Holiday rentals with a fire pit in El Castillo

Beautiful place in a gorgeous area. Very private and serene. One of the best places we have ever stayed. Didn’t want to leave!

Close to many attractions. Walkable to town but very dark and hilly, but with adult children this was very doable. Town was cute w many souvenir shops, coffee shops, bakeries and restaurants. House very comfortable and spacious.

Our stay at this house was simply spectacular. The design is beautiful, very eye-catching, yet incredibly practical. Everything is thoughtfully arranged to make you feel comfortable and at home from the very beginning. The kitchen is fully equipped. The bathrooms are spacious and functional, and the beds are truly comfortable, ensuring a restful sleep. Another highlight is the location: in a peaceful, nature-filled setting, away from the tourist crowds but still close enough to all the main attractions in the area. Exactly what we were looking for. What surprised us most was the sense of serenity the house offers. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s an experience in itself. That’s why we recommend that anyone visiting not only use it as a base to explore the area but also take time to enjoy the house itself: the peace, the natural surroundings, and the special moments shared with loved ones. Another plus is the host, Esteban, who took great care of us.

What a gem above the clouds of Monteverde! Tobi and his family have created an amazing place to getaway and enjoy the mountains. There was so much wildlife and the accommodations were super comfortable and quiet. Tobi’s family’s restaurant is “Stella’s” (just down the mountain) and it is awesome as well. Tobi had excellent recommendations and connections. He is super helpful and friendly. My only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. Next time…!

We had a wonderful stay! The home was cozy, spacious, and surrounded by beautiful nature—perfect for anyone looking to relax and unplug. What made it extra special was the horseback tour through the property, where we got to see local wildlife and enjoy fresh juice at the end. Jose and his family were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home.

Fabian was really fast at responding, and would check up on us if we needed anything. Super helpful and was willing to help with everything. Everything is like in the pictures but even better

The other reviews are correct. This place is even more beautiful in person. We did not the amount of space, how clean it was, and how luxurious it felt. It was like being in a resort. Even the way its designed was gorgeous. It was 4 adults and 2 kids and we all loved it. The kids especially loved the pool and how low it was and we loved the convenience of the market directly across the street. Also everything is a short taxi ride away. And to top it off, the one day pass at Las Logas Resort was awesome. We spent hours there walking the grounds and enjoying the hotsprings pools!! This is definitely one of the best airbnbs we've stayed at offering so many amenities withing close proximity to downtown and other attractions. Also the host Rebecca was very responsive! Be careful to follow the instructions when checking in because you will be lost. Thanks again Rebecca!

Our experience at Raquel’s home couldn’t have been better. The place was beautiful, as was the location, scenery and wildlife. Joshua was beyond helpful with everything we needed and more. We felt fully immersed in the culture. We had breakfast at her parents just down the road and they treated us like family. We could not have enjoyed ourselves more and cannot say anything but wonderful things about everyone we encountered during our stay. We would 100% recommend one of their beautiful homes and will stay with them again when we make it back to Costa Rica. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you all for making our time in La Fortuna so special. We wish we didn’t have to leave. Until next time…

Raquel’s place was amazing! Raquel was very responsive, kind and helpful. The home was great, very clean and cozy. The location is great as well! It’s a 10 minute walk to the grocery store, and a three minute walk to a great restaurant. I highly recommend staying here!

An excellent place, very quiet and good view of the Arenal volcano.

Juan's place was CLEAN, nice pots, pans, flatware, great fridge, BEAUTIFUL wood ceilings, comfortable couch, beautiful and clean bathroom. The wifi worked very well. Me and my guest were very impressed with the room. It is so clean that you can actually let your children sit and play on the floors. Juan was very accommodating. He kindly helped me by allowing me to do a late check-in. He was very responsive to my needs and questions. He suggested a great location to go eat and the food was good! This room is right near town. Definitely walkable to restaurants, stores, and places of interest in both directions! The cost of this room was well worth it! My only issue: No side tables in the bedrooms. There was nowhere to set my glasses or cell phone before bed time except on the shelf in front of the bed. No lamps in the bedrooms; you have to keep the bright ceiling lights on when it's late and you want to wind down. Lights had greenish hue. But this room was still awesome!

This place was AMAZING and exceeded our expectations! Adorable little condo, bedrooms very comfortable, and the view of the volcano FROM MY BED… was breathtaking! This is exactly where I will be next time I visit La Fortuna! Thank you!

Randall is a great host, very kind. I really liked the house, it was very comfortable, organized and clean. Close to the center of fortune, and it sleeps very well

Hi Jennifer as an excellent host, Esteban is also super friendly, attentive to our needs. A super quiet place, spacious, I loved that it is so natural, that they separate the waste. The pools are not so chlorinated. They were always willing and attentive, very friendly. Great place, super recommended 🤗

Maria's home is tucked in a beautiful and private, but also convenient location by Lake Arenal. Maria is so welcoming, responsive, and made my birthday trip extra special with a few accommodations/touches! Would definitely return and highly recommend others.

This is one of the best places I’ve ever stayed. The atmosphere is peaceful, incredibly relaxing, and the surroundings are absolutely beautiful. Breakfast was fantastic, and having a chat with Paul was truly a blessing. Thank you, Paul and Carole, for such a wonderful experience. I’ll definitely be visiting again!

We loved our stay at this special place in Monteverde! We were left some beautiful fresh eggs and told to help ourselves to the awesome herbs and veggies in the garden. Such a gorgeous view and lovely space perfect for catching up on sleep while exploring the awesome area.

This place is magical! The property is very well maintained with lush greens and massive swimming pool. It got everything you need, a small kitchen, big bed, clean bathroom. A lot shared space to hang out and chill. AND a chance to see sloth on the property. The host and property manager is super welcoming and friendly. The fresh milk and eggs are nice touches to make the stay feels like home. Highly recommend to everyone!

A lovely house in the mountains with lots of big windows; bright, airy and offering stunning views! The house was even nicer than in the photos! It’s perfectly tucked away in nature, with no city noise, just the peaceful sounds of the cloudforest. We truly loved the tranquility of the place. You feel like you’re alone in the world, yet Monteverde is just a 10-minute drive away. Absolutely the best!

This property was absolutely stunning and peaceful! We were able to see some wildlife such as birds, frogs, fishes and cows. Johan was very quick to respond and proactive.

Friendly and very attentive host!

The Cabin in San Carlos is a special place located 7-8 minutes from downtown La Fortuna, offering private horseback rides around the farm, walkways making the forest an explorers paradise and a comfortable home for resting in a serene space! Arriving late in town from San Jose, we opted to do the horseback ride, and it helped set the mood for a wonderful trip around Costa Rica, providing a unique timely experience of the native wildlife, with views of the volcano. After the horseback ride, the owners took us into their arms taking the time to explain varios plants, shared a local pineapple beverage, cacao and in search for amphibians, including seeing the elusive red eyed tree frog which was a treat! The home provides a firm mattress with plenty of kitchen space. An outdoor area with seating to enjoy a morning coffee and a small jacuzzi tub, with a unique private outdoor shower attached to the room. Overall, highly recommend staying here and soaking in a more private CR experience!

For the moment we saw we knew it was for us everything was spotless well equipped with everythingwe need it Mony was very nice to work and communicate with very quick to respond

Christina is an amazing host! She is always responsive, and knows the area very well. The breakfasts were amazing and comprehensive. Being able to walk to dinner at Selina was great as well as Monteverde. Walking to an art gallery and family-fun cafetal (coffee farm), albeit down the mountain, was challenging yet awesome. Pura Vida!
