Fortuna Cozy  House! Nature, Trails, A/C. - Cottages for Rent in La Fortuna, Alajuela, Costa Rica

It's a very nice, beautiful, and quiet place. Perfect for a visit by a small family or a couple!

Es un lugar muy lindo, hermoso y tranquilo. Perfecto para una visita de una familia pequeña o pareja!

Very nice hosting by Silvia. The space was spotless, comfortable, and perfectly matches the photos. The terrace is superb, and we were able to see a couple of deer. Great location for visiting the volcano. Thank you for the fruit upon arrival. We recommend Silvia's place.

Très bel accueil de Silvia. Le logement était impeccable, confortable et parfaitement conforme aux photos. La terrasse est superbe et nous avons pu voir un couple de ara. Bien situé pour visiter le volcan . Merci pour les fruits à notre arrivée. Nous recommandons le logement de Silvia.

Silvia had great recommendations for things to do and places to eat on our stay. They were very accommodating for our last minute trip and we loved the beautiful property! The hammocks were wonderful and beautiful at night as well.

My wife and I enjoyed the Cozy House. It’s right next to a papaya plantation which was fun to see. The location is peaceful and secluded, away from crowds yet conveniently located a short drive to town as well as other attractions. Silvia was very helpful and attentive. We enjoyed sitting in the patio out back and watched the hummingbirds every morning while enjoying our coffee. Beautiful macaws blessed us with a short visit each morning.

Silvia was kind and very helpful.   The area has lots of fun activities.   We went hiking, to 2 different hot springs and Silvia was kind enough to book a horseback riding tour.  Great stay, great host.   The back of the home has a big patio with hammocks- we spent a lot of time there and saw a pair of red macaws nesting nearby

So, our trip started a bit rocky — power went out, we struggled to find the entrance, and there was an invasion of big ants. But the hosts were SO helpful. Power came back, ants left after some spray and didn’t return, and by our first morning we could enjoy the outside, which is stunning. We saw so many birds, including parrots and macaws. WiFi was good. Everything was clean. AC is slow but cools everything down eventually. Location is good — La Fortuna isn’t far. Inside is basic, but functional. If you want something where you can really bird watch, this is tops.

We enjoyed the walking paths behind the property. Located a short drive outside of the main town area. Very friendly host.

First of all, Silvia is a very sweet, helpful and friendly host. Upon arrival, she showed us what was possible in the area in terms of activities and helped us book everything! In the garden, we spotted a lot of animals from the hammock, namely: toucans, different types of parrots, hummingbirds and squirrels. The location itself is quiet and private because you are outside the town itself (about 20 minutes drive) which we liked very much. It is advisable to rent a car. We had a great time here and definitely recommend this Airb&b!

Allereerst is Silvia een ontzettend lieve, behulpzame en vriendelijke host. Bij aankomst liet ze ons zien wat er mogelijk was in de omgeving qua activiteiten en heeft ze ons geholpen om alles te boeken! In de tuin hebben we super veel dieren gespot vanuit de hangmat, namelijk: tucans, verschillende soorten papegaaien, kolibries en eekhoorntjes. De locatie zelf is rustig en privé omdat je buiten het stadje zelf zit (zo’n 20 minuten rijden) wat wij heel fijn vonden. Het is wel aan te raden om een auto te huren. Wij hebben het hier erg naar onze zin gehard en raden deze Airb&b zeker aan!

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 had a fantastic time here! Nice house with a nice space to sit outside. Silvia is very nice and gave us good tips. Highly recommended!

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.

Very responsive. Peaceful and quiet. AC in the bedroom. Water is warm at low pressures. Overall good experience and would come back!

Great host - super helpful with booking experiences!

Diego and Silva were always very friendly and responsive. They offered lots of local recommendations. The house was small and cozy. The back patio was a very nice place to relax, and the walking trails through the rain forest were fun too. It was about 15 minutes outside of La Fortuna (farther than we were expecting), but it was a good balance of privacy and things to do. It was perfect for just my wife and I. Overall, we are very happy with this house and would consider staying here again.

Would not hesitate to recommend staying at the Cozy House hosted by Diego & Silvia. Upon our arrival to the airbnb, Silvia was waiting for us to help us get situated and acquainted with all the amenities the place had to offer. She talked us through all of the different activities that were available to us in La Fortuna. Every single one of her recommendations for things to do were incredibly fun and the companies we booked tours with were all very friendly. Silvia was very helpful in giving us recommendations and made sure we felt comfortable in a new country. We would absolutely book again!

We were in La Fortuna for 3 days and Diego and Silvia were incredible hosts. They were so welcoming and helpful. They provided great recommendations for local places to eat and activities to do. Their cozy house was beautiful space, clean and easy to get into town from. Highly recommend! Thank you Diego and Silvia!

I absolutely loved my stay! The air-con helped us manage the heat. Silvia was so kind and welcoming! It was an easy drive to town and so much to do and see near by. I loved the space and the hammocks. It was great.

Great cottage nice and private and just what we needed these days. Silvia helped us to book for our access maps and a dine for us in Baldi Hotsprings before arrival. Great helpful and responded immediately, our thanks. Chris and Ligia

Geweldig huisje lekker privé en precies wat we nodig hadden deze dagen. Silvia heeft ons geholpen om voor ons toegangs kaarten en een dine voor ons in Baldi Hotsprings te boeken voor aankomst. Geweldig hulpzaam en reageerde direct, onze dank. Chris en Ligia

Silvia always responded very quickly and gave many helpful tips. We tried several of the restaurant recommendations and everyone was great. The mediated night tour was also very good. On the day of arrival, we were very kindly welcomed and beer and ice cream were waiting for us in the fridge. The property is as described. The outdoor terrace was especially nice, where you could have spent the whole day. Since the property is near the main road, unfortunately you don't only hear animal noise, but the hosts can't do anything about it.

Silvia hat immer sehr schnell geantwortet und viele hilfreiche Tipps gegeben. Von den Restaurantempfehlungen haben wir mehrere ausprobiert und alle waren super. Die vermittelte Nachttour war ebenfalls sehr gut. Am Ankunftstag wurden wir sehr freundlich empfangen und im Kühlschrank warteten Bier und Eis auf uns. Die Unterkunft ist so wie beschrieben. Besonders schön war die Außenterasse, wo man den ganzen Tag hätte verbringen können. Da die Unterkunft in der Nähe der Hauptstraße ist, hört man leider nicht nur Tiergeräusche, aber dafür können die Gastgeber ja nichts.

Silvia was a great host. She was very communicative and helpful. The accommodation was very nice and we also liked the terrace with the hammocks very much. Also the adjacent private trail was amazing!

Silvia war eine tolle Gastgeberin. Sie war sehr kommunikativ und hilfsbereit. Die Unterkunft war sehr schön und auch die Terrasse mit den Hängematten hat uns sehr gefallen. Auch der angrenzende private Trail war toll!

We had a great time in this place, full of different birds, nice trail to walk to in the afternoon, and Silvia was so nice and helpful with everything.

A really great place to stay! Silvia welcomed us nicely and answered us immediately with questions! The accommodation has everything you need. We felt very comfortable immediately. We would come back any time. A big thank you to Silvia.

Eine wirklich tolle Unterkunft! Silvia hat uns nett empfangen und bei Fragen sofort geantwortet! Die Unterkunft hat alles was man braucht. Wir haben uns sofort sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen. Ein großes Dankeschön an Silvia.

Diego & Silvia’s guest house was a perfect patch of existence, the house is just what you need to come home and relax after a long day of adventure. The outdoor patio and walkable trail were an 11/10 experience. Silvia is incredibly kind and responsive!

Silvia's Cozy Cottage House is lovely. Silvia was there to greet us as we arrived, after helping us with directions along the way as we are directionally callenged! We were still waiting for one of our suitcases 4 days after our arrival in Costa Rica, and Silvia and Diego were both extremely helpful in assisting us in retrieving it. The location is great. It's a short drive into town where there are restaurants, grocery stores, etc. Having an air conditioner in the bedroom was a nice bonus, and we were still able to hear birds chirping in the morning. Silvia arranged a wonderful whitewater rafting trip for us, and was in regular communication with us to see if we were all set with everything we needed. I would highly recommend staying at Sylvia's cottage house if you are in the area.

Absolutely gorgeous place to stay. Very relaxing. We were travelling with our young son and Sylvia was extremely helpful and accommodating. A fantastic little cottage - great for families

Silvia is one of the best hosts I've ever had. My son, at the end of the vacation, said " I love this casita." It was a very welcoming stay.

Silvia es de las mejores anfitriones que he tenido. Mi hijo, al terminar las vacaciones dijo " amo esta casita" . Fue una estancia muy acogedora.

Silvia was super helpful, sweet and responsive. Highly recommend this place for those adventuring around Arenal, the hot springs, and fortuna waterfall / the la fortuna area.

We loved staying at the Cozy country house. Beautiful back patio, comfortable accommodations. Silvia was very nice and provided great recommendations. We took a tour of the nearby Eden coffee and chocolate tour upon her recommendation and was not disappointed! We’ll be recommending friends to stay here if ever in CR. Pura Vida!

Place is about 15 minutes outside of downtown Fortuna which I ended up liking, not having to be in the middle of all the commotion in downtown at the end of the night. Patio was awesome to just relax, enjoy some good Imperial beer, listen to the night rain and play some music. And being that it’s further from the touristy downtown area it’ll encourage you to explore more local vibes. Silvia was also a pleasure to deal with. Pura Vida 🍻

Sylvia was a precious help to us, lost in the night after a traffic accident she guided us by phone until we arrived at her home where we spent 2 days repairing in a frame at the height of what is announced. We highly recommend.

Sylvia nous a été d'un précieux secours, perdu dans la nuit après un accident de la circulation elle nous a guidé par téléphone jusqu'a ce qu'on arrive chez elle ou nous avons passé 2 jours réparateur dans un cadre à la hauteur de ce qui est annoncé. Nous recommandons vivement.

My husband and I loved our stay at the Cozy Country House! It was perfect for our needs. We are very much "adventure" people and spent the majority of our time out of the airbnb, doing hikes, activities, etc. Diego was helpful in booking and responsive with all questions. If you are looking for an airbnb that you will "hang out" in a lot, this might not be the best choice. If you are looking for a comfortable, safe, clean place to return to after a day of adventuring, this is perfect! The kitchen is clean and complete, as is the bathroom. Locationally, the airbnb is around 15 minutes from downtown. It is out in the countryside, so you don't have to worry about disturbances, crime, etc. That being said, it is slightly less convenient than an airbnb that is right next to the city. Overall we loved our stay. Costa Rica is a beautiful vacation option and we highly recommend eating at local spots such as Victorinos, Soda Rio, Soda la hormiga, etc.

Silvia was a fantastic host. The house was super cozy and had a ton of amenities. We were greeted with a few arrangements of flowers in the house as well as cookies and a fresh cut pineapple in the fridge. Plenty of activities around town but they weren’t my taste. I think this would be a perfect place for a small family or a couple who enjoy the more commercial and touristy options.

Silvia was such an amazing host and her place is incredible!! My wife and I were initially staying at a 3 star hotel in La Fortuna and we didn’t feel comfortable staying there due to large insects, no hot water, geckos, etc. We found Silvia’s place the same morning we checked out out of the hotel and were amazed with how quickly she communicated to us that her place was available! Once we arrived, Silvia greeted us with fresh fruit and cookies, and gave us so many great restaurant recommendations. Silvia’s place was super clean, tidy, and literally felt like our home away from home. I’ve already informed 2 of my friends to stay at Silvia’s place when they visit Costa Rica. Thank you so much Silvia for making our stay so enjoyable :) we will definitely come stay again when we visit La Fortuna again!

What a beautiful home to stay in Costa Rica! Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but close enough to visit (about a 15min drive).  Silvia is the most responsive, helpful, kindest host ever! We had many delays with our flight to Costa Rica and Silvia went above and beyond to call our car service when we didn’t have service to make sure our rental car would be there when we arrived. She recommended a ton of activities to do and some amazing restaurants to try! I would recommend Silvia’s home above all in La Fortuna!! You won’t be disappointed and the kindness from Silvia will not go unnoticed! She’s wonderful!!

I stayed at Cozy Country House for two nights with my husband. I made reservations just a few hours before checking in. Silvia accepted my reservation request promptly and the check-in was super easy. The next day she shared information about restaurants and activities in the area. Throughout our stay she responded to my messages quickly, which I really appreciated. Their backyard is very beautiful and we enjoyed the hammocks. We didn’t use the grill but it would’ve been nice to grill and just chill at the backyard one night. The house was simple, clean, and just enough for our needs because we were out all day and back at night. Five stars for Silvia & Diego! :)

The value is 100%, we had everything we could need and more! From arriving and meeting Silvias father to Diego and Silvia booking our coffee, chocolate, sugar cane tours as well as the rafting adventures with the traditional Costa Rican lunch. This host is dedicated and willing to do anything to make your stay truly memorable! Pura Vida

We loved our time! The property was very private and surrounded by well maintained and beautiful gardens and property.  The home was very clean but the outdoor private patio was our favorite! We watched many birds as we enjoyed our meals outside. Thanks

This has been my second stay at the Cozy Country House and I've already reserved my third stay.  If that doesn't say enough, let me tell you that the house is perfect for one person or a couple and Silvia goes above and beyond every time to make sure your stay is perfect.

Everything is as offered, the place is magnificent. The service is very good, close to many very touristy places. Lots of peace and privacy.

Todo es como lo ofrecido, el lugar magnífico. La atención es muy buena, cerca de muchos lugares muy turísticos. Mucha paz y mucha privacidad.

Cozy Country House is great place to stay.  It's in a very quiet and peaceful area outside of La Fortuna, but not so far to be inconvenient.  It is surrounded by beautiful landscaping.  It's very clean and comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped.  Silvia is a perfect host.  She is very responsive and always available to help in any way including advice on tours and the best restaurants.  She also provided fresh fruit and coconuts upon arrival.  You will not be disappointed with your stay here.

This place is awesome! The hosts were ready for us to arrive, showed us exactly where to park etc. This house was in a quiet area which was appreciated. The original Airbnb location before booking appeared to be just outside La Fortuna, however this is approximately 15 minutes from town center. The outdoor area was the best spot with two hammocks included and some walking trails behind the house. The hosts also gave us a papaya and provided all ingredients for coffee which was great!

We booked the place, went and left right away. It was incredibly dirty, everywhere termites, dead bugs under the bed, huge spider webs everywhere, the wooden table in the garden was littered with spider nets in which spiders live. Extremely unsanitary... I'm so sorry to have to leave such a bad review, but the cleanliness left over, and with the price I expect hygiene and absolute cleanliness!

Wir haben die Unterkunft gebucht, sind hingefahren und gleich wieder abgereist. Es war unglaublich dreckig, überall Termiten, tote Käfer unter dem Bett, riesige Spinnennetze überall, der Holztisch im Garten war übersät mit Spinnennetze in welchen Spinnen hausten. Extrem unhygienisch.. tut mir sehr leid eine so schlechte Bewertung hinterlassen zu müssen, aber die Sauberkeit liess zu Wünschen übrig, und bei dem Preis erwarte ich Hygiene und absolute Sauberkeit!

It was a pleasure to spend time in Cozy Country House. The communication was perfect. We have some issues with arrival and they had no problem with that and did their best to get us satisfied. Also we got recommendation for activities for good prices. We experienced Chocolate caffee sugar cane tour and Baldi hot springs. We really enjoyed our stay.

The place was the best during our Costa Rica trip. It's clean, very lovingly designed and the terrace is really great. However, mosquito repellent is essential if you want to spend the evening outside! We've never been treated so warmly and hospitable. There were plenty of recommendations for activities in the area, as well as support booking. The property is really great with all kinds of flora and fauna. There were plenty of hummingbirds and other colorful birds and even a sloth once. The hostess and her family gave us a tour of the beautiful garden. We'd come back anytime we're in the country!

Die Unterkunft war die beste während unserer Costa Rica Reise. Es ist sauber, sehr liebevoll gestaltet und die Terrasse ist echt toll. Mückenschutz ist allerdings unerlässlich wenn man den Abend draußen verbringen möchte! Wir wurden noch nie so herzlich und gastfreundlich behandelt. Es gab reichlich Empfehlungen für Aktivitäten in der Umgebung, sowie Unterstützung beim Buchen derer. Das Grundstück ist wirklich toll mit allerhand Flora und Fauna. Es gab reichlich Kolibris und andere kunterbunte Vögel und ein Mal sogar ein Faultier. Die Gastgeberin und ihre Familie haben uns hierzu eine Führung durch den wunderschönen Garten gegeben. Wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen, wenn wir im Lande sind!

Silvia & Diego are truly amazing hosts and it’s very clear that they care a lot about making sure their guests have the best experience possibly. Days before we arrived Silvia gave us a list of a bunch of activities that she could book for us if we wanted and she handled everything. All we had to do was show up and enjoy ourselves (we highly recommend rafting, so much fun). She also texted us to check in and see how things are going several times which we really appreciated because it made us feel safe - like if something went wrong or we got hurt we had someone we could reach out to. Their property is really beautiful, I wish we could’ve stayed longer to enjoy it more. All sorts of birds, geckos, frogs, etc. The house has everything you need - wifi, a/c and a hot shower. Food recommendations: Anywhere. Every place we’ve eaten at in Costa Rica so far has been, some of the best food I’ve ever had. Don’t stay at a hotel, stay at an Airbnb with good hosts and your stay will be so much more enjoyable. Thank you Silvia/Diego!

Beautiful private home with air-conditioning and WiFi!  Great host!  She was very responsive to my questions and concerns!    Will be back again!

Beautiful little well-equipped house, with a nice terrace with hammock in a quiet garden where you can let yourself be lulled by the birdsong. Perfect welcome and cut pineapple for us in the fridge! Fast and easy communication. Location a little far from La Fortuna, but with a car it's good, the road is in good condition.

Superbe petite maison bien équipée, avec une jolie terrasse avec hamac dans un jardin tranquille où on peut se laisser bercer par le chant des oiseaux. Accueil parfait et ananas coupé pour nous dans le frigo! Communication rapide et facile. Localisation un peu loin de La Fortuna, mais avec une voiture ça se fait bien, la route est en bon état.

This place is amazing and Silvia is a terrific host. We stayed here with our 1 year old baby and it was perfectly comfortable, very clean and had everything we needed. The best part is the relaxing and serene back patio and the gardens surrounding the place. We took a walk through the gardens every morning and saw the most amazing flowers and lots of birds. It was truly heavenly. We will definitely stay here again in the future. I highly reccomend this place.

Silvia’s place was very cozy and perfect for our trip to La Fortuna. It had AC for the hot nights, a BBQ in the back, and to top it all off: 2 coconuts in the fridge!

Silvia is such a generous host, we had a great time staying at her beautiful place. She was very welcoming and gave us excellent suggestions for where to go and also got us great deals on the tours. Our 5 year old daughter loved the backyard, where she spent most of her time on the hammock. We felt so close to nature with lovely birds singing in the backyard. Silvia was very responsive and helpful for all our needs, we had a vomit accident with our daughter and had to check-in early. Silvia helped us with all the cleaning supplies and also welcomed us with fresh pineapple from her farm. My family loved our 3 night stay and would highly recommend this place to small families. She also has a small trail through her backyard, where we saw humming birds too. Thank you Silvia for making our stay memorable. Appreciate all your generosity and kindness.

Silvia was really very nice and made lots of suggestions for things to do. The communication was great. On the property we could see many hummingbirds and the terrace was very cozy. It is about 15 min outside of La Fortuna, so you need a car.

Silvia war wirklich sehr nett und hat viele Vorschläge für Unternehmungen gemacht. Die Kommunikation war super. Auf dem Grundstück konnten wir viele Kolibris sehen und die Terrasse war sehr gemütlich. Es liegt ca. 15 min außerhalb von La Fortuna, man braucht also ein Auto.

Such an amazing place! Silvia is awesome, gave so many great recommendations. We had such a wonderful time.

Amazing host. Silvia booked us a grate horseback riding and hot spring at Los Lagos hot spring. Great value . We did horseback riding from 8:30-10:30 and spent the rest of the day at Las Lagos. I highly recommend it. The cottage is a perfect size for a couple or couple with 1-2 young kids. Back yard was great. On our arrival I was surprised by seeing fresh flowers in the living room and bathroom and a plate of cut pineapple awaiting  us . You need to have a car to stay in this cottage as it is 15 min drive from town. Cottage is off a main road so no need to drive on an unpaved road to get there which is a plus but sometimes you can hear the cars driving by. Overall we were very happy with our stay and will return again.

Silvia is a great host. She is very communicative and responsive. She showed us the place and also things to do in La Fortuna with some great deals. The place is comfortable for 3. The backyard was awesome as shown in the picture. There are lot of birds in the morning which may a bit noisy. I liked it personally. If you are a bird lover then this is the spot.

We liked it very attentive. The manager helped us with ideas Very clean. Good location, 10 kilometers from the fortune, but it lasts 15 minutes by car maximum Very safe. It has all the services TV with Netflix that's a plus We liked it and hope to return

Nos gustó mucho Muy atenta la encargada, nos ayudó con ideas Muy limpio Buena ubicación a 10 kilómetros de la fortuna pero se dura 15 minutos en carro máximo Muy seguro Cuenta con todos los servicios TV con Netflix que es un plus Nos gustó y esperamos regresar

This air Bnb is perfect! Silvia was very communicative before arriving and then when we arrived showed us all the fun things to do and places to see. She was a perfect resource and very very helpful! The air Bnb was very clean and had everything we needed and the AC was powerful which was amazing! We enjoyed the beautiful air Bnb that was private but close enough to the city! Definitely would come back to this air Bnb again:)

Silvia is the perfect host for an amazing Airbnb getaway. The place is cozy, and the backyard patio is stunning. Silvia gave us lots of useful advice about the best things to do while in La Fortuna. The A/C in the bedroom was fantastic. Tips for other travelers: Having a car was really convenient while staying here. Earplugs helped us sleep in to 9am. Bring someone brave enough to shoe away any stray spiders.

Nice place to enjoy the birds and the heliconias .

I can’t imagine having a better time during our stay at Diego and Silvia’s place and that is without a doubt thanks to Silvia. She went far beyond all expectations one might have making our trip as memorable as anyone could have. I look forward to returning.

Silvia was so lovely as we checked in she showed us all the potential things we could do in the area. Was SUPER helpful and helped us booked TWO amazing tours, hot springs and the river safari. Definitely book through her as she gets special deals too and knows her stuff! Place was lovely and has everything you need to cook a great meal! Thanks so much!

Loved the place! Beautiful surroundings with trails through a lush jungle setting. Very nice outdoor “covered” patio with grill, sink, seating & comfortable hammocks. They were very helpful planning it many amazing excursions, and provided transportation to and from the airport, and excursions as needed. Thanks so much & Pura Vida!!!

Silvia is probably the most helpful and kind airbnb host I have ever met. She helped us with literally everything and surpised us with some very tasty fruits. We were completely blown away by her kindness. Also the house is wonderful. The back garden with hammocks, bbq and table/chairs looks way better in real life than on pics. There are fairy lights over it and its just the cosiest place to hang out. We worked from the house the whole week and Wifi was super fast and consistent. Honestly couldnt have asked for anything better :) Pro tip- rent a scooter instead of a car. Its way more fun and cheaper

Nice apartment with a great patio with hammocks to relax. Silvia was a great host and helped us with booking a nice tour to caño negro. We would definitely stay there again

This was a great place to stay just outside of La Fortuna. It felt very comfortable and private, and having the back patio was awesome. Lots of beautiful bird noises in the morning! Silvia was out of town while we were there, but she was very communicative via WhatsApp and her dad was very kind and showed us around when we checked in. There is a bit of road noise from trucks going by, so bring earplugs if you’re a sensitive/light sleeper.

Silvia was an incredible host, she waited for us to arrive on the road in the rain, she gave us genuine advice as to the surrounding area and booked a tour for us even after we’d left. The place was super cosy and had everything we need, including welcome pineapple! I have no doubt to recommend Silvia’s place for anyone to stay to have a pura vida.

A beautiful house with a great terrace.  We had nice days there.  Everything can be reached in a few minutes by car.  There are also many interesting sights.  Silvia is very helpful and tells you everything you need to know :)

Great place to stay! I can only recommend it! The hosts are very kind!

Tolle Unterkunft! Kann ich nur weiter empfehlen! Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich!

Amazing hosts, super accessible, accommodating and resourceful!  Gave great recommendations on everything requested: restaurants, supermarkets, etc.  Highly recommend and would definitely go back if returning to La Fortuna!

Silvia's place is absolutely stunning. It has all you need and it is a great base for Arenal exploration. The birds are all around - especially in the morning. Just open your eyes :-)))

Diego & Silvia's place is perfect! Their place is a must stay! My now fiancé and I stayed here several days on vacation. It's a clean, cute, and cozy little get away for relaxing and recouping after a fun days activities and adventures in La Fortuna. Hammocks, so many beautiful flowers and birds including humming birds, and a friendly dog are just a few of the things that make their little farm so cozy and perfect. Silvia is very kind and not only gave the very best recommendations but also booked all of our actives for us in La Fortuna during our stay which made everything very simple and easy for us. Every recommendation Silvia gave was the very best for activities, restaurants, messages, hikes, and so on. We ate at the Victorinos restaurant she recommended three different times because it was so good! The other restaurants were amazing too! Definitely book this place you won't be disappointed!

the cottage is nice, even though the kitchen is rather small given the abundance of equipment. The traffic from the nearby street was annoying and started very early. The garden and sitting area was beautiful though!

Fantastic place to stay and wish it were longer. About a 10 minute drive into town. Everything was very clean and Silvia was extremely communicative and helpful. *bonus was the private covered patio in the back with lights to have drinks and play cards under.

We very much enjoyed our stay with Diego & Silvia. They helped us arrange transport and activities which was great. Their recommendations for things to do in the area were very helpful (go rafting !!). We did not have a car which made things a little challenging, but still doable. The space was nice— especially the outdoor patio with hammocks and a beautiful table. Very friendly and respectful hosts!

Really cute little house with wonderful backyard, very clean. It has a small kitchen good for preparing simple meals for breakfast/dinner. We stayed 3 nights and had a great time. It was awesome that we could watch Netflix before sleeping (we were watching Narcos 😆). Location is perfect if you have a car. Silvia was very welcoming and nice. She booked us a coffee tour we really enjoyed.

Very nice place to relax and enjoy nature. The house has everything you need. Silvia is very sweet and helpfull if you want to do activities.

This is a great place away from the hustle and bustle (and traffic) of the main towns, true living with nature!  Directions and check-in went very smoothly, Silvia was very helpful and stayed in communication the whole time. Her recommendations were great as well.  We were provided with some of the best coconuts we've had (and we grew up in Brazil!).  Even the toys for our daughter was a great touch.  There was a problem with the Internet initially but they went above and beyond to help us address that.

If you have a rental car this place is perfect to escape the loud area of La Fortuna. Silvia was helping us a lot by giving us tips and even organising some tours for us!

Excellent location,  a spectacular place, in contact  with nature, everything is easily accessible, I highly recommend it!!!

Excelente ubicación,  un lugar espectacular, en contacto  con la naturaleza, todo es de fácil acceso, lo súper recomiendo!!!

A private place, quiet, the only difficult thing is the wi Fi signal that for the location of the place none of the operators manage to connect, it is a place to be totally secluded, Silvia is an excellent host. Thank you very much!

Un lugar privado, tranquilo, lo único difícil es la señal de wi Fi que por la ubicación del lugar ninguna de las operadoras se logra conectar, es un lugar para estar totalmente apartado, Silvia es una excelente anfitriona. Muchas gracias!

The place is very nice and tidy, very nice and tidy

El lugar muy bonito y ordenado, los dueños muy atentos

This is a great spot to stay while visiting La Fortuna. Silvia is wonderful. She’ll get you signed up for any activities that you’d like to do in the area, ask her for recommendations! There was a delicious pineapple waiting for us upon arrival. Silvia was very responsive to anything we needed & communication with her was easy.

Fair house for a couple's getaway, lots of privacy and a lot of help from reception to meal recommendations

Casa justo para un escape en pareja, mucha privacidad y mucha ayuda por parte de Silvia desde el recibimiento hasta las recomendaciones de comidas

Excellent place, we loved the location, the place is super beautiful and private, we recommend it and we would be happy to come back.

Excelente lugar, nos encanto la ubicación, el lugar es super hermoso y privado, lo recomendamos y volveríamos encantados.

Friendly house outside the city, Silvia is very nice and smiling, she will give you all the information about sightseeing. We spent 3 nights and this is a minimum to visit the area. Two good tips: the free hot springs next to the Tabacon hotel (the one on the left, just past the Tabacon) and  the El Jardin de Frida restaurant for its extraordinary pancakes, excellent cafe and latte chai, super nice setting and great music, not to be missed!!it's on the main street of La Fortuna on the right towards the Volcan.

Sympathique maison en dehors de la ville, Silvia est très chouette et souriante, elle vous donnera tout les renseignements sur les visites à faire. Nous avons passés 3 nuits et c’est un minimum pour visiter la région. Deux bons plans: les sources chaudes gratuites à côté de l’hôtel Tabacon ( celle à gauche, juste après le Tabacon) ET  le restaurant El Jardin de Frida pour ses pancakes extraordinaire, son excellent café et son chaï latte , le cadre super agréable et la musique au top, à ne pas rater!!c’est sur la rue principale de La Fortuna à droite en direction du Volcan.

Great place and location! Our host was very personal and gave us plenty of awesome recommendations. She suggested wonderful places to eat and things to do. Great value :)

Sylvia’s guest house is a perfect place to stay for travelers who want access to La Fortuna but want to be out of the hustle and bustle of town. The house is beautiful and the patio is truly awesome. We enjoyed walking the property and seeing all of the tropical flowers and plants. Sylvia truly cares about her guests and is so quick to help with recommendations and reservations. She even helped us when we needed to reroute our travels in Costa Rica due to flooding. We couldn’t have asked for a more lovely host. And Preciosa lives up to her name.

Silvia greeted us as we pulled in. She and Diego were wonderful hosts. The house is delightful, with the back patio being a perfect place to relax after a day of hiking. The house was clean, accessible and exactly what we were looking for.

Beautiful and quiet place to relax. Great communication and hospitality 👌🏼

Precioso y tranquilo lugar para el descanso. Excelente comunicación y hospitalidad 👌🏼

Silvia is great! Very welcoming and supportive with whatever needs you have. The internet was an issue but we were able to solve the problem. I would recommend the B&B for a short stay if you need to get away🙃🙂

We loved this house and the setting! Silvia was very accommodating and gifted us with fresh papaya and coconuts. It’s a great place to stay with everything you could need.

Very nice place, comfortable and with everything you need to rest! Very attentive Silvia, thank you so much!!

Muy bonito lugar, cómodo y con lo necesario para descansar! Muy atenta Silvia, muchas gracias!
