Gorgeous Villa in spectacular setting

This is a brand new architect designed custom house that sits on an amazing property on the road going to the famous La Fortuna waterfall. Exotic woods, granite counter tops, expansive patio areas, very large pool and water gardens are just some of the details that you will enjoy when you come to spend time at this special retreat. The pool is the most elegant private pool in the area. Only 4 mins. to the center of La Fortuna, but it has the feeling of being in the country side with views into the forest with toucans and other friendly wildlife in residence.
While the house could accommodate 8-10 people we limit the max to 5 guest so that everyone has plenty of space, unlike most properties in the area that claim to accommodate many people in a limited space this luxury property is meant to be enjoyed by max. 5 people.
We offer full concierge services to assisted you to maximizing your enjoyment on this spectacular area.

We invite you to explore our listing on other short term rental sites where there are several other very positive reviews
We can arrange for local excursions and assist with all your travel plans including transport to the house from anywhere in the country. We also offer discounts on all local activities and arrange for pick up at the villa for all of your excursions - white water rafting, zip lining, hiking in the national park etc.

This gives you the option of not having to rent a vehicle and eliminating the stress of driving. The center of Fortuna is only a mile from the house and is a $4 taxi ride if you want to go for shopping or dining, etc, Uber is also an option.

Amidst the recent pandemic, the government’s strong action has been effective, and has been lauded by both national and international press for handling the pandemic in an effective way. Costa Rica is a small country, with a small population. The further you travel from San Jose, the population decreases drastically, making La Fortuna an ideal location to social distance. Nearby, here are both public and private healthcare systems for tourists and visitors that can be utilized depending on the individual’s health insurance. Moreover, paying out of pocket is significantly less expensive than in much of the Western world. We want you to feel safe traveling to beautiful Costa Rica, as the government slowly reopens to the rest of the world. Feel free to reach out with any questions regarding the virus or your stay.

Two stars!
My husband and I stayed here for three days while visiting Costa Rica for a month. The location of the house is perfect. The house itself is a very nice house but needs a lot of attention. It was very dirty and although it says no pets there was pet hair everywhere. The kitchen is not very well stocked. We could not even find a bowl to mix a salad in. It states that there is a barbecue grill which there is not. The landscaping around the house has grown up terribly. The property has changed tremendously from when the pictures were taken.

Great Location, House Needs Attention
Start with the good: The location is great. 5 min to La Fortuna waterfall (must see), 5 min to La Fortuna (cute town with whatever you need), 20 - 30 min to hot springs, Arenal, and ziplining. The house itself is interesting. Lots of artwork to look at, great wood smell, high ceilings, very long pool, nice grounds. We saw several toucans out in the trees while having coffee on the patio. 6-7 people would be comfortable here. It is very secure, and cows live next door. The place needs a good cleaning and sprucing up. bathrooms were clean, but the toilet seats are loose. Kitchen stove was not clean and we washed all dishes before use. There is no dishwasher. Kitchen equipment is sparse (one pan, a few pots, old coffee maker) but we made it work. Check-in was... OK - after an arduous car trip from Quepos (everything you've heard about Costa Rican roads is true), we missed the 75-minute window to meet the property manager there, so we had to drive into La Fortuna to get the key and find out which gate led to the house. She was very nice and was in continuous contact to make sure everything was good. The host was responsive to my questions after booking. Word of warning - the only room with AC is the master bedroom. That was tolerable; it was not too hot at night in June, but that might be an issue during hot weather. All in all, we had a nice time at this property, but I recommend the owners install a dishwasher, clear out some clutter, and have a maintenance weekend.

Absolutely Stunning
We were absolutely Stunned when we walked into the house. Mouths dropped open, it was Gorgeous! It way better than I imagined, way better than the photos. WOW, Beautiful, Stunning. Filled with sumptuous artwork by Heidy, a very talented local artist. This place is: Heavenly; Unique; Stunning. Kitchen, architecture, artwork: eclectic. Peaceful natural retreat; Close-in to Fortuna, convenient yet private; Own forested land; Surrounded by sounds of nature howler monkeys, frogs, birds; Full lap pool; Absolutely Stunning. Kitchenware could use an update. The owner, Peter: charming, laid back. There was a maintenance issue requiring attention which would preclude us from staying the first night we were scheduled to arrive. Peter offered us several options for compensation which was greatly appreciated. Exactly what we were looking for. Great!! Thank you, Peter!

Great Stay for a private residence and family/group
As a family/group of 5 this was a great option for us! 2 adults and 3 teens and we fit nicely into this spacious villa! Peter was a very kind host with a lovely property with a pool and a view! Right in La Fortuna, this was a perfect option for all the tours including the hot springs, volcano hike, mystic hanging bridges, zip lining and ATV tour. Everything was very close within 10-15 minutes including other food options. The property is right across from the Casa Luna hotel which had great food and helped us book our excursions! After long days of activity, a dip in the pool was fantastic and refreshing! Not all of the home has AC so if that is a must, this may not be the place for you-the master has AC and was very comfortable. There is also a laundry room which was nice for us after long days of hiking, swimming and ATV in which we were dusty and dirty! Overall, very nice!

La Fortuna adventures
We loved the rental. Peter and Heidy were very helpful on all levels and booked most of our activities for us at discounted rates. Heidy also sent a nightly summary of the next day's activities and pickup times, etc. Great visit to La Fortuna and a great place to stay.
