Great place to stay with our extended family. We felt safe in the gated community. We loved the solitude of the area with extra parking for our group. Having 2 houses with lots of beds and a shared pool and bbq area were so fun each morning and evening to gather together.
Great location, walkable to a good restaurant and several other things. Liked being in a secure gated community. Host was responsive to any questions. Pool was beautiful even if it was too cool to use during our stay. It was nice to have some supplies like coffee, salt, shampoo to get started. While they had papertowels, no kitchen towels, which felt a little wasteful. The kitchen is stocked with some basics but you probably wont be cooking dinner at the units. Was fine for us to make breakfast and snacks. We had some issues with showers, may need new shower heads as shower sprays out of shower, even sprays through the curtain. Overall a fine fit for our group of 6 ladies and budget friendly.
We enjoyed our stay! The pool and surrounding patio were great for relaxing and the outdoor area behind was wonderful for bird watching and yoga. We didn't cook much, but appreciated the coffee maker, refrigerators and access to dishes. The road leading up to the property turn in is very rough, so be prepared for that. Also, a house has been built across the street that now obstructs the volcano view, but walking just a short distance, you can get a beautiful view.Our host was very helpful and responsive. He even suggested a driver for us! We would definitely stay again!
Property was just what we needed for our family group of 13 traveling to La Fortuna for a few days. There was plenty of space to spread out, the pool was fantastic (when it wasn't raining), and the neighborhood felt secure and safe with easy access back into town and all attractions.
The place was perfect location for our stay. However, wish there were at least some wash clothes and more then two hand towels. It was clean and pool was nice for our teenagers.
The two matching villas were perfect for our family of 12. The gated community is secluded but still close enough to the activities La Fortuna has to of.
Overall a nice stay and well suited for two families traveling together - we enjoyed the private space each home offered as well as shared time in the pool and on the lanai.Between the two houses we had most of what we needed but neither was entirely complete (for example, one house had a coffee maker but no coffee pot, one house had hot pads and the other didnât) - recommend taking quick inventory of each to make sure each has what it needs.
You will need to have a car to stay at this unique property in La Fortuna. It is the perfect home to rent if two families or a large group of friends are traveling together. The home was clean. The common spaces were a little small, so it makes a great place to rest your head at night but not to hang out as a group. It is a quick drive into La Fortuna and all the activites in the area. There are a lot of dining options if you don't want to prepare your own meals.The home was clean and the beds are comfortable. The couches in one of the houses are well used, so probably wouldn't be very comfortable to sleep on. The community is secure and safe.
Overall it was great a few things needs to be fix liked the doors wonât close and we didnât have washing machine. But I canât complain service it was amazing communication was right away . I definitely recommend it
Our stay at the Villa del encanto was everything we need to make our experience the most memorable one. The Villa is an excellent option for two sets of families where everyone can have time by themselves and also meet at the pool to swim or eat meal together near the pool. The villa was tastefully decorated and made wise us of the space.
Tip: make use of the bedroom curtains at night as the sun does is bright in the morning. I found the the curtains completely keeps the sun out , enough for me to sleep in a couple of hours later.
The. Villa is centrally located so we could do our activities (hikes, white water rafting , chocolate/coffee tours, thermal spa and zip lining) and come back to rest at mid-day before doing another activity.
I was impressed with how they have everything we needed to make our stay a home away from home. The place was immaculate and the grounds well maintained. We made use of the pool and was close enough to the town center to try some of the local restaurants.
Highly recommend the place and we would stay there again if we come back to La Fortuna. I LOVED the view of the volcano, that in itself is worth the stay!
Staying at La Fortuna, Costa Rica was an absolute delight! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a stunning view of the Arenal Volcano right from our doorstep. The accommodations were impeccably clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated, providing the perfect blend of comfort and style. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable, offering invaluable local tips for exploring the area and arranging unforgettable excursions. We especially loved lounging in the hammocks on the terrace, surrounded by lush tropical gardens and the soothing sounds of nature. Whether you're seeking adventure or relaxation, this place in La Fortuna is a hidden gem that truly captures the essence of pura vida living. We can't wait to return!
The property was clean but there was a sewer gas odor in the master bath. We had ages 2 thru 85 in our group. We used every inch of both villas. The location was close to things we wanted to do. Unfortunately the most direct route had the road and it took a while to find after getting to the area. The kitchens are small with no dishwasher. We typically cook most of our meals but ate out more than usually because of the lack of room and pans for larger groups. The pool was nice but went down about 6 inches over the 5 days we were there. Overall, the property accommodated our needs. We really enjoyed exploring the Arenal activities.
La propiedad es tal como se ve en las fotos, nos parecio perfecta para nuestro grupo, las camas son muy comodas, el lugar hermoso. La entrada esta un poco dificil de conseguir, la direccion proporcionada por el GPS nos lleva a la parte de atras de la casa por una calle sin salida, como yo no tenia internet se me hizo dificil contactar al encargado, luego de un buen rato miramos por un camino pequeño y nos percatamos que allà estaba la entreda de la propiedad. Sugiero indicaciones con nombres de lugares cercano para dejarse llevar. Por lo demås recomiendo el lugar
Property was located in a nice secluded neighborhood. Town of La Fortuna close by via 7-15 minute cab ride. Town was quaint, lovely shops, grocery & butcher. The best was the pool & hammock which I enjoyed tremendously! Owners & property manager very receptive & attended to all our immediate needs. Will definitely post my good time on social media.
This home was perfect! Plenty of room for the many people we had plis visitors. Plenty of supplies like dishes and towels for our large group. The view was Breathtaking!
