Fortuna Cozy House! Nature, Trails, A/C.

We stayed at 5 different places during our trip to Costa Rica and this was easily our favorite! It is about 20 minutes from town but we are from a small city so the drive felt like nothing. Better yet, it helped being away from all the traffic of the area. There is ton to do here and it really felt like a cute home. The hostess is wonderful and very helpful.

5 stars — Beyond Amazing Stay! Silvia was absolutely incredible. Not only was her place beautiful and comfortable, but she went above and beyond to make our entire week unforgettable. She personally helped schedule all of our adventures—everything from white water rafting and zip lining to ATV tours and rappelling. She even arranged all the pickups so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. On top of that, she gave us tons of helpful recommendations for local restaurants, bakeries, fruit stands, banks, and supermarkets. Her hospitality and attention to detail made this one of the best trips we’ve ever taken. Highly recommend!

Amazing place to stay! Sylvia is very fast to respond and super helpful! She helped give us a ton of recommendations that did not disappoint.

I have to start off by thanking and complimenting Silvia. I’ve never had a host communicate as proactively and warmly as Silvia did. She helped us book activities and was ever available when we got lost trying to get to the home (our fault), even greeting us at check in. The home is exactly as it looks and is very cozy. In our opinion, its best feature is its location. No activity is too far (45 mins was the longest we travelled and that was to Mistico Hanging Bridges, everything else was within 20-30 mins). The other great feature is the backyard and grounds. The home is on a papaya farm, which made one of our slower mornings very fulfilling. The patio was relaxing after a long day of hiking and physical activity. We sat out at night and looked at stars and swung on the hammocks :) Not a knock on the home itself but just be prepared for insects around. They did not get in the home often but since it’s a warm humid climate, they are around (it took us a day to get used to).

What can I say about Silvia that has not already been said. She is VERY responsive!!! The actual cottage wouldn’t come up on my GPS, so she gave me another location and waited for us. She gave the most amazing recommendations for places to eat and both “sodas” were great!! We also visited the supermarket she recommended too. Although we booked our own tours, Silvia was more than willing to help do that too. She is a great hostess!! 10/10 we’d do it again!

We spent three nights at Silvia’s place and we can definitely recommend it. When we arrived Silvia was already waiting for us and showed us the place. She stayed with us and went through all possible activities in the area which we were very grateful for because we didn’t have the time to plan ahead. To our big surprise she organized our activities as well. She was very helpful and flawless in her communication. The place is 10 minutes away from la Fortuna which is really not a big deal if you have a car, it’s literally just down the street. We really enjoyed our time and thanks to Silvia for her support and her hospitality.

We hebben hier een fantastische tijd gehad! Fijn huis met een mooie ruimte om buiten te zitten. Silvia is heel aardig en heeft ons goede tips gegeven. Zeker een aanrader!

Sylvia and Diego were great hosts! When we walked in we were welcomed with beautiful flowers, ice cream and beer! The place was very quiet and secluded which is what we were looking for. They also gave us a list of restaurants which we found very useful! Great hosts!

The appartment was clean and cosy. A little touch at our arrival was highly appreciated 🙏🏼 Sylvia understood very quickly our needs and the fact that as globetrotters, we were looking for authenticity and local vibes. Thanks to her advice and openness, we managed to experience a memorable local feria and to taste some local food. It was our favorite part! Thank you for your precious help and kindness Sylvia! 👩🏻‍🌾

Silvia was an exceptional host, extremely helpful and responsive. She provided the name of a good driver to get to town and pick up food at the local soda (the food was good). I didn't have a car so that was very helpful. The bed is comfortable and the setting was nice, lots of birds visiting the yard. The AC was good. The shower head could be better, there is a nice large shower but the water only comes out very close to the walls. Excellent wifi 56 Mbps; Latency unloaded 8 ms, loaded 131 ms; Upload Speed 35 Mbps.
