisitely maintained and beautiful, the space was clean and bright and spacious, and the private jacuzzi was a perfect touch!

We arrived at the house way too early, but we were able to store our luggage till our house was ready. We returned about two hours before check in but were able to get in. Max, Magdalena's brother, was very fast in responding to us and extremely helpful. He even gave us a name of some local tour companies. The house was set back in it's own cove and extremely private. The grounds were beautiful! Everything was gated and secure. Upon walking in, everything was clean, neat and organized. It had everything we needed from blankets and pillows, to dishes and even coffee. My kids loved the private hot tub and even meeting a few other fellow travelers at the pool. The pool area itself was gorgeous as well. The only complaint was that the shower leaks into the main bathroom area so be careful. (It's the open door concept.) Other than that, definitely worth it! Thank you Magdalena for an awesome place!

This is the second time we have stayed here.  It is really quite and private hot tub is really nice at the end of the day.

Beautiful setting! The backyard is beautiful & peaceful! There are other units close by (there are 4 rental units plus Max’s house), but they did a wonderful job of keeping the yards quiet & private. There were lots of lizards & birds to watch by the creek. Would definitely go back!

Exactly what we were hoping for.  Beautiful, clean, secure place

Our stay was amazing. The grounds are lush and peaceful. The villas are very private. It was awesome having our own hot tub. Max was SUPER helpful planning our activities and getting us a good price. It is a bit of drive into town. It’s not far, but it gets old if you’re doing it for every meal. We ended up buying groceries and ate several meals at the villa. Abigail’s Restaurant right up the road was a great option, though. Also, they have housekeeping every other day which was wonderful. We loved this villa and would definitely stay again!

The listing was accurately described and the hosts went above and beyond to make us feel welcome! My daughter loved the pool and I was impressed by the garden and bird watching!

Had the best time there. Waking up to the sounds of birds and monkeys was amazing. The Space is tranquil and absolutely perfect. When I come back, I'm definitely rebooking my stay here

We had a wonderful time at La Fortuna.  Magdalena was super helpful as we arrived a bit late and she stayed back to hand over keys.  When we found a few issues she responded real quick.  Her place is peaceful, close to town (10-15 min drive) and reasonably close to all attractions.  Her brother who runs the place was super nice.  We will definitely recommend this place and hope to visit again in future!

Dear family !!’ It is easy be good host with amazing guests !!!! You are amazing family!! You Always will be welcome

This place was truly a tropical paradise! It was close enough to the town with all the restaurants and bars but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. The private hot tub was a nice touch & we had everything we needed. I will be back this is a beautiful property. Highly recommended! Clean, great support from the host & there was a lady that even was nice enough to exchange our towels out for us. The pool was very clean & the property was quiet and secluded.

The place was great!  Very clean and about 10 mins from the downtown Fortuna area. The outdoor space was spectacular with beautiful flora throughout- it was too beautiful to stay inside while we stayed! Magdalena and her brother were great and very responsive.  The pool was not heated so it was a little chilly to swim, but we enjoyed sitting out by it with all the flowers and trees.

Magdelena’s Villa was perfect. Photos don’t do justice. The best parts were the gorgeous foliage, the amazing pool and the hot tub. It was perfect for us to be 10 mins away from LaFortuna with a lot of small sodas to pop in at for a bite on the way. It was relaxing, gorgeous flowers and plants, safe with a full gate and alarm system, and the hosts were very helpful. Stocked kitchen. Highly recommend and will stay again!!

Katie thank you for your amazing review !!! You were wonderful guests ! You always will be welcome !!

We have stayed in many places but this has been by far the best experience. The place was beautiful just like the pictures and the surrounding garden are magnificent. What also sets this place apart is the attention and support you get for arranging excursions and advice on anything you need like restaurants etc. We can’t say enough about the time and attention we received from Max. He is a special host!

Hi Stephen !!! Thank you for your wonderful comment !!! You always will be welcome !!

Beautiful space with lots of room and high quality fixtures.  Perfectly set hot tub and lounge area.  In a rural area very close (10 minutes) from La Fortuna provided a quiet, family-friendly and safe location from which to explore the whole region.  Max who looks after the cabins is incredibly friendly and helpful with anything you may need. If you want to wonderful and quiet spot from which to enjoy all that Fortuna and Arenal offer without any of the noise and crowds this is the place for you.

We enjoyed the stay, Max have a lot of good tips for restaurants and activities. Very friendly atmosphere, perfect with the SPA

We really had a good stay.  Max was extremely helpful.  The grounds were beautiful.

One of the most amazing AirBnB experience between the excellent service, lovely place and amazing gardens.  This place is truly a hidden gem.
