This was our first family vacation with 10 of us in tow, from elderly to kids, and I could not be more grateful we found Finca Tovar. It gave enough space for everyone to have their own private quarters, plentiful bathrooms, and everything you could imagine for a usable kitchen and shared space. We had so many incredible dinners and breakfasts together and felt comfortable the entire time. I enjoyed wildlife watching every single morning with a cup of coffee on the balcony (sloth, toucan, macaws, humming birds). And we loved being able to hang out in the pool. Something that I also loved was they did not require us to do any cleaning like so many airbnbs do, which allowed us to focus on getting ourselves together and to the airport on time. This stay was a highlight of our trip. Thank you!!

A two house compound with all the amenities with manicure grounds. A large spa and Poole were welcome edition. Many local tours, such as horseback riding, night walks, ATV, and Hot Springs. Zip lining was available. Also definitely a good value in La Fortuna. Our host was definitely involved and I was asking if we needed anything. Would definitely visit again.

The place was better than advertised, great for hosting large groups, and good Value. It is very remote and private, but still close enough to La Fortuna (20-30 mins). There are little towns closer for quick meals/groceries. Our kids lived the pool. We saw a sloth in the tree across the street! I’d stay here again

Finca Tovar is an absolute beautiful peaceful paradise!!! The main house and Casita are amazing, the pool is always sparkling clean, the grounds are gorgeous! We saw so many tropical animals all around the property! Everything was perfect, beds are clean and comfortable, everything you need is there, you feel like you are at home while staying at Raphael's property! The teenage kids absolutely loved it here also, we were a group of 10, 3 families and never felt crowded! It is about 20 minutes from downtown La Fortuna. The people in this small town are so kind!!! Raphael was so responsive and helpful, answering every question without hesitation, and I asked a lot of questions. I highly recommend having Henry and Jailin make you a traditional breakfast!!! We will be returning to Costa Rica and will stay here every time! The Rainforest was amazing, the warm rain and swimming in the pool. Don't let rainy season scare you away, Raphael's family has created a perfect getaway!!!

We had an amazing stay at Finca Tovar and would highly recommend to others! The house is more beautiful and spacious than is shown in the photos. We especially appreciated having everything fully stocked like kitchen supplies, spices, laundry soap, full-sized toiletries, etc. so we did not have to buy much other than food. Rafael was incredibly responsive and helpful with local recommendations. We had a true pura vida experience and would love to come back!

Unbelievable experience! The house was absolutely amazing, perfect for our large family. We had a blast in the pool and resting on the property! But more than that, Rafael was, hands-down, the best Airbnb host we’ve ever had. He went out of his way to help us navigate a very difficult arrival situation. He solved any issues we had immediately. He went above and beyond in every way. The house was outfitted with everything we needed. Just truly a remarkably memorable experience! Thank you so much, Rafael!! You’re the best!

The pictures did not do it justice. This home is amazing and very comfortable. Spacious, cozy and well stocked from towels to board games to coffee. The pool was fantastic. They came quietly and cleaned it every morning. We felt at home in paradise. Will be back!!
